Retired detective Bob Gilliam believes there may be an important reason the 911 calls connected to the Nancy Guthrie case have not been released publicly. During a recent discussion about the investigation on The Interview Room, Gilliam suggested authorities could be keeping the recordings sealed to protect aspects of the case that may still be active behind the scenes.

"I don't think we're going to hear the 911 calls for a while and there could be a myriad of reasons for that. There's probably some investigative information in there that the detectives don't want out to the public," Gilliam said. "So, don't hold your breath, I think it's going to be quite a while before we hear anything like that."

Guthrie, 84, had dinner at her daughter's home on Saturday, January 31. After spending some time with family, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told The New York Times that Guthrie's son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, drove her home. This happened around 9:45 p.m. local time, according to the timeline released by authorities.

Cioni reportedly waited until Guthrie was safely inside her home before he drove away. What happened over the next few hours is still unclear, but investigators believe that Guthrie was taken from her home in the middle of the night. On Sunday, Feb. 1, Guthrie's friends got worried when she didn't show up for church, which they watched from a livestream at home, per NBC News.

From there, it's believed that someone called Guthrie's daughter, Annie Guthrie, who also couldn't reach her mom, so she went over to her house. When she realized her mom wasn't home, Annie called 911. It's unclear if any additional 911 calls were made.

Authorities have not publicly identified a suspect or suspects in the case and Nancy's whereabouts are still unknown. Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI (1-800-CALL-FBI).

Prince Harry is pushing back on the notion that he is no longer a "working royal."

The Duke of Sussex spoke with ITV on Friday, April 24 during a trip to Ukraine. He was asked by the outlet if he was familiar with the phrase "not a working royal" as a description of himself.

"No. I will always be part of the royal family," Harry replied.

“I am here working doing the things that I was born to do," he continued. “And, you know, I enjoy doing it. I enjoy coming to do these trips and supporting that I've ever before, the friends that I've made, and hopefully, bringing attention to issues that, for one reason or another, drop out of the news because something else has popped up."

Prince Harry joined the humanitarian landmine clearance organization HALO in the city of Bucha. His mother Princess Dianawas also involved with the organization and advocated for an international landmine ban when walked through an active minefield in Angola in 1997.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from the royal family in Jan. 2020. At the time, they shared plans to "carve out a progressive new role" within the royal family and "balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America."

The couple announced back in 2020, "We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen."

However, one year later it was announced that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would not be returning to their royal roles after moving to Markle's of home state California.

The Duke and Duchess have continued to commit themselves to service and charity work despite stepping back from their royal roles. The couple's organization Archewell Philanthropies has continued to support the armed forces, mental health, the rights of women and girls, and other causes.

Anthony Kiedis' girlfriend, Eileen Kelly, is opening up about what it's like to have a boyfriend who is more than twice her age.

Kelly, 30, who speaks frequently on topics related to sex and dating, wrote about being in a relationship with the legendary Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman, 63, in a Vogue essay titled "My Boyfriend Is Double My Age". While Kelly doesn't specifically name Kiedis in the essay, the couple have been spotted together frequently, so there's no doubt who she's talking about.

The essay kicks off with Kelly discussing another friend's breakup, sharing that the friend was heartsick after another man in his thirties treated her poorly. Kelly recommends that she "try dating someone older."

That's when Kelly delves into the parts about dating Kiedis.

"My own boyfriend is more than twice my age, which is either alarming or impressive, depending on who you ask," wrote Kelly, who added that the "age gap didn't register at first." She said her boyfriend "seems genuinely excited to be with me" and knows "he's one lucky bastard."

However, Kelly spoke about the downsides of being an age-gap relationship, including the feedback from others.

"One of the more shocking aspects of being in an age-gap relationship has been the unsolicited commentary in public. It happens in passing. A question: 'Is that your dad?' Or, directed at him, with a performative smile: 'Your daughter is so beautiful.' The remarks come with a cheerful bluntness, suggesting a certain satisfaction at having correctly identified the matter at hand, and it’s incredibly awkward every time. There is no sense that anything has been overstepped. If anything, it’s the opposite: a pride in just saying the thing that others were probably thinking," Kelly wrote, adding that a friend was once "visibly disappointed when she shared about the relationship, and that they speak less often now.

Kelly also noted that their relationship doesn't have an unbalanced power dynamic, because she isn't entirely reliable on Kiedis for her wellbeing. She has her own career, finances, and home.

"I love my boyfriend, but I’m not at risk of losing everything if we break up," she wrote.

Kelly concluded by saying that the couple's "reality is comparatively unremarkable. From the inside, we’re mostly just two people doing the ongoing, unremarkable work of moving through life together."

Director James Mangold is making his return to TV after almost a decade, adapting the 1997 film Cop Land for Paramount Television Studios and Miramax Television. The Sylvester Stallone-led original film was a box office success, with positive critical reviews.

According to Deadline, Mangold is heading back to his roots, revisiting the crime drama film that earned him recognition early on in his career. He's set to co-write, direct, and executive produce a series adaptation of his movie Cop Land. The Old Man co-creator Rob Levine is also attached as its showrunner, co-writer, and executive producer.

Details about the project are still unclear, and whether or not Stallone will return in some capacity as his original character. Cop Land premiered in August of 1997 with the cast including Stallone alongside Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta, and Robert De Niro. It also starred Peter Berg, Janeane Garofalo, Robert Patrick, Michael Rapaport, Annabella Sciorra, Noah Emmerich, and Cathy Moriarty in supporting roles.

The crime drama has become one of Stallone's underrated hits, playing the role of a small-town sheriff in Garrison, New Jersey, named Freddy Heflin. The state has become home to corrupt New York police officers who live there tax-free. Despite Freddy idolizing them, he soon discovers their corruption and involvement in organized crime. Freddy is forced to seek justice and the truth when a young officer is murdered after having discovered evidence of their crimes.

The Cop Land TV series will be the first time Mangold is credited as a series writer, with the project having come about due to his overall deal with Paramount. The project began taking shape two years ago after Jonathan Glickman became Miramax CEO and discussed with Mangold the idea of adapting the title from the studio’s film library into a television series.

For now, there are no details of an official cast or actor to lead the series. Stallone has also not publicly commented on the project and his involvement.

Neon Union have decided to go their separate ways. 

In a joint Instagram letter on Friday, April 24, the beloved country music duo announced their decision to disband. The talented pair, made up of Leo Brooks and Andrew Millsaps, added that the choice came after a lot of “thought and consideration.” 

“After a lot of thought and consideration, we’ve decided to go our separate ways. This chapter of Neon Union is closing,” the duo’s Millsaps wrote in a slideshow, which showcases various photos of Neon Union through the years. “What a ride we have had! I love Leo, and he will always be my friend and brother. I’m thankful for every chapter of my book in life. Neon Union was a very impactful and special chapter in that book. I’ve done things I’ve never dreamed possible, and made lifelong memories.”

Millsaps, who, with Brooks, formed in 2022 and inked a deal with Red Street Records’ country division, went on to thank the label for “the opportunity to put our music out to the world.” 

“...We’ve accomplished bucket list check marks that a small town boy from Mayberry could have only dreamed of,” he said, before pointing out a few of the band’s early milestones. “From an ACM nomination to the Grand Ole Opry Circle, I cannot express how lucky and blessed I am to have been part of this journey, but I am ready for the next one. The closing of this chapter might be the end of one, but it’s the beginning of the next. I’m excited for what’s to come. To the Neon Union fans, I want to say thank you so much for all of your love and support.”

As for Brooks, he shared his message, adding that while the two will be embarking on separate career paths, they will still come together to write songs. 

“Life is a journey, and I’m just grateful for the ride. I’ve learned a lot from Neon Union and had great times,” Brooks said. “Andrew will always be my best friend, and we will still write songs together.” 

“Big thanks to the whole Red Street team, now it’s time to go wherever God leads me,” he added. “Thank you to all of the NU fans, love y’all, and here’s to the next chapter, cheers. Leo Brooks.” 

Fans of Neon Union were quick to jump into the comments section of the post, with some even wondering whether the message was real. 

“Is this a joke? 😮,” one person wrote while another follower added, “This must be a joke.”

Other fans accepted the announcement while expressing regret, with one person writing, “Aghhh I thought y'all were great together but best of luck in all future endeavors.”

“This is sad. I love your music,” another person wrote. 

Since forming in 2022, Neon Union has performed on the Grand Ole Opry stage, received an Academy of Country Music (ACM) nomination for New Duo/Group of the Year, and has either opened for or collaborated with top artists like Hardy,Scotty McCreery, and Pitbull. The duo is behind songs like “Bout Damn Time” and “Made In Mexico.”

In 1974, a song burst onto the charts with a bold sound and a lyric that many listeners didn't fully understand at the time.

"Lady Marmalade," performed by Labelle, the legendary girl group led by Patti LaBelle, became a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, quickly turning into one of the most talked-about songs of its era.

With its infectious groove and unforgettable chorus—"Voulez-vous coucher avec moi (ce soir)?"—the track stood out immediately. But, behind that now-famous French lyric was a meaning that wasn't initially clear to everyone involved. Patti LaBelle herself has shared that she didn’t fully understand what the phrase meant when she first recorded it, only later realizing its more suggestive translation.

"I had no clue it meant, 'Will you sleep with me tonight?'" said LaBelle during an interview on Sherri. All she knew for sure is that the song would be a hit.

"We thought it was a woman just walking down the street – it didn't register that it might be about something else," LaBelle told The Guardian in 2015. "We were very innocent, and I had no clue. I was very naive. Then we had some controversy about a nun being upset about the song, and we found out."

Written by Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan, the song tells the story of a New Orleans sex worker navigating love, desire and independence. Its blend of funk, soul and glam helped define the sound of the mid-1970s while pushing boundaries with its bold themes.

More than two decades later, "Lady Marmalade" proved its staying power when a new version—recorded by Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, Mýa and Pink and produced by Missy Elliot and Rockwilder—once again climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2001. The remake introduced the song to a new generation, reaffirming its status as a pop culture phenomenon.

Few songs have achieved that kind of cross-generational success, especially while maintaining their original edge and energy.

"There’s a reason it was a hit all over again, because the song is frickin' good," Aguilera told Cosmopolitan. It makes you feel good. Even if you don’t know what you’re saying, who doesn't like singing 'Gitchie, gitchie, ya-ya, da-da,' you know what I mean?"

Today, "Lady Marmalade" remains a timeless classic, one that went from misunderstood lyric to global anthem, proving that sometimes the most daring songs are the ones that endure the longest.

Actress JaneFonda donned her signature stretchy black legwarmers and a grin for the cover of her first bestselling aerobic workout video, Jane Fonda's Workout. With this VHS tape, her fitness career launched into people’s living rooms on April 24, 1982, 34 years ago today.

Fonda is credited with revolutionizing exercise for women. Her 1982 workout tutorial topped the charts, becoming the first non-theatrical home video to do so. She sold over 17 million copies. 

“We rehearsed a few days, made some mistakes, did our own hair and makeup, had one camera, and figured it was no big deal,” Fonda wrote in a blog post for the 30th anniversary.

Over time, she released more than 20 fitness tapes, sporting tights, matching high-legged leotards, and legwarmers, influencing athletic fashion.

“I remember writing the script on the floor of a hotel room during a Christmas skiing vacation in Calgary. It was spit and prayer, flying by the seat of our tights and leg warmers,” she wrote.

The video was based on her 1981 bestselling book, Jane Fonda’s Workout Book, which held the #1 spot for two years.

After the success of her book, she was approached by StuartKarl to film her routine. Fonda was apprehensive about filming her workouts. She worried it would be harmful to her acting career.

But Karl was persistent.

She finally relented, “What the heck, it won’t take long, not too many people will see it, and a video will bring in a little extra funding to CED,” she wrote. CED was the California Campaign for Economic Democracy, which Fonda and her husband at the time, TomHayden, had founded.

She did not anticipate the craze that was about to happen. “I don’t remember exactly when I realized that, in spite of myself, this little Workout video had given birth to a new industry,” she wrote.

These videos originated phrases like ‘feel the burn’ and ‘no pain, no gain.’

Jane Fonda began her career as a model before following in her father, HenryFonda’s, footsteps by moving into acting. She is known for projects like On Golden Pond, 9 to 5, and Barbarella. She won two Academy Awards during her career.

Comedy legend Keegan-Michael Key may be best known for Key & Peele, but the actor and comedian has plenty going on in terms of previous roles, current work and some hilarious new antics.

Recently, Key reprised his role as Toad in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, a character who he first played in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. About the role, Key said, "I'm a history buff, so the history of the medium of video games is so fascinating to me. And this is one of those flagship, linchpin starting places for not just a game like Pong, which I would have played when I was a kid, but that could infer a story."

Key went on, "Before there were video games with stories, there was Super Mario Brothers...it would spark your imagination to kind of go, 'What's the story behind this?' And then that grew and grew and grew narratively throughout the years, and I really admire that."

About the possibility of Key returning as Toad once more, the actor said, "I hope so. I hope that is something that could transpire, yes. Because I've had so much fun working on these projects; it's really been fantastic."

Reflecting on Key & Peele, which concluded a little over a decade ago in 2015, Key shared, "The thing that I find the most wild is we didn't understand what the world was going to offer us at the time that we were making Key & Peele...I knew what our show was; I knew that we had a modular show and that you could take the sketches out and watch them independently online if you felt so inclined. That made sense to me."

He continued, "But I had no idea it was going to turn into this. So, what I find fascinating and also very fulfilling is if a person comes up to me on the street, and I'm sure Jordan [Peele] experiences this as well, and they go, 'Hey, I really enjoy your work. I like your show, and I watch it with my kid.'"

"We're very blessed that we've been given this—I say second life—this third life. This is not what I ever expected. We were just having fun, me and Jordan and our writers, and creating stuff that we thought was funny. And it started to resonate with other people as well, and I'm happier for it," he added.

Key also recently partnered with Ore-Ida, the inventor of Tater Tots, in a multi-part collaboration that included two hilarious stunts. The first was an appearance at a New York Yankeesgame on April 13, alongside five Keegan-Michael Key lookalikes. In addition to their identical outfits and matching facial hair, the real Key and all five fake Keys were perfectly in sync, even jumping up and cheering at the same times.

"The main concept of this is that there are originals in this world and then there are imitators," Key explained. "What we did at the Yankees game was, there's me, Keegan-Michael Key, I'm the original. And then we had five guys who were dressed exactly like me. We all sat behind home plate during the Yankees game, and we all cheered the same way and celebrated the same way and went, 'Oh my god, why did he swing at that' the same way."

"It was a lot of fun. We really had a wonderful time, and the guys were great. We had wonderful conversations, exchanged some numbers, it was really, really lovely," he said.

New York Yankees

In addition to this Yankees takeover, Key and Ore-Ida partnered on “Don’t Trust the Imi-taters," a video that harkens back to Key's storied history of bringing multiple characters to life at once. In it, Key plays a range of characters (or “imi-taters”), from Keegan Seven Seas to Keegan-Cycle Key.

However, Key revealed that this wasn't his idea. Rather, this was the brainchild of Key's partner, Elle Key.

"It was Elle's idea to say, 'Wait a minute. If you have one Keegan, and he's the original, what if we just use him over and over again and have other imitators? Let's do this imi-tater thing and make other imitators,'" he explained. "And then everybody jumped on her bandwagon and collaboratively, we came up with this wonderful spot."

"It's been a really joyous, collaborative experience with [Ore-Ida]," Key added.

The video also offered a bit of a Key & Peele reunion, Key shared, as Peter Atencio, who directed most of the Key & Peele sketches, was also the director of this piece. The hair and makeup team of Key & Peele came back together to work on the “Don’t Trust the Imi-taters" video as well.

"It was really great. It was exactly a reunion," Key said. "And when you work with people for over five years, they become a family. So, it was a family reunion as well."

When Donald Trump ran for office, he promised not to "touch" Social Security. However, the administration was quick to make sweeping changes at the Social Security Administration (SSA), when Trump brought in Elon Musk to streamline some of the government's processes, while also cutting jobs.

Now, experts are saying that seniors and those with disabilities are starting to feel the pain of the changes at the SSA—which AFGE says lost more than 7,000 employees in 2025—and it's having a "catastrophic" effect on some of the country's most vulnerable populations.

On Apr. 23, 2026, democrats in the U.S. Senate released a report stating that the changes to the SSA were having a “catastrophic” effect on those who rely on the benefit system, namely, seniors and those with disabilities.

“Despite his campaign promises to ‘not touch’ Social Security, Donald Trump has taken a wrecking ball to the Social Security Administration (SSA), jeopardizing Americans’ access to their hard-earned benefits,” Senator Elizabeth Warren’s office said in the new Social Security War Room report, according to Newsweek.

The report went on to criticize Trump and the SSA Commissioner, Frank Bisignano, for their roles in slashing staff and services at critical locations, including in-person locations and through the agency's national phone service, which the report says makes it "harder for seniors to claim their benefits, solve problems, or just get answers to their basic questions."

The report isn't just hyperbole, either. If you go to the agency's website, you can see the number of closures and delays affecting in-person services across the country. The SSA made headlines earlier in the week for the number of states experiencing disruptions, with some closed to in-person services indefinitely. Some states have multiple offices closed right now, which makes it harder for residents to get assistance.

It's easy to see how these disruptions could be hard on those who need to meet face-to-face with SSA service representatives for help, especially those who may need to have an advocate or caregiver by their side to help them navigate the process.

While it doesn't seem like there are any plans to increase the number of SSA employees working directly with Americans, the agency has been floating the rollout of two major systems that will help agents manage their caseloads, including the National Appointment Scheduling Calendar (NASC) and the National Workload Management (NWLM) system.

The system is meant to help the agency deal with the loss of those 7,000 employees; those who work within the agency are skeptical about how much of an improvement the customer service experience will actually be, according to the Federal News Network. That's because the agents will deal with people from all across the country, and they may not be as up to date on local rules and guidelines, which could increase confusion or even reduce the benefits people can receive.

However, that concern could be a moot point at the moment, since the agency has delayed the rollout at least twice since announcing the systems upgrade, according to the publication.

There's nothing quite like the reliably delicious taste that comes with a fresh Nilla Wafer.

The perfect blend between soft, ever so slightly crisp cookie and a wonderful vanilla-forward flavor profile, Nilla Wafers are a fantastic treat whether enjoyed on their own or added to a homemade dessert like a summer-ready banana pudding.

As great as Nilla Wafers' original flavor is in their own right, the iconic snack food brand officially shared a glimpse at their first new cookie release in over two decades.

According to a new Instagram post from the company, Nilla Wafers will soon launch a new Grogu Nilla Nummies cookie flavor later this month.

Inspired by the upcoming release of Star Wars' highly anticipated movie spinoff, The Mandalorian and Grogu, the new Grogu Nilla Nummies retain the signature taste of a classic Nilla Wafer. To further tie into its sci-fi collaboration, however, the new cookies feature an eye-catching blue color design sure to transport shoppers to a galaxy far, far away.

Similarly, to help pay additional homage to its space opera inspiration, the new packaging features the image of the pint-sized Jedi Grogu on the front of the box, fittingly referencing the character's dedicated love to all things food.

"Nilla has been a beloved cookie across generations, creating joyful, shareable moments," said Caroline Suppiger, Brand Manager, Nilla at Mondelēz International. "This collaboration allows us to celebrate Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu in a fun and unexpected way by bringing a memorable on-screen moment to life — giving fans a delicious way to connect with Grogu as they head into theaters to experience the all-new film."

Arriving in stores across the nation on April 27, the new cookie flavor has already been met with avid approval from Star Wars fans and ordinary shoppers alike across social media.

"I need these!" one user commented on Instagram.

"This is so cool!" added another.

"This is the way... to snack," agreed a third. "Need to secure this bounty."

A resurfaced interview with former Athletic reporter Dianna Russini is making waves amid her alleged cheating scandal with New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel.

In March 2024, Russini shared a story on the Pardon My Take podcast of when her comments about Vrabel were taken out of context online—resulting in an angry phone call from the football coach.

“[Vrabel] called me the day after an aggregator took something I said that basically said ‘Mike Vrabel’s too fat to work,’” Russini said.

Russini then clarified what she had actually said about Vrabel.

“What I shared on the football podcast on TheAthletic was that I had dinner with a [general manager] at the Senior Bowl and we had conversations about how bizarre this last coaching cycle was and how crazy it was that [Bill] Belichick and Vrabel didn’t have gigs,” she explained.

According to Russini, the general manager then explained his theory as to why Vrabel wasn't immediately hired by a team after being fired as head coach of the Tennessee Titans in January 2024.

“And I said, ‘Why do you think that Mike didn’t get a job?’” she continued. “He said, ‘I think they needed a change there in Tennessee, but in terms of the next opportunity, I think there’s a lot of people who are very intimidated by him. He walks into a room and he’s confident. He’s physically a big human being and it’s a bit startling at first.’”

Russini said that her reporting was misconstrued, with some people thinking she was calling Vrabel fat as opposed to physically intimidating.

“The aggregators took that and changed all of this, the way I said that,” she said. “That wasn’t great to hear from a not-too-happy coach. He didn’t call me after the piece we did on why he got fired but the piece we did calling him a little fat, he wasn’t too happy.”

RELATED: Dianna Russini Tweet From 2021 Resurfaces, Fueling Mike Vrabel Affair Rumors

Last week, photos published in the New York Post showed Russini and Vrabel holding hands and hugging at a luxury hotel in Arizona.

After the pictures went viral, Russini and Vrabel both called the photos “misleading” and vehemently denied rumors of an affair. The journalist has been married to Kevin Goldschmidt since 2020 while the football coach and his wife Jennifer have been married since 1999.

Russini’s Athletic editor Steven Ginsberg also came to their defense, telling NBC News that the photos lacked “essential context.”

“These were public interactions in front of many people,” Ginsberg said. “Dianna is a premier journalist covering the NFL and we’re proud to have her at The Athletic.”

Nevertheless, Russini resigned from the publication on Apr. 14, and Vrabel announced on Thursday, Apr. 23 that he would be seeking counseling in the wake of the scandal.

Later on Apr. 23, Page Six released photos that appeared to show Russini and Vrabel kissing at a bar in New York City in March 2020—seemingly confirming the alleged affair and sparking questions about the timeline of the pair’s relationship.

Vrabel addressed the photos from six years ago in a press conference before the 2026 NFL Draft on Apr. 23.

“I take accountability for my actions and the actions that caused a distraction to the people that I care most about,” Vrabel told reporters. “My family, this football team, the organization and the fans.”

“My priorities are my family and this football and in that order,” he added. “There’s a balance there that I’m going to create. My family needs me this weekend and that’s where I’ll be.”

Vrabel declined to elaborate on what his counseling would entail, calling it a “private and personal matter.” He also told reporters that he could not say for certain if he would miss any further football activities going forward.

Fans were stunned when news hit of Stranger Things star Maya Hawke tying the knot with  Christian Lee Hutsonon Valentine's Day. Details of the wedding day have been kept quiet, with Ethan Hawke finally opening up about the emotional day.

On February 14, media outlets reported that Hawke had married her longtime partner in an intimate ceremony in New York City, with her father and mother, Uma Thurman, in attendance.

The Lowdown actor also gushed as a proud father seeing his children, "loving their life and embracing their life and finding wonderful friends and partners." Maya is the first of Hawke's three children to get married.

A month after saying "I Do," Maya commented that she's "ecstatically happy" after marrying Huston in a surprise wedding. She added that "love is the best," and "I feel so lucky to have found my best friend and to have someone I can tell anything to. It makes something like getting married feel like, oh, of course, you know, not like what, and I’m very, very, very lucky, so I’m really happy."

Maya and Huston were first spotted together in 2023 in New York City before making their red carpet debut in April 2025 at the Broadway play John Proctor Is the Villain. The two had been friends for years before officially getting into a relationship and engagment.

Bravo is currently in a state of panic. Someone let the dogs out, or rather, someone let the digital recorders run when they shouldn't have. The Summer House reunion was meant to be the crown jewel of the schedule, following the Ciara Miller-West Wilson-Amanda Batula bombshell love triangle.  But the network has issued a statement after the unthinkable happened: a leaked reunion audio is out in the wild.

The official word from Bravo HQ hit Instagram with a statement that proves they're not just angry, they’re ready to litigate. "The Summer House Reunion audio leak represents a serious breach of trust and a clear lack of respect for the cast, crew, and the integrity of the production process," the network posted. "We take this matter very seriously and have launched a full investigation and we will take appropriate action based on our findings."

Turns out what some had speculated wasn’t true: the leak is not a planned marketing stunt. It’s a mess.

The digital streets are already doing the detective work. In the comments, the fans are pointing fingers faster than Kyle Cooke at a dinner party. One user chimed in: "have a feeling it was Kj and/or Dara ☹️ id be very surprised if it were Jesse or Carl."

But the real target? Wilson. After a season of trying to be seen as the nice guy, the tide has turned. "West is finished. Thank God," one fan wrote. Another suggested: "Let’s fire West and call it a day."

Why does it matter? Because the reunion is the place where the cast are called out by the friends. When the audio drops early, the suspense does as well. Bravo also sees it a slap in the face to the editors who spend weeks cutting through the screaming matches to find a coherent story.

Despite the moral outrage from the suits in the executive suites, the fans are eating it up. One follower admitted the struggle we all feel: "I almost didn’t listen to it bc I felt so bad but I couldn’t help myself 😂."

And, of course, because this is the Bravo universe, someone had to check on the reigning queen of drama. "Is Scheana okay?" a fan asked. 

The leak proves that "Binge-culture has destroyed our consumerism of content," as one commenter lamented. We want it now. We want the raw files. We want the truth, even if it’s recorded on a smuggled iPhone under a craft services table.

Bravo wants an answer. They want to find the leaker and make an example out of them. But while they investigate, fans can’t wait to watch the reunion to see what happens next. Because audio is one thing, but seeing the sweat on their brows under those studio lights is what fans want. Stay tuned.

MTV’s breakout hit 16 and Pregnant debuted way back in 2009 with an episode that touched hearts and made a real statement. Then-16-year-old high school student Maci Bookout and her 20-year-old boyfriend, Ryan Edwards, were the first couple (on this show, that is) to share their story of teen pregnancy and parenting with the world. 

The on-and-off-again pair’s son Bentley was born in 2008, the year before MTV aired the iconic first episode of what would become one of the network’s most popular shows. Fast forward to 2026, and baby Bentley is older than his mom was when she got pregnant. That’s right, the high school junior is almost all grown up and will graduate next year.

That brings us to a recent throwback graduation day photo that fans can’t get enough of. But first, their backstory. Maci and Ryan’s saga didn't end at episode one of 16 and Pregnant. Cameras continued to follow the pair during the spin-off series Teen Mom, making both Bookout and Edwards reality TV celebrities. 

Following a tumultuous time together, the couple split for good. They both started relationships with other people. During this time, Ryan struggled with substance abuse issues and was in and out of rehab.

Bookout met, dated, and later married Taylor McKinney. The couple now has two children together, Jayde Carter McKinney (born 2015) and Maverick Reed McKinney (born 2016). Edwards also moved on, marrying his first wife, Mackenzie Standifer, in 2017. Before divorcing in 2025, the pair had two children together (Jagger and Stella). 

Edwards married his second, and current, wife, Amanda Conner, in 2025. They welcomed a daughter, Presley Sage Elianna Edwards, the same year. 

Recently, Ryan’s mom, Jen Edwards (who fans know and love from the Teen Mom series), posted a throwback photo on Instagram of herself and her son. The graduation picture, taken in 2006 before 16 and Pregnant began filming) is captioned, “20 year class reunion made me dig up old pics.” 

Fans took to Instagram, commenting on the post. At first, there was some confusion as to whether the snapshot was of Ryan or his father, Larry Edwards. And we’re guessing it's that 20-year reunion remark that threw everyone for a loop, and made them wonder, “Where did the time go?” One commenter summed it up, “Aww, Jen, it’s like we blinked right! You look super here and even better now! What a great Mimi and mama you have been to yours and who they choose to share their life with!”

Throughout the history of the film industry, audiences have been infatuated with action movies. Among the thousands created, a select few stand out as ultimate classics.

In 2025, Collider ranked the 75 best action films, compiling a list of the greatest movies ever made in the genre. Ranked among blockbuster hits such as Steven Spielberg's 1984 film, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom at No. 65 and Robert Aldrich's 1967 film, The Dirty Dozen at No. 67, Ramesh Sippy's 1975 Bollywood hit, Sholay, secured the No. 66 spot.

Released in India on August 15, 1975, Sholay became a legendary fixture in India's cinematic history. While the movie initially had a slow start during its first few weeks, word of mouth traveled fast and the film quickly transitioned from a flop to a major box office success.

Sholay was recognized as the highest-grossing film of 1975, earning a 500% profit over its budget. Its record-breaking success and undeniable influence allowed for a theatrical run of over five and a half years at the Minerva Theatre in Mumbai, marking one of the longest continuous theatrical runs in India's history.

The 1975 action blockbuster was a landmark entry in the Indian Western genre. The movie follows two outlaws, Jai and Veeru, who are hired by a revenge-seeking police officer, Thakur Baldev Singh, to capture a merciless criminal named Gabbar Singh. Gabbar had previously terrorized Thakur's family and cut off his arms in a tragic act of cruelty. Sholay captures an epic journey, highlighting themes of friendship and loyalty through an action-packed plot.

After capturing Gabbar, Jai and Veeru hand him over to officer Thakur, who arrests him for his reign of terror. Despite the illusion of a picture-perfect ending, the film was intended to end significantly more violent. In the original script, Thakur was written to achieve his revenge by killing Gabbar in a violent rage. However, the Censor Board requested that the scene be changed to appeal to a wider audience and adhere to contemporary regulations.

Sholay was not just a commercial triumph, it was also a pioneering force in Bollywood. The film transformed Hindi cinema, blending intricate character dynamics, engaging romances and show-stopping action sequences to create universal appeal. Its lasting relevance in the action genre and the Indian film industry solidified it as a cornerstone of global cinema.

The NFL Draft kicked off last night, but for the New England Patriots, the story isn’t about which tailback they’re picking up. It’s about what the team’s head coach is doing and who he’s doing it with. 

As the scandal involving head coach Mike Vrabel and The Athletic's former senior reporter Dianna Russini escalates, the team announced yesterday, April 23, that Vrabel will be missing a portion of the draft to undergo counseling.

Per NBC News, Vrabel will not be with the team Saturday night, the third day of the draft.

“As I said the other day, I promised my family, this organization and this team that I was going to give them the best version of me that I can possibly give them,” Vrabel said in a statement Wednesday. “In order to do so, I have committed to seeking counseling, starting this weekend.”

In a press conference before the start of the draft yesterday, Vrabel said he could miss more team-related events and activities in the future. 

 “I can only say that whatever my family needs, that’s what I’m going to provide," he said. "But I also understand what’s needed for me here.”

In a statement obtained Thursday by Page Six, the organization said it is standing with Vrabel and supports his decision to prioritize his family including his wife, Jennifer Vrabel, and their two sons. 

“The New England Patriots fully support Mike Vrabel’s decision to prioritize his family first, as well as his own well-being," according to a team statement. "Mike has been open with us about his commitment to being the best version of himself for his family, this team and our fans, and we respect the steps he is taking to follow through on that commitment."

The team added that Vrabel’s absence will not get in the way of their draft plans, with executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf taking the lead. 

“We are confident in the leadership and communication Mike has established with our personnel staff throughout this pre-draft process," the Patriots said in a statement.

The whole scandal began in early April when Vrabel and Russini were seen hugging and holding hands in images exclusively obtained and published by Page Six. Initially calling the images “laughable,” Vrabel has since taken the scandal more seriously. 

Russini, on the other hand, has stepped down from her position at The New York Times’ outlet, resigning April 14. Since then, she has deleted her X social media account, per People.

The same day she resigned, The Athletic’s executive editor said “new questions were raised” when the outlet uncovered additional information, NBC News reports. 

Named NFL Coach of the Year for 2025, Vrabel was the former head coach of the Tennessee Titans and a former linebacker for the Patriots. In his first year at the helm of the New England outfit, he led his team to Super Bowl LX, ultimately losing to the Seattle Seahawks.

This story is unfolding.

It's always a big day whenever Crocs announces a brand-new shoe within its increasingly large lineup, most especially when said shoe is part of a collaboration with a well-known movie series or intellectual property.

Fortunately, Crocs recently announced the addition of not one shoe, but two shoes based on a movie franchise cherished by fans across the globe.

According to a recent post on Instagram, Disney and Pixar have confirmed the upcoming release of two new Toy Story-inspired Crocs this coming June.

Inspired by two of the franchise's most popular characters, one of the new Crocs specifically features the distinct color design of Tom Hanks' strong-willed Sheriff Woody, complete with the character's signature cattle print-vest, gold star and accompanying spurs.

What's more, to further tie into Woody's Western background, the shoes even take on the shape and size of an actual pair of cowboy boots, extending up to wearers' shins rather than stopping just below the ankle.

If you're more partial to sci-fi-centric imagery and design, Crocs also shared a first look at their new alien-inspired shoes as well. Taking inspiration from Toy Story's Little Green Aliens, the Crocs feature a green and blue color palette with three eyes and an adorable little mouth.

In addition to the new shoes, Crocs will also be releasing five new collectible widgets featuring characters from Toy Story, including Buzz, Woody, Jessie, Bullseye and a Little Green Alien for good measure.

The two new pairs of Crocs and the accompanying widgets will officially arrive on June 16, just three days shy of Toy Story 5's release date on June 19.

The long-awaited sequel to 2019's Toy Story 4,Toy Story 5 sees the return of Andy's former toys as they work against an eye-catching new play tablet capturing their new owners' attention. As with the past films in the franchise, it stars Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Joan Cusack, among others.

Starbucks just announced a major change to their mobile ordering system!

On May 11, the coffee chain will launch scheduled ordering nationwide, allowing customers to plan pickups up to an hour ahead.

To schedule an order, customers can choose a specific time for pickup in the “review order” section of the Starbucks app, and can select any time up to an hour in the future.

“It’s perfect for moments that require a bit more planning, so you can schedule ahead around meetings, classes or busy days,” the company said in a press release.

Starbucks noted that the five-minute windows offered on the app will reflect real-time availability at each location. Availability is determined using Starbucks’ Smart Queue algorithm to balance and sequence mobile orders with those in-store and in the drive-thru.

The addition of scheduled ordering is the second major change the coffee chain has made to their online ordering recently.

In early April, Starbucks launched a beta app in ChatGPT that offers beverage suggestions based on certain prompts.

Customers can access the new feature by opening ChatGPT, enabling the Starbucks app through the app directory, and then chatting with @starbucks.

Text prompts include: “@Starbucks, I want something bright to start my morning,” or “@Starbucks, I’m craving an afternoon boost that isn't too sweet.” 

Customers can also upload an image of themselves or their surroundings for a menu item that suits their mood that day.

After receiving their suggested drinks, customers can order them as is or add customizations before checking out in the Starbucks app.

The company said the ChatGPT feature is meant to help guests discover drinks “in a way that feels natural, personal and fun.”

One of Hollywood’s most enduring and distinctive talents is celebrating her 92nd birthday today.

On April 24, 1934, Shirley MacLaine was born in Richmond, Virginia. Her career has since spanned more than seven decades, taking her from a classic film star to a cultural icon whose influence can be felt across generations.

The actress—older sister of Warren Beatty and named after Shirley Temple—first rose to prominence in the 1950s and 1960s, quickly establishing herself as one of cinema’s most compelling leading women. Her early roles showcased a sharp blend of wit and vulnerability that helped define her screen presence.

She made her film debut in the Alfred Hitchcock movie, The Trouble with Harry, in 1955. 

Her career reached new heights with Billy Wilder’sThe Apartment (1960), a critically acclaimed classic that remains one of her most celebrated performances, soon followed by Irma la Douce (1963). 

Some Came Running (1958) secured her first Best Actress Oscar nomination, with The Turning Point (1977) landing her another nomination.

Thought it wasn't until 1983, when she earned the Academy Award for Best Actress for Terms of Endearment.

Over the course of her career, MacLaine has earned an Academy Award, seven Golden Globes, one Emmy Award, and two BAFTA Awards, awards that highlight her incredible body of work.

While she is best known for her film career, she has also made notable television appearances, including a memorable role in Downton Abbey. More recently, she appeared in Hulu’s hit series Only Murders in the Building, continuing to introduce her work to new audiences.

Beyond the screen, MacLaine has remained a vibrant public figure, occasionally stepping back into the spotlight for a rare appearance. In December, she attended the inaugural Dance Hall of Fame ceremony, where she received the Lifetime Achievement Award and reunited with former co-star Mikhail Baryshnikov. A month earlier, she was spotted in Malibu, a bold red hat serving as a reminder that her style is as distinctive as her career and has no age limit.

MacLaine’s presence across Broadway and Hollywood has made her one of the most respected stars, with performances that will continue to define her legacy for years to come.
