Sam's Club Is Selling a New 30-Piece Pyrex Food Storage Set in the Prettiest Summery Colors

I have a hot take, and I'm prepared to stand by it: you can never own too much Pyrex. Is there technically a limit to how many glass containers one household needs? Sure. Do I care? Absolutely not.
Pyrex is the kitchen equivalent of that dependable friend who always shows up on time and never lets you down. It's durable, useful and handles everything from meal prep and leftovers to potluck casseroles and mystery foods you swore you'd eat three days ago. (It's OK. You were a different person then.) Unlike flimsy plastic containers that warp, stain or develop that suspicious orange tint after one encounter with spaghetti sauce, Pyrex just keeps doing its thing year after year.

Pyrex Simply Store 30-Piece Glass Storage Set, $39.86 at Sam's ClubSam's Club
Shop It!It might sound silly, but part of the fun here is the lids. The moment Pyrex releases a set with a fresh lineup of colorful lids, my self-control starts packing its bags. Case in point: I'm obsessed with this Pyrex Simply Store 30-Piece Glass Storage Set at Sam's Club that has lids in pinks and blues. My refrigerator can look less like a chaotic food graveyard and more like a lifestyle magazine spread, and I appreciate that.
Plus, this set includes everything from five one-cup round containers to a roomy seven-cup container. The 1-cup containers are perfect for sauces, dips, berries or that tiny amount of leftovers you're determined not to waste. Meanwhile, the two-cup round containers are great for meal-prepped lunches, cut fruit or last night's side dishes, while the three-cup rectangular containers are made for sandwiches, sliced veggies and grab-and-go snacks.
Need something bigger? The four-cup rounds can handle pasta, salads and family-sized leftovers, while the generous seven-cup container is basically begging to hold a casserole, a giant chopped salad or enough cookies to keep everyone happy for at least a day.
Here's what else is super smart: the color-coded lids aren't just cute to look at; they make finding the right container surprisingly painless. Everything nests and stacks neatly, which means less cabinet chaos and fewer avalanches every time you reach for a bowl. The tempered glass containers resist stains and odors, not to mention they're safe for the dishwasher, freezer and microwave.
If all of this doesn't make my case for more Pyrex, I'm not sure what will.

1973 Classic Novel Was Denied a Pulitzer for Being Too āObsceneā So No Prize Was Awarded That Year
Gravityās Rainbow is a 1973 novel written by Thomas Pynchon, a famously reclusive author who has never given a traditional interview. Gravityās Rainbow won the National Book Award for Fiction and was nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novel. It was also recently listed as the best book of the ā70s by Collider.
Gravityās Rainbow nearly won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction as well. However, even though it was selected by the jury to win the award, the Pulitzer Advisory Board was too offended by the book to officially award the prize to him. Instead, they didn't give out any award that year.
As reported by The New York Timesin 1974, āAll three members of the Pulitzer Prize jury on fiction expressed distress and bewilderment yesterday that their unanimous recommendation for a prize for Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow had been turned down and that no fiction award was given this year.ā
The outlet continued, āMembers of the 14āmember board, which makes recommendations on the 18 Pulitzer Prize categories in journalism, letters, and music after jurors' reports, had described the Pynchon novel during their private debate as 'unreadable,' 'turgid,' 'overwritten' and in parts 'obscene.' One member editor said he had tried hard but had only gotten a third of the way through the 760āpage book.ā

According to the bookās Amazon description, āGravity's Rainbow is a postmodern epic, a work as exhaustively significant to the second half of the twentieth century as Joyce's Ulysses was to the first. Its sprawling, encyclopedic narrative and penetrating analysis of the impact of technology on society make it an intellectual tour de force.ā
The book has a 4.3-star rating on the site and a 4.0 rating on Goodreads with nearly 50,000 ratings. Although some readers think the book is too confusing, others believe thatās part of its charm.
As one reader stated, āYou know that very brief moment after you wake up in the morning? That moment when you're not sleeping but you're not yet awake. You kind of know what's going but you're not fully aware. You're in consciousness limbo. When you read Gravity's Rainbow you fall into this consciousness limbo. You read the words on the page, but they don't all make sense. You're confused, you don't know what's going on, but... You love it.ā
Pynchon is still writing to this day. His latest book, Shadow Ticket, was published in 2025.
Netflix Adapts Bestselling Hockey Romance Novel 'Icebreaker' into New Series
The wave of book-to-screen adaptations shows no signs of slowing down, and Netflix is the latest streamer to join the trend. The platform has officially ordered a series adaptation ofĀ Icebreaker, the bestselling hockey romance novel byĀ Hannah Grace.
Heated Rivalryand Off Campus has proven that hockey is the perfect foreground for tantalizing and binge-worthy TV series among book lovers and first-time readers. It's now time for Netflix to embark on its own hockey adventure with Icebreaker.
The streaming platform announced the young adult novel will be turned into a series, with details on who will play the leading characters still a mystery. Amanda LasherĀ and Jade Bartlett are both attached to write and executive produce the new adaptation, with Icebreaker being the first installment of Grace's three-book series.
āItās been such a joy to play in Hannah Graceās world ofĀ Icebreaker, a story filled with ambitious, talented, and undeniably sexy characters. But the real special sauce is that, above all, they are good, deeply compassionate people ⦠and we cannot get enough of them,ā Bartlett says. āHannah has created the kind of world you want to live in, and Amanda and I are having an absolute romp with our incredible teams at Unwell and Netflix, bringing this cherished story to the screen.āĀ
Icebreaker was released in February 2023 and is set in the fictional University of California, Maple Hills. What happens when an aspiring Olympic gold figure skater is forced to share the ice with a hockey player equally determined to go pro? The series will follow a hot and tension-filled college romance that will surely melt the ice.
āSheās the transfer gunning for Olympic gold. Heās the campus star chasing the NHL. But when an accident forces their teams to share one rink, Anastasia Allen and Nate Hawkins collideāand discipline gives way to obsession, because the only thing more dangerous than wanting to win is wanting each other," reads the logline.
Grace's novel spent 70 consecutive weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and sold over five million copies worldwide. According to Jinny Howe, Netflixās head of scripted series for the US and Canada, Icebreaker was the "perfect next chapter for us." He adds that the growing interest in hockey romances and Grace's novel has helped redefine the contemporary romance genre.
For now, there aren't any details of who will play Anastasia and Nate, as well as a scheduled release date for the series.
'90s Alt-Rock Band Debuts First New Song in 8 Years
Iconic alt-rock band Hoobastank surprised fans with a new song this weekend, marking their first release in almost a decade.
During their set at Vans Warped Tour in Washington, D.C., the band debuted "How Do You Sleep?," a track that comes 8 years after the release of their sixth studio album, Push Pull.
"How Do You Sleep?" was produced by Howard Benson and is a full-circle moment for the California rockers, whose creative partnership with Benson helped define an entire generation and became one of the most memorable rock albums of the 2000s.Ā
āI feel good about releasing new music. Itās kind of like a creative 'pressure valve' has been opened,ā vocalistĀ Doug RobbĀ said in a press release shared with Parade. āHoward Bensonās enthusiasm was a big part of opening it for us. He gave us direction but also a lot more freedom than he may have previously.ā
On June 14, shortly after the performance at Vans Warped Tour, the band released an official surpriseĀ music video for the punchy track.
Fans took to the comments to share their excitement over Hoobastank's much-anticipated return to music.
"Hell yeah! New Hoobastank music in 2026? This is awesome!" one fan wrote.
"Wasn't expecting this on my bingo card today," said another.
"How do I sleep?," commented a third. "With a smile on my face after I listened to this banger!"
Hoobastank formed in 1994 and rose to fame in 2001, following the release of their self-titled album released through Island Records. Hoobastank was certified platinum and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.
Recently, the four-piece has found a fresh audience thanks to a resurgence on social media platforms like TikTok. Their 2003 hit, "The Reason," went viral on the platform following the #NotAPerfectPerson trend, with content soundtracked by the song receiving hundreds of millions of views.

Snapple's New Special-Edition New York Knicks Release Is Guaranteed to Fly Off Shelves ā Here's How to Get It
Just days after the New York Knicks clinched their first NBA championship title in 53 years, Snapple has unveiled a special new release in honor of the big win: limited-edition Knicks glass bottles.
"Snapple was born in NYC in 1972Ā ā theĀ lastĀ year theĀ KnicksĀ startedĀ aĀ championship run. Now, two hometown icons are coming togetherĀ to celebrate this historic title inĀ a way that will energize the entire city," the brand announced in a press release shared directly with Parade. The classic Peach Tea beverages feature a bold label with the New York Knicks logo and the words "2026 Champions."
"This bottle is for you, Knicks fans," another blurb on the bottle reads, with more designs showcasing graffiti-style writing and slogans like "NYC," "NY Over Everything," "2026 Champs," "Always Knicks," "Movin' & Groovin'," "Earned. Not Given," and "No Shortcuts. Just New York." Even Jesse Itzler's 1993 anthem, "Go NY Go," received a nod.
Designed specifically with fans in mind, Snapple promises this is "notĀ justĀ a drop.Ā ItāsĀ a citywideĀ search forĀ thisĀ once-in-a-lifetime collectible," as the bottles are only hitting select NYC locations that will remain unannounced. To find them, Knicks loyalists must follow clues shared via social media that will hopefully point them in the right direction.
To tease the exact locations, Snapple tapped NYC creatorĀ @meals_by_cug, who will drop hints throughout the week ā and they're only available for a super limited time, while supplies last.
View this post on InstagramOn Instagram, Knicks fans went wild over the collectible ā so it's bound to fly off shelves once they're spotted in person.
"Need this bad boyš„," food blogger Markie Devo admitted, while another exclaimed, "THESE ARE SOOO GOOD!!! My husband would CRY if he got this š."
"Yāall need to let new york keep the glass bottles to celebrate the knicks winning šÆ," a third begged.
More commenters dropped notes like, "This is a win for everybodyšš§”@snapple," "I NEEEEED THISSSSS AND THATS A SNAPPLE FACT!!!!!" "Icon meets icon š«¶," "Time to pop bottles!!!" and "SNAPPLE + KNICKS = NYC ā¤ļø."
Someone else cleverly suggested, "This shouldāve been The Big Snapple Apple yall, cāmonnnn!"
Meanwhile, the Knicks are experiencing a full-on heydayāand in true New Yorker fashion, their ever-strong fanbase is loud and proud about it. The team, helmed byĀ Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, andĀ Josh Hart, has carried the organization into a new era.
The last championship the Knicks brought home was in 1973. Now, it seems the positive energy has been restored.
In case youāre not following along, most recently, the team stunned crowds around the world with a ferocious comeback and anĀ unbelievable, must-see final playĀ during Game 4 of the series at MSG onĀ Wednesday, June 10. Miraculously securing the lead within the crucial final minutes of the game, after being down 29 points in the third quarter, they came out victorious with a final score of 107 to 106.
Heather and Tarek El Moussa Share Emotional Update After Home Break-in
Heather Rae El Moussa and Tarek El Moussa are trying to find their way back to normal after a frightening home break-in.
The HGTV couple's Southern California home was burglarized while they were away on vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Days after first speaking out about the incident, Heather shared a more personal update about how their family is doing.
"Home is still our sanctuary," she wrote over a photo of herself sitting on the floor with her 3-year-old son, Tristan.
Heather Rae El Moussa Shared a Family Update View this post on InstagramHeather posted the update to her Instagram Stories on Sunday, June 14.
In one slide, she held Tristan as the two spent quiet time together at home. She wrote that they were getting in "some snuggle time" to recharge before the week ahead.
In another message, Heather thanked everyone who had reached out to their family after the break-in.
"Thank you again to everyone that has reached out for support & love," she wrote. "It didn't go unnoticed."
She added that the family is continuing to get "back to our normal routine" while prioritizing their safety.
The Couple Previously Said They Felt ViolatedGetty Images
Heather and Tarek first addressed the burglary in a joint Instagram statement on Friday, June 12.
"Our home has always been our sanctuary, the place where Tarek and I raise and protect our babies, love our family and find peace," they wrote.
The couple said having that space violated was "deeply unsettling," but added that they were grateful their family was safe.
They also said they were heartbroken over the sentimental items and family heirlooms that were taken.
"While material things can be replaced, our hearts are broken over the irreplaceable family heirlooms and special memories that were taken from us," they wrote.
Police Shared Details About the Break-InThe Newport Beach Police Department confirmed to People that the incident happened sometime between Saturday, June 6, and Monday, June 8.
Police said unknown suspects accessed the backyard of the property and shattered a rear sliding glass door to get inside the home. Once inside, the suspects ransacked the primary bedroom closet before fleeing.
Police also confirmed that jewelry was stolen.
Heather had hinted that something upsetting had happened before the couple shared the full statement. On Tuesday, June 9, she wrote on Instagram Stories that she and Tarek felt "violated" and "really sad," while also reassuring followers that they and the children were safe.

The Break-In Comes During a Busy Time for the CoupleThe incident comes during an active stretch for Heather and Tarek.
The couple star together on HGTV's The Flipping El Moussas, while Heather is also known to many reality TV fans from Selling Sunset. She is also expected to return to the Netflix series alongside Christine Quinn, who had also stepped away from the show in recent seasons.
Tarek has also continued to speak publicly about his real estate career, his years on Flip or Flop, and his blended family with Heather and his ex-wife, Christina Haack.
They Are Focused on Safety and RoutineFor now, Heather and Tarek appear to be focused on protecting their family and restoring some peace at home.
In their first statement, they said they are taking "every precaution" to protect their home moving forward. They also thanked law enforcement for their "swift response and diligent work."
Heather's latest update made it clear that the emotional side of the break-in is still fresh. But it also showed the couple taking small steps back into family routine.
Country Star Earns Fifth No. 1 Hit 9 Years After Beginning Career
Ella Langley has reached an exciting career milestone.
Over the weekend, the 27-year-old country singer officially notched her fifth career No. 1 song on country radio for her hit, "Be Her," which served as the second single for her successful studio album, Dandelion.
Since writing her first song in 2017, Langley has had four other of her tracks hit No. 1: her two collaborations with Riley Green ā "you look like you love me (ft Riley Green)" and "Don't Mind If I Do" ā and her solo songs "weren't for the wind" and "Choosin' Texas," the latter being the lead single for Dandelion that became a global succcess and marked her first Billboard Hot 100.
View the original article to see embedded media.
"Be Her" is the sixth track on Dandelion, where Langley sings about self-reflection, personal growth and the desire for a simple life. The song finds herself wishing she could emulate a woman who seemingly has her life perfectly put together.
In an interview on the Katie & Company radio show, Langley explained how she and her three songwriters ā HARDY, Smith Ahnquist and Jordan Schmidt ā came up with the concept, melody and title for "Be Her," and it was written in 30 minutes.
"Jordan was playing this one track, and one of us had the title 'Be Her.' He played that track, all I heard was, 'I just wanna be her so bad, it hurts so bad...I just wanna be her,'" Langley explained. "When you write songs, whether those lyrics are gonna change or not, itās good to get into how the cadence of the lyrics are moving around⦠I kind of fill it in like a puzzle afterwards. So I just kept singing that, and all of us were like, āOh, that feels amazing.'"
Despite the song being fun and easy to sing, "Be Her" tackles a deep subject matter, and it's really an admission of the type of woman Langley wants to be one day. The "Loving Life Again" singer says that the lyrics are "really her truth."
"It's not about being someone else; itās about being the her you want to be," Langley continued. "I think thereās things that every single person on this planet would like to see themselves do better as a human being, you know what I mean? If you donāt, I do not want to be around you. I do not want to be around you at all. I was just honest; those are all things that Iām looking forward to in my life, changing about myself a little bit."
Ella Langley performs onstage at Nissan Stadium during CMA Fest 2026 Day One on June 04, 2026 in Nashville, Tennessee.Growing up in a musically-inclined family in Alabama, Langley's first introduction to music was through her church and jam sessions with her community. She started performing locally when she was just a junior in high school, before attending Auburn University to study forestry, and continued to perform across Alabama in various bars and festivals.
In 2021, she signed her first publishing deal with Sony Music Publishing Nashville, then a record deal with Sony Music Nashville and Columbia Records. By then, she had already co-written multiple hit songs for other artists, put out her own singles and even opened for Jon Pardi and Riley Green on their tours before releasing her debut album, Hungover, in August 2024. Not only did her first album debut at No. 77 on the Billboard 200 and No. 11 on the Top Country Albums chart, the single "you look like you love me" featuring Green also gained traction on TikTok and became her first entry on the Billboard Hot 100.
A year and two months after Hungover was released, Langley put out "Choosin' Texas," which also went viral on TikTok and reached No. 1 on the Hot 100, Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts all at once. Co-written and co-produced by Miranda Lambert. "Choosin' Texas" spent 10 weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, the longest reign among female country singers. Her second album, Dandelion, was released this past April and debuted at the top of the Billboard 200.
"With this record, I wanted people to get to know who I am," Langley told Cold Alan of The Highway, a radio show aired by SiriusXM, while promoting Dandelion. "I keep saying that Hungover was the thing that maybe brought them to the table, but Dandelion's going to be the one that makes them sit down and eat. And for that, this is who I am. You could listen to this record and not meet me, not listen to me and you could understand who I was as a person and where I come from and kind of what got me here."

The No-Income-Tax States Retirees Love Most Are Hiding a Financial Trap Nobody Warns Them About
Retirees often flock to states like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee because of the lack of income taxes, which is great if you have a pension or are drawing on retirement accounts. However, a state has to make its money somewhere, and many seniors who move find theyāre actually paying more when they're hit with unexpected charges.Ā
Moving Can Look GoodA couple with a large IRA or 401(k) may be eyeing those no-income-tax states and thinking theyāre a great idea. As far as those taxes are concerned, it is potentially a savings of thousands of dollars over the course of retirement. Itās completely valid, and many people plan for years before retirement.
The Hidden CostsMoving to a no-income-tax state can be financially viable as long as other forms of taxes donāt come into play. While not every retiree will encounter these issues, many do end up paying these extra costs.Ā
Property taxes:AARP reminds us that property taxes in states like Florida and Texas are higher than in many other states.Ā
Sales tax: If youāre moving to a high tourism state like Florida, youāll likely pay higher sales tax than in places that donāt see a lot of visitors. Moneywise notes that Florida has a statewide sales tax of 6%, but many counties add more.Ā
Insurance: Insurance premiums in states like Florida, Louisiana, Texas, and the Carolinas are often much higher. Some retirees find themselves paying 3 to 4 times as much for home insurance once they move to these places.Ā
Utilities: Air conditioning isn't really an option in Florida or Texas. To live comfortably, you'll be running it much of the year. Electric bills of up to $400 a month are common for typical single-family homes. As the energy crisis continues to drive up electricity prices, this will likely rise further.
Healthcare: Where you live can affect more than your tax bill when it comes to medical care. Research from Milliman shows that while Original Medicare costs are standardized nationwide, the prices of Medicare Advantage, Medigap, and Part D plans vary significantly from state to state.
Medicare: You wonāt lose your coverage as long as you stay within the United States, but costs and premiums could change. Youāll have to check your individual plan and how where you live affects it before moving to avoid surprises.Ā
At the other end, states likeĀ PennsylvaniaĀ have fully exempt retirement income laws and may have fewer additional fees and taxes.

Your Old State May Not Let You GoBuying a home in another state and calling yourself a resident doesn't mean your previous state will let you go so easily. California, New York, and other high-tax states will take a deep dive into your actual residency.
If you maintain a residence for 183 days, that is considered your state of residence, and you can be taxed there. But days of residence aren't the only indication. If you're still visiting doctors in your old state, keeping meaningful belongings, banking, or spending time with relatives, you'll likely be considered a resident.
If an audit decides you never really left, you may be on the hook for years of back income tax plus interest and penalties. This affects snowbirds the most. If you keep a summer and a winter residence, you'll need to consult a tax professional.
The Type Of Account MattersTraditional IRAs and 401(k) accounts are the most susceptible to taxation, but anyone with a Roth-heavy portfolio has more shielding. The type of retirement account you have matters, and can matter a great deal when considering tax laws in the place you choose to settle down.Ā

Putting It All Together: A Real-World ExampleIt's easy to read all of this information and get lost in the details. Here's a simplified, illustrative comparison of what a retired couple with $80,000 in annual taxable retirement income and a $400,000 home might pay in Ohio (a modest-income-tax state) versus Florida (no income tax).
State
Ohio
Florida
State Income Tax
$1,500
$0
Property Tax
$5,400
~$3,200
Home Insurance
$2,000
~$4,000-$7,000+
Total
$8,900
~$8,700-$11,700+
These numbers are averages that will vary depending on your county, insurance company, home value, and your personal tax circumstances. However, the basics are the same. The deep "savings" states like Florida brag about usually don't add up, and that's even before you factor in other costs like utilities and medical.
If you want to move in retirement, itās best to do a full cost analysis of your new location before making a commitment. Once you understand what the taxes, insurance, utilities, and healthcare costs will look like, you can determine if that move will really save you money.

Beloved Country Star Reveals He Secretly Got Married
Brett Eldredge just shared some unexpected news with fans.
The country singer revealed on Instagram on Monday, June 15, that heās officially off the market, quietly marrying his longtime partner.
The video featured two photos of Eldredge with his new wife (who has not been identified), including one from their wedding day, set to an unreleased ballad. Alongside it, the 40-year-old reflected on how much his life has changed in the past few years.
"Over the last several years, life and my perception of it have changed dramatically. I met an amazing woman who truly loves me for me, way beyond the fella with a microphone," Eldredge wrote. "Someone who's just as goofy as I am. Someone who loves weird barefoot dance-offs in the living room, looking up at the night sky and wondering what lies beyond what we cannot see."
View this post on InstagramHe continued by describing their relationship before dropping the bomb. "Along the way, we got married," he shared. "To me, some of the best things in life are the ones you plant and grow quietly in your sacred space, away from the noise,ā he continued, explaining that keeping that part of his life private was intentional."

Itās been a couple of big years for the singer. In 2025, he released a string of independent projects, including the Lonestar Lovers EP through his own Warm and Cozy Records. Before that, he continued one of his favorite musical traditions with the release of his third holiday album, Merry Christmas (Welcome to the Family), in late 2024, with Kelly Clarksonfeatured on the track āSweet December.ā

Carly Pearce handles onstage mishaps like a champ! The country music superstar, 36, recently proved that when she shook off the embarrassment of one of her loose hair extensions falling out in front of a massive crowd of people mid-show.Ā
The moment happened over the weekend while Pearce was performing at the Woodstock Concert Summer Series in Woodstock, Georgia. A video taken by a fan, who presumably attended the concert, has been shared online, and begins with Pearce speaking to the audience.Ā
In the clip, Pearce appears to try to move a strand of hair away from her face before she notices something is wrong with her locks.Ā
āUh oh,ā the Grammy-winning country star can be heard saying over the microphone as she pulls out her loose hairpiece for all to see. āWow, this has never happened to me.ā
Making light of the situation as fans cheered her on in support, Pearce then tells a stagehand that she doesnāt need assistance, saying, āIām just gonna clip it back in. Itās fine.āĀ
Turning to the audience, she added, āIf yāall think my hairās real, it aināt.āĀ
āThereās a first time for everythingā¦. Just keeping it real honest out here, yāall š ,ā Pearce also captioned the video on Instagram.Ā
View this post on InstagramFans also took to the comments section of her post to applaud her swift recovery from the hair malfunction.Ā
āI love your personality. Thanks for being real, and you sound amazing! Blew me away. Thanks for saying yes to a small show,ā one person wrote, while another follower added, āI love you for your ability to be so real! @carlypearce you remain an inspiration and keep being unapologetically you, girl!ā
A third fan commented, āThis is one of the reasons your fans love you!ā
This certainly isnāt the first time Pearce has been open and honest with her fans. Sheās known for publicly sharing her vulnerability through her music and her health. And she has remained transparent over the years when it comes to talking about beauty.Ā
In 2024, according to Country Living, Pearce turned to Instagram to reveal her onstage hair is āfake.āĀ
āFor all you gals who tell me every night how pretty my hair is.. itās fake!!! This is my hair without any extensions. Here's to normalizing whatās real and what isnāt and being okay with it,ā Pearse wrote, sharing a selfie of her real hair.Ā āAnd Iāll send any of you the link if you want all that hair.ā
Taylor Swift Just Broke a Billboard Hot 100 Record No Other Artist Has Reached This Century
Taylor Swift has officially made history with her latest song release.
"I Knew It, I Knew You," Swift's brand-new original song for the Toy Story 5 soundtrack, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, according to new chart standings dated the week of June 20.
The feel-good country song becomes Swift's 15th song to ever reach No. 1 on the Hot 100, making her the artist with the most Hot 100 No. 1 hits in the 21st century. She surpasses fellow music superstars Drake and Rihanna, who have each tallied up 14 No. 1's on the chart this century.
Swift now ranks third among the artists with the most No. 1 Hot 100 hits of all time, following behind The Beatleswith 20 and Mariah Carey with 19. (Some lists include Elvis Presley as No. 3, considering that many of his hit songs pre-dated the Hot 100, and others appeared on now-retired charts). But if we're talking official No. 1's, Swift is now in third place.
Taylor Swift's "I Knew It, I Knew You" Also Makes Disney HistoryIn addition to earning Swift another No. 1 hit on the Billboard 100, "I Knew It, I Knew You" also marks a noteworthy milestone for Disney. It is now the first-ever Disney soundtrack song to debut at No. 1 on the chart.
"We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Encanto also hit No. 1 in 2022, becoming the first Disney No. 1 song on the Hot 100 since "A Whole New World" from Aladdin went No. 1 in 1993, though neither of those hits debuted at the top spot.
"I Knew It, I Knew You" becomes Swift's 11th song to debut at the summit of the Hot 100, joining the ranks of other smash hits like "Shake It Off," "Look What You Made Me Do," "cardigan," "willow," "All Too Well (Taylor's Version)," "Anti-Hero," "Is It Over Now? (Taylor's Version)," "Fortnight," "The Fate of Ophelia" and "Opalite."

Brooklyn Beckham's DoorDash Ad Nods To Family Drama
Brooklyn Beckham is cashing in on his family drama.
On Monday, the son of soccer icon David Beckhamand Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, shared his new TV ad for DoorDash in which he subtly nodded to the fact that he's no longer speaking to his family.
"You're probably wondering why I'm watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home," he said, while holding tickets for the event. "It's a long story."
View this post on InstagramThe commercial comes months after Brooklyn publicly cut ties with his family in a scathing Instagram announcement earlier this year after tensions surrounding his wedding came to to Nicola Peltz in 2022 came to a head.
Savvy Instagram users though, were very aware of "the long story" and sounded off in the post's comments.
"When you have to keep having digs at your family to stay relevant," said one.
"Because ur [sic] father is there and u [sic] are in no speaking terms with your parents, duh," added another.
"Obvs because you sacked off your family for your wife," said a third. "They've stopped talking about you as you wanted so maybe you should do the same."

Brooklyn's January announcement shared details from his wedding where he claimed his mother Victoria, a fashion designer, "canceled making Nicolaās dress in the eleventh hour" and also āhijackedā his first dance with his wife and ādanced very inappropriately on [him] in front of everyone.ā
He also explained that the couple no longer wished to be a part of "Brand Beckham," which supposedly required Brooklyn to sign āaway the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children."
āI grew up with overwhelmingĀ anxiety," he also shared in his statement. "For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have foundĀ peaceĀ and relief...My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy andĀ happinessĀ for us and our future family."

While Victoria and David have mostly stayed mum on the issue while speaking in various interviews since Brooklyn released the statement, Posh Spice talked about parenting in the public eye in April, briefly but didn't share specific details.
āWeāve always tried to be the best parents that we can be," she said. "And you know, weāve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all weāve tried to do is protect our children and love our children. And you know, thatās really all I want to say about it.āĀ
The A-list parents also took to both of their Instagrams to wish Brooklyn a happy birthday in March, amid their estrangement, to which Brooklyn deemed "performative."
The rest of the family has continued to publicly document their endeavors, specifically as Brooklyn's younger brother Cruz's music career has started to flourish. David also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last week. Brooklyn was not present for the ceremony.

I Work With RetireesāThese are the 3 Surprising Habits of People Who Are Genuinely Happy in Retirement
It's no secret that some people thrive in retirement while others barely survive. And while your financial and socioeconomic circumstances do make a major impact on how you fare in your golden years, a 2026 report from Fidelity cites research that says how you spend your days is a key indicator of how happy you will be.
We spoke with an expert to see if there are common habits that retirees can take up that will help them feel good about their next chapter, and she shared some of the biggest takeaways from her work with retirees.
They Start Their Day the Same Way Every MorningIt can be easy to break with your routine in retirement now that you're no longer a slave to the alarm clock, but Jennifer Conlan, Regional Director of Resident Care at Waltonwood Senior Living, says that happy seniors stay on task. "When people think of happy retirees, they often think of big activities like traveling or socializing," she says. "But in my experience, the happiest retirees are anchored by specific, small daily habits that keep them grounded."
One of the biggest ones has to be starting their day off right. "Happier retirees don't lounge in sweatpants or skip breakfast," she says, noting that they get up each morning and get ready for the day ahead, getting dressed and making sure they eat a good meal first thing in the morning.
That's something she says is especially important for those seniors living in a community setting. "It creates an immediate boundary against isolation," she says.
They Stay OrganizedInstead of clinging to decades of clutter from a massive family home, Conlan says happy retirees build a habit of keeping a highly organized, simplified living space. "They intentionally surround themselves only with items that bring them joy or hold their most cherished memories, rather than fighting the stress of a disorganized environment."
If you're still living at home, that may mean using your free time to get rid of some of the stuff you've been holding onto that you no longer use, especially if those items are relics from your working days.
They Prioritize Their HealthHappy retirees have something else in common, according to Conlan: Their health. "They embrace a structured schedule for things like medication and nutrition," she says, noting that they rely on systems like pill sorters to make sure that they are taking everything on schedule, and they outsource other health management tasks whenever possible.
She says that those who live within a community will do this by "utilizing our community staff to automate it so they don't have to carry the mental burden."
The Secret Behind Why These Habits Actually WorkThese small habits act as a psychological shield against the biggest threats to a happy retirement, according to Conlan, which she says include:
- Grief
- Stress
- Loss of control
"When a senior transitions into retirement or a new community, they are often navigating a complex mix of emotions, like mourning the loss of a family home or a spouse," she says. "Micro-habits like getting dressed for breakfast or organizing a personal space provide a powerful sense of predictability and control."
As for those seniors who live alone at home, Conlan says their daily routines are often consumed by high-stress tasks like fixing a broken appliance, grocery shopping, or worrying about falling. "By replacing those exhausting burdens with simple, healthy daily habits, their mental bandwidth is instantly freed up."
From there, she says these routines build confidence and a renewed sense of purpose. "Instead of spending their energy merely trying to manage a household, their habits allow them to focus entirely on enjoying life."

Netflix Defies a Massive Ratings Drop to Renew One of Its Biggest Star-Driven Comedies
Netflix has been known to cancel shows for much less, and yet The Four Seasons has just landed a third season despite a 63% drop in the ratings.
It joins the likes of Man on the Inside and Running Point, which were also renewed despite seeing their ratings figures drop considerably between Seasons 1 and 2, bringing up the question of whether Netflix is changing its renewal strategy or not. In recent years, comedies have been able to skirt through despite ratings drops on the streaming platform, while the genre struggles on broadcast.
Four Seasons is based on Alan Aldaās 1981 movie of the same name. The first season boasted a strong cast, which included EP Tina Fey, Steven Carell, and Will Forte. Carell didnāt return for the second season, and it potentially led to the slide in the ratings.Ā
However, viewers have noted that Netflix hasnāt done a great job in promoting the funny series, and thatās led to a decline in the ratings. Many hadnāt realized that the second season had dropped, and they only came across it on Netflix by chance. Itās a complaint by many about various shows on streaming networks.
The rest of the cast returned, and the format remained similar, with the destination of the vacation storyline changing every two episodes. The second season focused on Ginny learning to be happy following the death of her husband, while raising their child as a single mom. The remaining couples navigated their own ups and downs, with Anne meeting David Tennantās Gianpiero. Itās not clear if Tennant will return for the third season.
The Four Seasons Season 3 is expected in May or June of 2027. This would follow the regular release of the first two seasons in May 2025 and 2026.
When explaining the renewal of Four Seasons, Netflixās video president of U.S. comedy, Tracey Pakosta, explained that, āAudiences have fallen in love with these characters and this legendary castās electric chemistry. Weāre thrilled to keep the vacation going for Season 3.ā
Tyra Banks' Netflix Lawsuit Gets a Blunt Response From 'ANTM' Winner
Tyra Banks' lawsuit against Netflix is getting a pointed response from the first winner of America's Next Top Model.
Adrianne Curry, who won Cycle 1 of the reality competition series, reacted after Banks filed a lawsuit over Netflix's docuseries Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model. Banks alleges the series used selective editing to create a false and defamatory narrative about her and the show.
Curry seemed to find one part of the complaint especially ironic.
Adrianne Curry Reacted to Tyra Banks' Editing Claims View this post on InstagramIn a social media video shared Sunday, June 14, Curry reacted to Banks' lawsuit by bringing up the editing at the center of the dispute.
"I read that Tyra Banks is suing Netflix because she didn't like being edited," Curry said, using air quotes around "edited," according to TMZ.
She then laughed and added, "B----, for real girl?"
Curry also captioned the post, "Welcome to the party, pal," making it clear that she saw the lawsuit through the lens of former contestants who have spoken for years about how reality TV shaped their stories.

Banks filed a lawsuit against Netflix, EverWonder Studio and directors Daniel Sivan and Mor Loushy over Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model.
According to People, Banks claims she participated in the docuseries to have a candid conversation about the show's legacy, including aspects of ANTM she would approach differently today.
The lawsuit alleges that Banks sat for a more than three-hour interview, but only a small portion of it was used in the final series. Banks claims that editing left out important context and made her appear dismissive of serious issues raised in the documentary.
The lawsuit also accuses Netflix of false endorsement and alleges that the production company breached its agreement with Banks.
The Shandi Sullivan Story Is Part of the Lawsuit Shandi Sullivan on America's Next Top ModelUPN
One of the major points in the lawsuit involves former contestant Shandi Sullivan.
Sullivan, who appeared on Cycle 2 of America's Next Top Model, discussed an incident that happened during filming in the Netflix docuseries. In the lawsuit, Banks claims she did not know Sullivan had recharacterized the incident as sexual assault when Banks was interviewed for the documentary.
The lawsuit argues that the final edit made it appear as though Banks could not remember or did not care about Sullivan's experience. Banks denies that portrayal and says the series created a misleading impression.
Netflix has not publicly responded to the lawsuit.
Former 'ANTM' Contestants Are Weighing InCurry is not the only former America's Next Top Model figure reacting.
Entertainment Weekly reported that Angelea Preston, who competed on the show and later appeared on ANTM: All-Stars, also criticized Banks' lawsuit. Preston said the situation felt familiar to contestants who have long argued that editing affected how viewers saw them.
Curry Previously Defended Banks After the Docuseries Adrianne CurryPaul Archuleta/FilmMagic
Curry's new reaction is also notable because she had previously defended Banks after Reality Check stirred renewed backlash against America's Next Top Model.
Earlier this year, Curry said she respected Banks for not apologizing amid the criticism around the show. At the time, she suggested Banks did not owe viewers the type of apology many people were demanding.
The Lawsuit Reopens a Larger 'ANTM' DebateAmerica's Next Top Model has been debated for years, especially as old clips and contestant stories have resurfaced online.
The Netflix docuseries added to that conversation by revisiting the show's legacy, including its impact on contestants, the modeling industry and reality TV more broadly. Banks' lawsuit now opens a new chapter in that debate.
For Banks, the issue is whether the docuseries presented a misleading and defamatory version of her participation.
According to former ANTM contestants, now Banks may understand what it feels like to be edited into someone else's story.
