Why Did Kim Kardashian Help This Netflix Star Learn How To Take a ‘Gorgeous’ Selfie?
Kim Kardashian is helping her good friend Lonnie "The Hawk” Hawkins take a selfie…and fans can’t stop laughing.
Who is Lonnie “The Hawk” Hawkins?No, “The Hawk” isn’t some new instant-celeb. He’s a character played by none other than the iconic actor Will Ferrell.
Ferrell is set to star in a brand-new made-for-Netflix streaming series, The Hawk. The comedy follows fictional former pro golfer Lonnie “The Hawk” Hawkins as he makes a comeback two decades after his 2004 championship season.
Along with Ferrell, the series stars Molly Shannon, Jimmy Tatro, Fortune Feimster, Luke Wilson, Chris Parnell, Katelynn Tarver, David Hornsby, Gabriel Hogan, and Aida Osman.
Not only is Ferrell starring in the show, but he is also the series creator and executive producer. And if you’re wondering about the authenticity of this golf-filled comedy, according to Netflix, the PGA Tour is one of the series’ partners.
What did Kim Kardashian post on Instagram?Kim K is no stranger to the perfect pose. After all, she’s made quite a career for herself taking selfies. And now she’s sharing her knowledge with Ferrell’s “The Hawk” character in an absolutely hilarious Instagram post.
The video starts with “The Hawk” sheepishly saying, “I’ve never taken a selfie before. I don’t know what I’m doing here.”
View this post on InstagramThe KUWTK reality TV star/entrepreneur directs Ferrell, saying, “Chin down…but like, stick your neck out a little to make it, yeah, a little, what’s your good side?” And “The Hawk” responds, “I don’t know. Does anyone have a good side?”
Clearly, it’s not going well for “The Hawk.” And that means Kim needs to take over and model for him. Ferrell turns the camera and, to the sound of applause, Kardashian appears.
As “The Hawk” tries to recreate Kim’s pose, she says, “Let me add a filter.” What does “The Hawk” think of himself with a filter? He exclaims, “Oh my god, I look amazing. I’m gorgeous.”
Fans, friends, and plenty of other famous faces commented on Kim’s post. And that’s probably because “The Hawk” added this caption: “My name is Lonnie Hawkins. This is an Instagram post. Please comment if I posted it. Thank you Kim for helping me post. Is this going through? Can people see it. Comment below if you can see this post, Please use all caps.”
Khloe Kardashian wrote, “I love this man,” and the PGA Tour (following the post’s instructions) added, “I CAN SEE THIS POST.”
Will Ferrell’s The Hawk is available to stream exclusively on Netflix starting July 16.

1964 Folk Classic That Became the Shortest Single Ever to Hit the Charts Was by a Pioneering All-Female Band
While some of the biggest hits in music history have been on the long side (like "American Pie" and "Hey Jude"), other songs to climb the charts over the years have been surprisingly brief. In fact, back in 1964, a classic folk track from a pioneering all-female group made history by becoming the shortest single to ever hit the Billboard Hot 100.
Originally written by singer-songwriter Malvina Reynolds in 1962, "Little Boxes" was first recorded by folk icon Pete Seeger and went on to become his only charting single, peaking at #70 in 1964. Seeger's version, which clocks in at just around 2 minutes, was pretty short to begin with. But that same year, another act would release their own take on "Little Boxes" — and that one was even shorter.
Hailing from Los Angeles, California, The Womenfolk were a unique group in the mid-60s, simply because (as the band's name implies), all the members were women. Though they weren't incredibly commercially successful, their cover of "Little Boxes" managed to land at #83 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964, making history in the process: At just 1 minute and 1 second long, the track became the shortest single to hit the charts...and it held that honor for decades.
To be fair, "Little Boxes" doesn't have a ton of lyrics, so it makes sense that The Womenfolk's cover would be short. In just a few lines, the satirical anthem delivers a scathing sendup of suburbia in a surprisingly upbeat way:
Little boxes on the hillside / Little boxes made of ticky tacky / Little boxes on the hillside / Little boxes all the same / There’s a green one, then a pink one, and a blue one and a yellow one / And they’re all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same
(If you're one of the many people who've always casually wondered what "ticky tacky" was but never bothered to find out, it was a term for low-quality materials used to build houses.)
According to Reynolds' daughter, Nancy Schimmel, her mother got the idea for the song when she drove past a row of houses like those described in the song. But since Reynolds was already a singer-songwriter, why didn't she just record the song herself? As Schimmel explained in a 2020 interview with Berkeley Podcast for Music, misogyny in the music industry was mostly to blame.

"[Seeger] had been performing since the ’30s," Schimmel said. "He was a performer. He wasn’t really a songwriter. But there was a prejudice. It was definitely misogyny, but it was particularly against someone of her age. I mean, a man her age would have been okay. But for a woman of her age to try to get into music, she had started out singing folk songs, but as soon as she started writing her own songs, she sang them. And when she started touring in the ’60s, she never sang anything but her own songs."
"She started before there was the term 'singer-songwriter,'" Schimmel added.
"So, you know, she was a woman singing songs she wrote. She has been referred to, and in fact was referred to in one of her obituaries, as a blues singer. She had written a couple blues and she’d written some bluesy songs like 'No Hole in My Head.' But I think maybe it’s because of her age. It’s okay for women blues singers to be older, to be middle-aged. But it’s not OK for women pop singers to be older. They have to be young. And she was as much influenced by the pop music of her time as she was by the folk music. She’d heard both."
While Reynolds might not be a household name today, "Little Boxes" is an impressive legacy — even if it's no longer the shortest song ever to hit the charts. In 2025,Jack Black broke the record for shortest tune ever to make the Billboard Hot 100 with "Steve's Lava Chicken" from the Minecraft movie, lasting just 34 seconds, per NPR.

1971 Rock Classic With Iconic Guitar Riff Became a Breakthrough Radio Anthem, Despite Never Reaching No. 1
Fifty-five years ago, the legendary '70s heavy rock band Led Zeppelin released "Black Dog," a song that became a breakthrough radio hit despite never quite capturing the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100.
Released in the U.S. on December 2, 1971 as a single from their landmark fourth studio album Led Zeppelin IV, "Black Dog" quickly became a fan favorite. Upon its release, it entered the Billboard Hot 100, climbing up the chart until it peaked at No. 15 in February 1972. In total, the track spent 12 weeks on the chart.
John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin performing on stage circa 1977."Black Dog" originally experienced high listener demand due to its immediate popularity on the airwaves. Because Led Zeppelin rarely released commercial singles in their home country, the song was initially spun by American disc jockeys directly from the album.
Following its U.S. commercial release, the song became a staple on major rock radio stations like WMMR in Philadelphia, KSJO and KOME in the San Francisco Bay Area and WNEW-FM in New York, with many DJs holding an affinity for its high-energy appeal and iconic instrumentation.
Produced by the band's lead guitarist, Jimmy Page, through Atlantic Records, "Black Dog" is most notable for its legendary guitar riff. The riff, written by bassist John Paul Jones while on a train, opens the song with a bang, instantly engaging listeners with its gritty, rhythmically complex melody. The guitar lick repeats throughout the duration of the track, lacing the heavy instrumentation with its earworm quality.
Written by Robert Plant, Page and Jones, "Black Dog" is—contrary to its title—not at all about dogs. The song explores the intoxicating desire to chase a woman's love, utilizing autobiographical lyricism about a passionate night Plant spent with an unexpected partner.
The track's title was originally a casual placeholder named after a black labrador that would hang out on the Headley Grange studio grounds during recording. After a while, the title ended up sticking as the iconic name we know today.
Over five decades after its release, "Black Dog" continues to resonate with audiences. In the digital era, the song perseveres on streaming platforms, racking up over 490 million streams on Spotify alone—a testament to the track's unique enduring quality.

’80s Rock Band Releases New Music 20 Years After the Album That Inspired It
Like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, Tesla got their start covering the bands who came before them. So, it should come as no surprise that 40 years later, the band are returning to their roots with a full-length studio album dedicated almost entirely to covering some of music’s greatest artists. We use the word almost, because the 14-track tribute kicks off with a Tesla original.
Unveiled today, along with a polished new music video, “Never Alone” is a heartfelt, acoustic-driven rock anthem akin to Tesla’s 1989 smash, “Love Song.” Inspired by the band’s first tribute album, Real to Reel, released nearly 20 years ago, the song was written by bassist Brian Wheat and bridges the band’s storied four-decade career with a universal message of human connection.
In a chat with Blabbermouth, Wheat reveals that he wrote the song “in the 11th hour” of recording Homage, while at celebrity cook Rachael Ray and musician John Cusimano’s home.
“It started out as a simple guitar riff,” he says. “I picked up John's acoustic guitar and started strumming these chords to kill some time. When I listened back to it, it sounded like a Tesla song.”
From there, he and frontman Jeff Keith added the finishing touches and ended up with a track that “turned out pretty good,” he says. He adds that they recorded the song, because they want their fans to know they’re “never alone.”
The lead single prefaces a slew of covers paying homage to truly the greatest artists of our time. From Sam Cooke’s “Bring It On Home” and Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “The Ballad of Curtis Loew,” to Etta James’ “I’d Rather Go Blind” and Queen’s “Spread Your Wings,” the album transcends time and genres. You can get a sneak peek at Tesla’s Queen cover here and the full tracklist below.
“‘Spread Your Wings’ for me was the song I always wanted to record by Queen,” Wheat said in May, per Blabbermouth. “I always felt it was the one song they had in their catalog that should've been a massive hit, but wasn't because it was overshadowed by 'We Are the Champions' and 'We Will Rock You' on the News of the World album.”
Homage is set for a July 17 release date via Frontiers Music Srl. Touted as a “thank-you expressed through music,” the LP gives Keith the stage to show off his vocals and the band an opportunity to celebrate the legendary artists who helped shape Tesla into the multi-platinum rock band they are today.
View this post on Instagram“Homage is … an offering to the great singers and songs that shaped the music we grew up listening to, and the songs we would eventually write,” Wheat says. “We hope you all enjoy this as much as we did making it. Thank you for all the years — keep it real and keep on rockin’!”

1987 No. 1 Hit, Originally Intended as a Holiday Song, Remains a Timeless Breakup Anthem
36 years ago today, on June 16, 1990, Roxette’s soaring pop classic, “It Must Have Been Love,” became a massive international No. 1 hit for the Swedish pop duo, made up of Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle.
The beloved track about lost love was written by Gessle, and reached the top of the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it stayed for two weeks before getting replaced by New Kids on the Block’s “Step by Step.”
But “It Must Have Been Love” may have never achieved that success had it not been for a few minor changes, which ultimately added to its universal appeal.
Originally released as a standalone single in December of 1987, “It Must Have Been Love”, according to American Songwriter, was first written as a Christmas song per a request given by the duo’s EMI record label.
Initially titled “It Must Have Been Love (Christmas for the Broken Hearted),” the song, which now exists in five different versions, became a Top 5 hit in Sweden before it was later re-worked specifically for the soundtrack of the 1990 romantic comedyPretty Woman, starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere.
Slightly altering the mix, eliminating the holiday theme, and adjusting the title to the shortened: “It Must Have Been Love,” paid off for the act as their song went on to make waves outside of their home country, reaching No. 1 in Canada, Denmark, Australia, Norway, Switzerland, Spain, Zimbabwe, as well as in the U.S.
“It Must Have Been Love,” which appears on the duo's 1997 re-released album Pearls of Passion, is highly regarded as Roxette’s signature song. The track serves as one of four songs that topped the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. The other three tracks include “Listen to Your Heart,” “The Look,” and “Joyride.”
The Who Called This Rock Legend Known as 'Thunderfingers' the World's Greatest Bass Player
The Who is playing favorites, naming original band member John Entwistle the world's greatest bass player. Known by the nicknames "Thunderfingers" and "The Ox," Entwistle helped redefine the role of the bassist, transforming it from a background instrument into a technically demanding and integral part of rock music. The music legend died in 2002, but his impact is still felt today, and his status as one of the greatest bass players ever remains secure, at least according to his former bandmates.
John Entwistle was an original member of The Who alongside Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, and Keith Moon. A childhood friend of Townshend, the two began making music together as early as age 10.

Why John Entwistle Changed Bass Playing ForeverHis influence can still be heard in modern rock, heavy metal, and progressive music. His powerful melodic bass playing elevated the bass guitar from a supporting instrument to a lead voice within a band. The Who's praise for Entwistle as the world's greatest bass player echoes the opinions of many critics and fellow musicians who continue to rank him among the best to ever play the instrument.
His contributions to songs such as "My Generation" and "The Real Me" are still studied and replicated by aspiring bassists today.

From Rush's Geddy Lee and Iron Maiden's Steve Harris to Yes bassist Chris Squire and Motörhead's Lemmy Kilmister, countless musicians adopted aspects of Entwistle's signature style, making his work a benchmark for technical excellence and creativity.
More than 100 commenters shared their reactions to The Who naming Entwistle the world's greatest bass player, with one writing, "Thunderfingers & no argument best bass guitarist ever," and another adding, "Finally a post where he's getting his respect."
"Best bass player ever," added another fan.
John Entwistle's Legacy Lives OnMore than two decades after his death, John Entwistle's legacy continues to resonate throughout rock music. One of the most respected musicians in rock history, his innovative playing style helped establish The Who's legendary sound and elevated the role of the bass player for future generations.
Townshend, Daltrey, and Moon may have often commanded the spotlight, but John Entwistle is frequently viewed as The Who's secret weapon, whose innovation, musicianship, and influence are still felt today.

’80s Country Classic, Named No. 1 Hit for One Week, Was Just Reimagined by Ella Langley
Country music fans got an unexpected highlight at Braves Country Fest when Ella Langley and Cody Johnson joined forces to perform Reba McEntire’s classic hit “Whoever’s in New England.”
The surprise duet took place during Johnson’s set at Truist Park in Atlanta on June 13 and quickly became one of the most talked-about moments of the festival.
Originally released in 1986, “Whoever’s in New England” served as the title track of Reba McEntire’s breakthrough album of the same name. The song reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart and became one of the defining records of McEntire’s career. It also earned her a Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance and received Country Music Association nominations for Single of the Year and Music Video of the Year.

Langley and Johnson’s version introduced the classic ballad to a new generation of listeners while honoring the emotional storytelling that made the original recording a country music landmark.
The collaboration was especially meaningful given Johnson’s history with the song. The country star previously recorded an acoustic version of “Whoever’s in New England” in 2020. In 2023, McEntire herself joined Johnson onstage at CMA Fest to perform the track together.
View this post on InstagramAt Braves Country Fest, Johnson welcomed Langley for a fresh interpretation of the classic, creating a moment that immediately resonated with fans in attendance and across social media.
The duet stood out among a lineup that also included performances from Ernest, Mackenzie Carpenter, Scoot Teasley, Zach John King and Colton Bowlin. The event benefited the Atlanta Braves Foundation.
Ella Langley’s Record-Breaking Year ContinuesThe performance arrives during a historic run for Langley, who has become one of country music’s fastest-rising stars.
Her hit single “Choosin’ Texas” has dominated the charts throughout 2026. The song spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and established a new Hot Country Songs record for the longest-leading hit by a woman without additional credited recording artists since the chart became the genre’s primary songs ranking in 1958.
Langley’s success has extended beyond a single hit. She recently became the first female country artist to simultaneously hold three songs inside the top 10 of Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. Her current chart presence includes “Be Her,” “Choosin’ Texas” and her collaboration with Morgan Wallen, “I Can’t Love You Anymore.”
The Alabama native also collected several major honors at the Academy of Country Music Awards, including Female Artist of the Year, Artist-Songwriter of the Year, Song of the Year and Single of the Year.
Just days before the Braves Country Fest appearance, Langley joined Reba McEntire and Miranda Lambert for ELLE’s Three Generations conversation, where the artists discussed songwriting, mentorship, and the growing support system among women in country music.
During that discussion, Langley reflected on the challenges women can face in the industry.
“I think, you know, sometimes being a woman is a little tougher to get crawl up the chain,” Langley said. “But when we all do it together, you know what I mean? [We’re] lot more powerful in numbers.”
Forty years after Reba McEntire turned “Whoever’s in New England” into a signature hit, Ella Langley and Cody Johnson reminded country music fans why the song remains one of the genre’s most enduring classics.

Kurt Russell Admits His Most Beloved Cult Classic Movies Were Originally ‘Dead on Arrival’
At 75 years old, Kurt Russell is enjoying his time on TV.
The actor recently spoke to Deadlineat the Monte-Carlo TV Festival, where he received the prestigious Crystal Nymph award.
“I hadn’t done any television for over 50 years when I did Monarch, and then TheMadison,” the actor shared.
He currently stars as Preston Clyburn in Paramount+'s 2026 series The Madison. It follows a family after they suffer a difficult tragedy and move from New York City to the Madison River Valley of Central Montana.
“You keep finding yourself saying, ‘I know that moment,’ or ‘I know those people,’” he said.
“It’s really an adult-themed show, because you can’t really appreciate [the story] until you have something like that happen to you at a certain time in your life,” he said. “I’ve never done anything like The Madison in terms of how it hits people.”
The show was created by Taylor Sheridan, who also made Yellowstone, 1883, and Lioness. Russell admires the relatability of his work. Adding the showrunner attracts “the silent majority.”
The Madison stars Michelle Pfeiffer, Kurt Russell, BeauGarrett, Patrick J. Adams, and ElleChapman.
The Tombstone actor spoke highly of his castmates as well.
“Very few people have the opportunity to have a wonderful 40-year marriage, but where you had no idea how wonderful it was, like Michelle’s character [Stacy Clyburn]. How do you show that, how do you talk about that? She’s so wrought with not just guilt, but angst and anger at herself for not getting all of him,” he said.
The neo-Western series has seen commercial success, debuting with 8 million views worldwide. It was Sheridan’s most-watched season launch.
Russell reflected on how his previous projects performed.
“A lot of the movies that I did that became truly beloved or cult classics were just dead on arrival, or they didn’t do very well [at first]. Had it not been for DVDs, my career would have been completely different,” he said. “I probably have 12 or 15 movies that are in the zeitgeist [and] people love, not from the release of the movie, but from finding it years later.”

While fans may associate Vanderpump with extravagant, maximalist décor and over-the-top menus, she says the real challenge wasn't choosing statement pieces, it was obsessing over the details guests might never notice.
"Everything," Vanderpump tells Parade about what she weighed in on throughout the design process. "Down to the valet parker's badge on his left shoulder. I mean, everything."
According to Vanderpump, she and husband Ken Todd personally oversaw thousands of decisions throughout the project, from staff uniforms and color palettes to lighting and room layouts.
"There were probably a thousand decisions," she explains. "The cohesiveness, trying to make it all work together."
She says she focused on creating rooms that feel like a retreat from the sensory overload of the Las Vegas Strip.
"When you open the door, you feel like, 'Oh,'" she shares. "And I like that. That's what we went for."
Vanderpump even jokes that she prioritizes guest comfort so much at home that visitors sometimes overstay their welcome.
"I pay great attention to the guest bedrooms to make sure they're really comfortable, which is probably like a rod for my own back, because when they're too comfortable, they stay too long," she laughs.
That philosophy ultimately shaped the entire hotel experience. From British-inspired décor in the lobby to personalized touches throughout the property, Vanderpump wanted guests to feel less like they were checking into a massive Las Vegas resort and more like they were stepping into someone's carefully curated home.
"I think this whole hotel, when you check into the lobby, you feel like you're almost in somebody's home," she tells Parade.
For Vanderpump, that's the true luxury. Not just extravagance, but making guests feel comfortable the moment they walk through the door. And I got to experience this hospitality myself. Here's my honest review of The Vanderpump Hotel.

Is The Vanderpump Hotel Open?Yes! The Vanderpump Hotel is officially open as of Thursday, June 11, 2026. Bookings are available online.

Where Is The Vanderpump Hotel in Las Vegas?Lisa Vanderpump jokes that The Vanderpump Hotel sits on the “fifty yard line” of the Las Vegas Strip, and she’s right. The hotel is situated between The Flamingo and Paris resorts, and across the street from the iconic Bellagio fountains and Caesars Palace.
Many activities and restaurants are within a 15-minute walking distance, including easy walkability to all of the Vanderpump Vegas bars and restaurants.
Location: 5/5Caesars Entertainment
What Was The Vanderpump Hotel Called Before?Prior to its revamp, The Vanderpump Hotel was called The Cromwell, but the hotel space itself has had several iterations in its lifetime.
The hotel has been a mainstay on the Las Vegas Strip since 1979 when it originally opened as Barbary Coast. In 2007 the hotel was acquired by Harrah’s and became Bill’s Gambling Hall & Saloon. It went through major renovations in 2013 before reopening as The Cromwell in 2014.
This makes The Vanderpump Hotel the fourth iteration of the hotel.
RoomsCaesars Entertainment
The Vanderpump Hotel may be rated as a 4-star hotel, but the plushness of the towels is very much giving 5-stars. We should expect nothing less from someone as fancy as Lisa Vanderpump, of course!
The beds are plush, yet firm, the perfect balance to avoid back pain, but maximize comfort. It doesn’t hurt that the hotel provides nightly turn-down service. There’s something about climbing into a freshly made bed that feels like perfection.
The hotel features 188 guest rooms, including several pet-friendly rooms. There are 167 standard guest rooms and 21 suites.
Caesars Entertainment
Decor-wise, the hotel rooms are a nice reprieve from the chaos that is Vegas. While much of the hotel is moody and “sexy” as Vanderpump says, the rooms are meant to elicit a sense of serenity. They’re decorated in dusty purples, greens and whites and all of the furniture is bespoke by Vanderpump’s business partner Nick Alain.
The bathrooms are spacious and feature a rainfall showerhead and large, glass standing shower.
Comfort: 5/5Amenities"I wanted the turn-down service. I wanted the chocolate on the bed. I wanted the plush bathrobe. I wanted room service," Vanderpump tells Parade. "I could tick every one of those boxes."
Room ServiceThe Vanderpump Hotel has proper room service delivered from Giada, the Italian restaurant by Food Network star Giada De Laurentiis. While many Vegas hotels have opted for a service more like Uber Eats or Doordash with paper bags dropped by your door, The Vanderpump has full-on room service, silver trays and real silverware included.
PoolThe hotel features a rooftop pool named Soleia Beach. It’s a large pool with sweeping views of The Strip. There are cabanas and daybeds available for rental, along with plenty of lounge chairs. This isn’t where you’re going to find that “party” vibe—instead, think ambient music versus an EDM DJ set.
Prior to The Vanderpump Hotel’s opening, Soleia Beach was Drai’s Beachclub & Nightclub. Drai’s vibe was much higher energy, with hip hop DJ sets.
NightlifeIf you’re looking for more of a party, Drai’s After Hours nightclub is located in the basement of the property. It’s a swanky lounge environment with red crocodile-patterned seats, disco balls and a DJ keeping the dance floor going. It’s also a Las Vegas staple—it’s the longest-running nightclub in the city.
The Vanderpump Hotel property once had two Drai’s properties—Drai’s After Hours and Drai’s Beachclub & Nightclub. The rooftop pool beachclub has since been changed to Soleia Beach.
Does The Vanderpump Hotel Have a Spa?Being a boutique hotel, the footprint is quite a bit smaller than some of the monstrosities along The Strip. This means The Vanderpump Hotel doesn’t have a spa of its own. But have no fear! There are plenty of spas within walking distance of the hotel.
We highly recommend QUA Baths & Spa at Caesars Palace for mind-blowing massages, a variety of pools, and contrast thermal therapy.

Where To Eat and Drink When Staying at The Vanderpump HotelNikki Ryan Photography
GigoloLisa Vanderpump’s cocktail menus are always spectacular and Gigolo, the lobby bar at The Vanderpump Hotel, is no exception. The menu features Vanderpump classics like the Pumptini, as well as fun new takes on cocktails.
Gigolo is best for a snack or appetizer. They serve caviar and a snack plate with dip, homemade potato chips and churro almonds.
Nikki Ryan Photography
One standout is Gigolo’s signature cocktail, the Hush Hush, a spicy strawberrymargarita that requires you to write a secret and tuck it away in a locked box.
Drinks: 5/5Caesars Entertainment
GiadaThere’s one main restaurant on property at The Vanderpump Hotel, Giada. The restaurant itself is very good, with decadent pasta dishes (like cacio e pepe served inside a cheese wheel!) The restaurant also features some of the best views of the strip, including the faux Eiffel Tower at the Paris Hotel.
StarbucksAside from Giada, there is a Starbucks serving baked goods and egg bites and the like. It’s good for a quick breakfast, but be warned! Las Vegas Starbucks pricing will even give a New Yorker pause.
Nearby RestaurantsConveniently, the hotel is located just steps from Pinky’s by Vanderpump, the pink and green art deco bar and restaurant. They’re excellent for a brunch or dinner option. It’s a must for bachelorette parties hitting the Strip.
Other nearby favorites include Nobu for sushi and fish dishes that are to die for. The Black Cod Miso is a 10/10. There are two Nobu locations within walking distance of The Vanderpump Hotel, one at Caesars Palace and one at Paris.
Stanton Social Prime is an Italian steakhouse with stunning decor. You can really ball out here with a seafood tower and tomahawk steak (which they light on fire in front of you!) or keep it simpler with one of their decadent pastas. Stanton Social Prime is just across the street from The Vanderpump Hotel at Caesars Palace.
In-House Food Options: 3/5Related: 'Caesars Palace in Las Vegas Is Iconic for a Reason—Here's What Blew Me Away the Most'
How Much Does It Cost To Stay at The Vanderpump Hotel?Pricing for the hotel is as low as $130/night, but can go all the way up to $550+ on a busy weekend. Weeknight pricing seems to hover around $200/night. If you’re catching it on the lower end of pricing, it’s a great deal for the money.
Value: 4/5Caesars Entertainment
The Vanderpump Hotel Review: My Final ThoughtsIf you are a Bravo or Lisa Vanderpump fan, a stay at The Vanderpump Hotel is a must. We’re betting BravoCon 2027 is about to be booked and busy!
If you’re not a Bravo fan, per se, but are looking for a nice hotel with loads of glam at a fair price-point, The Vanderpump Hotel is still a great option for you. Between its prime location, in-house amenities and excellent lobby bar, it’s an easy win.

'70s Rock Classic Is Suddenly Climbing the Charts After 50 Years
Creedence Clearwater Revival's greatest hits collection returns to the Billboard 200 nearly five decades after its release
A rock album first released in 1976 is once again making noise on the charts.
Creedence Clearwater Revival's Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits has climbed to No. 43 on the Billboard 200 chart dated June 20, 2026, rising from No. 50 the previous week.
The renewed chart success comes almost 50 years after Fantasy Records originally released the compilation in January 1976.
The album's latest placement adds another chapter to one of the most remarkable chart runs in rock history. According to Billboard data, Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits has now spent 802 weeks on the Billboard 200, making it one of the longest-charting albums ever.

The collection reached a peak position of No. 18 on the charts during its chart run and continues to outperform many newer releases, decades after its initial release.
Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits was designed as a complete collection of the band's biggest chart successes. The compilation includes 20 songs, featuring 13 A-sides and seven B-sides from Creedence Clearwater Revival's peak years.
Among the tracks included are classics such as "Proud Mary," "Bad Moon Rising," "Green River," "Down on the Corner," "Fortunate Son," "Travelin' Band," "Who'll Stop the Rain," "Up Around the Bend," "Lookin' Out My Back Door" and "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?"
The band's commercial success during the late 1960s and early 1970s remains impressive. Creedence Clearwater Revival scored 16 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, including nine Top 10 hits. Several of their best-known singles narrowly missed the top spot, with songs such as "Proud Mary," "Bad Moon Rising," "Green River," "Travelin' Band/Who'll Stop the Rain" and "Lookin' Out My Back Door/Long As I Can See The Light" all reaching No. 2.
The compilation also features an edited version of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," which was released as a single at the same time as the album in 1976.
The album's staying power has become one of the defining parts of Creedence Clearwater Revival's legacy.
Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits is certified 12-times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), representing at least 12 million certified units in the United States. It remains the best-selling release in the band's catalog.
The collection has maintained a steady presence on the Billboard 200 for years. It surpassed the 600-week milestone in 2022 and crossed the 750-week mark in June 2025. Now, with 802 total weeks on the chart, the album continues to attract listeners long after the band's original run ended.
Creedence Clearwater Revival was formed in El Cerrito, California, and consisted of John Fogerty, Tom Fogerty, Stu Coop and Doug Clifford. The group became one of America's most successful rock acts between 1969 and 1971, producing a string of hit singles and albums that helped define the roots rock sound.
Their influence continues to be recognized decades later. Rolling Stone ranked the band among its greatest artists of all time, while songs such as "Fortunate Son," "Proud Mary," "Who'll Stop the Rain" and "Bad Moon Rising" remain staples of classic rock radio.
As the album rises once again on the Billboard 200, Creedence Clearwater Revival's music continues to find a place alongside today's biggest releases.

Jen Hamilton Shuts Down 'Fake' Reports Following Marriage News
After screenshots began circulating online, claiming to be past comments made by Jen Hamilton, the labor and delivery nurse called them out as fake.
"Someone is creating fake screenshots of me saying horrible things," Hamilton shared via Instagram on Tuesday, June 16. "I have never and would never say anything like this. Please report any posts you see about this."
The comment in question was regarding political differences between nurses and patients.
View this post on InstagramWhile Hamilton previously endorsed former Vice President Kamala Harris and Tim Walz during the 2024 presidential election, she made it clear that political affiliation did not change the way she treats her patients.
"The second thing that I mentioned is very important to me is my patients and the ability of my patients to make the decisions that they need to make for themselves," she said in a September 2024 TikTok video, adding, "even if I don't agree."
View this post on InstagramThe update comes just one day after the influencer confirmed her separation from husband Brian Hamilton.
"Yes, we are separating. This comes with enormous pain for the both of us but also gratitude for the 15 years of shared history, love, and friendship," she shared on Monday. "What we are committed to is loving each other well through this transition and placing the wellbeing of the family we created at the center."
The joint statement continued, "We are hoping our paths diverging in physical location will make space and room for mental healing for the other. We are still committed to being a team…This wasn’t a falling out of love. That’s why this is so devastating. It was about recognizing that sometimes the most loving thing you can do is give someone space to figure out complex things. And that’s exactly what we are doing."
The couple tied the knot in August 2012 after meeting while working as camp counselors. They welcomed two sons throughout their 14-year marriage.
Kyle Busch's Wife Says Late NASCAR Star Is Sending Her Signs After His Death
Samantha Busch is sharing the "signs" she believes late husband Kyle Busch is sending her and how they've been bringing her "comfort" since his tragic death at the age of 41 last month.
Three weeks after the NASCAR driver died on May 21 following a case of bacterial pneumonia that progressed into sepsis, his wife took to her Instagram with a heartfelt message about feeling his presence even after his passing.
Thanking her followers for sharing their memories of Kyle over the past few weeks, Samantha said she wanted to share "some moments that brought me comfort over these unimaginably hard weeks."
Samantha explained that after 11-year-old son Brexton's birthday party in mid-May, Kyle had taken off his sandals in their bathroom, and that no one had ever moved them. (The couple also shares 4-year-old daughter Lennix.)
"About a week after he passed, I had one of the hardest nights yet. Most of the night, I spent sobbing, wishing I could feel his arms wrapped around me one more time," Samantha continued. "I finally gave up on sleeping and walked into our bathroom. There, shining directly across Kyle’s sandals, was a rainbow."
Sharing a photo of the rainbow across Kyle's sandals, Samatha wrote that the discovery gave her a sense of peace, "like he was giving [her] a sign."
Despite understanding "exactly how [the rainbow] happened scientifically," Samantha explained that she had never seen a rainbow appear in that location before, let alone one that was "that bright and vibrant."
In another special moment, Samantha said she spotted a bird flying around during her church's service, and at one point, "it flew over to where I was sitting, tilted its head sideways, looked right at me, and then flew away," before later visiting again near her feet.
"It feels like God is reminding me that I’m not alone and that Kyle is letting me know he’s okay, that he’s close, and that somehow he’s still walking beside us," she concluded.
View this post on Instagram'80s Hollywood Icon Overcame 11 Rejections to Land His Breakout Role
Before Die Hard, Pulp Fiction, The Fifth Element, or any of the many characters Bruce Willis is known for, there was Moonlighting. Without his role as the charismatic, wisecracking detective David Addison, he may not have ever gotten the chance to star in those iconic films. Surprisingly, showrunner Glenn Gordon Caron revealed in 2007 that ABC fought hard against casting Willis.
Caron claimed they looked at "1100 men" for the part, searching in L.A., New York, Chicago, Toronto, and other major cities, hoping to find the right actor. At one point, the network offered to pay off Cybill Shepherd and Bob Butler, who had already been hired, because they believed the role of David was "uncastable." The next day, Willis came in for an interview.
11 Rejections and 90-Page Scripts"When he was done, he left, and I turned to the other people, I said, 'That's him,'" Caron noted in a Television Academy interview. "I said, 'We got to get him back here, we got to clean him up.' We brought him to the network, we brought him 11 times, and he was the only person I ever brought to the network and said, 'This is my choice,' and they turned him down 11 times."
Moonlighting involved a lot of talking, with Caron pointing out that they "would do 90-page scripts for a 44-minute episode." Of the 300 people he interviewed, Willis was one of three who successfully delivered the lines the way Caron envisioned. Yet, ABC still didn't want him.
Finally, he convinced Shepherd to do a screen test with Willis, so the network could see their chemistry. Still, the network insisted that Willis wasn't a leading man and no one would believe that Shepherd could fall for him.
The 'Dangerous' Pitch That Sealed the DealFinally, Anna Daniels, who was Head of Development, put the subject to rest with a very blunt statement to the executives.
"We were in this meeting with all these guys, and she said, 'Look, I don't know if he's a TV star or not, I don't know if he's a leading man or not, but he sure looks like a dangerous f--k to me,'" Caron recalled her saying. "It just sucked all the air; all these men were aghast."
In the end, that dangerous quality was exactly what television needed. Caron got what he wanted, and Willis went on to win an Emmy and a Golden Globe Award. By defying the network's traditional ideas of a leading man, Bruce Willis didn't just save Moonlighting; he paved the way for a legendary career that would redefine American cinema for decades to come.

Target's New $35 Western-Inspired Bag Is Perfect for Summer Concerts
Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.
Concert season is officially here. This time of year, I always find myself looking for accessories that are cute, practical and easy to wear all day when I head out. Target just dropped a new bag that checks all those boxes while tapping into one of the summer's biggest fashion trends.
The Western Faux Suede Fringe Shoulder Bag from Universal Thread is available in brown, green and pink for $35. The shoulder bag features a faux suede finish, an adjustable strap and rows of fringe that instantly give it a fun, laid-back vibe.
If you're heading to a country concert, outdoor festival or summer fair, this bag is the perfect pick. Fringe bags have become a go-to accessory because they add movement and personality to an outfit without trying too hard.
Universal Thread Western Faux Suede Fringe Shoulder Bag Purse, $35 at Target Shop It!I also appreciate that this isn't just a cute accessory. The bag has a roomy main compartment with a zipper closure plus an interior zip pocket for smaller essentials. That means I can toss in my phone, wallet, lip gloss and sunglasses without feeling like I'm carrying around a giant tote.
Shoppers seem to agree that the size hits a sweet spot. One reviewer wrote, "Bought this bag for a country concert and it's the perfect size for your phone and other small items. Love the green and fringe."
Another shopper praised the pink version, writing, "Cutest little pink fringe bag! Love the size (not too small) & the quality is amazing for the price point."

One customer even shared that the bag fits a Kindle, although they noted they couldn't fully zip it closed with the device inside. For me, that's still impressive considering the bag keeps a compact silhouette.
The timing of this release makes sense. Western-inspired fashion has been everywhere lately, from cowboy boots and denim skirts to fringe jackets and suede accessories. Even if you're not going full cowgirl, adding a fringe bag is an easy way to try the trend.
I could see myself pairing the brown version with denim shorts and boots for a concert or using the green bag to add a pop of color to a simple sundress. The pink option feels playful enough for brunch, vacations or everyday errands.
Whether you're planning summer concerts or want a bag that adds a little extra personality to your outfits, this new Target find is worth adding to your cart.

Elvis' Iconic Leading Lady Reflects on the Film That Became a Cultural Phenomenon
Ann-Margret is reminiscing on the days she spent working with Elvis Presley.
Over 60 years after starring alongside the King of Rock and Roll in the hit film Viva Las Vegas, Ann-Margret still remembers just how much she enjoyed the experience.
In a new Instagram post uploaded on Tuesday, June 16, the 85-year-old Hollywood legend shared a throwback photo from the set of the iconic musical film, in which she played Rusty Martin opposite Elvis' Lucky Jackson. Released in 1964, Viva Las Vegas became a cultural phenomenon, largely due to the movie's enduring soundtrack and the palpable chemistry between Elvis and his leading lady. It is still widely regarded as one of the most memorable films of Elvis' Hollywood career.
As seen in her Instagram post on Tuesday, a young Ann-Margret was pictured wearing the recognizable yellow dress and matching shoes she wore during one of the famous dance scenes in Viva Las Vegas, while Elvis sported a suit jacket of the same color.
View this post on Instagram"Making Viva Las Vegas was one unforgettable adventure," the actress captioned her Instagram post, "and Judging by the smiles it still brings, I'd say the fun never really ended."
Ann-Margret, a sex symbol of the '60s is notably one of Elvis' former flames, though the pair only dated for about a year, as she revealed in her 1994 autobiography, per the New York Times.
Elvis would go on to marry Priscilla Presley in 1967, while Ann-Margret married actor Roger Smith the same year. Elvis and Priscilla wound up divorced by 1973, while Ann-Margret and Roger were married for 50 years until his death in 2017.
In addition to being one of Elvis' most iconic leading ladies, Ann-Margret is known for a number of other notable roles in films like State Fair (1962), Bye Bye Birdie (1963), Stagecoach (1966) and A Streetcar Named Desire (1984).

This Chart-Topping Mom-of-Four Just Shared the Ultimate Inspiring Postpartum Glow-Up
Four months after celebrating the second birthday of her fourth child, Denver Calloway Decker, reality starJessie James Decker is sharing her amazing transformation with fans and followers. On June 14, the "Boys in the Summer" singer posted an Instagram video documenting her journey to get fit again after gaining more than 50 pounds during her pregnancy.
"This video is as raw and real as it gets," she captioned her post. "I’ve been anxious to share but here it goes."
From 'Magical' Metabolisms to Hard WorkShe explained how she'd always been lucky, being able to "eat whatever I wanted and stay in shape." But after realizing the weight wasn't "magically" disappearing after the baby was born, she realized she had to start putting in the work, doing cardio and strength training to get back to where she felt happy with her body.
"I know what it’s like to look in the mirror and not recognize yourself," she confided. "I know what it’s like to feel uncomfortable in your clothes."
Raw, Real, and PostpartumThe montage begins with Decker pregnant, then shows her at the start of her postpartum period. The videos of her in workout gear are interspersed with her simply being a mom, whether going on a walk with one of her children in a baby carrier, or lifting weights in her backyard while her four kids work out alongside her.
View this post on InstagramViewers watch as Decker performs plyometrics, deadlifts, rides a stationary bike, and does other intense workouts as her body slowly becomes more toned, stronger, and more flexible.
"I’m not a bodybuilder. I’m not a fitness expert," she wrote. "I’m just a mom of four who loves feeling strong, ready to conquer whatever life brings my way, and motivated by other women."
From Personal Journey to 'JJD FIT'While many moms commented on her vulnerability, Decker had another reason for being so open about her pregnancy and fitness experience. Decker has created a new app called JJD FIT.
View this post on Instagram"My hope is that this becomes that same kind of place for all of us," the country singer wrote. "A place to get stronger. A place to stay motivated. A place to support one another. A place to show up for ourselves."
With the launch of JJD FIT, the busy mom of four is turning her personal transformation into a community effort, proving that with a little patience and a lot of heart, anyone can reclaim their strength.
