More than five decades after it first hit the airwaves, one Tony Orlando and Dawn classic is still striking a chord with fans. The 1970 smash has not only stood the test of time, but is now ranked as one of the group's most listened to songs, proving its feel-good appeal has never really faded.

According to user airplay at Last.fm, "Candida" is the second-most played Tony Orlando and Dawn song after "Knock Three Times." It remains one of the group's signature hits and a favorite among fans more than five decades after its release.

Rounding out the top four are "Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Old Oak Tree," followed by "He Don't Love You (Like I Love You)."

According to Billboard, "Candida" ranked at No. 3 in 1970. It was the group's first single, but was billed as Dawn. According to American Songwriter, at the time of the song's release, Orlando was working as an executive for Columbia Records and his identity was purposely kept hidden.

Irwin Levine and Toni Wine wrote “Candida,” and a demo was recorded, but the song's producers, Dave Appell and Hank Medress, wanted a different sound vocally, so they called Orlando to fill in. The song, released on Bell Records, directly competed with Orlando's work at Columbia.

Therefore, Orlando asked that his name not appear on the recording. The website wrote, "After the follow-up single, 'Knock Three Times,' scored big as well, Orlando finally accepted that he had a lucrative singing career in front of him."

After two hits in a row, Orlando stepped down from his role at Columbia and devoted himself to his recording career. The band was renamed Tony Orlando and Dawn, and he soon became a household name alongside Joyce Vincent Wilson and Telma Hopkins.

The band's chart success led to a 1970s variety television show, which gave the singing group even more national exposure. It aired from 1974 through 1976 and was originally titled The Tony Orlando and Dawn Show, but was later renamed The Tony Orlando and Dawn Rainbow Hour for its final season.

More than 30 years after it first changed the course of hard rock, Dirt is climbing the charts once again.

Alice in Chains' landmark 1992 album has re-entered Billboard’s Hard Rock Albums chart, landing at No. 25 in the latest rankings. The surprise resurgence is the latest reminder that one of grunge's defining records continues to resonate with both longtime fans and a new generation of listeners.

The renewed chart success adds another chapter to the album's remarkable legacy.

Upon its original release, Dirt peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and became Alice in Chains' most commercially successful studio album. Featuring enduring songs including "Would?," "Rooster," "Them Bones," "Down in a Hole" and "Angry Chair," the record established the Seattle quartet as one of the most important rock bands of the 1990s.

By that point, Alice in Chains had already emerged as one of the leading voices of the Seattle music scene. Formed in 1987 by guitarist Jerry Cantrell and drummer Sean Kinney, the band found early success with its debut album, Facelift, propelled by the breakthrough single "Man in the Box." Alongside Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, Alice in Chains became part of the "Big Four" of grunge, though its heavier sound often blurred the line between alternative rock and heavy metal.

"We all play rock music, so there is some similarity," Cantrell told Rolling Stone in 1992. "But the bands are different. Ours is a little more brooding and introspective. Pearl Jam is a soul that's full of life and invigorating, and Nirvana is kind of beautifully dysfunctional…. These are just words I'm pulling off the top of my head. Even if I can't put my finger on it, there's an individual identity to the bands."

Dirt elevated the band to another level. Built around the haunting vocal interplay between Layne Staley and Cantrell, the album explored addiction, loss, trauma and survival with an honesty that set it apart from many of its contemporaries. Over the years, critics have consistently ranked it among the greatest hard rock and grunge albums ever recorded, while its influence can still be heard in countless rock and metal bands that followed.

"It's 30 years (later) and we are still talking about a record that four guys from the Northwest made back in 1992, and that's pretty cool," Cantrell told Billboard in 2022. "As an artist, that’s what the ultimate goal is—to create something that lasts and gets handed down through generations of listeners. It's not for everybody, but it has a way of finding its people."

The band's success continued after Dirt. In 1994, Alice in Chains made Billboard history when Jar of Flies became the first EP ever to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, further cementing the group's place among the era’s biggest rock acts.

"We were lucky that when we got a bunch of money to do our first major label deal, we insisted on control, of what we released as singles or how we made albums with no interference from the label —which was rare, then," Kinney told Variety. "We didn't really have A&R. We'd hear input from them, sure, and how dumb we were at times, but more often than not, our mistakes worked. Every time they told us we were veering toward 'career suicide,' we had to remind them that we didn’t have a career. We were only on our first albums."

More than three decades after its release, Dirt remains the album most closely associated with Alice in Chains. Its return to the Billboard charts is more than a nostalgic milestone, it's proof that one of rock's most powerful and uncompromising albums continues to find new life with each passing generation.

It’s no secret that Simon Cowell is a dog lover. So when Olivia Befus walked out onto the America’s Got Talent stage holding on to a cute little dog named Zeke, he was all smiles, but so were judges Mel B, Sofia Vergara and Howie Mandel, also fans.

It was Sofia who had the chance to chat with the 17-year-old from Midland, MI, who has had Zeke for three-and-a-half years.

“I’ve absolutely always loved animals,” Olivia said. “Any animal I could get my hands on. Ever since I was about six, I’ve had Guinea pigs, birds, bearded dragons, absolutely everything. Our house is a little bit of a zoo.”

Olivia and Zeke then performed a series of tricks with Zeke showing he had all the right moves to “Espresso” by Sabrina Carpenter, and halfway through, Zeke ran offstage and Olivia was joined by a second dog, Phoenix, and the act continued.

“Olivia, you’re so young and so good,” Sofia told her. “[Phoenix] was a nice surprise. Have you taught yourself to do all this?”

The surprising answer from Olivia is that she learned how to train dogs from watching AGT.

“Well, you did a great job,” Sofia said.

“I think that’s the most inspiring spot in the world,” Howie said, pointing to the AGT stage. “And the fact that you’re inspired, and then you come here, and you inspire millions more to do what they see here. That was beautiful.”

Mel B shared, “What I like about this act is that the dogs are clearly really enjoying themselves. You’ve trained them with so much love and so much care, and that melts my heart, so thank you.”

Then Simon queried Olivia on what breed Phoenix was.

Olivia responded that he was a Border Collie and whippet mix. Simon said, “Those are not easy dogs to train.”

“He’s one of my smartest dogs, and, honestly, I think it’s just because of our bond,” Olivia said. “He follows me around doing everything with me.”

No surprise, Oliva got four yeses from the judges with Simon adding, “I think you actually have a real gift for this."

In the last year, former Bachelorette Hannah Brown has gotten married, started a massive home renovation and is releasing her third fiction novel, Reasons to Be Loved by You. Just a casual amount of major life moments.

The reality star and bestselling author, who married Adam Woolard last year in France, explained to Parade that her first year as a wife has coincided with a major home renovation project that has temporarily turned the couple into "nomads."

"It's been great. I love being married," Brown said. "I will say, we recently just ripped out everything in our home, and going through a home renovation in the first year of marriage is probably not the easiest thing to do together."

The 30-year-old explained that what started as a relatively small renovation quickly snowballed into something much larger.

"I thought we were doing a mini reno, but it just starts to snowball," she said. "Now we're out of our house for seven months."

Brown and Woolard purchased a 120-year-old home in Nashville and hoped to make the historic property feel more like their own. Along the way, they discovered mold and found themselves making countless design decisions, from choosing finishes to selecting materials.

"It's been really fun, but also stressful," Brown admitted. "It's a big investment. It's a lot of time to be away from your home while people are in there, and you're just hoping it all turns out the way that you hope it will."

Despite the challenges, Brown says the experience has ultimately strengthened their relationship.

"We're asking friends, 'Hey, are you going on vacation? Do you need somebody to house-sit? We'll come over,'" she joked. "But then I'm so glad that I'm doing it with him."

The couple's living situation has also impacted their timeline for starting a family. Brown recently opened up about undergoing surgery to correct a rare condition called bicorporeal septate uterus. Basically, she explained, the condition created a "wall" of sorts within her uterus, increasing her risk of miscarriage.

While she and Woolard have begun the family-planning process, Brown says they're not rushing into parenthood just yet.

"People keep asking, 'Have you started trying?'" she said with a laugh. "I want us to be a little settled before then."

Brown added that she's grateful she discovered the condition before trying to conceive and hopes sharing her experience encourages other women to advocate for themselves medically.

"I was very lucky to find that before we started," she said. "I hope more women will advocate to get the proper ultrasounds and imaging so they don't have to go through unnecessary hurt."

As for marriage itself, Brown says she understands why so many people describe it as different from dating, even in a healthy relationship.

"There's just something more connecting about taking that covenant," she explained. "Saying your vows to each other and being tied to each other as husband and wife. There's a little bit more security in that."

Between promoting a new book, navigating a seven-month renovation and thinking ahead to future family plans, Brown has plenty on her plate. But if the past year has taught her anything, it's that the challenges are easier when you have the right person by your side.

Brown's book, Reasons to Be Loved By You, is available for sale now.

Tiger Woods is back in the spotlight and looking better than ever.

The golf icon, 50, who returned from rehab on May 15 following his rollover car crash, took to the podium to introduce PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp before Rolapp’s press conference announcing major changes to the Tour’s competitive structure, Yahoo reported.

Woods Received Permission to Leave the Country for Rehab in April

On April 1, Woods got the permission of a Florida judge to leave the United States to seek treatment following his car accident and arrest for DUI. He was granted permission to leave Florida, according to court documents obtained and reviewed by PEOPLE. According to the documents, the athlete’s physician made the recommendation that he leave the country “based upon the Defendant’s complex clinical presentation, the urgent need for a level of care that cannot safely or effectively be done within the United States.”

The recommendation that Woods seek treatment out of the U.S. was also based on the idea that his “privacy has been repeatedly compromised.”

“Ongoing medical scrutiny and public exposure create significant barriers to his care and would result in setbacks and an inability to fully engage in treatment,” Woods’ lawyer, Douglas Duncan, argued in the filing, the piece continued.

Woods returned from rehab in Switzerland on May 15 and was photographed stepping off his Gulfstream G550 at Palm Beach International Airport in Florida, TMZ.com reported. Wearing gray shorts, a black jacket, and a black hat, the athlete was joined by two pups on the tarmac.

On March 27, Woods was involved in a rollover car crash when his Land Rover rolled over after he “overtook” a pressure-cleaning truck that was pulling a small trailer, Sheriff John M. Budensiek said in a press conference, PEOPLE noted.

Police administered a breathalyzer test on the scene, and Woods “blew triple zeros.” However, he refused to submit to a urinalysis at the jail. According to the police affidavit obtained by PEOPLE, Martin County Sheriff’s Office deputies allegedly found two hydrocodone pills in his left pants pocket.

Some of the most memorable songs have an interesting backstory to match, with Sammy Hagar's "I Can't Drive 55" having a clear inspiration behind it. The hard rock track became a staple in the genre after the Van Halen member had a run-in with police on the highway.

Released as the lead single and first track of his eighth studio album, VOA, in 1984, Hagar had a love for fast cars thanks to his mechanic Claudio Zampoli. He was the one who got Hagar his first new Ferrari and introduced him to Eddie Van Halen. Hagar's love for driving over the speed limit soon led him to get stopped by police for speeding, inspiring the rage-fueled "I Can't Drive 55."

While driving in New York outside Albany, the rocker was driving at 62 mph on the Northway, which had a set 55 mph speed limit. The speed limit was the result of a law that was passed in 1974, the National Maximum Speed Law.

"Two o'clock in the morning, I'm driving a rental car to Albany, from Albany to Lake Placid. Four-lane Highway, not a soul, I'm going about 62 miles an hour exactly. Cop pulls me, a little wet I didn't even know while I was going the speed limit changed. I'm sitting there, I was so burnt, I was just exhausted," he said in an interview with Professor of Rock.

"I just handed my driver's license, hand him the Rent-A-Car stuff. He starts to write it up and the guy said how fast is 62. I said like 'I thought it was 65', you know, and he's going […] 'We give tickets around here for 62!'. You know like ‘Where have you been?’. I went 55, get to my house, wrote the song. Oh man, I mean, four o'clock in the morning. I picked up my guitar. I just wrote that damn song. It came that quick."

"I Can't Drive 55" would become a rock anthem that landed at No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart after its release. It also landed at No. 9 on the Top Rock Tracks. Many fans also see it as a rebellion anthem as Hagar's lyrics protest the US national speed limit after getting pulled over. The rocker even once recalled wanting to meet up with the officer who gave him the ticket.

The track also gained popularity thanks to its music video, which was on heavy rotation during the early start of MTV. It featured Hagar's real Ferrari 512 BBi, which he drives in the opening of the music video before he and the band get jailed for traffic violations. Zampolli also appears as himself, tuning up the car. Reports claim that Hagar ended up burning his clutch during filming, which led to a $5,800 repair.

Hagar's track became a concert staple during his time with Van Halen, and for TV and car commercials. It's even heard during the 1989 film Back to the Future Part II.

Most country music fans know Reba McEntire as one of the genre's biggest stars.

But long before she became a household name, another member of the McEntire family was already chasing success in Nashville.

On June 23, 1953, Pake McEntire was born in Chockie, Oklahoma. The oldest sibling of Reba, 71, and Susie Luchsinger, Pake, 72, carved out his own place in country music history, even if his career never reached the same heights as his famous younger sister's.

Like Reba, Pake grew up in a musical family. The McEntire siblings were raised on an Oklahoma ranch, where music was a regular part of life. Their mother, Jacqueline McEntire, encouraged all of her children to sing, and the family often performed together at local events and rodeos.

While Reba would eventually become one of country music's most successful artists, Pake found his own moment in the spotlight during the 1980s.

His biggest success came in 1986 with the single "Savin' My Love for You." The heartfelt country ballad connected with listeners and climbed all the way to No. 3 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart, becoming the highest-charting hit of his career.

For a time, it appeared Pake might become a major country star in his own right.

Throughout the decade, he released several charting singles and built a loyal following among traditional country fans. Although he never achieved the crossover fame that would make Reba a global superstar, his success demonstrated that musical talent ran deep within the McEntire family.

Today, Reba's accomplishments often overshadow those of her siblings. With dozens of No. 1 hits, multiple Grammy Awards, television success and a career spanning nearly five decades, she has become one of country music's most recognizable figures.

Still, Pake's contributions to the genre remain an important chapter in the McEntire family story.

With access to virtually any piece of information you could ever want or need, it’s easy to “Google” when you have a concerning health symptom. And it’s something that a lot of us do. According to one 2026 poll, 68% of people have turned to a search engine seeking medical information within the last year. 

And AI is becoming increasingly popular as a source for health info—as Gallup reports, 59% of those who use AI are researching conditions before a doctor’s appointment, and 14 million adults skip seeing a provider altogether after using AI. 

Cancer is undoubtedly a popular term to search for when it comes to health concerns. As oncologist Dr. Adeel Khan, MD, MPH, MS, an academic hemoncologist and epidemiologist in Dallas, Texas, says, there are few words scarier in the English language than the big “C” word. As Becker’s Hospital Review shares, cancer is the second-most searched for health-related term, right behind diabetes. 

“As cancer incidence broadly increases over the decades, the lifetime risk of having a cancer diagnosis is roughly 1 in 3 in the United States,” he tells Parade. “And since cancers are so diverse and can have such wide-ranging presentations, some of which are subtle, it’s not a surprise that patients turn to Google or AI, which are convenient, available, and essentially free sources of information.”

Although the internet proves to be powerful when it comes to learning about your health, it can be detrimental when it comes to conditions, like cancer, that require a closer look and a doctor’s diagnosis. 

“The downside to Googling and AI is that, while these are valuable tools for general information and general perspective, relying on them for specific symptoms may be misleading or entirely miss the mark,” Dr. Khan cautions. “These tools are vast and increasingly successful in medicine by processing massive amounts of data; however, the gold standard for now remains a qualified physician to properly assess a patient with modern diagnostics.”

'I'm an Oncologist—This Is the First Symptom I Wish People Would Stop Googling'

Dr. Khan says that the top symptom he wishes people would stop Googling and visit a doctor about is unexplained weight loss, and this does not refer to those people intentionally trying to lose weight through diet, exercise or a GLP-1 drug. 

Instead, Dr. Khan says that this applies to people who are inexplicably dropping pounds—"5-10% of their body weight in six months is a usual clinical benchmark,” he explains. 

Dr. Khan calls this “an insidious issue that warrants a work-up and can have numerous causes.” 

“By some data, patients who met this mark of unintentional weight loss were diagnosed with a cancerous lesion roughly 5% of the time,” he tells Parade.

Other Symptoms You Shouldn’t Google or Ignore

Close the Google tab and make an appointment with your doctor if you’re experiencing these other concerning symptoms, as Dr. Khan details: 

• Painless, hard lumps, whether in the breast or lymph nodes
• Abnormal, new moles or evolution in existing moles
• Unexplained, profound fatigue
• Night sweats (specifically drenching night sweats)
• Bleeding in the stool, urine, phlegm or post-menopausal vaginal bleeding

“I find it perfectly fine and in fact encourage patients to seek information online, but when this delays or even replaces a professional clinical evaluation, I worry,” he says.

Final Word

If you’re on the fence about seeing your doctor and are tempted to rely on Google or AI instead, Dr. Khan emphasizes the importance of thinking again, especially if you’re dealing with unusual symptoms. 

“Importantly, if ever more than one of these symptoms is present simultaneously, please seek an evaluation from a medical professional,” Dr. Khan says. “For instance, a once-healthy patient who begins to experience unexplained weight loss along with painless, hard lymph nodes and profound fatigue would be at high risk of a blood cancer and would require evaluation.”

“I want to see Pedro Pascalon this set," says Hunt, who plays AJ. "I'd love my bestie, Daisy Edgar-Jones, to turn up."

She continued on, sharing her thoughts on dating coworkers, a theme highly suggested by the trailer of Season 1. “Not suitable, but if it happens, just do it consciously.”

On the same topic, Ellis, who plays Bill, had a different response. “If it's meant to be, it's suitable.”

Executive Producer Charlie Grandy said his “big three” of work comedy television shows are Cheers, The Office and 30 Rock. Grandy is well known for his work on Saturday Night Live and The Office, where he originally met Kaling. While Kaling starred in The Office, she was also producing and writing behind the scenes. She and Grandy have done extensive work together over the years on shows such as Velma, The Mindy Project, Champions, and, now, Not Suitable for Work.

In talking with Kaling, she mentioned how The Office has helped her in other projects. “That’s where I was trained to write sitcoms. That’s where I learned joke per page, how to three-dimensionalize characters, how to write longing and poignancy while also having a very funny show.”

On the topic of dream guest stars, Avantika, who plays Abby, noted, “It would be really cool to get Lena Dunham on the show." The Mean Girls star even mentioned that Girls was a huge influence when filming Not Suitable for Work.

When asked about the period of life covered by the show, Kaling shared a thoughtful recollection of her early work experience. 

“I can remember this period of my life from when I graduated from college until I got hired at The Office vividly. It was such an extreme of emotions. It was exciting to move to the city. I arrived feeling very entitled and confident, and just got the s—t kicked out of me and my confidence in terms of finding a job, and yet my friendships with my best friends were kind of what got me through.”

Kaling believes that whether you're facing the struggles of young work-life, relationship drama, or are simply looking for a good laugh, Not Suitable for Work is the fit for you.

“I think what matters most is how you feel inside. Decide that you’re hot and enjoy your life. What other people think of you is none of your business. If you feel good about yourself, no one can take that away from you. Pursue the things that fill you with joy, and surround yourself with loving people,” she told the publication. “Also, I do affirmations. I think they are very powerful. I work on strengthening my inner loving parent muscle, so I can be supportive and loving to myself. One of my affirmations is: ‘This is the best time of my life.’”

"Easily the best blank/basic white tee ever," one shopper raved in a review.

"I've been searching everywhere for a good white tee and nothing compares to these," another shopper added. "The fit is perfect for summer, the material feels high quality and they hold up way better than any other white shirts I've tried.

The praise didn't stop there, either. "The cotton on these always feels great and no matter how many times I wash them, they look amazing," another fan wrote. "I have so many different colors of these and I wear them all the time."

While the shirt does follow men's sizing, it's actually a reliable unisex option, making it a great gift for anyone in the family looking for a straightforward fit that works across a wide range of body types. Even better, it's incredibly easy to style, pairing easily with your favorite pair of denim, straight-leg pants, baggy chinos, dress slacks, shorts, workout gear and more.

Jill Smokler, the founder of Scary Mommy, died on June 22, 2026, at age 48.

According to a tribute published by Scary Mommy, Smokler died after a more than two-year fight with Glioblastoma.

She started Scary Mommy in 2008 with a very simple first post: "Here goes. Day One."

At the time, Smokler was a stay-at-home mom with three young children. What started as a personal blog eventually became one of the most recognizable parenting sites online.

Here are seven things Smokler accomplished during her career.

1. She Started 'Scary Mommy' From Home

Smokler launched Scary Mommy in March 2008.

In a 2017 essay for TIME, she wrote that she was living in a new town with three kids under 4, a large dog and a husband who traveled for work.

She started the blog while her children were napping.

At first, she thought it would just be a place to write about her own family. Then strangers started reading and commenting, and everything changed.

2. She Built a Place for Parents to Be Honest View this post on Instagram

Scary Mommy stood out because Smokler was honest about the harsh truths of parenthood.

She wrote about the kind of days many parents were having, but not always admitting to.

In her TIME essay, Smokler remembered finding other moms online who understood her. They were also struggling, yelling, burning dinner, and wanting a break.

It made parents feel less alone without pretending everything was easy.

3. She Turned a Personal Blog Into a Community

Scary Mommy did not stay a one-woman blog forever.

As the site grew, Smokler added ways for readers to submit their own stories.

According to TIME, she said that change helped turn the site from her personal journal into a community of "imperfect parents."

4. She Sold 'Scary Mommy' to Some Spider Studios View this post on Instagram

Smokler also turned Scary Mommy into a business.

In her TIME essay, she wrote that she sold the company to Some Spider Studios in 2015, seven years after starting it.

After the sale, she stayed on as editor-in-chief and continued overseeing the site's content.

By that point, Scary Mommy had grown far beyond the small blog she started at home.

Smokler wrote that the site had gone from publishing a handful of posts a week to about 20 a day.

5. She Became a Bestselling Author

Smokler also brought the Scary Mommy voice to books.

According to People, she wrote two New York Times bestsellers: Confessions of a Scary Mommy (2012) and Motherhood Comes Naturally (and Other Vicious Lies) (2013).

6. She Took Her Message to National TV

Smokler's work eventually reached audiences beyond the blog and books.

She appeared on programs including Today and Good Morning America.

Those appearances helped introduce more people to Scary Mommy and to the kind of parenting conversations Smokler had been having online for years.

By then, she had become a familiar voice in the parenting space.

7. She Kept Being Honest Until the End

Smokler publicly shared her glioblastoma diagnosis in May 2024.

According to People, she wrote at the time, “Glioblastoma was not on my 2024 bingo card, alas, here we are. Life changes fast, friends."

After her diagnosis, Smokler said that she wanted to spend time with her children, ideally at the beach.

Her family remembered her in a statement shared by Scary Mommy and People, saying she spent her life telling the truth about motherhood and that she was proudest of her three children, Lily, Ben, and Evan.

Smokler founded Scary Mommy because she was honest about motherhood, even as many people still felt pressure to make it look easy.

Many parents recognized themselves in that.

Brandi Glanville is sharing another update on her health after announcing earlier this month that the "parasite" causing her facial disfigurement had returned.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hillsalum, 53, shared the latest on her diagnosis journey on the Thursday, June 18, episode of her Brandi Glanville Unfiltered podcast, revealing that when she went to a dermatologist to have a lump on her jaw examined, the test results returned with a surprise.

"I have a benign tumor in one of my lymph nodes in my face," Glanville explained. "That could be why the fluid is going around my face."

"It came back on the blood test," the reality personality continued, adding that before going to her current dermatologist, "Every doctor that I've shown, they're like, 'It's just scar tissue.' I'm like, 'From what? I haven't had a facelift yet.'"

Lamenting that she can only wear makeup "for like 15 minutes" before having to take it off, Glanville said she was looking forward to being able to put her health problems behind her. "I just want to put a ton of makeup on again, get my hair extensions," she said. "I want to have a glow-up."

Glanville's new diagnosis comes just weeks after the Bravo personality lamented the return of the facial "parasite" she's blamed for many of her health problems.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with me, guys. I thought I was fixed and then it happened again," she said on the June 4 episode of her podcast. "And now it’s sinking in again. If I had answers, I would tell you. I’ve been to a million doctors."

Glanville said that the only treatments that had helped her over the past three years were exposure to sunlight, taking a parasite medication and implementing a "parasite diet."

"I don’t have answers," she went on. "Is there a doctor that specializes in parasites? Because I can’t find one. I’ve been to a thousand dermatologists. So anyway, we don’t know what’s going on but I’m here to get to the bottom of it."

Glanville first started experiencing health issues in July 2023 and has claimed that she can both see and feel a "parasite" moving inside of her face. In February, the model said that doctors ultimately pointed toward a ruptured silicone breast implant as the cause of her health issues.

“I was shocked, because they’re implants that I’ve had for almost 20 years, they looked fine, they felt fine, the mammogram said they were fine, it wasn’t until I had a sonogram," she told TMZ at the time. "I thought, if it's not broke, don't fix it, but I learnt a really, really hard lesson.”

Few artists have ever stepped into country music at an age when most kids are still in middle school and immediately changed the conversation around what a star could sound like, but Tanya Tucker did exactly that.

She recorded “Delta Dawn” at just 13, tackling the song’s mature theme with a voice far beyond her years. It was a moment that instantly set her apart and signaled the arrival of a rare kind of country star.

Her version of the song quickly caught fire, turning her into an overnight sensation in Nashville and far beyond. Before long, Tucker wasn’t just a promising newcomer; she was one of country music’s most talked-about young voices.

Although the song was later popularized by Helen Reddy and Bette Midler, Tucker's version was picked by UDiscover Music as one of the best country songs of the 70s. They wrote, "There was a grit to her voice beyond her years, a bluesy pain that suggested her childhood had been far from idyllic, that leaves you with a quietly eerie feeling."

According to American Songwriter, the Tucker song was composed by songwriters Alex Harvey and Larry Collins. Harvey shared his story about writing the song in the book Chicken Soup for the Soul: Country Music.

“When I was fifteen years old, I was in a band,” Harvey wrote. “We had just won a contest and we were going to be on a TV show in Jackson, Tennessee. My mother said she wanted to go. I told her that I thought she would embarrass me. She drank and sometimes would do things that would make me feel ashamed, so I asked her not to go that night.”

However, he later discovered that his mother had tragically died in a car accident. He was overcome with guilt and channeled his energies into music. Over a decade later, he wrote "Delta Dawn" based on his late mom.

Tucker told CMT, "The first time I heard 'Delta Dawn' was in Billy Sherrill, my first producers' office. It was 1972."

"When the song was finished, I said, 'That's my song.' The credit I give Billy, and I give him all the credit, he listened to me. And I never recorded a song with him that I didn't want to."

"They rushed released it. I didn't have a record deal, I didn't have an album. I only had a deal for three songs."

She concluded, "My relationship with 'Delta Dawn' is ongoing. I never get tired of singing it, and I think that's a real blessing because I've had to sing it a lot. All the stars were lining up, and they lined up perfectly on that day."

More than five decades later, “Delta Dawn” is still the song people point to when they talk about Tanya Tucker’s unforgettable debut. It remains a striking reminder of just how young she was, and just how quickly she proved she belonged in country music.

We’ve all been there: waiting in a fast-food drive-thru craving a comforting, quick meal. We order our favorite go-to item, hand over our money and drive away happy. What you probably don't realize is that the simple order you just placed might have caused a collective sigh of dread from the kitchen crew inside.

When we think of difficult fast-food orders, we usually imagine massive catering orders, hyper-specific customized burgers or complicated secret menu hacks people find on social media. However, the items that fast-food employees actually dislike making the most are often the most unsuspecting, permanent staples on the menu. From classic childhood favorites to seemingly simple cheesy snacks, some fast-food items are secretly notorious for disrupting the entire kitchen workflow.

😋😋SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter🍳🍔

The frustration rarely has to do with how the food tastes. Instead, the pressure mounts when a drive-thru timer is ticking down and a worker has to wrestle with a jammed steamer or frantically roll dozens of identical items while a line of cars wraps around the building. It's a perfect storm of messy assembly lines, tedious ordering questions and equipment that can't keep up with a heavy lunch rush.

Here, we've rounded up the common menu staples fast-food workers dread making, and the results may surprise you.

What Fast-Food Workers Hate That You Order

These are the seven menu items from major chains like McDonald's, Taco Bell and Starbucks that workers secretly hate making—and exactly why they cause such a headache.

1. McDonald's Happy Meal

Emile Wamsteker / Bloomberg via Getty Images

A Happy Meal might be designed for kids, but some McDonald's employees on Reddit say it's one of the orders they least enjoy taking.

The reason has nothing to do with the food itself and more about its assembly. Workers frequently mention that Happy Meals come with a long list of questions: nuggets or a hamburger? Apple slices or fries? What drink? Which sauce? And sometimes, which toy? The process can get even slower when customers wait until they're at the speaker to decide.

The challenge isn't making the meal—it's getting all the answers. A burger or nuggets can be assembled in seconds, but figuring out exactly what goes into each specific Happy Meal can take a lot longer.

2. Taco Bell Cheesy Roll-Up

A tortilla wrapped around melted cheese doesn't sound like the kind of menu item that would make workers groan, but according to Taco Bell employees, the Cheesy Roll-Up can be surprisingly annoying.

Workers say that large orders often require multiple rounds in the steamer because only a few roll-ups fit at a time—and then comes the rolling and wrapping.

A couple of Cheesy Roll-Ups aren't a big deal. The groans start when a family order includes a dozen of them. As one Taco Bell employee put it on Reddit, few things are more memorable than a minivan pulling up for "12 cheesy roll ups for the kids and one burrito supreme for the parent."

3. Subway Meatball Marinara

If there's one Subway sandwich that employees seem to have a love-hate relationship with, it's the Meatball Marinara. On Reddit, workers describe the sub as messy, awkward to wrap, and especially challenging when customers load it up with vegetables and sauces.

The meatballs already take up a lot of room, and things can go sideways fast when the sandwich is made on flatbread or ordered with double meat. And making double-meat meatball subs can quickly make them so soggy they practically fall apart by pickup time.

4. Taco Bell Chicken Quesadilla

The Chicken Quesadilla looks like one of the simpler items on Taco Bell's menu, but employees say otherwise. On Reddit, workers repeatedly called out quesadillas because of the number of steps involved in creating one. Each one has to be filled, steamed, grilled, wrapped and cut before it reaches the customer.

The biggest complaints tend to come during rushes. Several employees said quesadillas can create a bottleneck when multiple orders hit at once, while others noted that they have a habit of sticking to the grill.

5. McDonald's Snack Wraps

McDonald's Snack Wraps may have a devoted fan base, but some former employees aren't nearly as enthusiastic about making them. On Reddit, McDonald's workers say the wraps were a pain because they took more time to assemble, and large orders of three, four or five wraps could quickly slow things down

The complaints aren't really about the ingredients. They were about the extra handling. Burgers can be assembled quickly, but wraps require a little more finesse, especially during a rush. Snack Wraps are delicious—as long as you aren't the one making them.

6. Pizza Hut Stuffed Crust Pizza

Pizza Hut's Stuffed Crust Pizza has plenty of fans, but former employees say it also requires more work than a regular pie.

In online discussions, workers describe stretching dough around cheese and sealing the crust before the toppings are even added. On Reddit, one former Pizza Hut employee said stuffed crust wasn't a problem when business was slow but that it became "torture" during a rush.

The complaints aren't usually about making one pizza. It's when several stuffed crust orders hit the screen at once. Compared to a regular pie, employees say stuffed crust pizza simply comes with a little more prep before it ever reaches the oven.

7. Starbucks Frappuccinos

Ask Starbucks baristas which drink they'd happily make fewer of, and Frappuccinos come up again and again. Across Reddit threads, workers say the frozen drinks can throw off workflow because they involve more steps than a typical latte or cold brew, from blending and pouring to adding whipped cream, drizzles and toppings.

The frustration isn't necessarily with a single Frappuccino. It's when several show up at once, especially during a morning rush or after school. As one barista put it on Reddit, Frappuccinos are "the baristas' bane," while others say the drinks are notorious for slowing down drink production.

How You Order Matters Too

At the end of the day, a messy meatball sub or a tedious Happy Meal isn't the only thing that tests a fast-food worker's patience.

The real headache usually comes down to how we order. Ask any drive-thru veteran, and they will tell you that the absolute worst orders are the hyper-customized TikTok trends and "secret menu" hacks. It forces the kitchen to slow to a crawl just to decipher a laundry list of modifications, completely wrecking their drive-thru times.

The same goes for pulling up to the speaker box during a massive lunch rush and ordering for a family of six without knowing what you want yet. It's not about making the food hard for the sake of it—it's about breaking the rhythm of a crew that is already sprinting against a literal countdown clock. A little preparation and keeping the substitutions to a minimum go a long way.

So, the next time you pull up to the drive-thru speaker box, maybe skip the 20-step customization—your drive-thru crew will definitely thank you.

While New York Knicks fans revel in the thrill of an NBA championship victory, some of the team’s longtime celebrity supporters are being spotlighted thanks to social media videos shared from the team’s victory parade through Manhattan. Famous fans like Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, and Timothée Chalamet are well known for their Knicks fandom, but one '80s icon surprised fans not only with his parade appearance alongside Stranger Things star Matthew Modine, but also with his ageless appearance.

It’s been more than 30 years since actor and singer Leon Robinson, 60, co-starred alongside Madonna in her trailblazing 1989 "Like a Prayer" music video. Robinson became a part of pop culture history after appearing as a saint-like figure in the controversial and iconic video.

Leon Robinson Celebrates Knicks Championship View this post on Instagram

Robinson, a New York native and longtime Knicks fan, joined the team’s celebration through Manhattan on Thursday, riding on a float alongside players like Karl-Anthony Towns, Modine, and other jubilant basketball fans.

Despite the excitement surrounding the Knicks’ NBA championship, Robinson’s youthful appearance had social media followers gushing in the comments. More than 30 years after starring in the "Like a Prayer" video, the actor, singer, and director looks remarkably unchanged.

“Unbelievable, he has literally not aged at all…” shared one commenter. Another added, “Looking fabulous.”

“How do you still look this good, man?” asked another.

From “Like a Prayer” to Hollywood Success

Madonna’s "Like a Prayer" video may have elevated Robinson’s profile, but the actor built a successful career throughout the 1990s and 2000s. His standout performances include Cool Runnings, The Five Heartbeats, Above the Rim, Waiting to Exhale, Cliffhanger, and HBO’s Oz.

In addition to the "Like a Prayer" video, Robinson is perhaps best known for portraying real-life music legends David Ruffin in The Temptations and Little Richard in Little Richard, with the latter performance earning him an Emmy nomination.

Fans Still Quote His Most Memorable Roles @tamronhallshow

The lasting impact of Robinson’s performances remains evident today. Social media commenters turned the discussion into a virtual group chat, reciting memorable lines from his most beloved roles.

“Kicked who out?” quoted one fan, referencing Robinson’s famous line from The Temptations miniseries, a moment improvised by the actor himself.

“Ain’t nobody come to see you, Otis,” quoted another.

What Leon Robinson Is Doing Today

Robinson continues to work steadily in television and film while also maintaining a successful music career. He performs with his reggae band, Leon and the Peoples, and remains a beloved figure among fans of both music and entertainment.

Still, his joyful appearance celebrating a championship more than 50 years in the making may have become one of Leon Robinson’s most memorable moments yet.

After living with a small, unsatisfying fridge for nearly five years, I recently took the plunge and upgraded to a larger (and more aesthetically pleasing) option—and I couldn't be happier. I decided to go with a bottom-freezer fridge to make accessing my day-to-day ingredients a bit easier, and I've been loving this design so far.

However, it's been a while since I've thought much about fridge organization (my last one was so cramped that there wasn't much I really could do by way of bins and the like!). So, in order to ensure that I'll truly make the most out of my new appliance, I tapped a handful of pros and asked them to share their top organization hacks. They certainly delivered, and I can't wait to get my fridge into tip top shape.

1. Cater Your Fridge Organization to Your Lifestyle

While my new fridge has a crisper that's meant for storing fresh produce, I've already found that putting containers or plastic bags of fresh fruit in this drawer has led me to forget what I have on hand before it goes bad. Moving forward, I'll be following two pieces of advice from Michaele Tocco, the founder of Michaele's Precise Planning. Her first suggestion? "Create zones based on how you actually live," Tocco says. "The biggest mistake I see is organizing a fridge based on what looks good instead of how a family functions."

Tocco's next tip is to organize the fridge in a way that reinforces your nutritional goals. "Store washed produce and healthy snacks at eye level where they're easy to grab," she suggests. "The items you see first are often the items you eat first." Noted!

That said, it's also important to be realistic about your lifestyle and eating habits over the course of a given week. "Don't overbuy fresh food," cautions Jean Prominski, the founder of Sparkle Home Organizing. "Be realistic about how much produce and fresh food your household can consume before your next shopping trip."

2. Give Leftovers a Clear Home

Given that I live alone, I usually accumulate a few servings of leftovers every time I cook. That said, it's all too easy for leftovers to be relegated to the back of the fridge, but Tocco offers an easy solution. "Designate a shelf specifically for leftovers and place it at eye level," she says. "This simple system reduces food waste and makes meal planning easier because you can quickly see what needs to be eaten first."

Prominski agrees and notes that she maintains what she refers to as an "'Eat Me First' zone" inside of the fridge, in which she'll store leftovers or food that will expire if not consumed soon.

3. Take Bulk Products out of Their Packaging

I'm guilty of purchasing a box of canned seltzer and placing it directly into the fridge. Again, though, in order to have a clear sense of what's on hand, removing items from their package is the better bet, notes Maria Baer. The founder of The Baer Minimalist recommends removing the packaging encompassing yogurt cups, miniature guacamole containers, soft drinks, and the like so that they're easy to see and access as needed.

4. Don't Stress Over Countless Containers

I've seen so many fridge organizing photos and videos over the years that I would've totally assumed that using plastic containers and the like was the epitome of success according to all experts—but it turns out that's not the case! "One thing I've learned as a professional organizer is that refrigerator organization isn't really about containers—it's about visibility and reducing food waste," Prominski says.

Still, the organizer notes that, of course, clear bins are sometimes beneficial; the key is just to not overuse them. "I recommend keeping the system simple enough that family members will actually maintain it," she explains.

5. Manage the Freezer Like a Pro

Bottom-freezer refrigerators like mine come with their own set of considerations as it pertains to frozen food. Tocco, who is well-versed in these types of setups, offers a few simple hacks that I'll surely be implementing. "Place the foods you reach for most often in the easiest-to-access areas," she says with regard to the freezer.

"If you're constantly moving five bags of frozen peas to get to your breakfast sandwiches, your system isn't working for you." Another tip she offers is to make use of freezer-safe bags as often as possible. "Soups, sauces and prepped meals take up significantly less space when frozen flat in freezer-safe bags," Tocco explains. "Not only does this maximize storage, but it also makes categories easier to maintain."

Prominski offers a few of her own suggestions that are specific to bottom-freezer fridges, explaining that this is where bins do indeed come in handy "so food doesn't disappear into a frozen 'black hole.'" Pairing like with like is key. "Group similar items together (vegetables, proteins, prepared meals, desserts, etc.) and label homemade foods with dates whenever possible," Prominski states.
