A popular brand of vegan cheese puffs is being recalled due to undisclosed allergens.

The Canadian-made cheese puffs were mislabeled, according to a notice posted on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) website on Wednesday, Aug. 12. Frankie’s Organic is recalling 94 cases of the Plant-Based Vegan Cheddar Puffs because they may contain undeclared milk. Milk allergies or severe sensitivities can result in serious or life-threatening allergic reactions, according to the FDA.

The recall was initiated after two complaints of allergic reactions from consuming the product were filed in Canada.

The Plant-Based Vegan Cheddar Puffs were sold at PCC Markets in Washington State and at Earth Fare Stores in Florida and South Carolina. They were also available at independent retailers in those areas.

The recall is limited to the Organic Plant-Based Vegan Cheddar Puffs in a 4-ounce bag with Best If Used by: 05 16 2027 and a UPC code of 816929000089. No other Frankie’s Organic products are impacted.

“At Frankie’s Organic, the safety of consumers is the top priority. Frankie’s Organic follows the highest possible food safety and quality control standards to ensure the safety and full enjoyment of its snacks,” the recall notice stated.

It continued, “The root cause has been found to be an ingredient at the supplier level of seasoning that contains the allergen. Frankie’s Organic is committed to implementing corrective actions following from the investigation of this event.”

The FDA urges customers to either discard or return the affected product to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Disney is preparing for some major changes at its iconic Magic Kingdom theme park.

In addition to sharing new details about upcoming new park areas like the Cars-themed Piston Peak National Park and the mysterious Villains Land, WDW News Today confirmed an inside look at the new refurbishments to the beloved Tomorrowland staple, Carousel of Progress.

According to the website, Disney is set to upgrade the fan-favorite Disney attraction by pushing its central narrative back to the latter days of the 20th century.

As part of the new overhaul, Disney provided a first look at the various scenes, outfits, characters and settings for the refurbished version of the ride, all of which mark some sweeping changes to the Carousel of Progress’s usual presentation.

Reopening in 2027, Carousel of Progress has experienced six major iterations since its initial debut at the New York World’s Fair in 1964. Over the years, the company has updated the attraction to help keep the Carousel’s settings and characters relevant among modern audiences, with its last overhaul coming in 1993.

The new version of the ride will specifically cover a number of new scenes and settings, moving from the 1960s, to Halloween in the 1980s, to New Year’s Eve in 1999, to the distant future of tomorrow, characterized by off-planet human colonies and robotic assistants.

For those upset by some of the changes in store for the ride, fret not! The lovable canine companion Rover will remain a part of the new Carousel of Progress, as will it as its famous theme song, “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow,” written by the legendary Sherman brothers.

Perhaps most interestingly, the new version of the Carousel of Progress will also feature an opening scene with the first-ever audio-animatronic of Walt Disney, inspired by his appearance at the 1964 World’s Fair discussing his original vision for the attraction.

There are plenty of ways to make a cocktail feel fancy. You can break out the shaker, make homemade flavored simple syrup, or start muddling herbs and fruit like you’re behind a beachside cabana bar. Or, apparently, you can just crack open a can of Dr Pepper.

It turns out the familiar soda makes a surprisingly good starting point for a summer cocktail. That’s partly because Dr Pepper isn’t exactly a one-note mixer. The soda is famously built around a blend of 23 flavors, which means you’re starting with plenty of sweetness, fruit, spice and carbonation before you add anything else to the glass.

Better yet, it only takes three additions to steer all of that familiar Dr Pepper flavor in an entirely different direction and turn it into a Cherry Dr Pepper Margarita. Together, those three simple ingredients balance some of the soda’s sweetness; add a brighter, more grown-up edge; and turn something you’d normally drink straight from the can into a fizzy summer drink that feels like something you’d find on a craft cocktail menu.

Best of all, there’s nothing particularly complicated about making a cherry-flavored Dr Pepper margarita—no homemade syrups, specialty mixers or course in mixology required. Just a few easy additions, some ice and that can of Dr Pepper already chilling in the fridge.

It’s also easy to build on. Once you have the basic combination down, fresh herbs, flavored rims and other classic cocktail additions can take it in all sorts of directions without requiring a cart full of specialty ingredients.

So, what are the three ingredients that can take an everyday Dr Pepper from soda to summer cocktail? Here’s what to add to create a Cherry Dr Pepper Margarita—and why the combination works so well.

So, what are the three ingredients? Fresh cherries, fresh lime juice and tequila.

Dr Pepper already provides sweetness, spice and carbonation, so these three additions are enough to push the familiar soda firmly into cocktail territory. Tequila brings earthy agave character and a little bite, while fresh lime supplies the tart acidity needed to cut through the soda’s sweetness and give the drink the bright citrus edge you’d expect from a margarita. Fresh cherries add another layer of jammy fruit flavor that plays particularly well with the soda.

I decided to give the Cherry Dr Pepper Margarita a try, and it truly couldn’t get much easier. Simply muddle a small handful of fresh, pitted cherries with 1 ounce of fresh lime juice in the bottom of a glass. Stir in 2 ounces of tequila, add ice, then top everything with Dr Pepper and give it a gentle stir. A fresh cherry and lime wedge make easy and elegant garnishes.

With the very first sip I noticed just how well balanced the drink is. You get Dr Pepper’s soda-sweet spice, a sharp hit of limey citrus, jammy cherry fruit and the unmistakable agave character of the tequila, but no single flavor completely takes over. It’s refreshing, effervescent and considerably more interesting than you’d expect from something built around a can of soda.

There’s also plenty of room to play with the proportions. Let the Dr Pepper lead, and you get a lighter, sweeter summer sipper; add a little more tequila, and the cocktail takes on a decidedly boozier edge without losing what makes it work. The lime juice is key, keeping the muddled cherries and sweet soda in check, while the tequila gives the drink its more grown-up profile.

It’s an intentionally simplified spin on a margarita. A classic margarita typically includes tequila, lime juice and orange liqueur, but in this case Dr Pepper takes over much of the heavy lifting to create balance. And if you want something a little closer to the classic, there’s plenty of room to build on that basic formula.

Why This Works: The Science of the ‘Dirty Soda’ Trend View this post on Instagram

If the idea of adding a few ingredients to Dr Pepper to completely change the way it tastes sounds familiar, there’s a reason. It’s essentially the same basic idea that helped turn dirty soda into one of the biggest beverage trends of the past few years, flooding social media with posts like Instagrammer Crystal Williamson‘s recent claim that she’s “ridiculously addicted.”

Dirty sodas typically start with a familiar soft drink and layer in flavored syrups, creamers, fresh citrus or other additions. The trend got its start in Utah soda shops before exploding on social media, where seemingly endless combinations turned ordinary fountain drinks into highly customizable creations.

Dr Pepper has become a particularly popular starting point, and even Keurig Dr Pepper has embraced the trend. When the company brought back Dr Pepper Creamy Coconut for summer 2026, it specifically connected the limited-edition flavor to dirty soda culture.

A similar principle applies here. Dr Pepper already brings a surprisingly complex flavor base to the glass, so you don’t need many ingredients to change its personality. Instead of starting with a neutral carbonated mixer and adding several syrups or liqueurs to build flavor, you’re starting with a soda that already brings sweetness, fruit, spice and carbonation to the party.

The difference is what we’re adding. Tequila brings earthy, slightly peppery agave notes, while fresh lime provides acidity and brightness. The muddled cherries reinforce the soda’s fruitier notes while bringing fresh fruit flavor and a little extra texture to the glass. Rather than taking Dr Pepper further into dessert territory with cream and syrup, the combination pulls it in the opposite direction, turning the soda into something brighter, sharper and decidedly more grown-up.

How to Scale: Single Glass vs. Party Pitcher

For a single drink, muddle a small handful of fresh cherries with 1 ounce of fresh lime juice, stir in 2 ounces of tequila, add ice and top with Dr Pepper. From there, the proportions are pretty forgiving. More Dr Pepper gives you a lighter, sweeter drink, while less lets the tequila take a more prominent role.

Scaling up for a party is just as easy, but there’s one ingredient you don’t want sitting around in the pitcher: the soda.

Combine the muddled cherries, tequila and lime juice ahead of time and keep the mixture chilled. When you’re ready to serve, pour it over ice and add the Dr Pepper. You could also set out chilled cans or bottles and let guests top their own glasses. Either way, adding the soda at the last minute preserves the carbonation that makes the drink so refreshing.

5 Ways to ‘Dress Up’ Your Soda Cocktail

The Cherry Dr Pepper Margarita already packs plenty of flavor, but it’s also easy to tweak depending on whether you want to push it spicier, fruitier, more tropical or a little closer to a classic margarita.

1. Give it a Tajín rim.

The combination of chile, salt and lime adds another layer of flavor while helping counter some of the drink’s sweetness.

2. Add a splash of orange liqueur.

Triple sec, Cointreau, Jägermeister Orange or another orange liqueur brings the drink closer to a classic margarita and adds another layer of citrus flavor.

3. Swap the cherries for another fresh fruit.

Blueberries, strawberries or raspberries would work particularly well with Dr Pepper’s fruity-spicy profile. Muddle them with the lime just as you would the cherries.

4. Make it coconut.

Coconut and Dr Pepper are already an established combination, and coconut, lime and tequila work naturally together. Add a small splash of coconut syrup to give the Cherry Dr Pepper Margarita a more tropical spin without burying the soda’s signature flavor.

5. Swap the spirit you use.

Tequila makes sense for a margarita, but it’s certainly not the only spirit that plays well with Dr Pepper. Bourbon or whiskey can emphasize the soda’s warmer, spicier notes and give it more of a smoky profile, while rum takes the drink in a sweeter, more tropical direction. It won’t technically be a margarita anymore, but that’s hardly a reason not to experiment.

The ‘Mocktail’ Version: A Dirty Dr Pepper for Everyone View this post on Instagram

The Cherry Dr Pepper Margarita is also particularly easy to turn into a mocktail, especially with so many nonalcoholic tequila alternatives now available.

For inspiration, I turned to Christine Wayne, founder of On the Mocks, an alcohol-free community dedicated to mocktails and other zero-proof drinks. On her Instagram page @onthemocks, Wayne uses a nonalcoholic tequila to give drinks that familiar agave character without the alcohol.

Following her lead, muddle fresh, pitted cherries with 1 ounce of fresh lime juice in the bottom of a glass. Stir in 2 ounces of nonalcoholic tequila, add ice and top with Dr Pepper. Give everything a gentle stir, and garnish with a cherry and lime wedge.

You still get the same basic interplay that makes the cocktail work: jammy cherry fruit, bright lime, Dr Pepper’s familiar sweet-spiced fizz and a little extra complexity from the tequila alternative. The lime is particularly important here because its acidity helps balance the sweetness of both the soda and cherries.

Of course, you don’t necessarily need a tequila substitute. Leave it out, and the drink starts moving back toward its dirty soda roots. For an even more traditional dirty soda spin, you could add a splash of cream or coconut creamer instead. Either way, fresh cherries, lime and Dr Pepper give you an alcohol-free summer drink that feels like something more special than soda poured over ice.

Robbie Williams has revealed a new piece of his mental health story, sharing that he’s recently been diagnosed with autism after years of already living with ADHD.

The singer, 52, made the announcement during a Q&A at the launch of his clothing brand, Hopeium, at Flannels. He said the diagnosis has been strangely freeing, calling it his “get-out-of-jail-free card now.”

Williams first rose to fame at 16 when he joined Take That, and later built a solo career defined by hits like 1997’s ‘Angel.’ Even decades later, and with stadiums full of fans behind him, he says he still contends with intrusive thoughts he can’t always control.

He described one recent moment mid-flight, when an unprompted thought about telekinesis and plane crashes took hold out of nowhere. He’s learned to redirect that kind of thinking into his creative work instead, using it as an outlet rather than sitting with the anxiety.

This latest diagnosis adds to a list Williams has shared piece by piece over the years. He’s said he’s been diagnosed with ADHD three separate times, having forgotten his earlier diagnoses, and last year revealed he’s also been quietly living with Tourette syndrome, though he says his symptoms show up as internal urges rather than visible tics.

Williams has been open before about the toll fame took on him early on, having struggled with addiction and cycled through multiple stints in rehab after rising to prominence in the early ’90s. Even now, after decades of performing both solo and with Take That, he’s said touring itself still leaves him frightened, and that a stadium full of supportive fans doesn’t quiet the noise in his head.

With autism now added to the list, Williams says the diagnosis has finally started to make sense of behavior he could never quite explain.

Sheryl Crow certainly has something to say in her brand-new single, “Freedom Bus.”

The 64-year-old singer dropped a new song on Friday, Aug. 14 ahead of her forthcoming album, Pick You Up — and so far, it sounds like the new record is off to a strong and powerful start.

“Freedom Bus,” featuring guest vocals from singer-songwriter Jessie Welles, is a politically-charged track about the history of freedom in America — particularly involving free speech, and how it has changed amid country’s current, highly polarized political climate.

View this post on Instagram

Crow told Billboard that the song was inspired by her son’s 8th grade class field that she chaperoned, where they paid a visit to Arlington National Cemetery.

“We had a tour guide who was inspired…and the stories were not only inspiring but humbling,” Crow explained. “Everybody is trying to figure out what’s happening now. I don’t know that there’s anybody my age who doesn’t look at it and go, ‘It’s never been like this. It’s never been one side against another like it is now.'”

“I do not take freedom lightly, because our freedom has been paid for in the lives of others throughout history, and that is something I wish we could all remember when we are interacting with each other,” she continued.

“My whole feeling is just because you have the freedom of speech, it doesn’t give you permission to be an assh—le,” said Crow, who specifically sings the line, “Don’t be an assh—le, let everyone be,” in the song’s chorus. “You should care about a thoughtful dialogue. You should care about being able to disagree but still shake hands and hope for the best for everyone. We’ve lost that, and I think it does a disservice to those who not only serve in our military, but throughout our history have defended our way of life — and I feel like our way of life is really hanging in the balance. So that’s really what the song is about.”

“Freedom Bus” is out now, and will be included on Crow’s album Pick You Up, arriving on Oct. 9.

Halle Berry is stepping into 60, and she’s only wearing a silk robe to do it.

The Oscar-winning actress, who rose to fame in films like Boomerang and Bulworth, and later earned an Academy Award for her role in Monster’s Ball, took to Instagram to celebrate her 60th birthday in style. Sporting nothing but a floral silk robe, Berry munched on a strawberry as she reclined on outdoor furniture. Now that’s making 60 look better than ever!

“Today….don’t give a f—!” Berry captioned the sultry photo set.

Berry’s Pre-Birthday Post

Yesterday, Berry set the Internet on fire with her pre-birthday post in a sheer dress.

“60 here I come….,” she captioned the photo set.

View this post on Instagram Berry Says Women Deserve To Have Sex at Her Age

In a revealing interview with the UK’s The Times in January, Berry opened up about how she actually believed she would skip menopause. However, she found herself suffering from devastating effects.

“That’s how ignorant I was,” Berry shared, noting she had been suffering from perimenopausal symptoms for years. “I couldn’t remember the most basic things. When my daughter was little, I went to get a pizza and I put the pizza on top of the car and I drove all the way home. Luckily, it stayed on my car.” 

As time went on, her symptoms worsened.

“I would be up all night with night sweats. I couldn’t sleep. I was raging. I was angry all the time,” she noted, adding that she suffered severe bouts of anger and sadness. 

Determined to find an answer, she went on HRT five years ago. However, it didn’t solve every issue. The sexual struggles were significant, and that’s why Berry wants women her age to have the opportunity to conquer them just like men can. Now behind the menopause care brand Respin, Berry wants to encourage women to embrace their sexuality.

“We deserve to be still alive at this time of our lives and have sex and be intimate,” she told the publication. “That’s what makes us who we are. Men got the blue pill real quick because men know that their longevity depends on their ability to stay sexually active. Well, the same is true for us.”

She’s Playing an Elite Escort Next

The next role Berry tackles will be in Fleur, in which she will play a woman who leaves her marriage for Paris and reinvents herself as an elite escort. She said she relates to the role, which she is also producing, in a strange way.

“I relate to a woman who made that choice, putting everybody before herself, and now what’s left for her?” she noted.

Looking back on her child-rearing years, everything wasn’t perfect.

“I kept my career while I had kids and it was a juggling act. I missed big moments with them. But I’ve also been the breadwinner of my 

family… So I’ve had to take care of all of us and sometimes I’ve been resentful of that,” she explained. “But at the same time I’m grateful I held on to my career because when they’re gone, I’m still gonna have me.”

Made of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam, the orthotic footbed with arch support bends along with the natural movement and shape of your foot, mimicking the spring and cushioning of a squishy yoga mat. The flexible, shock-absorbing material compresses under pressure and then rebounds, which helps ease the impact of each step.

With each sandal weighing a mere 0.2 pounds, these flip-flops shouldn’t weigh you down, making them especially good for walking long distances. The straps are made of a smooth, suede-like material that shoppers said didn’t rub or cause blisters, even when worn for hours.

Neutrogena has responded to Tate McRae’s viral video sharing her “post show routine” on TikTok.

The 23-year-old singer used three of the brand’s products while winding down during a flight. She became a Neutrogena global ambassador in early 2025.

The “Sports Car” singer showed off the brand’s makeup wipes, but it looked as if she held the wipe so it never actually touched her skin. Then, McRae applies moisturizer, but again it doesn’t seem like she applies a lot, if any, of the product. She finishes the routine by placing patches under her eyes. At the end of the video, it appeared that she still had visible makeup on, which many fans have commented on.

The pop star performed at the Osheaga music festival in Montreal on August 1 before heading to Chicago for Lollapalooza. This video was posted after her performance in Canada.

The video has received over 20 million views and over 1.7 million likes. Many of the almost 12 thousand comments called out McRae for not actually using the products in the video.

One user wrote “HOW was the video approved 😭” while another commented “girl be careful, it almost touched ur skin.”

On Thursday, August 13, Neutrogena responded to the hate with a video shared on Instagram.

It shows a Neutrogena makeup wipe with eyes and lips, with “It’s time to come clean” written over it.

“Hey. Wow, I’ve been off the grid. Little digital detox after a big festival weekend,” the makeup wipes said. “You know the one, wink wink. And I checked my phone to see 9 million notifications from you guys, thank you.”

“I see you, and I hear you, girl,” the video continued. “I think I have some reflecting to do too, you know? I’m really, like really good at cleansing your face, but am I even better at causing a scene?”

The post was captioned, “I’d like to thank everyone for the sudden attention. Please respect my privacy as I adjust to the fame.”

When Taylor Frankie Paul was named as the next lead on The Bachelorette, there were comments about how messy the season could get. What nobody expected was for all the episodes to be pulled from the schedule completely.

However, just ahead of Paul’s season was set to begin in March 2026, ABC made the decision to scrap the season. A 2023 video of her throwing chairs at her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, resurfaced, and it led to a lengthy legal battle for Paul to keep custody of her children. ABC decided to pull the episodes despite the video being old and despite Paul already pleading guilty to charges laid after the incident in 2023.

It didn’t stop fans of the 32-year-old from calling to see the episodes. Paul took to her Instagram Stories to break her silence on the fan petition that started to get ABC to reconsider, sharing that she had also signed the petition. She said “You guys started a petition for the show. I love you all,” and she left a link to the Change.org petition.

It appears that she is still hopeful that her season will air at some point. However, for now, ABC has moved forward with casting for The Bachelor.

The petition was started by Breanna Negron, and it currently has 18,365 signatures. Negron noted that fans of The Bachelorette “are demanding the release of the unaired season that was already filmed and ready for viewers.”

The petition goes on to share how damaging the situation has been for Paul and that ABC needed to consider a more balanced approach rather than just never airing the episodes. Fans want to see her story told, allowing for fairness when it comes to the discourse that has been “harmful to her reputation.”

Fellow fans took to the comments to share why the season is so important to them. The idea that something from 2023 can resurface has led to people viewing mistakes end up defining a person’s future, and that’s not the way it should be. One user shared, “I care about seeing Taylor’s season because the way her life has played out, especially with Dakota, has genuinely hit really close to home.”

The petition was started five months ago, but this is the first time Paul has spoken out about it. There have been various rumors that ABC was ready to share the season, but those rumors never became true; it’s clear fans still want to see it.

The year was 1977. NASA was putting together the Voyager program, a mission to explore some of the planets of our solar system with a pair of probes. With this mission came the dual objective of representing our species to any extraterrestrials the probes may encounter. This was to be accomplished in part with the Golden Record, a record containing recordings of all human language, and select songs from throughout our history, including the 1958 smash hit “Johnny B. Goode.”

Chuck Berry’s legacy really stands on the shoulders of “Johnny B. Goode.” it’s one of early rock n’ roll’s most enduring classics, and much of the genre going forward is built upon the success of that song. Its legacy endures throughout history as well as pop culture, where it made its instantly iconic appearance during Back to the Future.

It’s a super memorable scene that helped bring this song to the masses decades after it first burst onto the scene. This of course isn’t a newfound success for the song, as it was a gigantic hit when it came out. The song rose to the number 8 spot on the hot 100 chart, and became one of the defining songs of ’50s rock music.

The track stands as the only piece of rock music on the Golden Record, with the closest next thing being “Dark was the Night, Cold Was the Ground,” a classic blues song from Blind Willie Johnson. I think it’s really cool that a rock song like that of “Johnny B. Goode” was chosen as a representation of the human race. I think it gives us a bit of a rebellious quality that matches the human spirit quite well.

As of yet, it seems no aliens have found the music of Chuck Berry, but hopefully some day we can bond with another species in the stars about some of Earth’s classic music.

The 28-year-old allocated in court, revealing that he “posed as a potential investor and emailed the insurance giant to confirm the location of the investors conference so he could track Thompson’s location,” per NBC News. He did so in front of Thompson’s family.

“I emailed UnitedHealthcare with the intent to shoot Brian Thompson,” Mangione said in his statement. “On the morning of Dec. 4, 2024 I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan in his back.”

He said that he “understood my actions would place [Thompson] in fear of death and bodily injury,” adding that he “knew what I was doing was illegal.”

Sentencing for the federal trial is set to take place on Dec. 18. Mangione faces a maximum possible sentence of life in prison. As for his state trial, it is currently set to carry a maximum possible sentence of life in prison. Mangione’s lawyers have filed for the state charges to be dismissed under New York’s double jeopardy law.

Brian Thompson’s Family Releases Statement

Following Mangione’s guilty plea, Thompson’s family released a statement.

“Today’s guilty plea marks an important step toward justice for Brian and for our family,” the family said, per PEOPLE. “While nothing will ease the pain of losing him, we are grateful that the federal justice system has held the person responsible for this heinous act accountable.”

“Now we look to the court to ensure that sentencing reflects the severity of this crime,” the statement continued. “We remain mindful that additional proceedings in New York and Pennsylvania are still to come, and we will continue to seek the justice Brian deserves.”

Jeff Daniels is one of the most versatile actors of all time, with iconic roles ranging from Harry Dunne in Dumb and Dumber to Will McAvoy, a cable-news anchor on The Newsroom.

His acting chops aren’t the only testament to his genius, as he went viral earlier this year on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert when asked the simple question: “What is the best sandwich?”

His answer? A personal favorite consisting of pita bread, creamy peanut butter, crushed Ruffles Cheddar & Sour Cream chips and barbecue sauce — a concoction Daniels described as “like visiting three countries at once.”

Now he’s doubling down on his culinary credentials, opening his own restaurant and live music venue in his hometown of Chelsea, Michigan.

JD’s Stage Bistro — which you can guess what JD stands for — opened its doors Aug. 11. Offering locally inspired dishes, wood-fired pizzas and cocktails alongside a steady calendar of live performances, the new venue brings Daniels’ love of music and his Midwest roots under one roof.

The go-to sandwich he proudly makes at home hasn’t made the menu thus far, as the bistro has opted for more upscale fare, including a three-course dinner on its Stage Menu and a Dessert Menu to die for, featuring a Sweet Corn Crème Brûlée.

The daughter of the Rolling Stones icon, 34, who serves as the founder of May Botanicals, sports the same blonde hair as her Texan model mother.

Sharing photos from her sweet family vacation in England, Georgia soaked up the sun in a string bikini and frolicked on the beach with her family. With that iconic Jagger smile and her mom’s long, blonde hair, she’s the perfect fusion of her famous parents.

“Excited to turn 30 again tomorrow 🩵,” Georgia May captioned the photo set, which featured a stunning waterfront photo of the beauty toting her young son in her arms. From building sandcastles on sandy beaches to sipping wine with her mom, it looks like Georgia May knows how to have a good time.

Jimmy Kimmel has been pulling double duty as both the host to Jimmy Kimmel Live! as well as the host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

When it comes to the differences in responsibilities between the two, however, Kimmel has shared there’s one notable difficulty he has with Who Wants to Be a Millionaire that he seldom has with Jimmy Kimmel Live!

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the 58-year-old TV host was asked what the hardest thing was about hosting Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, the long-running game show presented by ABC.

Hilariously, Kimmel revealed that the hardest thing about hosting the show was correctly announcing each question and subsequent answers, largely rooted around proper pronunciation.

“Pronunciation! Even the word pronunciation is hard to pronounce,” Kimmel humorously said.

Elsewhere in the interview, The Hollywood Reporter also spoke with Kimmel about some of the biggest standout moments of his past year on TV, including which moments stand out to him the clearest.

Unsurprisingly, Kimmel quickly mentioned the brief suspension he received from ABC following his comments on the death of political activist Charlie Kirk. After his show was briefly removed from the air, ABC reinstated the show following significant backlash from fans and critics alike.

“No question that what I will remember most is the reaction to our unscheduled vacation [after Kirk], which went so far beyond what I ever could have expected,” Kimmel said. “I’ll never forget the support from friends, strangers and even those who generally make me throw up.”

When asked which guests he’d still like to have on the show, Kimmel also mentioned a former U.S. president, an ex-First Lady and a pair of legendary rock musicians as ideal dream guests.

“The Obamas would be a fun team,” Kimmel said. “Also, Hall & Oates.”

Bridget Fonda has been keeping a low profile for years, but new photos are giving fans a rare glimpse at the former actress.

Fonda, 62, was recently photographed during a rare public outing nearly 25 years after she walked away from her Hollywood career. In photos published by Page Six, the former actress can be seen wearing a striped tank top and a pair of black pants with a pair of black sneakers and a cross body bag as her accessories. She wore her graying hair up in what appeared to be a bun as she exited a restaurant after having a meal with her assistant.

Fonda has largely stayed out of the public eye since leaving Hollywood, choosing a quieter life away from the entertainment industry. Her last acting role came in 2009’s The Whole Shebang, though she had already begun stepping back from acting years before that.

At the height of her career, Fonda appeared in a number of popular films, including Single White Female, Point of No Return, It Could Happen to You and The Godfather III. She was also part of one of Hollywood’s most famous acting families as the daughter of Peter Fonda and granddaughter of Henry Fonda.

Fonda has previously spoken about her decision to leave acting, explaining that she wanted to focus on raising her son, Oliver. 

In 2023, paparazzi caught up with Fonda and asked her if she’d ever return to the spotlight.

“No,” she responded, according to the Daily Mail. “I don’t think so, it’s too nice being a civilian.”

Fonda still lives in the Los Angeles area with her husband, film composer Danny Elfman, whom she married in 2003.

In 1986, Stephen King unleashed one of his most famous creations on the world. Now, 40 years later, It is returning in a new anniversary edition with a fitting connection to another supernatural phenomenon.

A 40th anniversary edition of King’s “It” is coming this fall, and it will feature an all-new introduction from Matt and Ross Duffer, the creators of Stranger Things.

King teased the release with a creepy video on Instagram that slowly zoomed in on a bookshelf filled with his books while ominous, Stranger Things-esque music played. The video announced the anniversary edition before revealing an animated red book decorated with black eyes and a black balloon, alongside two children riding bicycles.

The new edition celebrates four decades since It was first published in 1986. The sprawling horror novel follows the members of the Losers’ Club across two periods in their lives as they confront an ancient, shape-shifting evil lurking beneath the fictional town of Derry, Maine. The creature takes the form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown, famously portrayed by Tim Curry in the made-for-TV adaptation and Bill Skarsgård in the updated movies and prequel television series.

The Duffer Brothers are an especially fitting choice to introduce King’s novel to readers 40 years later.

The filmmakers have been open about the DNA of 1980s pop culture running through Stranger Things, with King’s work among the influences that helped shape the supernatural series.

Their connection to King goes beyond Stranger Things. The brothers previously teamed with Steven Spielberg to develop an adaptation of “The Talisman,” King’s 1984 fantasy novel co-written with Peter Straub.

For collectors who aren’t afraid of a little Pennywise staring back from the bookshelf, there’s an even more elaborate version on the way.

The 40th anniversary deluxe edition is limited to just 1,010 hand-numbered copies and includes a specially created die-cut slipcase, an exclusive jacket, four-color endpapers, a ribbon marker and digitally printed artwork of Pennywise across all three page edges.

The deluxe edition is priced at £75 and is currently scheduled to publish on Nov. 26, 2026.

“IT” became the bestselling hardcover fiction book in the United States in 1986 and won the British Fantasy Award the following year.

The novel has since spawned multiple screen adaptations, including the 1990 miniseries starring Curry, Annette O’Toole, John Ritter, Richard Thomas and more, and the 2017 blockbuster starring Skarsgård, its 2019 sequel It Chapter Two and the 2025 series It: Welcome to Derry.

Four decades after readers first ventured into Derry, it appears Pennywise still isn’t ready to stay down in the sewer.

Creedence Clearwater Revival landed themselves almost at the top of the charts when John Fogerty created one of rock’s iconic anthems with two simple words: “Proud Mary.”

Some fans may not know that one of Tina Turner‘s classic hits that has been listened to for generations, “Proud Mary,” is actually a cover, as Creedence Clearwater Revival released the track in 1968 and landed the band at No.2 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Billboard even ranked the track at No.1 31 on their list of the “Greatest No. 2 Hits” that were just shy of becoming No. 1.

The track was blocked from reaching the top by Sly & The Family Stone‘s hit “Everyday People” and Tommy Roe‘s “Dizzy.” Believe it or not, Creedence Clearwater Revival would actually never land a No.1 on the charts despite hits like “Bad Moon Rising” and “Who’ll Stop the Rain.”

Fogerty finally revealed the inspiration behind “Proud Mary,” and once explained that writing the track was the “moment when songwriting truly started for me.” Appearing on NPRMusic, Fogerty revealed that the first line of the song came when he found his discharge papers from the military and felt joy.

“I found my honorable discharge on the stairs to my apartment house. I went right into the house and picked up my Rickenbacker guitar, started strumming, and the very first line that came out of me was, ‘left a good job in the city. Working for the man every night and day,'” he said.

“When I finished the song its took well less than an hour. I knew ‘Proud Mary’ was finished, and I realized I had done something I’d never done before. I mean it really felt different and I looked at the page that I’d written this on and said, ‘John you’ve written a classic wow.'”

The singer-songwriter was “dumbfounded” and “shocked” at the track he created. Fogerty first developed the song to be about a maid working for a wealthy family and came up with the title based on the two words he scribbled in his songbook.

According to American Songwriter, the use of a riverboat also came from the notebook, and explained, “I wrote the song about a mythical riverboat, cruising on a mythical river, in a mythical time,” Fogerty concluded in 2018. “Perhaps the setting was ‘back in time’ on the Mississippi River. It was obviously a metaphor about leaving painful, stressful things behind for a more tranquil and meaningful life.”

Before being recorded by Tuner and Ike, the track was covered by Solomon Burke and The Checkmates. In 1971, Turner and Ike weren’t exactly fans of Fogerty’s original track, and it was the Checkmates’ version that caught their interest. After needed rearrangements, they turned it into a funk rock track with a soul edge that landed them at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.

Despite it being a cover, “Proud Mary” would become one of Turner’s signature tracks that earned the duo a Grammy Award for Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Group at the 14th Annual Grammy Awards in 1972. Creedence Clearwater Revival and Turner’s versions would land them in the Grammy Hall of Fame and be listed among Rolling Stone’s “Greatest Songs of All Time.”

YA devotees are eagerly awaiting next week’s highly-anticipated final season of Outer Banks. But, if you’re looking for some teen drama to help you get back in the saddle before then, you can check out Season 3 of My Life with the Walter Boys, which dropped in its entirety on Aug. 6. Based on Ali Novak’s novel of the same name, the third season picks up from last year’s torturous cliffhanger, with George’s medical emergency interrupting Jackie’s love declaration to Cole. Things are incredibly complicated, to say the least, for not only the lovesick teens, but the Walter family as a whole. It all sets up to an even more scintillating cliffhanger in the finale — which we’ll luckily see resolved in an already-announced Season 4 next year.

Shane Gillis never ended up making it onto the cast of Saturday Night Live, booted from being a featured player after insensitive clips of his surfaced online. But it’s safe to say he’s rebounded successfully, landing a prime gig on Netflix with Tires. The sitcom, created by Gillis and filmmaker John McKeever, returned for a third season on Aug. 13, continuing to cover the shenanigans of a struggling auto-repair chain, and the employees therein. With a cast that includes fan-favorite comedian Stavros Halkias and Oscar nominee Thomas Haden Church, it’s safe to say the wheels aren’t falling off Tires anytime soon.
