Every summer, there's always that one song that you hear everywhere. It becomes the track we blast from car windows; the tune that shows up on every beach playlist; the song that follows us around for three straight months.

Spotify just revealed the songs it believes could dominate Summer 2026, and the list says a lot about where music is heading right now.

Song of the Summer 2026

This year’s predictions lean heavily into country, emotional pop and dance tracks designed for warm weather. Some of the biggest contenders already feel built for repeat listens.

Spotify’s full 2026 Songs of Summer predictions list includes:

• "Talk to You" by ANOTR, 54 Ultra
• "CHÉVERE (premium_remix)" by ARIA VEGA, Ryan Castro
• "hate that I made you love me" by Ariana Grande
• "New Religion" by Bebe Rexha, Faithless
• "Kingdom of Fear" by Cameron Whitcomb
• "Bangaranga" by DARA
• "Raindance (feat. Tems)" by Dave, Tems
• "Freakin' Out" by Dexter and the Moonrocks
• "Babydoll" by Dominic Fike
• "E85" by Don Toliver
• "Kakalika" by DopeNation
• "Janice STFU" by Drake
• "Choosin' Texas" by Ella Langley
• "NOBLE" by F3miii
• "L.U.C.K.Y" by Fcukers
• "Jamaican (Bam Bam)" by HUGEL, SOLTO
• "Mexico Honey" by Kacey Musgraves
• "Earrings" by Malcolm Todd
• "Maladie" by Mauvais djo
• "Doors" by Noah Kahan
• "drop dead" by Olivia Rodrigo
• "KOKO" by Omar Courtz
• "Girl Like Me" by PinkPantheress
• "Free Your Mind" by Prospa, Cloonee
• "Rein Me In" by Sam Fender, Olivia Dean
• "DANCE…' by Slayyyter
• "Boston" by STELLA LEFTY
• "Dracula — JENNIE Remix" by Tame Impala, JENNIE
• "Self Aware" by Temper City
• "Midnight Sun" by Zara Larsson

Zara Larsson's "Midnight Sun" taps into shimmering early-2000s dance-pop energy.

PinkPantheress' "Girl Like Me" continues the recent trend of reviving club sounds that feel both retro and futuristic at the same time.

"New Religion" from Bebe Rexha and Faithless samples one of dance music’s most recognizable eras, giving it instant listenability.

"Jamaican (Bam Bam)" by HUGEL and SOLTO, another nostalgia-heavy track expected to explode this summer.

Country is also having a major moment on this year’s list.

Ella Langley’s "Choosin' Texas," Kacey Musgraves' "Mexico Honey" and Noah Kahan’s "Doors" all fit into Spotify’s "postcard country" category, one that's reflective songs tied to specific places, memories and moods.

Instead of loud summer party anthems, many of these tracks feel quieter and more emotional, the kind of songs made for road trips and sunset playlists.

What's Your Song of the Summer?

Did your favorite summer bop make the list? Do you disagree entirely and have a different song you'll call your "SOTS??" Let us know in the comments!

Spotify is also letting listeners vote inside the app for what they think the official Song of the Summer will be, adding a little friendly competition to the season’s playlist wars.

Rex Smith was on a fast track to stardom as a rock and roller and Broadway star when a starring role in a coming-of-age TV movie in 1979 changed his life overnight.

The television film Sooner or Later catapulted Smith into teen idol status. Debuting in March of that year, it quickly introduced him to a young audience and helped launch his rise to pop stardom.

Sooner or Later had the distinction of not only being an NBC television movie, but was also a long-form music video woven into a love story between Smith's rocker character Michael Skye and Denise Miller's Jessie Walters. The film blended narrative and performance by using musical sequences to deepen the emotional arc between the two characters.

Smith was able to parlay his talents as both a musician and frontman to bring a smoldering sexiness to 17-year-old Michael, who falls in love with Jessie, whom he believes is 16 but in reality is 13. The film’s soundtrack echoed their romance, with the title track “You Take My Breath Away” reinforcing the emotional tension and youthful longing at the story's core.

Smith said in an interview with Arizona Central, "I was being groomed to be a Van Halen, if you will, then Sooner or Later happened. It played on a Sunday, and the next day I was at Bloomingdale's to buy a shirt, and 20 minutes later I was locked in a dressing room with fans outside. In today's world of a thousand channels, that kind of overnight stardom doesn't happen anymore."

Smith told podcaster David A.R. White, "I knew anything that went that hard and fast comes down that hard and fast."

The song reached No. 10 on the Billboard charts and cemented Smith's status in the recording industry. Two years later, he was back on the charts via a No. 32 ranking duet with Rachel Sweet, "Everlasting Love."

After the runaway success of his solo album and Sooner or Later, Smith continued to work in the theater. Following his debut run as Danny Zuko in Grease, the actor appeared in The Pirates of Penzance, Grand Hotel, Sunset Boulevard, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Annie Get Your Gun, and Kiss Me, Kate.

Additionally, per his official website, Smith hosted the TV music countdown series Solid Gold, starred in the series Street Hawk, was the first actor to play the Marvel Comics superhero Daredevil, and acted in the daytime soap opera As The World Turns.

Smith was also seen in the films Once In A Lifetime, Passion To Kill, and Ballerina And The Blues. He guest-starred in the television series Daredevil, The Sentinel, JAG, Baywatch, Caroline In The City, Just Cause, Pope Dreams, and Collier & Co.

Rex Smith continues to perform.

A cloudy forecast isn’t always a bad thing, especially when it means sinking into a couch that shoppers say feels “like sitting on a marshmallow.” Target’s ModernLuxe Chenille 3-Seater Boneless Cloud Couch is currently 44% off, bringing it down to just $391 from $700. It comes in beige, gray, and orange, and the soft, frameless design gives it a very cozy, cloud-like look without floating anywhere near $1,000.

The couch measures 86 inches wide by 38 inches deep by 27.5 inches high, with a 70-inch seat width and a 20-inch seat depth. It’s made with chenille, foam, and cotton, so the design is super soft from the inside out. The biggest perk might be the setup, though. There are no legs, frames, or tools, so it requires no assembly. It arrives folded in a compact box, then expands after you unbox it.

It features a rounded, low-to-the-ground look, but its sale price keeps it well below what many similarly styled sofas cost. The high-density foam offers a cushioned feel, while the pocket springs provide enough support to keep the seat from flattening. It also comes with four pillows, including two lumbar pillows, so it already has a more complete look once it expands.

One shopper said it’s “so comfortable,” adding, “This sofa hugs you. The back cushions are perfect for movie nights.” Another said, “It's like sitting on a marshmallow.” A third said it’s “worth every penny” and “very well made,” while others described it as “very stylish.”

The beige option is the easiest to blend into a neutral living room with wood tables or soft throw blankets, the gray works well if your space already has black accents or darker furniture, and the orange is the bolder choice, which could be a fun way to warm up an apartment. And since the couch is curved and already comes with pillows, styling it requires minimal effort.

Tool, the multi-award-winning band behind the hit song “Sober,” has fans buzzing after announcing exciting news.

Riot Fest 2026, one of the premier music festivals in the U.S., revealed the lineup of bands and artists scheduled to perform at this year’s event.

Scheduled to kick off from Sept. 18 through 20 at Douglass Park in Chicago, the three-day event will feature high-octane sets from over 100 bands.

For the special event, the headlining roster features performances from ‘90s music icon Alanis Morissette, Twenty One Pilots and Pierce the Veil.

In addition, Tool will also be joining the lineup as one of the festival's headliners.

Following the announcement, the band’s official Instagram account shared a post expressing its enthusiasm for Riot Fest 2026.

“We are happy to announce we’ll be playing at @riot_fest in Douglas Park, Chicago, IL. The festival takes place Sept 18th-20th, 2026. Tickets are on sale now! LINK IN BIO,” the caption reads.

The Instagram update sparked buzz among fans who shared their enthusiasm for the band's upcoming festival appearance.

“This is a mix I really enjoy… damn,” one wrote.

“This lineup is beyond sick. But why does this have to take place in Chicago?” a fan said.

“This is a wild lineup,” a follower noted.

“I never thought in a million years I would see Tool playing with Taking Back Sunday,” a commenter remarked.

At the upcoming festival, fans will get to see high-energy concerts from indie trailblazers like The Format, Twin Peaks, Pixies and Bright Eyes, as well as alternative rock veterans such as Morrissey, Sugar, Local H and more.

Adding to the excitement, music legends like Iggy Pop, Patti Smith & Her Band, Elvis Costello & The Imposters, Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd are also set to take the stage at the festival.

Beyond the forthcoming festival, Tool is gearing up for an exciting milestone in the coming years.

Drummer Danny Carey shared in an interview with Spiral Out Network that the band is “working on a lot of new Tool songs now, hopefully [for release in] 2027, that’s the goal”.

The drummer mentioned that performing at the iconic Sphere residencies has been on their radar.

“Yeah, we’re very much into that,” he said, as mentioned by The PRP, adding, “We’re hoping when we release the new record, maybe do a stint at the Sphere, ’cause I think we’re the perfect band for that. We’ve been talking to those guys.”

Tool currently consists of members Carey, guitarist Adam Jones, bassist Justin Chancellor and frontman Maynard James Keenan, who also plays with supergroup A Perfect Circle and the band Puscifer.

RockerBret Michaelsis the latest artist to pull out of the Freedom 250 Great American State Fair. The former Poison frontman joins Young MC, Martina McBride, The Commodores, C+C Music Factory, Morris Day and The Time, and Milli Vanilli.

While many of the performers claim the festival was initially billed as a nonpartisan event celebrating America’s 250th birthday, ties to the Trump administration reportedly led to the recent mass exodus. 

Freedom 250 announced the event lineup earlier this week, posting a lengthy list of legendary and nostalgic performers, including Michaels, McBride, Young MC, The Commodores, C+C Music Factory, Morris Day and The Time, Vanilla Ice, Flo Rida, and Milli Vanilli. As of Friday morning, the only acts that remain are Vanilla Ice and Flo Rida.

Other Freedom 250 performers cited the event's veiled ties to President Donald Trump as the primary reason for leaving the lineup. On Thursday, May 28, Michaels joined his fellow artists in exiting the festival list. 

The musician shared an explanation to his fans on his website, stating, “When the opportunity was originally presented to my team, it was described as a celebration of our country through music and a chance to honor our veterans, active military, first responders, teachers, and hardworking Americans from all walks of life. As the son of a veteran, and coming from a family that has proudly served, that is something I have always been honored to support.”

Michales continued, “As many of you know, I've spent my entire career bringing people together through music, positivity, and good vibes. My shows have never been about politics.” 

Even though he later goes on to note, “This isn’t about politics. It’s about staying true to what I’ve always believed in. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions,” Michaels also adds, “What was presented to us as a celebration of our country has evolved into something much more divisive than what I agreed to be part of.” 

The ‘Every Rose Has Its Thorns’ singer went on to share, “Concerns have also been raised regarding the safety of my fans, band, crew, family, and myself, including threats that are completely unfounded and unforgivable.”

Fans who are disappointed they won’t get a chance to see the rocker on the National Mall aren't in for a total letdown. Before ending his lengthy note, Michaels adds, “I also want my amazing fans in Washington, D.C. to know that I love you all, and I fully intend to come back and perform in our nation’s capital under circumstances where the focus can remain on what it should be - the music and the fans.”

If you've spent any time on YouTube trying to learn about your skin, you're likely to have encountered board-certified medical and cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Sam Ellis's channel. She has a vast library of videos on everything from skin cancer to glowy lip balms, and she's great at explaining both the scientific side and the consumer side of skincare.

I was hooked on her videos before I realized she had her own skincare line, which was popping on TikTok: Prequel. Because of her informative but relatable YouTube videos, I immediately wanted to try the brand and ordered the Redness Reform, a serum recommended by both the National Eczema Association and National Rosacea Society. I have rosacea, and I try basically anything that promises to make my skin less red.

Later, I bought the Retinal Renew Gel and the Vitamin C Serum. And to further put Prequel Skincare to the test, I asked the company to send me some customer favorites, and they gave me the Prequel Half & Half, Sunblock Solar Shade, the Pre-Gleanse Cleanser and the Multi-Quench Mist. Here's what happened when I tried out the products for 30 days.

What Is Prequel Skincare?

The brand was launched in 2023 by Dr. Ellis to make advanced formulations available at a lower-price point, she writes on her website.

"I wanted to create a line of dermatologist-developed, solution-focused products formulated to optimize skin health, be safe for those with chronic skin conditions and provide an elevated user experience," she says.

How I Tested Prequel Skincare

I used the budget-friendly skincare brand daily for a month to see if there was anything I would buy again. I was searching for great formulas for daily use that provided results and felt competitive to higher-priced brands in quality, look and feel.

These are the products I tested:

• Pre-Gleanse Cleansing Oil
• Redness Reform Soothing Serum
• Brightening Vitamin C Serum
• Half & Half Peptides and Ceramides Moisturizer
• Solar Shade Sunscreen
• Retinal Renew
• Multi-Quench Hydration Mist

4 Prequel Products I'd Buy Again1. Redness Reform Soothing Serum, $20

There are a lot of reasons for facial redness, including eczema, rosacea and a compromised skin barrier to name some common culprits. Prequel's Redness Reform aims to quiet redness caused by any and all of these, and I'm happy to say I noticed subtle results within a week.

That's not to say that my skin doesn't still get rosy from my rosacea, but regular use of this serum certainly tones it down. It has soothing oat kernel extract as well as fatty acids to calm the skin. The texture is very light, absorbs quickly and is easy to layer with other products.

2. Half & Half Peptides and Ceramides Moisturizer, $26

Courtesy Sheila Baylis

Shop It on Amazon

If you haven't tried a liquid-y moisturizer, it's time. Inspired by Korean beauty products, this emulsion may be the one on the list I'm most excited about.

You give the very nice-looking bottle a shake and pour out a bit of the milky substance (it does look like half and half) and apply it after cleansing and applying serums, but before a heavier moisturizer and sunscreen.

If you have oily skin, you can use it alone as a moisturizer and still get plenty of hydration.

Courtesy Sheila Baylis

The formula is half peptides and half ceramides and features something called a "lipidic matrix." This structure, derived from olive glycerides, basically helps the ingredients to absorb better.

It feels nourishing, is satisfying to use and is easy to layer with other skincare products. I used it in the morning before a thicker moisturizer and layered it with the retinal at night to help keep my skin from getting irritated.

My skin has felt soft and smooth while using this product daily. Half & Half reminds me a lot of Rhode's Glazing Milk in terms of look, feel and quality, but the Prequel version is larger and less expensive.

3. Solar Shade Sunscreen, $25

This is now my go-to sunscreen, which I will continue to wear every day. It has the feel of a moisturizer but offers broad spectrum SPF 46 protection. It has been developed for all skin tones and it has antioxidants and ingredients meant to soothe and hydrate.

Courtesy Sheila Baylis

It goes on easily and absorbs quickly, and doesn't mess with my moisturizers or makeup. I've been using primarily Korean sunscreens for the last year for their skincare feel, but this one is now leading the pack.

4. Multi-Quench Plumping Hydration Serum, $28

Courtesy Sheila Baylis

Shop It on Amazon

I love a face spray. You can keep it in your car, on your desk or in your purse, and just give yourself a little lift when you feel droopy. It's a psychological boost, and in this case also a physical one, since it contains a super-hydrator called polyglutamic acid (PGA). It's similar to hyaluronic acid (HA), but PGA is a peptide made up of amino acids, while HA is a sugar or polysaccharide.

The Prequel website states PGA is an even better hydrator than HA, and the spray includes 1% pure PGA and 3% of a PGA complex that is supposed to help plump the skin. It also has glycerine to support the skin barrier.

The mist is a nice, fine spray and the bottle is the perfect size for the bathroom shelf or to tote around. I can't say my skin exactly looked plumper to me, but maybe it is on the microscopic level. Either way, I plan on pulling out this face spray plenty during the upcoming hot weather.

Prequel Skincare Review: Final Thoughts

If you feel overwhelmed by all of the options out there, Prequel is a sure bet. It's one of the best skincare brands on the market when you consider quality for cost. It's thoughtfully considered, beautifully packaged, scientifically backed, approved by the National Eczema Association and the National Rosacea Society and founded by a cosmetic dermatologist.

I didn't choose the cleansing oil, vitamin C serum or retinal gel as "must-buys," only because I have found other versions of these products that I like a little better (but they are also more expensive). Those three products are still good and worth trying. I expect to have Prequel products in my bathroom cabinet from now on, and I'm planning to try anything new they launch. 5 stars!

America’s pastime is no longer just hot dogs and Cracker Jacks (though I will never deny a classic ballpark dog). No, today’s food scene at Major League Baseball games around the country is filled with classic bites and over-the-top snacks that fans can’t seem to get enough of. And while nearly every MLB stadium is dishing out something wildly Instagram-worthy, the best over-the-top dishes truly take classic options and turn them on their heads, and often into the deep fryer.

If you’re heading to one of America's or Canada’s iconic baseball stadiums this summer, be sure to go hungry, because there are plenty of things to try. After scouring menus and foodie TikTok, I’ve come up with 10 of the best over-the-top snacks at stadiums from east to west, and north to south. But if your summer plans don’t take you to any of the below stadiums, be on the lookout for some wild and crazy bites at whatever game you have a ticket for.

Deep-Fried Kringle at American Family Field Fans can get deep fried Kringle at Milwaukee Brewers games this year.

Milwaukee Brewers

Wisconsin is known for its cheese, but also for the sweet Kringle pastry that dates back over 100 years. At Milwaukee Brewers baseball games, fans can snack on deep-fried almond kringle, of course, served on a stick and topped with powdered sugar.

Chicken and Churros at Wrigley Field

The Chicago Cubs are a legendary team, and even more legendary are the snacks being served at Wrigley Field. This year, the Chicken and Churros combo is the snack to get. It combines savory fried chicken thighs with warm churros tossed in cinnamon sugar. The whole thing is topped off with a sweet-and-spicy ancho chili syrup and fresh strawberries.

Hawwt Dawwg Biscuits and Gravy at Globe Life Field The South is mashing up two favorites with this baseball snack.

Texas Rangers

Biscuits and gravy are a staple in the South, and now the breakfast plate is heading to the ballpark at the Texas Rangers games. At Globe Life Field, you can order the Hawwt Dawwg Biscuits and Gravy, which starts with a deep-fried Angus beef hot dog that’s nestled on a warm biscuit and smothered in country gravy.

If you’re into big food challenges, then belly up to the bar at Sportsnet Grill inside the Toronto Marriott City Centre (the only hotel inside an MLB Stadium) to take on the 24” Slugger Dog. The epic challenge starts with an all-beef hot dog, topped with bacon, onion jam, Swiss and cheddar cheese, chipotle mayo, and spring onions. And if you can eat the entire thing in less than seven minutes, you get a prize and your picture on the Wall of Fame. I would suggest trying this challenge after the game so that you can sleep it off back at the hotel.

Kramarczuk’s Brat Sampler at Target Field The sharable sausage sampler is a fun snack at Minnesota Twins games.

Minnesota Twins

One of the more shareable options is the Kramarczuk’s Brat Sampler at the Minnesota Twins’ games. The nearly two-foot-long flight of mini sausages is made in partnership with one of Minneapolis’ most iconic sausage makers. You get half a dozen tiny brats nestled into warm buns, some topped with mustard, plus a side of grilled onions and kraut to top the brats as you wish.

The soft serve sundae is served in a 2026 MLB All-Star Game mini helmet. It's loaded down with a funnel-cake-batter-fried strawberry Uncrustable, fresh strawberry sauce, and fruity cereal pieces. Even better, part of the proceeds goes to Schwarber’s Neighborhood Heroes, which supports first responders and military families.

Boomin Onion at Daikin Park The sharable Boomin Onion is an instant crowd pleaser.

Houston Astros

One of my favorite deep-fried guilty pleasures is onion anything, so when I saw the Boomin Onion being sold at Houston Astros games, I knew it had to make the list. And while you can get a plain deep-fried onion served with ranch or boom boom sauce, the real over-the-top choice is the one topped with BBQ Pork. This will feed a crowd and starts with a golden fried Boomin Onion, topped with pork burnt ends, queso blanco, pickled red onions, BBQ sauce, and BBQ aioli. Maybe wear your stretchy pants to the game if you want to get this over-the-top meal. 

Pizza Nachos at Yankee Stadium Take a bite out of the Pizza Nachos at Yankee Stadium.

Pizza and nachos are classic game day foods, but Yankee Stadium is combining them into one dish, dubbed Pizza Nachos.

On May 29, 2026, the ever-stylish Italian-Canadian actor best known for his work in the 1980s crime drama Stingray, Nick Mancuso, turned 78 years old, and fans excitedly celebrated his birthday and his impressive legacy in film and television.

Born Nicodemo Antonio Massimo Mancuso in Italy in 1948, Mancuso moved to Canada with his family when he was a young boy. As he grew up, he took an interest in acting and started with theater roles across Canada. Mancuso debuted on stage in the U.S. in 1979, acting in a couple of projects in Atlanta, Ga., working with acclaimed playwright Tennessee Williams.

This work introduced him to some film producers who cast him in the 1979 horror movieNightwing. At the time, he'd already booked some small roles in television and movies, with his first credited role being a small part in an episode of Police Surgeon in 1974. While the producers hoped Nightwing would be a hit and Mancuso's big break, it unfortunately was a bit of a flop.

But a few years later, Mancuso starred in the 1981 drama film Ticket to Heaven, which earned him great acclaim. The performance led to a prestigious Genie Award, which was given out to honor excellence in Canadian film. They eventually merged with the Gemini Awards to become the Canadian Screen Awards.

Ticket to Heaven's success kick-started what is remembered by fans as a landmark decade for Mancuso, as it also spawned his memorable role in the '80s gritty crime drama Stingray. The show starred Mancuso as a mysterious man named Ray who drove a black 1965 Corvette Sting Ray. He offered his services to help those in need, asking nothing in return.

While the show only had two seasons before it was canceled, it became a major hit, greatly influencing the iconic 1980s TV crime drama genre. After Stingray, Mancuso continued to act and build a thriving career for many decades.

Other iconic roles include 1992's Under Siege and its sequel, Rapid Fire, Vows of Deception, and more. He has continued working up and into 2026, with his most recent project being the 2026 horror filmEnvelop.

Jump scare alert! Jesse Solomon took a break from his “Happy to Be Here” tour to surprise a group of Summer House fans by casually showing up at their front door for hugs — and probably to spill a little tea.

Thanks to his partnership with Ring, Jesse shared footage of himself driving to a fan’s house in Austin, Texas. He noted that the fan had a Ring camera installed outside their front door and joked that he hoped they couldn’t see his pimple on camera.

Mission accomplished: the fans were thrilled to find their favorite Summer House star standing at their front door. After hugs and laughter, Jesse said, “Moments like this are what it’s all about. To connect and have fun.”

Jesse later told Parade the experience was the cherry on top of an already amazing tour.

“I got to surprise a fan with this video music thing while I was on the road, it got captured by a Ring camera, and it has the retinal 4k, and we were able to put that content into a video that was going on Instagram. It was a really heartwarming, fun moment, and I was glad I am able to do stuff like that. I'm just grateful that showing up makes people happy sometimes.”

Jesse also took time between shows to visit children in local hospitals and sing for them.

“I never thought that just my presence would give people joy, and that's been like the coolest thing to come out of this whole experience,” he added. “So, I'm just happy to be here, honestly.”

In addition to the sweet fan surprise, Jesse also used Ring to film the music video for his viral hit “Guess I’ll Start.”

“That was a concept I came up with for a social media video shoot, and it was kind of like a ‘gotcha’ moment of me just like singing on the street, doing my thing, and the Ring camera catches you,” he told Parade, adding that he wanted to “do something fun with this.”

“And so, we sang a little music video to the Ring camera, and there are hilarious memes of me in the Ring camera. My friends like to send it back and forth. It's pretty funny.”

Jesse, who studied music business at the University of Miami, said the tour went well and shared how his mother, Sheryl, ended up joining him on stage.

“My mom is the singer in the family. She was a singer-songwriter, and she would perform throughout her life a bit, and I think she's gotten away from it, too,” he shared.

As a gift to his mom, Jesse paid for Sheryl’s vocal lessons so she could get back into singing.

“I thought she would do like a half hour with my voice teacher, and she did like two and a half hours with my voice teacher,” he laughed. “And was like, ‘Hey, here's the invoice.’ I was like, OK, whatever it takes to sing with mom, no big deal, happy Mother's Day.”

The moment became even more special because Jesse’s grandmother attended the performance and got to see her daughter and grandson perform together on stage—except Jesse had one big concern.

“There were like three flights of stairs at the venue with no elevator,” Jesse recalled, sharing that climbing the stairs posed a challenge for his grandmother.

Nevertheless, “she made it up the stairs on her own two feet. It was pretty awesome. I mean, to see your grandson and your daughter sing together must have been awesome for her.”

The Summer House reunion continues with part two on Tuesday, June 2, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.

Bros made history when it came out as one of the first gay romantic comedies to be released by a major studio with an entirely LGBTQ principal cast. And while it's a super sweet love story between two men, played by Billy Eichner and Luke Macfarlane, it also happens to be a fairly raunchy R-rated comedy. Between threesomes and awkward Grindr hookups, it certainly gives viewers a peek into the sex lives of many gay men. And it's a very steamy peek.

One of the greatest comedy duos of the modern era is Martin Short and Steve Martin. And over 30 years ago, they teamed up in a pair of films about a man struggling to accept that his daughter has grown up in Father of the Bride. 

Martin plays the titular dad who plans his daughter’s wedding with the help of his wife (played by Diane Keaton) and a zany wedding planner named Franck (Short), not to be confused with Frank. The sequel, in which mother and daughter are both pregnant, is just as good. The Vatsnik, however, has created a deeply rooted fear of sleeping meds that we can’t shake.

In The Breadwinner—the new family comedy hitting theaters this Friday, May 29—Mandy Moore and Nate Bargatzeplay Katie and Nate Wilcox, a married couple raising three young daughters. But when Katie lands a once-in-a-lifetime deal on Shark Tank that sends her off on an international business trip, Nate suddenly finds himself flying solo as he adjusts from car salesman and breadwinner to stay-at-home dad. Naturally, chaos and hilarity ensue.

Gracie (Stella Grace Fitzgerald), Hadley (Birdie Borria) and Sam (Charlotte Ann Tucker) play their onscreen children, and Moore and Bargatze are parents in real life, too. So when we sat down for an interview with the pair, we had to ask for their hot takes on hot topics in the parenting space. From smartphones to social media, read on for our exclusive interview. Plus, watch the official trailer for The Breadwinner—in theaters Friday, May 29.

First, we had to ask the age-old question every Millennial parent dreads: How old should a kid be before getting their first phone? Moore did not hesitate: "Never!"

Bargatze—who has a 13-year-old daughter—laughed and offered a more realistic answer. "I think our daughter was 13," he told Parade. "She has no social media, none of that stuff. We're getting pounded about that—she wants us to give it to her. We're not going to. It's not at least till 16, and then we can see."

But Bargatze's real hot take wasn't about the age—it was about the fact that parents need to stop going it alone.

"Phones are tough," he added. "Parents need to align, and we all need to agree on an age of all this. 'Cause it's like someone gives a six-year-old a phone, and then you just start getting crushed."

In the meantime, Bargatze dropped a brilliant workaround that any parent of a tween should steal immediately. "We did Apple Watch at first, which is another little trick where you could do like cellular Apple Watch," he explained. "And then they don't have a ton of access to apps or anything." Moore finished his thought, adding, "You're able to get in touch with them!"

Then our conversation turned to fashion, specifically whether kids should be allowed to pick their own outfits. Bargatze had a layered answer that any parent of a tween or teen will appreciate. "Yeah, I think so," he said. "I mean, to a certain age. When my daughter was little, I loved when she wore just complete chaos."

"Yeah of course!" added Mandy.

But for Bargatze, the teen years are a different story. "She's now 13," he said of his daughter. "I would like some heads up of what's going on," Bargatze said, recalling a recent debate over a swimsuit. "I'd rather [she] wear a blanket, but you know, she's got to get in the pool."

The dad-of-a-teen energy is real—and so is the love. Catch Moore and Bargatze bringing that same chemistry to the big screen when The Breadwinner hits theaters Friday, May 29.

Imagine AC/DC listening to one of their own songs and saying: "That's too poppy for us."

It actually sounds like a joke because when has AC/DC ever been considered pop? It wasn't and it never has been.

In 1979, while finishing what would become one of the greatest rock albums of all time AC/DC almost cut a track called "Touch Too Much." They didn't like it. It felt out of character for the album — too slow, too easy on the ears, too different from everything else they stood for. They wanted it gone from the album.

Their producer had other ideas.

The Song That Almost Didn't Make It

Mutt Lange was a very unusual choice for AC/DC. The man had built his name working with Foreigner — a polished, radio-friendly sound that had nothing to do with what AC/DC was about. The band wasn't interested in being polished. They were a live band first, a recording band second. That special something that made them AC/DC wasn’t something that could be manufactured in a studio.

But Lange wasn't trying to change them or what they were about. He just wanted to make them sound like the best possible version of themselves.

What he didn't expect was having to fight to keep a song on the record.

"Touch Too Much" sat differently from everything else on Highway to Hell. The rest of the album came at you intensely hard and fast. This one slowed down, leaned back, let itself breathe. It was bluesy and mid-tempo — closer to the band's early sound than anything else on the record. And that made AC/DC uncomfortable.

‘Too poppy’, they said. Cut it.

Lange begged them to keep it.

In the end, he was right.

Joe Elliott, the frontman of Def Leppard and someone who studied AC/DC the way young musicians study the bands that shape them, had no reservations about the song.

"It's funny because as Mutt said to me later, AC/DC couldn't stand 'Touch Too Much,'" Elliott said. "They thought it was too poppy, but I thought it was the best song on the album."

The best song. On Highway to Hell.

What the Band Couldn't See

Looking back now, "Touch Too Much" was telling the world something the band wasn't ready to hear.

The Bon Scott era ran on chaos and personality. Scott was one of a kind — a frontman who made every single song feel like a chaotic party that might get out of hand at any moment. "Touch Too Much" had all of that, but there was something underneath it. A hint of a melody. A little more structure. A song that could work just as well on the radio as it did at full volume.

Just one album later, after Scott's death, AC/DC released "You Shook Me All Night Long" — a song built almost completely around the kind of hooks they'd just refused to embrace.

"Touch Too Much" was the quiet beginning of that shift, even if nobody recognised or wanted it at the time.

That's exactly what makes this story worth telling. A band at the top of their game nearly erased the evidence that they were growing. Mutt Lange knew it. Joe Elliott heard it.

AC/DC just needed a little convincing.

For someone who has won more Emmy Awards than almost any actor in television history, Julia Louis-Dreyfus has managed to leave one significant stage unclaimed. That changes this fall.

The Seinfeldand Veepstar announced on Tuesday that she will make her Broadway debut in the first revival of Jon Robin Baitz's Tony Award-winning family drama Other Desert Cities, opening October 18 at the Hudson Theatre. It marks the first time Louis-Dreyfus has appeared on a Broadway stage in a career stretching back to her Saturday Night Live debut in 1982.

The cast assembled around her sounds like an awards-season wish list. Ed Harris, Allison Janney, Lily Rabe, and Joe Keery (known to millions as Steve Harrington on Stranger Things) round out the production. Both Louis-Dreyfus and Keery will be making their Broadway debuts in the same show. Tony Award winner John Benjamin Hickey will direct. Previews begin September 29, with the limited engagement running through January 17, 2027.

Other Desert Cities is set on Christmas Eve in Palm Springs, where a politically connected family is upended when their daughter arrives home with plans to publish a memoir exposing a decades-old family secret. Louis-Dreyfus plays Polly, the family's matriarch, a role built for an actress who spent years perfecting the art of holding a scene together while everything around her unravels.

Louis-Dreyfus has won 11 Emmy Awards across three separate comedy series, a record that remains unmatched in the Academy's history. Her run as Selina Meyer on Veep earned her six consecutive wins alone. Since Veep ended in 2019, she has stayed largely away from television, returning only for smaller projects while developing an Apple TV+ series and producing the animated filmThe Sheep Detectives.

The play has the kind of heritage that attracts a certain caliber of performer. It was a Pulitzer Prize finalist when it first ran on Broadway in 2011, and critics praised it for the precision with which it mapped American family dysfunction against larger political divisions, subject matter that sits differently in 2026 than it did fifteen years ago.

For fans of Seinfeld and Veep, the announcement carries its own specific attraction. Louis-Dreyfus has spent decades playing characters perpetually, brilliantly navigating chaos of their own making. Watching her do that live (eight shows a week, no safety net of editing or retakes) is something genuinely new.

American Express pre-sale tickets open May 27. General on-sale begins June 3.

What’s this, what’s this? It’s Danny Elfman’s birthday! The iconic composer, singer, songwriter, and movie music legend turns 73 today. So, of course, a closer look at his unlikely musical journey -- and a deeper dive into that incredible 2022Coachella performance -- feels only fitting.

Long before his scores defined modern film and television, Elfman’s musical journey began in a far more unexpected place: a musical troupe in Paris.

According to IMDb, the initial goal of the Mystic Knights of Oingo Boingo was to score his brother's directorial debut, Forbidden Zone (1980). In 1979, they abbreviated their name to just Oingo Boingo and gave their new-wave band the old college try, producing a couple of fun bangers: “Weird Science,” which was used in the same-name cult John Hughes classic, and “Dead Man’s Party.”

In 1995, following a massive, five-show farewell concert that culminated with a Halloween blowout at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, the group called it quits. And then, Hollywood came calling.

A fan of Oingo Boingo, master of the macabre Tim Burton formed a friendship with the musician. In 1985, he asked Elfman to score the soundtrack for his wacky adventure flick Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, marking the beginning of what would become an iconic director-composer relationship. 

A whiz at blending dark, whimsical, and Gothic themes perfectly suited to Burton’s visionary style, Elfman has scored almost all of the auteur's films, from the Batman, Beetlejuice, and Edward Scissorhands, to The Nightmare Before Christmas, Sleepy Hollow, and Big Fish. Their most recent collaboration was Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the long-awaited sequel to Burton’s bio-exercism classic.  

Outside Burton’s orbit, Elfman has worked with the biggest of big in Hollywood, including Sam Raimi, Peter Jackson, Gus Van Sant, Ang Lee, Guillermo del Toro, and David O. Russell, His talent knows no bounds, as his original scores transcend genres; he even scored the Fifty Shades trilogy. The film projects have led to four Oscar nominations, for Milk, Big Fish, Men in Black, and Good Will Hunting. 

On the small screen, his credits include Wednesday, The Simpsons, and the forthcoming Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, the highly anticipated spinoff from The Big Bang Theory. These projects have netted him several Emmy Awards, the most recent courtesy of the creepy-cute, cello-driven theme song for Netflix’s Wednesday.

Besides scoring some of the greatest entertainment any-size screen has to offer, Elfman still performs, taking to the stage in 2022 for Coachella and rocking a seriously impressive buff physique at 69 (according to GQ, the man is also a "gym rat"). Most recently, Elfman performed at Sick New World, a massive, one-day heavy metal and alternative music festival.

When people think about the biggest names in country music history, Johnny Cash is usually near the top of the list.

"The Man in Black" became one of the most recognizable voices in American music thanks to classics like "Ring of Fire," "Folsom Prison Blues," "I Walk the Line" and "Man in Black." His influence stretched far beyond country music, inspiring generations of artists across rock, folk and Americana.

But despite decades of massive success and cultural influence, there’s one chart milestone Cash never achieved.

He never scored a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

That fact surprises plenty of music fans, especially considering how deeply Cash’s songs became woven into American culture over the years. While artists like Elvis Presley and The Beatles dominated the Hot 100 during the same era, Cash’s biggest songs never quite reached the chart’s top spot.

The Billboard Hot 100, which launched in 1958, measures the most popular songs across all genres in the United States.

Cash did appear on the chart multiple times throughout his career, but his songs generally found stronger success on country-specific rankings instead of the all-genre Hot 100.

That’s where his dominance really showed.

Over the course of his career, Cash earned 10 No. 1 songs on Billboard’s country charts, along with dozens of additional Top 10 hits.

His live albums also became legendary commercial successes. At San Quentin reached No. 1 on the Billboard album chart in 1969, while American V: A Hundred Highways posthumously topped the Billboard 200 in 2006.

In many ways, Cash’s career highlights how chart success doesn’t always define musical legacy.

Even without a Hot 100 No. 1 single, Cash became one of the most influential artists in music history. His catalog continued finding new audiences decades after its original release through films, television, streaming playlists and younger artists who cited him as a major inspiration.

Danny Bonaduce opened up about The Partridge Family and shared updates on his former co-stars more than 50 years after the show ended its four-season run.

The actor, who played Danny Partridge on the musical ABCsitcom from 1970 to 1974, appeared on the Pop Culture Retro podcast on May 28 and was asked if he had kept in touch with his TV mom, Shirley Jones.

“I see her rarely, but I'd still be probably, but she's 92 right now, and you know, she still looks good, but I haven't spoken to her in a while,” Bonaduce, 66, shared. “I spoke to her son. I talked to Shaun Cassidy relatively often, and apparently, she's doing just great, but she's fully retired.”

Bonaduce also spoke about Susan Dey, the actress who played his sister Laurie Partridge on the ‘70s sitcom before moving on to a starring role on L.A. Law in the 1980s. When asked if it was true that Dey wanted nothing to do with The Partridge Family, Bonaduce confirmed that it was the case.

“But I don't think it's like it was,” he clarified. “I thought it was like a real bad thing of bad memories. It's just not her thing. She just doesn't want to be famous. She wants nothing…she has a normal job in upstate New York. But I always thought. ‘You want nothing to do with it? Why? It was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. Why?’ But it's just not her thing. Like, I really liked being famous.”

Bonaduce noted he wasn’t “exactly sure” what Dey did for work after leaving the entertainment industry decades ago. “A regular job with an office, but I don’t know if she still does it. She's got to be 73 or four,” he added.

Dey seemingly cut ties with her Partridge Family past sometime in the 1990s. In 2000, series star David Cassidy told The Deseret News he hadn’t spoken to Dey in nearly a decade and actually wrote her a letter to clear the air.

"I never heard a response, and I don't know why. Neither has Shirley, neither has Danny, neither has any of them," he said at the time. “I really feel badly that Susan Dey, for whatever her own personal reasons, can't embrace the fact that she was 16, 17 years old, and millions of people loved her for that. You don't have to prove that you're so serious. We know you're serious. In life, be thankful.”

Cassidy died in 2017 at age 67, two years after your youngest Partridge Family cast member Suzanne Crough (Tracy on the series) passed away at age 52.

In the new interview, Bonaduce also shared an update on Ricky Segall, the young actor and singer who appeared on The Partridge Family during the show’s final season and was compared to Cousin Oliver (Robbie Rist) on The Brady Bunch.

“So, he was fine,” Bonaduce said of the child actor. “He was the cute kid. We all knew it was the cousin Oliver thing, everybody, you know.”

Bonaduce revealed that Cassidy, the teen heartthrob and main star of the show, took issue with the addition of the musical moppet when producers added him to the cast.

“If you look when [Ricky] sings, I actually play guitar. David does not,” Bonaduce noted. “David just would not accompany the kid. I guess you know when you're a big star, and you've sold a million records, you don't have to play for the six-year-old. So I play the guitar for Ricky Segall. Nice guy. I think he ended up a minister. I'm not positive, but I think he ended up actually a minister for a time.”
