1991 Smash Hit, Born from a Hollywood Blockbuster, Remains an Unmatched Power Ballad 35 Years Later
When Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves premiered in 1991, expectations were already high. Kevin Costner had just swept the awards circuit with Dances with Wolves, earning seven Oscars, including Best Picture and Director, and Golden Globe Awards for Best Picture, Director, and Screenplay. Morgan Freeman was on his way to becoming everyone's favorite actor, Alan Rickman was at the top of his game, and Christian Slater was one of the hottest actors around.
So, the fact that the film, made on a $48 million budget, grossed almost $400 million worldwide, wasn't much of a shock. What did come as a surprise to many was how popular the movie's theme song, Bryan Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" became, and still is, 35 years later.
Breaking Records (and Winning Grammys)Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You," written specifically for Robin Hood, became his most successful single, reaching No. 1 in many countries, including the U.K., the U.S., Australia, Sweden, and Canada. It's 16 consecutive weeks on the Official U.K. Singles Chart still holds the record. In May 2026, the song joined YouTube Music's Billion Views Club, as well.
The song, which Adams said took 45 minutes to write, was nominated for an Oscar and won a Grammy award. Adams told Louder Sound in 2016 that he loved the song, but didn't realize it would take off the way it did. “We [Adams and Mutt Lange] knocked it out, then sat back to listen to it for the first time, and we looked up at one another and grinned," he explained. "Straight away, we knew that we’d written something beautiful, but I had no idea of the impact it would have.”
A Modern Streaming PowerhouseThe song is still popular and gains new fans every day. On Spotify, it's been streamed more than 800 million times. When Ranker asked readers to vote for the Best Ballad of the 90s, "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" came out on top. On YouTube, the official music video has gained 23 million more views since reaching 1 billion views, while the combined viewership of other versions of the song on his page is 652 million.
The Timeless LegacyUltimately, while Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves delivered exactly the box-office success its star-studded pedigree promised, it was Adams’ power ballad that truly stole the show. What began as a 45-minute writing session transformed into an enduring cultural phenomenon, outlasting the film's initial hype and defining an era in music. Decades later, as the song continues to smash streaming milestones and capture new generations of listeners, it remains clear: the movie gave us a blockbuster, but the music gave us a timeless classic.

Jill Vedder, the stunning wife of Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder, is the epitome of glamour in a rare public appearance.
Jill, 48, a philanthropist and former model, was spotted alongside director Steven Spielberg at the opening of the Barack Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, Illinois, on Thursday. While her musician husband took the stage to perform next to fellow icon Bruce Springsteen, Jill exuded elegant glamour in a halter-neck top and black sunglasses.

Do Jill and Eddie Vedder Have Children?Photo by Kevin Mazur on Getty Images
Yes! The couple, who married in 2010, have two daughters: Olivia, 22, and Harper, 17.
Back in 2007, Eddie made it clear that he hoped his little girls would grow up to be activists.
“No matter how good you are, at some point your kids are gonna have to create their own independence and think that mom and dad aren’t cool, just to establish themselves,” the singer told reporters, PEOPLE shared.
The entire family made a rare appearance together last year, hitting up the red carpet at the world premiere of Matter of Time at the Tribeca Festival at the Indeed Theater at Spring Studios in New York City.
What Does Jill Vedder Do For Work?While she started her career as a model, Jill Vedder co-founded the EB Research Partnership (EBRP), a nonprofit dedicated to funding research for Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). The Mayo Clinic defines Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) as a rare inherited condition that causes fragile, blistering skin. The rare and life-threatening genetic skin disorder affects children from birth.
In an Instagram post last year, Eddie Vedder shared the teaser trailer for the documentary Matter of Time, which was set against the backdrop of two concerts the Pearl Jam icon performed to benefit research of the disease, Parade previously reported.

View this post on InstagramThis 1969 Western Was a Massive Hit — And Fans Still Debate It
The violence in R-rated movies just keeps getting bloodier and more realistic, film buffs can agree.
Such grittiness on-screen isn't exactly new, however. Back in the late '60s, renowned director Sam Peckinpah helmed a groundbreaking bloodbath of a Western that's now celebrating 57 years since its release.
On June 18, 1969, The Wild Bunch hit the masses and sparked widespread debates due to its controversial depiction of extreme violence. These days, the Oscar-nominated epic holds an impressive 91% average critics' rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which offers the following synopsis:
"In this gritty Western classic, aging outlaw Pike Bishop (William Holden) prepares to retire after one final robbery. Joined by his gang, which includes Dutch Engstrom (Ernest Borgnine) and brothers Lyle (Warren Oates) and Tector Gorch (Ben Johnson), Bishop discovers the heist is a setup orchestrated in part by his old partner, Deke Thornton (Robert Ryan). As the remaining gang takes refuge in Mexican territory, Thornton trails them, resulting in fierce gunfights with plenty of casualties."
The late, great film critic Roger Ebert gave the film an impressive four out of four stars. While praising the film in his thoughtful review, he also took time to acknowledge how the wildly graphic violence throughout The Wild Bunch was hotly debated from the get-go.
"It has become this year’s controversial film about violence, the successor to The Dirty Dozen, Bonnie and Clyde and the Italian Westerns. It is also, many critics agree, an extraordinary film," he wrote in his August 3, 1969 piece. "I suppose The Wild Bunch is the most violent movie ever made."
He continues, "Thanks to recent advances in special effects, the blood actually spurts when somebody gets shot; there are geysers of blood everywhere... I am aware that the shootings in “The Wild Bunch” are the most realistic ever filmed."
Decades later, an article published by The Guardian goes on to say, "Two orgies of bullets bookend the adventure of an outlaw gang on the Mexican border, setting a new standard for the depiction of violence in its day that persists as dizzyingly intense now."

My 60-Year-Old Mom Struggled With Dry, Crepey Skin—This Body Cream Completely Changed It
Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.
As you get older, your beauty routine needs to evolve. The products that once made your skin feel soft and hydrated may suddenly stop pulling their weight.
Lightweight lotions don’t quite cut it anymore, makeup starts clinging to dry patches you never had before and skin that always felt smooth can suddenly look thinner, duller and noticeably more dehydrated. My mom has been dealing with exactly that over the last year—and honestly, watching it happen made me realize just how much your skin’s needs evolve with age.
My mom, who is 60, has always had naturally healthy-looking skin, the kind that rarely needed much effort. But after the winter we just had, even she started struggling with intense dryness and crepey texture, especially on her arms, neck and under-eyes.
You know the look—skin that starts appearing thin, crinkled and almost papery due to declining collagen, dehydration and years of environmental stress adding up over time. It’s incredibly common, but it can also feel frustrating when your usual products suddenly stop working. At first, she kept layering on the same body lotions she’d always used, but her skin still felt tight and uncomfortable by the end of the day.
That’s when I convinced her to try a richer, more barrier-supportive formula: La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+MAX Triple Repair Moisturizing Body Cream. I picked this one because it felt like the skincare equivalent of calling in reinforcements.
Instead of just sitting on top of the skin, it’s packed with moisture-loving ingredients like shea butter, glycerin and niacinamide that help replenish and support the skin barrier, all while delivering serious hydration. Within days, the difference was obvious. Her skin started looking smoother, calmer and significantly more hydrated, while that dry, fragile texture softened in a way neither of us expected to happen so quickly.
Now, it’s become the one product she tells all her friends about anytime the conversation turns to dry skin—which, apparently, happens a lot in your 60s.
Read on for everything you need to know about the body cream that completely changed her skin.

The Body Cream That Transformed My Mom's SkinLa Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+MAX Triple Repair Moisturizing Body Cream, $22Ulta
Shop It at UltaOnce my mom started using this cream, it quickly became one of those products she refuses to be without.
What immediately stood out was how comforting it felt on the skin without being overly heavy or greasy. A lot of richer creams can sit on top of the skin and feel sticky, but this one absorbed surprisingly well while still delivering that deeply moisturized feeling her skin had been missing. Within a few days, the tightness and rough texture she’d been complaining about started noticeably calming down.
The formula itself is packed with ingredients that make sense for dry, compromised skin, including ceramides, shea butter, glycerin and niacinamide, all of which help support the skin barrier and lock in hydration.
It’s also designed specifically for sensitive skin, which is probably why it felt soothing instead of irritating on areas that had become especially dry and fragile. My mom kept mentioning how much softer and more comfortable her skin felt throughout the day, especially on her arms and neck where the crepey texture had been bothering her most.

3 Reasons Why She Swears by This Beauty Product1. No sticky residueOne of the first things my mom said after trying this cream was, "Wait…why doesn’t this feel greasy?" Which, honestly, is a fair question because most rich body creams tend to leave behind that heavy, sticky layer that makes you immediately regret putting clothes on afterward.
She’s been using this one consistently for a few months now, and the biggest surprise for her has been how quickly it absorbs while still feeling deeply moisturizing. She especially loves applying it in the morning because she can actually get dressed right after without feeling like her clothes are sticking to her arms and legs.
2. Keeps skin hydrated all dayBefore this cream, my mom felt like she was constantly reapplying lotion because her skin would feel dry again by mid-afternoon. After a few weeks of using the La Roche-Posay formula regularly, that cycle completely changed.
The formula gives the cream that long-lasting hydration factor that her skin was clearly missing before, and she started noticing that her skin not only looked smoother overall, but actually stayed feeling hydrated throughout the day instead of tightening back up a few hours later. According to her, the biggest difference has been how much healthier her skin feels now—not just temporarily moisturized, but genuinely more balanced and resilient over time.
3. Safe to use near her grandsonOne thing my mom is incredibly mindful about these days is the products she keeps around my brother's one-month-old son, especially anything heavily fragranced or potentially irritating. So the fact that this cream is dermatologist- and pediatrician-tested immediately made her feel more comfortable using it constantly throughout the day.
She loved knowing it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin and even safe for babies, which made it feel less like some overly aggressive "anti-aging" product and more like a dependable staple she could use without overthinking it. For her, that peace of mind matters just as much as the hydration benefits.

Final TakeawaysWatching my mom regain confidence in her skin has honestly been the biggest takeaway from all of this. What started as her casually complaining about dryness after winter turned into a full hunt for something that actually made her skin feel comfortable again—and this ended up being the product she genuinely stuck with.
She’s now the person reminding me to moisturize, which feels like a full-circle moment considering I was the one who originally handed her the cream. And yes, I use it too—especially during the winter or anytime my skin starts feeling dry, tight or irritated. While my skin doesn’t need the same level of hydration hers does, I keep coming back to it because it’s one of those products that just works without any fuss.
More than anything, watching how much it transformed my mom's skin has been a reminder that aging skin doesn’t necessarily need a dozen complicated products—it often just needs the right kind of support, used consistently.

Whoopi Goldberg Splits From ‘The View’ Panel Over Knicks White House Debate
Whoopi Goldberg had a very different reaction from some of her The View co-hosts during a debate about the New York Knicks visiting the White House.
On the Thursday, June 18 episode, the panel discussed Knicks owner James Dolan accepting an invitation to visit President Donald Trump at the White House after the team's NBA championship win.
The topic quickly split the table.

Goldberg said she wanted every Knicks player to attend the visit.
"I want them to go," she said, according to TV Insider. "I want all those Black men to stand in our house and remind all of those people, as we tried to remind the vice president, that when you try to destroy one part of history, you're destroying all of our histories."
Goldberg said she wanted the players to show up as champions and as people who had been "down and came back up."
"For me, for this moment, it must be about more than him," she added, referring to Trump.
Sunny Hostin Had a Different TakeSunny Hostin disagreed with the idea of the players attending.
According to TV Insider, Hostin said she believed Trump would "politicize" the event.
Alyssa Farah Griffin had a slightly different view. She said she supported the idea of players going, but believed they should have the right to skip the visit without facing pressure or backlash.
The debate followed Dolan's acceptance of the invitation on behalf of the team.
Sara Haines Said the Players Were Put in a Tough Spot THE VIEW - 5/1/24 - Whoopi Goldberg is a guest on "The View" airing on Wednesday, May 1, 2024."The View" airs Monday-Friday, 11am-12 noon, ET on ABC. (ABC/LOU ROCCO) WHOOPI GOLDBERG, SARA HAINES, JOY BEHAR, SUNNY HOSTIN, ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFINGetty
Sara Haines focused on the position the players were placed in once Dolan publicly accepted the invitation.
She said Dolan's friendship with Trump made the situation more complicated for the players.
"I just think it's not fair to take any of the flowers and the beauty of this moment and its unity and try to then place it on the player's backs," Haines said.
The Knicks won their first NBA championship since 1973 earlier this month, defeating the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
The White House visit would mark another high-profile moment for the team, but the panel made it clear that not everyone sees the invitation the same way.
The Visit Has Already Sparked DebateWhite House visits for championship teams have become more politically charged in recent years, especially when players or teams disagree with the sitting president.
That was part of the tension at The View table.
For Hostin, the concern was that Trump would politicize the event. For Haines, the problem was that the players were being pulled into a public decision made by their owner.
Goldberg saw it differently.
She argued that the Knicks showing up could send its own message, separate from Trump.
'RHORI' Reunion Sneak Peek: Jo-Ellen Claims Rulla's Husband Used 'AI' to Hide Affair (Exclusive)
Rumors of Rulla Nehme Pontarelli's husband Brian Pontarelli's affair have been swirling all throughout the first season of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, and one thing is holding true: Jo-Ellen Tiberi remains at the eye of the storm.
As seen in an exclusive clip of the RHORI Season 1 reunion obtained by Parade, things are kicking off between Rulla and Jo-Ellen, but this time, Rulla is coming with receipts.
"I actually have Brian's surgery records for the day that alleged video was taken," Rulla tells Executive Producer Andy Cohen. "His whole entire schedule."
"Okay, well, we're taking a five-minute break," Cohen replies, sounding, honestly, a little burnt out.
The video in question? A clip Jo-Ellen received and later shared with the larger group that shows Rulla's husband of 11 years, Brian, intimately hugging and kissing another woman. Notably, the video pans to the dashboard of a vehicle that shows that the date and time is allegedly just one day prior to the highly dramatic polo match the cast attended.
"It's impossible!" Jo-Ellen says in response to Rulla's surgery record receipts.
"Okay, Jo-Ellen, anybody can change a date on their dash and everything," Rulla quips back.
Despite what Jo-Ellen's video appears to show, Rulla is convinced that the affair with the woman she once referred to in a Parade interview as a "cockroach" is old news. She'd originally found out about the affair in December of 2024 after her co-star, Liz McGraw, sent her Instagram screenshots of the mistress sitting on Brian's lap, kissing him.
The affair came as quite a shock to Rulla.
"He was home with me," she explained on The Real Housewives of Rhode Island After Show. "And he'd be around on the weekends, most weekends. He was home every single night. He never slept out. ... So, you know, you'd think maybe sometimes a guy will take a vacation, he'll disappear for a bit, he won’t call you all day, you know. It was very bizarre."
Jo-Ellen has steadfastly believed that the affair is not, in fact, old news.
"He prints out AI things for you and tells you he's going to aesthetic conferences," Jo-Ellen tells Rulla in the clip. "And he goes with [the mistress]."
"That was before!" Rulla retorts.
She goes on to say that Brian hasn't been to a conference in some time.
"You're delusional," Jo-Ellen replies.

As the pair argue, the other Housewives on the soundstage appear to dissociate in an attempt to stay out of it.
"You didn't even see the video," Jo-Ellen reasons with Rulla.
"It doesn't matter," Rulla says. "It was done."
This brings Jo-Ellen to a whole new level of heated.
"They didn't stop f---ing until December!" she says. "They were still meeting up in January."
From there, the producers plead with the ladies to stop arguing until they're properly back to taping post-break. They need to bring Brian out to weigh in, they say.
But this doesn't stop Rulla and Jo-Ellen from continuing to go at it.
"I'm so done," Rulla says, walking away. "I'm so done."
Tune in to part one of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island Season 1 reunion on Sunday, June 21 at 9pm EST. The episode will be available the following day to stream on Peacock.

View this post on InstagramPennsylvania Is Officially Under a Quarantine Thanks to a Risky Pest — Is It Still Safe to Travel There?
Pennsylvania’s Agriculture Secretary has issued a quarantine order to protect livestock and pets amid concerns of the New World Screwworm (NWS). While no cases have been reported in Pennsylvania as of this writing, confirmed cases have been reported in Texas and New Mexico. These are the first reported cases in the U.S. in more than 60 years, which is why they're raising concerns.
What is the New World Screwworm?The New World Screwworm is a parasitic fly. Its larvae infest the flesh of living animals, including livestock, pets, and wildlife. Rarely does it impact humans directly. The NWS is unlike many other flies and maggots because it feeds on living tissue, leading to wounds that can quickly become life-threatening if left untreated.
Secretary Russell Redding said to ABC 27, “Taking proactive steps now to strengthen biosecurity and limit unnecessary animal movements from affected areas will help protect our farms and communities.”
While it’s not exactly known how the NWS reached the U.S. this time, some suspect it may be related to illegal cattle smuggling.
Related: What Is the Status of Hantavirus in the U.S.?
Livestock owners, veterinarians, and pet owners are being urged to regularly inspect animals for wounds that don’t heal or show signs of maggot infestation. Any suspicions of NWS should seek veterinary care right away. Ignoring signs can lead to its spread.
Is It Safe to Travel?The quarantine order only affects animals right now. It establishes restrictions on domestic animals entering Pennsylvania from affected states. These include vulnerable animals such as cattle, sheep, goats, horses, dogs, and cats. Health officials are monitoring the situation to determine whether anything needs to change. The quarantine is not affecting summer travel right now.
Pennsylvania remains a top spot for summer travelers. It’s home to Hershey Park and the Poconos. As the largest amusement park in Pennsylvania, Hershey offers plenty of family rides and entertainment, and of course, chocolate! There’s even a boardwalk and plenty of Hershey characters walking around.

The Poconos is a family-friendly spot with resorts, adventure parks, water parks, and much more. There are plenty of outdoor activities like boating, tubing, and more! While families enjoy a Poconos getaway, the area is also known as a romantic destination, offering luxurious amenities such as cozy cabins and couples' resorts.
1986 Rock Anthem, Almost a Piano Ballad, Was Saved by a Songwriter on His Hands and Knees
One of the most sing-along worthy moments in rock history almost never happened.
The song, as everyone knows it, was saved by two men getting on their hands and knees in a recording studio and begging a frontman who didn't believe in his own song.
It all started when Jon Bon Jovi walked into a writing session knowing exactly what he wanted to say. "Jon came in saying, 'I want to write a song about a struggling working-class couple,'" songwriter Desmond Child remembered. The couple in question was based on real people. Jon had friends who had married in high school, a pair named Bonnie and Joe, who were going through genuinely hard times. Their story became Tommy and Gina, a fictional couple holding onto each other through money troubles and their refusal to let go.
The bones of the song came together. The chorus — not so much.
There was pressure on all of this to work. Their previous album had underperformed and the band needed something bigger. What they had, so far, was a piano ballad with a chorus Jon thought was finished.
The line "We've gotta hold on to what we've got" was the entire chorus at first. Jon thought it was done. Child disagreed. "The 'We've gotta hold on' was the first chorus," Child said. "And Jon was happy with that, and I said, 'No, no, no, that's just the B section. Let's write the chorus now.'"
What they came up with next became one of the most unforgettably iconic openings in rock history.
But the fight wasn't over yet. The whole song had been written on the piano, and it definitely sounded like it. Jon just couldn't picture it any other way. He was the frontman of a guitar band, he said. A piano-driven song just wasn't going to work for them.
Child and Richie Sambora disagreed.
The Hands and Knees Moment That Saved an Anthem"We got on our hands and knees, literally, and begged him to at least try it," Child said.
Jon finally gave in. They tried it as a rock track. What Sambora brought to the finished version, beyond the pivotal argument to try it, was the talkbox guitar riff that now opens the song — one of the most recognizable sounds in 1980s rock. In that moment, it became what it was always meant to be.

"Livin' on a Prayer" reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1987 and stayed there for four weeks. It became Bon Jovi's biggest hit and one of those songs that seems to get people up on their feet the moment it comes on. Years later, Jon summed up the impact of the song. It had, he said, "touched more lives than I could have ever dreamt."
That's about right. It works the same way in a stadium, a bar, a car and a wedding reception. It brings people together in a way that only happens when a song is exactly what it needs to be. Two people had to get on their knees to make sure this one was.
After years away, following vocal cord surgery that put his whole career in doubt, Jon Bon Jovi announced in late 2025 that the band was heading back out on tour. The Forever Tour starts at Madison Square Garden in July 2026. It’ll be their first show since Jon's 2022 surgery. "I'm ready and excited," he said.
In a way, it's the same story the song has always been about: someone was told it probably wouldn’t work, refused to accept that, and came out the other side on top.
The man who once had to be talked into believing in his own song is heading back to the stage to sing it again.
The crowd already knows every word and is eagerly awaiting his return.
Experts Say Retirees Are Being Targeted for This 'Business Opportunity'—Here’s Why It Keeps Working
These days, retirees are warned about financial drains like phishing emails or fake IRS calls, but there’s another scheme that can be harder to recognize because it often doesn’t look like a scam at all: multi-level marketing companies, or MLMs.
According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), “An MLM is a type of company that distributes products or services through a network of participants who are typically not employees of the company and do not receive a salary or wage." Instead of a traditional paycheck, participants earn money by selling products—and by recruiting others into the system, building what are known as “downlines.” The FTC also notes that most MLM participants earn little or no profit, with earnings heavily concentrated among those at the top of the structure.
Why MLMs Feel So Familiar to Older AdultsComing of age during the heyday of Tupperware and Avon, direct selling and MLMs feel familiar. Companies like Amway expanded the MLM model, blending product sales with recruitment under an “American Dream” narrative of entrepreneurship, legacy building, and financial independence.

Courtney M. Werning, Esq., Principal at Meyer Wilson Werning spoke with Parade about handling elder financial abuse matters and says a trusted history creates a powerful opening for recruiters. “For an entire generation, direct selling was a legitimate, neighborly way to do commerce,” she explains. “That cultural memory creates a default of trust that today’s MLM operators rely on.”
How Loneliness Becomes a Recruitment ToolThe stress of senior isolation and mental health is also an important factor to consider. Likely to experience major life transitions like retirement, loss of a spouse, or distance from family if they've moved away, seniors might see MLMs as filling the loneliness gap.
“They sell community, ‘sisterhood,’ weekly Zoom calls, conferences, group texts,” Werning explains. “For someone who hasn’t been invited to anything in months, that’s not a sales pitch. That’s a lifeline. The product almost becomes secondary to the connection.”
That sense of belonging can also make it harder to step back and evaluate the financial realities of the opportunity, especially when participation suddenly brings regular social interaction and gives their days purpose.
Why the Pitch Almost Always Comes From Someone You KnowFacing higher costs on fixed retirement savings, retirees might consider a vague MLM pitch that emphasizes flexibility and phrases like “financial freedom” and “residual income.” With the pitch likely coming from a trusted source, the emotional and financial pressure is what makes the model so effective.
"The recruiter is almost always someone they know," Werning says. "Unlike a cold-call broker scam, MLM pitches come from a friend, a church member, a former coworker, a niece. Refusing the pitch feels like refusing the relationship."
The promise of MLMs is simple: income, flexibility, and community. But experts say the reality is more complicated—especially for retirees who are often targeted at moments of transition. MLM schemes fall within a larger pattern of elder financial exploitation that includes investment fraud and other high-pressure schemes .“ The psychology is the same: trust, isolation, shame, and complexity,” Werning says.
Once trust and belonging are part of the pitch, the line between opportunity and risk becomes much harder to see.
Fans Say Publix Bakery's Take on This Viral Trend Is Their 'New Obsession'
Unless you actually live under a rock like Patrick from SpongeBob, you're well aware of the wildly viral dot cakes that have been dominating social media feeds for the past month and a half. They're essentially just single-serving-sized cakes topped with buttercream and completely coated in a layer of multi-colored nonpareil sprinkles. Groundbreaking? Not necessarily. Incredibly trendy and made for viral fame? Absolutely. Despite its almost banal, utter simplicity, dot cakes have taken the internet by storm, with seemingly everyone jumping on the trend and trying to recreate it themselves.
From inventive variations that sub the classic vanilla flavor for cookies and cream or lemon mascarpone to savory versions made with caviar, everyone seems to be in a sprinkle-coated stupor. Even some of our favorite brands, like Crumbl, are cashing in on the viral trend by offering their own versions of the treat that's sure to define this era. The latest chain to jump on the dot cake bandwagon, though, might have cracked the code at making it entirely their own while also cutting the price of the original in half.

That’s right, friends, the Publix bakery just dropped its very own Sprinkle Crunch Shortcake, and it'll only set you back a meager $5. Publix's version consists of two cake layers with buttercream, a generous amount of buttercream in between and on top, and a signature blanket of crunchy sprinkles. In addition to the classic rainbow-coated vanilla flavor, Publix is also offering a chocolate option with monochromatic crisp, chocolatey bits in place of sprinkles.

"Tried one yesterday and it was 🔥," one person gushed. Another called it their "new obsession." That being said, a few fans mentioned not being able to find them at their local store just yet, but according to Publix, you should find them at all bakeries in no time.
Whether you're all in on the dot cake craze or not, Publix rarely misses, and we're sure their take on the viral trend will be no different. So, which flavor are you most excited for, vanilla or chocolate? Personally, we'll take one of each.

Trader Joe's Shoppers Are Calling This New Tropical Dessert 'Addictive'
Walking down the candy aisle at Trader Joe's is always a dangerous game. Just when you think you have your grocery budget under control, the grocery chain drops a brand-new, limited-edition treat that you absolutely have to throw into your cart. The latest summer release swaps out the nutty filling of their famous dark chocolate peanut butter cups for a bright, tropical twist.
The brand-new Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Mango & Passion Fruit Creme Thin Cups ($4.29) just hit store shelves and are getting positive reviews. Shoppers are already buying bags by the armful, with several fans warning that the sweet-and-tangy treats are dangerously addictive.

What to Know About the New Chocolate CupsTrader Joe's
These new sweets are a major twist on their traditional, deep-dish chocolate cups. Instead of a thick, heavy shell, these treats feature a much flatter, coin-like profile. Each piece is just a little wider than a quarter, making them incredibly easy to pop right into your mouth. They are imported from Slovakia and currently retail for $4.29 per 7.04-ounce resealable bag.
Inside the rich, dark chocolate shell is a thin, smooth layer of fruit créme infused with tropical mango and passion fruit flavors. Because the cups are so flat, they are designed to give you a perfect balance of bitter cocoa and tart fruit without feeling too heavy or overly sugary.
A serving size is six pieces, which comes in at 170 calories, making them an excellent option when you just want a quick sweet fix after dinner. Just keep in mind that these are a seasonal item. Trader Joe's has confirmed they will only be available from June through August, meaning you'll need to stock up your pantry before they vanish for the fall.

What Do Trader Joe's Fans Think of the New Candy?Many Trader Joe's shoppers love these bite-sized candies. "These are awesome! They are small, so you can have a couple and not go overboard satisfying your sweet tooth," says one commenter on Facebook. "Those are addictive," raves another Facebook user. Shoppers also love the fact that they're gluten-free.
However, not everyone's sold on the snack. "I tried them and thought they were just ok. I can't taste the fruit at all. The dark chocolate is good, but I wish the fruit flavor had more of a punch," notes one Facebook user. And that's the most common complaint. It needs more fruit, but many would still buy it again despite this minor flaw.
If you want to taste the snappy dark chocolate and vibrant fruit flavors for yourself, this affordable treat is definitely worth adding to your grocery list. Just make sure to check the snack aisle closely on your next shopping trip, because like all of the best limited-edition summer releases at Trader Joe's, this sweet bag won't stay on store shelves for long.

'90s Icon Gave Olivia Wilde Advice After ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ Outrage
Olivia Wilde has set the record straight on what really happened during the promotional tour for Don't Worry Darling and how one 1990s pop culture icon helped her overcome it.
Appearing on an episode of Call Her Daddy, the movie's director explained that she wanted to be more honest at the time, but ultimately decided against it. “I wanted to be like, ‘Can I just talk to people?’” Wilde told Alex Cooper. “Can I just go and say like, ‘That’s not true?’ And it was like, ‘No, that won’t help.’ And that was really hard.”
At the same time, Wilde was also trying to promote the film on behalf of its cast and crew. “I was like, 'It's not about me. It's about this movie that everyone works so hard to make,'” Wilde said. “And I felt like I was working on behalf of hundreds of people who had worked through COVID to make something really difficult.”

The film's press tour quickly hit headlines. Olivia, at the time, was dating the leading man, Harry Styles, which only fuelled interest. Thankfully, she found comfort in her boyfriend, though they split not long after.
“There was all this public madness, but my private life was very far from it,” Wilde said. “And very, actually kind of wholesome and sweet. I had a lot of like real joy and love and happiness during that time. It was like the tornado was right outside the door and if you were inside, you were like, ‘It’s so nice,’ and then you’d open the door and a f------ like cow and a tractor would fly by.”
Olivia found solace in Pamela Anderson's 2023 Netflix documentary, Pamela, A Love Story, which premiered four months after Don't Worry Darling. "After I saw the documentary about Pamela Anderson, I reached out to her, and I was like, ‘Yo, respect. Just want to say big fan, respect.’”
Pamela was aware of some of the public backlash, and wrote back to Olivia with some kind words. “She said, ‘The most rebellious thing you can do is stay soft. Don't let it harden you,’” the Booksmart director recalled.

The speculation around Wilde and her movie peaked when, during the Venice Film Festival, there was a rumour that Styles spat on his co-star Chris Pine. The Star Trekactor denied this happened a year later toEsquire.
That same day, Don't Worry Darling's leading star, Florence Pugh, arrived for a screening but did not pose for any photos with Wilde. The internet was alight with memes, rumors and gossip about what happened behind the scenes. Still, Wilde kept quiet about what happened behind the scenes, even if it made the outrage louder.
“I felt frustrated that I couldn't defend myself, but it also felt like, 'Okay, it's not about you. Just get the movie out,'” she said. “And the pummeling that I took was so insanely disproportionate.”
Still, she understood that people were “looking for evidence to reinforce the narrative” that they’d created about her and were only interested in reinforcing their own opinions. “I don't blame people, because I understand,” Wilde said, admitting that she knew that the anger wasn't directed at her, and “people just removed the human” from the situation.
Olivia is now thankful she didn't speak up about her thoughts during the whirlwind of it all. “I think that my own attempt to be strong and to kind of like rise above it in a way came off as inauthentic,” she said.
Looking back at the drama now, the House actress admitted that she also “didn’t understand the value of vulnerability” at the time. “I actually think there's value in being vulnerable and just being like, ‘Oh, ouch. I don't know, this hurts!’”
She added that her attempts to be strong and rise above the public outrage may have come off “as inauthentic,” explaining, “People are like, ‘You must be hurting. Why are you pretending to not be hurting? … I sense that you're not showing us your pain, and therefore, I’m gonna cause you more pain.’”
Coffee Mate Fans Are Celebrating the Return of This ‘Slam Dunk’ Creamer Flavor
Coffee mate said sKNICKerdoodle in five!
Nope, this—just like Snapple's commemorative bottle—isn't a joke. Coffee mate is really bringing back its Snickerdoodle coffee creamer and while we may not have the New York Knicks to thank for the big comeback, the timing is surely appreciated.
Coinciding with the Knicks' NBA Championship parade on Thursday, June 18, the popular Nestlé brand of creamers revealed it would officially return its cookie-inspired flavor for 2026.
Coffee Mate's Snickerdoodle Creamer Is Returning Very SoonHistorically, the fan-favorite creamer flavor has only been available for a limited time. It was most recently offered this past fall as a Walmart exclusive, alongside several other top-ranking picks.

As its name suggests, Coffee mate’s Snickerdoodle creamer was inspired by the popular Snickerdoodle cookie and features hints of sugar cookie and cinnamon. It's become such a hit over the years that fans couldn't even wait for it to hit shelves before reacting to this latest announcement online.
"Sounds like a slam dunk to me!!" one Instagram user cheered in response to the company's big reveal.
"Yessssssss," another gushed while others were apparently made speechless, leaving only a trail of fire emojis.
View this post on InstagramAn official re-launch date was not immediately available (though the rollout is presumably underway). Whether Coffee mate's Snickerdoodle creamer flavor will launch everywhere the brand is sold in its standard 32-ounce containers or return in its smaller eight-ounce bottles as another store exclusive is also unclear.

1947 Cleanser, Named One of the Best Beauty Products Ever, Remains a Best-Selling Classic 79 Years Later
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, a classic skincare hero originally launched in 1947, remains a best-selling face wash nearly eight decades later. The beloved item was ranked among the greatest beauty products of all time on a list of 100 of the best releases ever by Beauty Inc.’s Women’s Wear Daily.
Published in February 2026, the lineup comprises several heavy-hitters across skincare, makeup, hair styling tools, and more, with the most iconic picks “chosen by the people who know best — beauty industry insiders,” the outlet announced. “These products are all ‘original, and either reimagine or simply imagine something that doesn’t exist,’ said Linda Wells, editor of Air Mail Look and founding editor of Allure, who acknowledged the saturation of today’s market and likened the current rate of new product development to running a marathon at the pace of a sprint.”
The inclusion of Cetaphil's Gentle Skin Cleanser, which sells for around $6.99 (depending on size), is a justifiable choice given its longevity, credibility, and accessibility at retailers: the popular product is rated a near-perfect 4.8/5 stars with over 452K Google reviews. Officially, it’s described by the brand as a cream-formula wash "designed with a dermatologist-backed blend of niacinamide (vitamin B3), panthenol (vitamin B5) and hydrating glycerin to improve the resilience of sensitive skin and reinforce the skin's natural moisture barrier."
It is "clinically proven to provide continuous hydration to protect against dryness" and "formulated with Micellar Technology that gently yet effectively removes dirt, makeup, and impurities," the brand states online. It is also said to preserve the skin's natural pH.
WWD noted that the “results-oriented” buy has become an industry must-have over time: "The derm favorite is Cetaphil’s bestselling gentle cleanser."
Beauty industry professionals also provided insight on why Cetaphil's Gentle Skin Cleanser has become an effective go-to over time for so many users with varying skin types. Namely, it's due to its “simple but effective, trusted formula," Kiana Cruz-Hart, licensed esthetician at Practise NYC, told Parade. "Its non-irritating composition gently but effectively cleanses the skin without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier. The formula contains glycerin, panthenol (vitamin B5), and niacinamide, all of which are essential in maintaining and strengthening the skin barrier, while hydrating and soothing."
"It’s one of those products that you just know exactly what you’re getting each time you use it or go back to it—and it never disappoints,” Cruz-Hart added.
View this post on InstagramMade for all skin types and specifically meant to "defend against 5 signs of skin sensitivity, including dryness, irritation, roughness, tightness, and a weakened skin barrier," it has become known for its hypoallergenic nature that is oil-, fragrance-, and paraben-free. Users claim it helps skin "recover," is lightweight, and smooth.
One loyalist raved over the product online, claiming, "I’ve used countless face washes in my life. Some were too harsh, some broke me out, and some dried my face like I had scrubbed it with sandpaper. Having oily skin, I always thought I needed something that foamed a lot, stripped everything off, and left me with that tight 'squeaky clean' feeling." After continued use, they've become a believer. "After one full year of using it religiously, I can say it changed the way I look at skincare—and changed my skin too," they wrote.
As with most products, however, there are mixed reviews. Some say it's not as good as it seems, with others reporting that it has "highly irritating ingredients," changed their skin texture, causing it to become "rough," and triggered "dry patches."
Sharing more intel about what went into choosing which favorites made the final cut on the roundup, WWD added, “True hero products all share similar attributes. ‘Fundamentally, the product has to be extraordinary, and you need to know how to get the consumer to fall in love,’ said Jane Hertzmark Hudis, executive vice president and chief brand officer at the Estée Lauder Cos. Pointing to formula performance, sensoriality, packaging and marketing, she continued, ‘All of that has to work together in a cogent way to make you love it — not just for the week, but for life. And that’s the difference.’”
Carole Radziwill Filmed 'RHONY' Amid Hulu's 'Love Story' Frenzy
Bravo's cameras were rolling while Hulu's Love Story — which followed the lives and tragic deaths of Carole Radziwill's close friends Carolyn Bessette and John F. Kennedy Jr., and also portrayed her late husband Prince Anthony Radziwill — dominated pop culture, her Real Housewives of New York co-star recently revealed.
"Seeing her overcome what happened with Love Story while our show is being filmed is really interesting," RHONY co-star Erin Lichy told Us Weekly this week.
Radziwill, who will be marking her return to the Bravo show after stepping away for eight years, not only found herself in the spotlight as it was announced she'd soon make her reality TV comeback, but as she was associated with the Hulu show due to her connection to the Kennedys and subsequent friendship with Bessette. (Her late husband was the son Jackie Kennedy's sister, Lee Radziwill.)
And while she would acknowledge her ties to the high-profile family throughout her time on RHONY sporadically, she stayed mum when asked about the show, where actor Erich Bergen played her late husband, who died of cancer just weeks before Bessette and Kennedy's fatal plane crash in 1999.

However, Radziwill did mention in a March New York Times article, that she first found out about the series when an actor auditioning for the role of Anthony asked her for footage or recordings of him to use as prep material.
She also authored a memoir following the death of her husband in 2005, entitled What Remains, which Sarah Pidgeon, the actress who portrayed Bessette, said in an interview that she read.
"It's a beautiful, beautiful book," Pidgeon told Refinery29.

An official premiere date for Season 16 of the show, and when Bravo fans will see Carole back on their screens, has yet to be announced.
Of her addition to the show, Lichy also told the outlet, "Carole is amazing, she really meshes with our group very well. She brings like a whole other element...she can be a little messy, we love it."
Along with Lichy, Sai De Silva and Jessel Taank will be returning. Joining them will be newbies Erika Hammond, Daisy Toye and Hailey Glassman.
