Stock Up While You Still Can

"That's a great deal," one person shared in response to the post, enthusiastically adding: "It's THE BEST ONE." Other fans were quick to agree, with comments like "yummy" and "brb going this weekend" also pouring in.

Gaucho pants, babydoll tops, ponchos, and plenty of other fashion staples from the early 2000s have found their way back into the style conversation, and now jelly shoes are ready for their turn. The Willtoo Mary Jane Glitter Jelly Shoes look like something you could have spotted in a mall circa 2003, but Walmart currently has them for as low as $5, down from $17. The best deal is on the yellow version, though they also come in navy, red, and white, with sizes ranging from 5.5 to 8.5.

The shoes feature a transparent, soft plastic upper infused with subtle glitter and a hollow grid pattern that gives them an unmistakable jelly look while allowing more air to move through the shoe. They have a classic single Mary Jane strap across the foot, plus a rounded closed toe. The sole is soft, flexible, and lightweight with an anti-slip texture on the bottom for extra grip.

At just $5, these are an especially low-commitment way to play around with a throwback trend. You could wear them for the rest of summer without worrying about whether they’ll become an everyday shoe, and they’re inexpensive enough to save for next year if you end up loving the look. And since they’re made from flexible soft plastic rather than fabric or suede, they’re great for warm-weather plans where you might not want to wear one of your nicer pairs of shoes.

One reviewer who said they were “pleasantly surprised” by the shoes wrote that “these are perfect” for wearing poolside or to the beach and also called them “very pretty.” Another shopper described them as “so cute,” while another shared that they were “light and comfortable.”

You could try them with gaucho pants and a fitted tank for a very Y2K look, or pair them with a denim miniskirt, baby tee, and shoulder bag. They’d also be fun with a babydoll top and jeans when you want a hint of nostalgia without recreating an entire early-2000s outfit, or even a simple sundress would work with the glittery jelly texture.

A $5 pair of shoes doesn’t have to become your new everyday favorite to be worth picking up. These would be fun to keep by the door for beach days, quick errands, or anything else that calls for an easy pair you don’t have to think too much about. Be sure to grab the Willtoo Mary Jane Glitter Jelly Shoes at Walmart while they’re still marked down this low.

Vanderpump Rules alum Scheana Shay revealed that her beloved cat, Penny Lane, has died at the age of 17.

Shay took to Instagram on August 12 to share the news with her fans. The post included pictures of the green-eyed cat throughout her lifetime, including a moment where she appeared on Vanderpump Rules.

"Two nights ago we had to say goodbye to my first baby Penny Lane at home in her favorite spot— in front of the fireplace. 🐾 17 years with my sweet girl and it still wasn’t enough," wrote Shay in the post's caption. "I’ve experienced a lot of loss in my life, but this has been a unique kind of pain—one I’ve never known before."

Shay went on to say that "Penny Lane has been the constant through so many seasons of [her] life."

"From a tiny apartment in Hollywood, to the Vegas Strip, then the Marina, the desert, the beach in San Diego, and finally the Valley here in Los Angeles…she was there for all of it. The things she has seen…. people would pay good money for 😹," continued the Bravo personality. "She was with me through my single days, my married days, my divorced-and-desperate era, through miscarriage, motherhood, and everything in between. No matter what life looked like, I was never truly alone, because I always had her by my side."

Shay, who shares a five-year-old daughter, Summer Moon, with her husband Brock Davies, also stated that Penny Lane "made [her] the cat lady [she is] today."

"[E]ven tho I still have 4 cats in my house, I feel a hole in my heart and house. I miss her nighttime meows, her wet little nose nudging me and her constantly wanting to make an appearance in every cameo video I do at home," wrote Shay, who starred on Vanderpump Rules from its first season to its 11th, which ended in 2024.

Bravo Stars Shared Words of Support for Scheana Shay on Instagram

Several Bravo stars took to the post's comments section to give their condolences to Shay. For instance, The Valley's Zack Wickhamwrote, "I am so sorry scheana. I loved penny and she was amazing cat and you were an amazing cat mother ❤️ love you!"

Meanwhile, Shay's Vanderpump Rules castmate, Ally Lewber, chose to commemorate the time she had spent with Penny Lane.

"The sweetest girl. 💔 Thank you for all the memories and cuddles, Penny lane. 🤍 I’ll always picture you cozy by your fireplace. You were so so loved & always will be. ❤️," wrote Lewber.

In addition, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Sutton Strackecommented, "Nooooooo😿😽💕." Shahs of Sunset star Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghialso wrote, "Im so sorry baby girl. I lost my kitty Romeo when he was 17 as well and there truly was never enough time with them. Lots of love."

It wasn’t that long ago that we learned Seinfeld would be one of the shows quietly leaving Netflix. That has all changed, as the streaming giant has struck a new deal.

A new licensing deal was always on the table. After Netflix lost Gilmore Girls, it wasn’t surprising to see it put focus on keeping other licensed content. The latest deal is for Seinfeld, and it will keep the show on the streamer until the next decade.

Netflix Makes a New Deal with Sony Pictures Television

The latest deal is going to be a massive reprieve for those worried about losing “The Show About Nothing” in October 2026. The original deal, which started in 2021, was only for five years. Well, Netflix and Sony Pictures Television have come to an agreement for another five years, which will take everyone until 2031!

It’s not entirely clear how much the global streaming giant has paid for this deal. The initial one was for $500 million, which matches the recent deal for the entire Walking Dead universe. However, various reports share that this latest deal is a little less than that, and that’s possibly because it is no longer an exclusive agreement.

While Netflix will keep Seinfeld on its platform — globally! — it will not be exclusive. Sony Pictures Television can create other non-exclusive agreements around the world.

Why Spend So Much on a Non-Orignal?

While Netflix continues to operate with its own original content, the licensing of other shows has always been part of the business model. In recent years, there’s been a bigger push in getting third-party content, with the likes of the AMC deals, the Sony movies agreement, and the NBCUniversal agreement.

It’s cheaper for Netflix to license content rather than make its own, so it makes sense financially to put more money into a successful show. Seinfeld remains one of the biggest draws for Netflix users, with 1.86 billion viewed minutes between 2023 and 2026 alone. That is far more than many of the original content the streamer develops.

This isn’t the first time Netflix has pushed to keep popular third-party content. At one point, it spent $1 million to keep Friends, and as mentioned, it’s just spent $500 million for the entire Walking Dead universe. It’s likely that it tried to keep Gilmore Girls, but that there was a better deal for Warner Bros. to take from Amazon. Whatever the reason, at least “The Show About Nothing” will remain on Netflix globally until 2031.

Neil Perry, one-third of the Grammy-winning trio of siblings known as The Band Perry, just dropped a bomb. More than two years after he departed from the band, Neil took to social media to pull back the curtain on the family drama he says led to his exit and set the record straight.

Taking to Instagram, the backup singer and mandolinist says that he was “terminated” from The Band Perry in June 2024, following a dispute over his sister, Kimberly Perry, wanting to spruce up the lineup with her husband, Johnny Costello.

“June 2024 took something from me,” he writes in the caption of a carousel post that opens with a scene from Succession that sets the stage for his account of the family’s unraveling. “Something I had spent my entire life building. A band. A business. A family. A name. My sister wanted her husband to become a member of the band, taking my brother’s place. I made it equally clear that I was not okay with that.”

The caption continues, explaining that Neil had witnessed “instability and broken trust” that fundamentally changed his ability to move forward as part of the band.

“Weeks later, I was terminated. The day after my birthday,” he writes. “I never expected that my decision not to participate under those circumstances would also mean losing my financial interest and access to the band’s platforms, resources, and audience I had spent my life helping build.”

Following his departure, Neil founded WOLVESofJUNE, his solo musical project whose title references the upheaval and transition that marked the end of his career with his siblings.

“I watched a story emerge that didn’t resemble the one I lived,” he writes to end the caption. “The anger became music.
The grief became songs.
The loss became freedom. June 2024 took the old life. @wolvesofjune is what came next. #thebandperry”

That post is actually one of just three on Neil’s Instagram page. The two others offer more of his perspective on his departure. One is a carousel of text further explaining his side of the story, and the other is a cheeky reel showing him take a seat in front of the camera, looking almost like he’s about to deliver his testimony in a prestige documentary about a family empire gone wrong.

First formed in Greeneville, Tennessee, in 2005, The Band Perry was a force in country music. Made up of lead singer Kimberly Perry, backup vocalist and bassist Reid Perry, and, of course, Neil, the country/pop trio rose to fame with multi-platinum crossover hits and won major Grammy and CMA Awards before reinventing their sound in the mid-2010s.

According to MusicRow, the siblings were discovered by Garth Brooks’ longtime manager, Bob Doyle, and later signed with Republic Nashville in August 2009. In 2010, they released their self-titled debut album, fueled by their mega-hit, “If I Die Young,” which topped the country chart, and “All Your Life,” which went on to become their second No. 1 country single.

Their follow-up, Pioneer, arrived in 2013. Debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, it produced two chart-topping country hits: "Better Dig Two" and “Done.” Two years later, the trio won a Grammy for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for their cover of Glen Campbell’s “Gentle on My Mind,” which is featured in the documentary Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me.

Around that time, however, The Band Perry went in another direction entirely. Parting ways with major labels, they shifted their sound to more pop and alternative tones, focusing on independent projects, like their 2018 EP, Coordinates.

The shift was followed by a “creative break,” with Kimberly, Reid, and Neil all announcing they would be pursuing individual projects, perUs Weekly. When the group returned in 2025, however, Neil was no longer with the lineup; Kimberly’s husband had replaced him.

As for Reid, he remained with the band for several months before announcing in October 2025 that he was leaving to pursue a career in artist management, per People. That left Kimberly as the band's only original member.

Now, 21 years after forming, Neil is speaking out about his account of what happened behind the scenes. But as the picture becomes clearer, the drama is getting messier.

Summer entertaining calls for tableware that can do more than just look pretty. While a beautiful tablescape can set the mood for a backyard gathering, your serving pieces also need to hold up to BBQs, poolside parties, picnics, and casual get-togethers. Ideally, they're durable, easy to clean, and versatile enough to handle everything from dips and snacks to desserts and small bites.

The Lehaha Strawberry Melamine Serving Platter Set checks all those boxes, and it's also one of the cutest options we've found for summer hosting. Right now, it's on sale for 50% off at Amazon, bringing the price down from $40 to just $20. That's a pretty great deal for a six-piece set you can use both indoors and outdoors.

The set includes three serving trays and three dip bowls. Each tray measures 15 inches long by 6 inches wide by 1 inch tall, while each bowl measures 4.8 inches in diameter and 2 inches tall. Together, they give you plenty of room to create an easy appetizer spread without taking up too much storage space.

Made from BPA-free, food-grade melamine, the pieces are lightweight, sturdy, and easy to clean. The nonporous surface helps prevent stains and odors from sticking, while the dishwasher-safe design makes cleanup simple after entertaining. Just keep in mind that the pieces aren't microwave safe and should be placed on the top rack of the dishwasher.

The strawberry-inspired design is what really gives the set its summer charm. The pieces feature cheerful strawberries, blueberries, and lush green vines framed by a green border, creating a colorful farmhouse-inspired look. The playful pattern works especially well with summer decor, and the bright colors can make even a simple spread feel more inviting.

The three trays and bowls can be used in plenty of ways. Fill the bowls with salsa, guacamole, ranch dressing, olives, or other condiments, while the trays can hold sandwiches, charcuterie, fries, nuts, candy, or other small bites. You can also use them as condiment trays for ketchup and mustard or appetizer platters when you're hosting, making this a set you'll reach for long after summer ends.

One shopper described the set as a “must-buy,” writing, “It has an excellent design and I love that it’s melamine! They’re made from a sturdy, good-quality material.” Another said they’re a “great size” and “can be used for a variety of foods,” adding, “The colors are bright and make the platters stand out."

It's a remarkable achievement when a coming-of-age novel captures a moment in life so vividly that it continues to resonate for generations.

Yet that is what Richard Price managed to accomplish with The Wanderers, his acclaimed 1974 debut novel. More than 50 years after it first reached readers, the book continues to receive praise, most recently earning a place on Collider's list of the best coming-of-age books of all time.

Set in the Bronx during the early 1960s, The Wanderers follows a teenage street gang as its members navigate friendship, identity, romance, and the uncertainty of adulthood.

At the center of the story is Richie Gennaro and the rest of the Wanderers, whose tight-knit group begins to splinter as graduation, changing neighborhoods, and shifting social expectations force them to confront an uncertain future. While the novel is filled with street fights and gang rivalries, its emotional core lies in the universal experience of growing up and leaving childhood behind.

"1962 is pre-Vietnam, pre-drugs, pre-Reaganomics, pre-total racial polarization," Price told Book Critics. "It was a much more naïve time. When I was growing up, the projects were still functional. They were there because they were trying to give working-class people decent, affordable housing so they could concentrate on getting their family up to the next generation. When I was growing up it was never more than working class—a little rough-and-tumble, but nothing more than a punch in the nose."

View this post on Instagram

The book established Price as one of America's most distinctive literary voices.

Drawing on his own experiences growing up in New York City, Price infused the novel with authentic dialogue, memorable characters, and a keen eye for the everyday struggles of working-class life.

"Maybe one reason The Wanderers got the attention it did was that nobody coming from my background with such an intimate knowledge of white housing-project life was writing about it," Price told The Paris Review. "The smartest minds of my generation in the projects became doctors, lawyers, engineers, businessmen; they went the route that would fulfill the economic mandate."

Price's vivid storytelling earned widespread critical acclaim and launched a career that would later include acclaimed novels such as Clockers, Lush Life, and The Whites.

The novel's influence quickly extended beyond the page.

In 1979, The Wanderers was adapted into a feature film directed by Philip Kaufman, introducing Price's story to an even wider audience. Over the years, both the novel and the film have developed devoted followings, with many readers and critics praising their honest portrayal of adolescence and the transition into adulthood.

That enduring appeal is reflected in its latest recognition by Collider.

More than five decades after its publication, the novel continues to connect with readers through its timeless themes of friendship, change, and the search for identity.

Fifty-two years after its debut, The Wanderers remains one of Richard Price's defining achievements. What began as the author's first novel has become a coming-of-age classic whose influence continues to be felt by new generations of readers.

And Just Like That wasn't shy about filming more risque scenes for their characters, and that included Rosie O'Donnell, who appeared as a guest and was "horrified" filming a sex scene with Cynthia Nixon.

The comedian and actor appeared on Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast, where the Baby Mama star brought up her "intimate scene" on And Just Like That. O'Donnell appeared in the Sex and the City spinoff as a Wicked fanatic nun named Sister Mary during Season 3 in the episode titled "Outlook Good."

Her character is visiting New York from Winnipeg and meets Nixon's iconic character Miranda Hobbs at a gay bar. One thing leads to another, and Sister Mary loses her virginity to Miranda. Poehler asked O'Donnell what filming the "bed scene" was like at the request of Nixon herself.

“Horrifying to me, because I was so nervous!” explained O'Donnell while laughing.

“First of all, I love her. And have so much respect for her,” she added. "And she called me, and she’s like, ‘Ro, you know, [showrunner Michael Patrick King] wrote you a scene and it’s with me. Will you do it?’ I said, ‘Of course I’ll do it with you.’ And then I read it, and I’m in bed with just the sheets and then I’m like, ‘Oh my god.’”

For O'Donnell, filming the scene wasn't necessarily a horrifying experience in a bad way, but more about not knowing how to go about it and not having that much experience. In the span of her career, she's only had one other intimate scene, and it was on Nip/Tuck with Julian McMahon.

She adds that she was incredibly nervous while working with Nixon when director Michael King suggested giving a "little bit more" for the scene. O'Donnell recalls, "I really can't" when it came to King's request to make things appear more natural.

“The kissing wasn’t hard, but the laying in bed and the wanting us to act like we had just done it...I’m a little immature when it comes to that,” O’Donnell admitted.

Poehler chimed in that O'Donnell wasn't being immature and explained that multiple actor friends have done it. O'Donnell agreed that “it’s a skill. It really is" to be able to perform an intimate scene on camera and make it look realistic. Her nerves didn't stop the comedian from praising Nixon and saying she's the "real deal" and "admires her."

Lindsay Clancy's murder trial took an emotional turn on Wednesday, Aug. 12, when she broke down in court during testimony about her children's injuries.

The 36-year-old Massachusetts mother became visibly upset multiple times as medical experts discussed the injuries suffered by her three children, prompting the judge to send jurors out of the courtroom and pause proceedings. Clancy is facing first-degree murder charges in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, who were killed inside the family's Duxbury home in January 2023.

What Caused Lindsay Clancy to Break Down?

The start of Clancy's emotional reaction came after the lunch recess. The prosecution called Dr. Renee Stonebridge, a forensic pathologist with the Massachusetts Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, to the stand to discuss the injuries found during the children's autopsies. 

Clancy sobbed as Stonebridge testified about the findings from each child's autopsy, including what she discovered while examining Callan's brain.

Judge William Sullivan eventually called for a recess as Clancy buried her face in her hands. The jury was sent out of the courtroom while Clancy was given time to compose herself.

After the jurors returned, Judge Sullivan reminded them that they could not allow their emotional reactions to influence their eventual decision. He stressed that their verdict must be based solely on the evidence presented in court.

When the trial resumed, the prosecution called Dr. Barbara Olson, who works at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, to the stand. Olson discussed the autopsy of Cora as Clancy became visibly upset again. At one point, she could be heard saying, "I can't do it," prompting the judge to send the jurors out of the courtroom for a second time.

Olson's testimony continued and, according to WCVB, there was a emotional atmosphere in the courtroom, with one juror also breaking down in tears. As jurors were shown autopsy photos of Cora and Dawson, Clancy kept her head down on the table in front of her.

Following Olson's testimony, court adjourned for the day.

Did Lindsay Clancy Admit to Killing Her Children?

Clancy is not disputing that she killed her three children. Instead, her defense is arguing that she is not criminally responsible for their deaths because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and was overmedicated.

Prosecutors, however, argue that Clancy planned the killings and should be held responsible for her actions.

The trial is set to resume on Thursday, Aug. 13.

There is no denying that Keanu Reeves was one of the biggest movie stars in the '90s. Thanks to his roles in movies such as Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and Point Break, he was already a household name.

However, when it came to his casting as Jack Traven in the 1994 action film Speed, he wasn't 20th Century Fox's first choice. What makes that bit of movie trivia even more shocking is that several actors had to turn down the role before it was finally offered to Reeves.

So, who did casting directors want playing Jack Traven alongside Sandra Bullock's Annie Porter?

Originally, actor Jeff Speakman was set to star in Speed. However, when the movie was acquired by 20th Century Fox, Speakman was dropped, and the role was offered to Stephen Baldwin.

He turned it down, and the movie was then offered to 21 Jump Street star Richard Geico, who, two decades later, still regrets saying no to the action blockbuster.

"I'll be honest with you, I turned down everything from probably '92 to '94," he told Yahoo Entertainment in 2021. "And there are a lot of films that I turned down that went on to be big things, and other films that didn't... One that was offered to me that I turned down was Speed. But Keanu did a great job."

On the 20th anniversary of Speed, screenwriter Graham Yost also revealed that Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Woody Harrelson, and Wesley Snipes were all considered for the role before director Jan De Bont cast Reeves.

And it's a good thing he did. Speed went on to debut at the top of the box office in the summer of 1994, grossing $14.5 million in its opening weekend. Overall, the movie earned over $350 million worldwide, becoming one of the biggest action movies of the decade.

And in case you were wondering, Sandra Bullock was also not the first choice when it came to Annier Porter. The role was offered to Halle Berry and Ellen DeGeneres before Bullock was officially cast.

Reeves still remembers his time filming Speed fondly, telling ET Online, "It was a great experience to make that film. [I] got to meet Sandra Bullock, got to work with her, it was fantastic."

He continued, "We had to pretend some pretty wacky stuff and she was so authentic, and her humor and intelligence, authenticity. It was just a joy to be around and to perform with."

In 1956, Elvis Presley pulled off a chart feat that would stand as one of the biggest of the early rock era, and the two songs responsible for it had been recorded on the very same day.

“Don’t Be Cruel” and “Hound Dog,” released together as a single in July 1956, began an extraordinary 11-week run at No. 1 on Aug. 12, 1956.

The two songs could hardly have sounded more different, but together they helped cement the 21-year-old Presley as rock and roll's biggest new star.

Elvis Recorded ‘Don’t Be Cruel’ and ‘Hound Dog’ in One Marathon Session

Presley recorded both songs on July 2, 1956, during a session at RCA Victor Studios in New York City. “Any Way You Want Me” was also recorded that day.

And Presley wasn't interested in getting in and out of the studio quickly.

According to the book "Elvis Day by Day: The Definitive Record of His Life and Music" by Peter Guralnick and Ernst Jorgensen, Elvis went through 28 takes of “Don’t Be Cruel” before he was satisfied and then worked through 31 takes of “Hound Dog.” Scotty Moore played lead guitar, Bill Black was on bass, D.J. Fontana played drums and the Jordanaires provided backing vocals.

“Don’t Be Cruel” was written by Otis Blackwell, who also wrote or co-wrote songs including “All Shook Up,” “Return to Sender” and “Great Balls of Fire.” Blackwell agreed to give Presley a co-writing credit and a share of the royalties to help ensure that one of the hottest singers in the country would record it.

“Hound Dog,” meanwhile, had a history long before Presley got near it. Famed songwriting duo Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller wrote the song for Big Mama Thornton, whose 1953 recording spent seven weeks atop Billboard's R&B chart.

Presley's rendition actually owed more to the reworked version he heard Freddie Bell and the Bellboys performing during his disastrous first Las Vegas engagement in 1956. He took that interpretation to national television before recording his own version in July.

‘Don’t Be Cruel’ and ‘Hound Dog’ Spent a Record 11 Weeks at No. 1

RCA released “Don’t Be Cruel” backed with “Hound Dog” on July 13, 1956. “Hound Dog” initially raced up the pop chart, but “Don’t Be Cruel” soon joined it at the top, while also reaching No. 1 on the country and R&B charts.

Beginning with the Billboard chart week ending Aug. 18, the record spent 11 consecutive weeks at No. 1.

In "The Billboard Book of Number One Hits,"music historian Fred Bronson noted that Presley's “Don’t Be Cruel”/“Hound Dog” stretch at the top of the charts was longer than any other record in the rock era at the time the book was published. The record stood until Boyz II Men's 1992 smash hit "End of the Road."

The single was eventually credited with more than 4 million copies sold by the end of 1956, while “Hound Dog” would ultimately become one of Presley's biggest-selling recordings.

The appeal wasn't merely commercial.

In "The Heart of Rock & Soul: The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made," rock critic Dave Marsh ranked “Don’t Be Cruel” at No. 130. He praised the seemingly effortless quality of Presley's performance, focusing in particular on the little “mmmhmm” between the first two verses as an example of how much Presley could accomplish while sounding as though he were barely trying.

“Hound Dog” was the snarling counterpart to that relaxed performance. The song had already become controversial after Presley's June 5 appearance on The Milton Berle Show, when his hip movements caused an uproar and helped turn the performance into a defining moment in his rapid ascent.

Presley would perform “Don’t Be Cruel” during all three of his appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show, while both songs became enduring pieces of his catalog.

Seventy years after their record-setting run began, it's even more remarkable that two songs so closely associated with Presley's breakthrough were created, at least as Presley recordings, just hours apart.

Actor Kellan Lutz, who famously played vampire Emmett Cullen in the Twilight film franchise, is getting candid about leaving Los Angeles.

During an appearance on the August 11 episode of Michael Rosenbaum's podcast,Inside of You, Kellan explained why he and his wife of nearly nine years, Brittany Lutz, took up residence in Tennessee around 2023. When Rosenbaum asked, "You left L.A. really for more family life and to get away, right?" Kellan replied, "Yeah."

"The whole Tennessee move happened when we had our second kid," said Kellan, who shares a 5-year-old daughter, Ashtyn, and a four-year-old son, Kasen, with Brittany.

He went on to say that Brittany's parents packed up their home in Orange County, California, and headed to Tennessee following the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

"Her family chose to leave California, and we followed, you know, mainly when I'm working, my wife didn't have a support system, someone to help with the kids when I'm away, and one of the kids got sick. She felt really out of control as far as not being able to bring both kids there, or just kind of helpless. So she's like, 'Can we move?' I'm like, 'Yeah, of course,'" said Kellan.

He also said that "there's a lot of great things about Tennessee," including still being a part of the entertainment industry.

"We got some land, got great bible studies that we're a part of, great churches, great community. There's a lot of actors. I've gone to probably more movie premieres in Franklin, Tennessee, than I have in L.A., you know, the last couple years since I lived there. For whatever reason, the industry is still there, which I'm grateful for," said the 41-year-old while recording the podcast interview.

He clarified that he "never wanted to leave" Southern California and may return as a resident with his wife and children.

"My wife and I, our hearts are still in California, especially Orange County," said the actor in the August 2026 interview.

In addition, Kellan suggested that he and his wife aren't fans of the Tennessee weather.

"There are things that are hard for us. We aren't seasons people. There's tornadoes. My wife goes on red alert, especially when you have kids. And we do miss good sushi and good Mexican food," said the Comeback actor.

Brittany and Kellan often share moments of their life together on social media. For instance, in June 2026, Brittany took to Instagram to upload a video of her and her husband sharing a sweet moment on a beach. In the caption of the post, the model wrote about her appreciation for Lutz, whom she said has provided her a sense of security.

"Love this man more than words. He’s built me many a boats, gotten in and rowed me to safety. It’s you @kellanlutz forever and ever ❤️," read the caption.

Nick Reiner has been formally indicted on murder charges in connection with the December 2025 deaths of his parents, director and actor Rob Reiner and photographer and producer Michele Singer Reiner. 

A Los Angeles grand jury returned the indictment on two counts of first-degree murder, replacing the original charges filed against Nick last year, The L.A Times reported on Wednesday, August 12.

According to the indictment obtained by Deadline, Nick now faces a new special circumstance allegation of lying in wait, along with the previously filed allegation that he used a knife. The indictment was returned by the grand jury on July 20, but it remained sealed until today.

Prosecutor Speaks Out After Nick Reiner Pleads 'Not Guilty'

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman addressed the case directly in a statement. "This was a profound betrayal by someone who was loved and trusted by the very people he is accused of killing," Hochman said in the official press release.

"The indictment unsealed today also adds a special circumstance allegation that the defendant committed the murders by means of lying in wait." He added, "We hope that by having a grand jury return an indictment in this case it will bring us one step closer to a trial and achieving justice."

Nick pleaded not guilty after the indictment was unsealed Wednesday, according to Hochman's office.

What the Indictment Means for the Case

As per NBC affiliate WKYC, with the grand jury indictment now in place, the case will likely bypass the public preliminary hearing that had been expected sometime this fall, a hearing typically used to determine whether enough evidence exists to move forward to trial. According to Metro UK, this also means he could face a possibility of the death penalty.

Nick, currently held at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles, had previously pleaded not guilty to the original murder charges but has not yet formally responded to this new indictment beyond Wednesday's plea.

Prosecutors allege Nick fatally stabbed his parents inside their Brentwood home in the early morning of December 14. He was arrested hours later near the University of Southern California campus and has been held without bail since his arrest, as per the official press release.

Nick is scheduled to return to court for a pretrial hearing on September 15. If convicted as charged, he faces either the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole. The district attorney's office has not yet decided whether to pursue capital punishment formally.

Rob Reiner, the son of comedy legend Carl Reiner, first became a household name playing Meathead on All in the Family before going on to direct beloved films including Stand by Me, This Is Spinal Tap, When Harry Met Sally, and A Few Good Men.

According to a New York Times report, Nick had previously spoken publicly about his own struggles with addiction and homelessness, co-writing the 2015 film Being Charlie, which Rob directed, drawing from his experiences.

We all have a story we tell ourselves to make sense of who we are or where we're at in life. And sometimes, that underlying concept or belief isn't entirely true. According to expert astrologers, each zodiac sign tends to repeat one particular lie to themselves, often without even realizing it. It's not about being dishonest with others. Rather, it's quiet self-deception that keeps them comfortable, even when it's holding them back.

What Lie Does Each Zodiac Sign Tell Themselves?

Read for your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs.

Aries: "I don't need anyone's help."

Aries prides itself on independence, but that self-reliance often masks a fear of being seen as weak. Asking for support doesn't threaten your strength. Knowing when to outsource is actually what would get you where you're going faster. If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others.

Taurus: "I'm fine with things staying the same."

Taurus finds comfort in routine, but sometimes that comfort becomes an excuse to avoid change that's clearly needed. Growth rarely feels convenient, and pretending you don't want it doesn't make the desire for more or better disappear. It just keeps you stagnant.

Gemini: "I don't actually care that much."

Gemini's quick wit and effortless charm often mask how deeply they actually feel things. Playing it cool protects you from vulnerability, but it also keeps people from ever really knowing you. Detachment is your greatest strength at times. However, it can also be your greatest weakness.

Cancer: "I don't need anything back."

Cancer gives endlessly to the people they love, like remembering the small things, showing up before being asked, carrying more than their share. But insisting you don't need anything in return doesn't make the imbalance disappear. It just means the resentment builds quietly until it comes out sideways, instead of you simply asking for what you needed all along.

Leo: "I'm not bothered by what people think of me."

Leo can perform confidence so convincingly that even they start to believe it's effortless. But underneath the bravado is someone who tracks the room's reaction far more closely than they'd ever admit. Pretending you don't care what people think doesn't make the sting of being overlooked disappear. It just means you handle it alone instead of letting others in.

Virgo: "I already know what's best."

Virgo trusts their own judgment so thoroughly that it rarely occurs to them that they might be wrong or that someone didn't ask for their read on the situation. By making assumptions, it can cut them off from learning opportunities or chances to connect deeper with others.

Libra: "I don't have a strong opinion either way."

Libra values harmony, but sometimes that turns into avoiding an opinion altogether just to keep the peace. Not choosing is still a choice, and it usually costs you more than picking a side would. Avoidance of your own feelings can keep you stuck in situations that aren't aligned with your truth.

Scorpio: "I trust people until they give me a reason not to."

Scorpio says this with total sincerity, while quietly testing people from the very first interaction to see if they'll pass. The trust was never unconditional to begin with. It was provisional, and Scorpio rarely admits that upfront, even to themselves.

Sagittarius: "I just need a change of scenery."

Sagittarius treats reinvention as growth, and sometimes it genuinely is. But other times, starting over is just a more socially acceptable way of running, such as leaving before anyone gets close enough to actually see them stay through something hard.

Capricorn: "I'll rest once I've earned it."

Capricorn ties self-worth to achievement, always pushing the finish line further away. Rest isn't a reward you have to unlock. It's something you're allowed to have now, a human need to acquire success and happiness.

Aquarius: "I don't need to fit in."

Aquarius takes pride in being different, but sometimes that pride covers up a real fear of rejection. Wanting connection doesn't make you any less unique. It's okay to stand out from the crowd and to be choosy about your inner circle. However, it's only human to get lonely.

Pisces: "I can fix this if I just love them enough."

Pisces believes deeply in the redemptive power of love, sometimes past the point where it's actually working. But loving someone harder doesn't change who they are. Rather, it just means Pisces stays longer than the situation ever deserved.

Celebrating my 33rd birthday felt surreal. While I’ve been crossing amazing life experiences off my bucket list and traveling to my heart’s content, my 20s seem to be getting further and further away in the rearview mirror. This new decade of life has made me more mindful of my health and longevity. After all, lean muscle mass, metabolism and collagen all naturally decline with age.

That’s why I dubbed 2026 my “year of wellness,” putting my overall well-being first. I adopted healthier eating habits, signed up for unlimited Pilates and started spending time outdoors soaking up the sun and fresh air whenever possible. I also sprinkled new forms of wellness into my weekly routine—like dark showering and streaming green noise at bedtime—to keep things fresh.

I’ve always tried to prioritize exercise, but one modality I don’t do enough is cardio. Since cardio is king when it comes to supporting heart health, reducing stress and revving up metabolism, I began walking and bike riding more, which is an easy habit to stick with during the warm weather months. Recently, I made it my mission to do zone 2 cardio every day for two weeks. 

Here’s everything to know about my zone 2 cardio results, including what happened to my resting heart rate.

What Exactly Is Zone 2 Cardio (And How Do You Find Your Zone)?

According to Dr. Shady Hassan, MD, interventional pain & sports medicine physician and founder at NefraHealth, “Zone 2 is the pace where your body is still working aerobically. It burns fat and glucose using oxygen, and it clears the byproducts about as fast as it makes them. It sits right at Lactate Threshold 1, the ceiling of intensity before blood lactate rises above baseline.”

Zone 2 consists of low-to-moderate-intensity aerobic exercise—like a brisk walk on a flat trail or mild incline, a smooth elliptical workout or a steady, easy jog for those who are more conditioned—that slightly elevates the heart rate.

If you’re wondering how to calculate zone 2 heart rate, it typically falls between 60% and 70% of your maximum heart rate (which is roughly 220 minus your age, according to the American Heart Association).

And the best part? You don’t necessarily need a fitness tracker or heart rate monitor to determine whether you’re in zone 2. In fact, the most practical method is the “talk test.” 

In zone 2, you should be able to comfortably converse with an exercise buddy. If you need to pause mid-sentence to catch your breath, you’ve entered zone 3, Dr. Hassan explains.

Why exactly does zone 2 matter? It helps build endurance and improve aerobic and mitochondrial fitness, making it simpler to perform moderate-intensity exercise for longer periods of time.

According to Ben Walker, personal trainer and founder of Get Up Dublin, “Zone 2 fitness is essential if training for a long endurance event. It is important to train in the ‘steady state’ at its peak capacity for long durations.”

My Baseline Metrics: Starting Resting Heart Rate and Workout Plan

Most days, I wear my Fitbit Charge 6, so I’m able to stay in sync with key health stats like resting heart rate (RHR), calories burned and sleep score. Fitbit measures my heart rate throughout the day and night—including during periods of rest and sleep—and it provides me with one resting heart rate value in my app per day. In addition to the daily values, I’m also able to view my average RHR on a weekly, monthly, three-month and annual basis.

My workout plan was incredibly simple and easy to weave into my routine. Each day for two weeks, I started with some light stretching before heading outdoors for a brisk 30 to 45-minute walk. My typical route is mostly flat with a few hills sprinkled into the mix—and during the second week, I did some light hiking as well.

A few days during my experiment, I was traveling, so I traded in my lush green walking views in Connecticut for red rocks, cacti and the stunning desert landscape of Sedona, Arizona. I had great walking buddies with me to gab with and the path was basically flat with a couple of hills.

The Daily Experience: How Hard Is It To Stay in Zone 2?

My mom and I enjoy taking “walk and talks,” where we each walk around our own neighborhood/community while catching up with each other on the phone. Some days, we even walk together with my pup, Tucker. Chatting with Mom definitely made it easy to stay on top of the “talk test” to ensure I was keeping at a consistent pace and wasn’t veering into zone 3.

That said, you absolutely need some sort of gauge to ensure you are staying in that low-to-moderate intensity aerobic window. Staying in one zone also calls for mindfulness.

The Results: How Much Did My Resting Heart Rate Actually Drop?

While I didn’t experience a substantial resting heart rate drop during my two-week zone 2 training experiment, I did notice a small improvement. At the end of June and beginning of July, my RHR was an average of 69 beats per minute (BPM); during this experiment, it decreased to an average of 67 BMP. Two weeks may be a short timeframe to see any dramatic changes, but I feel my RHR will continue to improve as I keep up with my daily brisk walking habit.

What 14 Days of Daily Zone 2 Taught Me About Recovery and Stamina

Something else I noticed when rounding up my personal zone 2 cardio benefits? My sleep quality improved by the middle of week one and continued into week two. One of my top goals this year was to add more physical activity to my days and get more restful sleep, and the added exercise has definitely supported my Z’s. During my test period, my Fitbit revealed my sleep was “good” to “excellent,” noting that I was building “a strong foundation” for my days.

Alexa Mellardo

By the end of week one, I felt more recovered and prepared to tackle each walk. They didn’t feel like a chore, and I wasn’t super fatigued afterward (which has happened to me in the past with more intense workout sessions). I was even able to keep up with the walking pace more comfortably while chatting with Mom and aimed for a full 45 minutes per day heading into week two.

Should You Do Zone 2 Cardio Every Day? (Pros, Cons and Experts’ Take)

In addition to those training for long-distance races or working on aerobic base building, Walker says zone 2 cardio can be an excellent modality for beginners and older adults. With zone 2, mechanical stress placed on the tendons and joints is typically lower.

That said, Dr. Hassan recommends speaking with your healthcare provider before getting started if you have diabetes, cardiovascular conditions or unexplained dizziness, chest tightness or shortness of breath when exerting yourself.

In addition, if you perform high-intensity workouts on a regular basis, slowing things down may feel counterintuitive. Dr. Hassan says your body also may not be productive at burning fat for energy quite yet.

“When you slow down into zone 2, your muscle cells struggle initially because they haven't built up those cellular powerhouses (mitochondria) to run smoothly at a slow pace. You might feel a bit sluggish at first simply because your body is learning a new way to make energy,” he points out.

Overall, zone 2 cardio can be a beneficial addition to a well-rounded fitness routine when combined with strength training and mobility work. While doing it every day may not be feasible for everyone’s schedule, it’s a simple way to boost your heart health and fitness. After all, heading outdoors for a brisk walk works wonders for the mind, body and soul!

One month after TMZ reported that comedians Tom Segura and Christina Pazsitzkyhad split after 18 years of marriage, Segura broke his silence about the separation.

On the Aug. 12 episode of the Your Mom’s House podcast, Segura opened by saying, “A lot of people obviously heard the news and saw last week’s episode, where Christina hosted it.”

“I don’t feel the need to say a lot to people, but it bothered me that a lot of people were like, ‘Oh, I can’t believe you would make her go address this alone or do this on her own,’” Segura said. “Which couldn’t be further from the truth.”

When Pazsitzky spoke on the podcast, she confirmed the separation in an episode titled “People Changes.” She said that she and Segura had a successful marriage, and although they’re no longer a couple, they continue to make their children a priority.

“The truth is that we have been recording separate episodes for a long time now because everything that people know is not new to this,” Segura continued. “It’s been many, many months. So this is not brand new to us.”

Segura went on to say that their split has been a “horrible experience.”

“It’s a long experience,” he said. “It’s emotionally a rollercoaster. Your emotions change often, many times in a day. If anyone’s ever been through it or knows anyone, you don’t feel the same all the time. It’s really tough on you. Personally, it’s really tough. Having it be public is awful.”

Despite the split and “rollercoaster” of emotions, Segura explained that the two are still supportive of each other and talk daily. He said that they’re trying to provide the best life that they can for their two children, Ellis and Julian.

Segura continued, saying that he will not be speaking on the split any further.

“I’m going to just be focused on what I do and, like I said, taking care of the kids,” he said. “Christina and I continue to do that. We talk to each other. We are fine with how things are moving along, as disappointing as it is. It is what it is in that regard.”

Before their separation, the comedians gained popularity from their stand-up shows and Netflix specials. Segura’s comedy series Bad Thoughts received two 2026 Emmy nominations, with Pazsitzky finding success in her own Netflix comedy specials and her cosmetics company, Christina P. The couple wed in 2008, welcoming children together in 2016 and 2018.

Nothing can stop Spider-Man: Brand New Day — not even Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, and a pack of hungry dinosaurs.

As Hathaway and McGregor’s new film, The End of Oak Street, gears up for an estimated $20 to 30 million opening, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man remains at the top. In its third week, Spider-Man: Brand New Day could earn another $65 to $70 million over the weekend, Variety reported.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has become the highest-grossing movie of the year with $1.68 billion globally, and has surpassed Avengers: Endgame as the biggest opening weekend of all time. Although The End of Oak Street isn’t eyeing a debut nearly as big, the film will premiere in 3,400 theaters, with Variety reporting that “positive word-of-mouth will be crucial.”

The End of Oak Street was written and directed by David Robert Mitchell, following a family as their home is mysteriously transported to prehistoric times. Produced by Star Wars director J.J. Abrams, the film is a survival thriller that “reads like a beautiful family drama with [a] dinosaur element,” McGregor said in an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Deadline wrote that the family is sent into a “mad dash for survival,” with all types of dinosaurs now in their neighborhood.

“We had no idea we’d have to do quite so much running that we did,” McGregor said with a smile.

“Our director, David Robert Mitchell, he’s absolutely amazing,” Hathaway said during the interview. “He had these ambitious shots. … [McGregor and I] were still getting to know each other, and we were very professional for about eight takes. After the eighth take, [he] turned to me and was like, ‘Did anybody tell you there would be so much running?’”

Critics have responded to The End of Oak Street with mixed reviews, with Deadline writing that the film “clearly isn’t going to take [Hathaway] back to the Academy Awards.” But with a current 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, one critic called it “a nice, entertaining summer flick.”
