Kate Middleton Makes Elegant Garter Day Appearance in Her Diamond Wedding Earring
Today marked Kate Middleton's tenth appearance at the royal family's annual Garter Day ceremony—and she wore her wedding earrings!
The Prince and Princess of Wales were all smiles as they rode in a horse-drawn carriage through Windsor, evoking memories of the procession following their wedding ceremony in 2011.
Kate looked picture perfect in a pale gold coatdress, with the diamond and pearl earrings that she wore fifteen years ago as a royal bride sparkling below her hat's brim.
View this post on InstagramBut did you know that her wedding earrings have a special family meaning?
They were commissioned especially for Kate by her parents Carole and Michael Middleton and served as her 'something new' in her iconic bridal look.

The Middletons worked with London jeweler Robinson Pelham to create the earrings' oak leaf design, with a diamond-set acorns suspended at their hearts.
The symbols of oak leaf and acorn were drawn from the coat of arms that Queen Elizabeth granted to Michael Middleton a few months before his daughter's marriage to Prince William.
The oak leaf was chosen to represent the area in Berkshire where the Middletons have their home of Bucklebury Manor, a Grade II-listed Georgian property, which is home to many ancient oak trees.
The three acorns in the coat of arms symbolize Carole and Michael's three children, Kate, Pippa, and James.
The incorporation of these symbols into Kate's wedding look was a sweet reminder of her family and the leafy part of the UK where she grew up, never imagining that she would one day be a princess and future queen.
The design of the oak leaves was modelled on the scrolls of the Cartier Halo Tiara that held Kate's wedding veil in place.
We love that Kate still wears her wedding earrings on occasion, and we love the outfit by Patrick McDowell that she paired them with today. Hat season is well and truly in session—this is the third time in the last fortnight that we've seen the Princess of Wales beaming from below a broad-brimmed hat.
The last time was only two days ago, when she wore a saucer-style hat and a baby blue coat dress to King Charles III's birthday parade.

Kate also stepped out in a big hat, plus buttercream tweed dress, for the recent wedding of Queen Elizabeth II's grandson Peter Phillips.
Today the royals were out in force for the 2026 Order of the Garter service, which was held in Windsor Castle.
The Order of the Garter is the oldest and most senior order of chivalry in the UK, and is modelled after the Knights of the Round Table. 24 membership places are reserved for the monarch, the Prince of Wales, and 24 companions who can be knights or ladies.
Members of the royal family who are members include King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Anne.
This was Kate Middleton's tenth time attending Garter Day, but did you know?
When Kate made her first ever appearance at the Order of the Garter's annual celebrations she was still Prince William's girlfriend.
Kate and William were still two years away from getting engaged when they stepped out with the rest of the royals on Garter Day in 2008, the year that William was appointed to the Order of the Garter by his grandmother the queen.

Anna Faris Reveals Jealousy of Sexy Star in 'Scary Movie'
Anna Faris became a star through the Scary Movie franchise. The character Cindy Campbell has made people laugh since 2000 for her line deliveries and facial expressions.
But Faris, 49, revealed there was a sexy role that made her jealous. Director Keenan Ivory Wayans noticed and gave her advice.
Anna Faris Was Jealous of Shannon Elizabeth in 'Scary Movie'Shannon Elizabeth played Buffy Gilmore in the first movie, who was a pageant queen. She had comedic moments while wearing cute outfits. Faris noticed her character was portrayed differently.
"I remember Keenen saw me and must have conveyed envy toward Shannon Elizabeth getting to look so beautiful and sexy, and I just fundamentally did not feel that I should be watched, as a person," Faris told Variety. "I was a 'back of the class' kinda kid. And Keenen told me, 'There’s no vanity in comedy.'"

Elizabeth didn't return to the franchise while Faris became the face of it. However, her partnership with the director wasn't smooth. The franchise was taken away from him and he asked Faris not to do the sequels despite her being locked into a three-movie deal.
"It was such a devastating moment in the sense that I admired Keenen so much, and he was asking me to do something, but I was under contract," the actress explained. "He said, 'All they can do is sue you!' and I’m thinking, 'I’m living in a one-bedroom apartment by the farmer’s market!'"
Faris later didn't star in Scary Movie 5. The director and other familiar stars have returned for the 2026 movie. Regina Hall, Lochlyn Munro, Carmen Electra, and Dave Sheridan from the first movie are also back to spoof newer films like Ma, Sinners, Get Out, and more.
Scary Movie is now available in theaters.

Casa Amor is a seasonal twist marking the halfway point of the season. Casa separates the Islanders, with one group (boys or girls) leaving the villa while the other group stays.
The group that leaves enters “Casa Amor,” a similar villa to where they’ve been staying, only filled with new and exciting singles.
Meanwhile, back at the main villa, another group of singles enters, as both groups are tempted by fate to see just how strong their original connections truly were.
Throughout the experience, viewers will watch as various challenges and twists amp up the Islanders' dynamics with the Casa boys and girls to see if a new connection can truly be made.
Following the end of Casa Amor, the Islanders and those from Casa will be brought back together, with the original Islanders given the option to reunite with their original partner, couple up with someone from Casa, or remain single and vulnerable.
Casa Amor has been home to many iconic moments throughout the franchise, and with the Villa's current dynamics, viewers are expecting another chaotic ride.

Jen Hamilton Breaks Silence Amid Divorce Rumors From Husband Brian Hamilton
Influencer and nurse Jen Hamilton has broken her silence after hinting at a divorce from husband, Brian Hamilton, after nearly 14 years of marriage.
Hamilton took to social media on Monday, June 15, sharing a clip of herself laying in bed with "Sand Drawing" by Judah Earl playing over the short video.
"It is my own fault," she began in text written over the image. "I posted my real time pain for it to be witnessed. For someone to tell me I'm going to be OK. I just didn't expect so many people to use it for content. So now my FYP on every app is just video/statuses about me/him."
She added, "I'm gonna stop scrolling. I am just hurting and every attempt to distract myself just ends up making it worse because it's everywhere. No one owes me privacy."
Hamilton went on to say that she still loves her husband and wants "the best for him," before begging her followers to stop talking about their relationship.
"It's my own fault. I'm sorry. I regret it so much," she wrote.
In the comment of her video, the labor and delivery nurse called the situation "complex."
View this post on Instagram"We both are hurting, broken people. And I love him so much. Please send love and healing vibes his way, but do not reach out or talk bad about him," she wrote. "It’s my fault for bringing it here. I was just hurting and looking for comfort. So much regret."
Hamilton first hinted at a separation from her husband in a Saturday, June 13, post.
"Day 1: absolutely devastated. Please don’t try to reach out to anybody on my behalf. That would make everything so much worse for me. Please just let me grieve," she captioned her since-deleted post. "My heart is absolutely shattered."
Hamilton added, "He broke my heart but I still love him with all the pieces 💔"
After one fan sent her love to the Birth Vibes: Stories and Strategies for an Empowered Birth author, Hamilton responded, "I’ve just never been enough for him."
Your House Won't Automatically Go to Your Family When You Die — Here's What Determines Who Gets It
Most people assume their house will transfer to their heirs, but the process can be more complicated than you think. How your property passes depends on a number of factors, including state laws, how the title is held, whether the property is in a trust, if you have a will, and others. The specifics can be the difference between a smooth transition and months held up in court delays.
🚀 Sign up for Parade's daily newsletters and get all the hot stories 🚀
The Title MattersChase Bank outlines several types of home titles, but these three will apply to most homeowners. The first is sole ownership, which means your name is the only one. Married couples may have a joint tenancy with right of survivorship, which means the house will pass to the surviving co-owner automatically. The last common scenario is a living trust, in which the property transfers to a beneficiary without probate.
Depending on how your home is titled, you may have an easy transition for your heirs or one that’s costly and dragged out in court for months.
Related: You Can Set up a Will for Free With This Non-Profit Funded Service
With A Will And Without OneHaving a will makes the property transfer process much easier for your heirs. Everything will still go to probate, but your wishes will be honored. If you don’t have a will, things become more complicated, especially with blended families, multiple heirs, and unclear lines of succession.
In most cases, the individual state’s intestate succession laws decide who inherits. If there’s a surviving spouse or children, everything will eventually transfer to them.
Even if no one challenges your property, the transfer of ownership can take 6 months to a year in court.
Mortgage and BillsIf you still have a mortgage when you pass, your heirs will still need to pay it, even if the property is in probate. Property taxes, insurance, and upkeep also continue. Federal protections do allow heirs to take over a current mortgage rather than forcing them to refinance.
AARP notes that if there’s no clear title due to a lack of estate planning, heirs could have trouble obtaining insurance.

What You Can Do TodayThe best thing you can do for your heirs is to create a will. Even the most basic planning could help make the transition smoother. You’ll also want to talk to a financial or estate planner about a revocable living trust and to see if your state offers a transfer-on-death (TOD) deed.
Finally, make sure your heirs have the proper beneficiary and title designations. Outlining your wishes for a lawyer to follow will make sure they’re properly executed.
If you aren’t sure about your lines of succession, or you don’t have proper documentation, it’s ok. You should speak with an estate lawyer today to ensure the transfer of your property goes smoothly. Small steps now help your heirs avoid big issues later.

Tonight’s Moon Phase Creates Perfect Conditions to See This Galaxy
If you've been following the abundance of cosmic activity in June, tonight's new moon offers some of the best conditions of the month to see the Milky Way. A rare alignment in the moon phase is creating some of the darkest skies of the month, and that means one thing for stargazers: the Milky Way may be easier to see tonight than it has been in weeks.
Why Tonight's New Moon Matters for Milky Way VisibilityMoonlight is one of the biggest factors limiting what we can see in the night sky. Even a little bit of moonlight or natural skyglow can wash out the Milky Way's ethereal structure. During a new moon, however, that interference is essentially removed, allowing for clearer views of deep-sky objects beyond our solar system.

This is why astronomers and stargazers often consider the new moon period prime time to see the Milky Way. The darker the sky, the more detail becomes visible to the naked eye, especially the Milky Way's brighter core region, known as the Galactic Center.
When and Where to See the Milky Way TonightIn most parts of the Northern Hemisphere, the best viewing window begins about 1.5 to 2.5 hours after sunset, once the sky reaches astronomical twilight. To know where to look, find Vega, Altair and Deneb, the three stars that make up the Summer Triangle. This asterism serves as a natural pointer to the Milky Way, since the galaxy runs right through its center.
Location makes a big difference for Milky Way visibility. For the clearest view, get as far away from city lights as possible. Rural areas, open fields, coastlines and designated dark-sky locations offer the best visibility. If you're unsure where to go, light pollution maps can help you find darker skies near you.

Once you're outside, give your eyes about 20 to 30 minutes to adjust to the dark. During that time, avoid bright phone screens or flashlights, which can reset your night vision and make faint stars harder to see.
Related: Tonight's new moon also offers another unique cosmic viewing.
A Rare Window Into Our GalaxyThe Milky Way is always above us, but it's rarely visible this clearly to the naked eye. June marks the beginning of the summer Milky Way season, when the galaxy's core becomes more prominent in the night sky. Viewing conditions will steadily improve through July and August, offering plenty more chances to observe our galactic home, but tonight's new moon provides a rare opportunity for optimal viewing right now.
In 1975, a Hard Rock Anthem Made History After Bon Scott Forgot To Mention One Crucial Detail About the Bagpipes
The use of the bagpipes in the AC/DC classic “It’s a Long Way to the Top” make the track iconic. However, those bagpipes have a fun backstory.
When the 1975 hard rock anthem was being created, it didn’t originally have the bagpipes. It was producer (and elder brother of Malcolm and Angus Young) George Young who realized that it needed something extra, just to add an oomph to the song, and that’s when Bon Scott shared a bit of his past. He used to play in a pipe band.
So, off went Young to get some bagpipes. When Scott didn’t tell anyone was that he played the drums in the band. He had to quickly figure out how to play the bagpipes, and even then, it was with the chanter — a record-type instrument that is used for teaching the bagpipes. The use of the drones within the music had a bigger story.
Mark Evanstold the story, sharing that after buying the bagpipes, Scott owned up to the lack of detail when it came to the position he had in the pipe band. The band then figured out how to make the drone sounds, sharing in an interview that they would blow “the drones individually and then the tape looped, and [they] got the chanter.”
As much as the song became an iconic hit, it ended up “becoming a bit of a hassle” for any live performances. The band had to tune all the instruments to the drone of the bagpipes, because the drone is permanently locked to a B-flat.
It meant AC/DC didn’t play the song live all that much, with Evans saying, “we probably played the song live maybe 30 times most.” Since the death of Scott, the song hasn’t been played live, as frontman Brian Johnson thought it would dishonor Scott.
Yet, it’s become one of the most iconic songs and is one of those that most fans of the classic rock band will name first.

1971 Hard-Rock Classic, Featuring Iconic Opener by the ‘King of Rock Drumming,’ Ranked Best Drum Intro of All Time
Led Zeppelin’s fourth album is one of the most iconic rock records of all time. Best known for the epic anthem “Stairway to Heaven,” the first side of the 1971 classic rock album also features back-to-back bangers with “Black Dog” and “Rock and Roll.”
Both songs highlight the thunderous drum work of late drummer John Bonham, “the undisputed king of rock drumming,” as named by BBC’s Classical Music.
Fifty-five years after its release, Bonham’s iconic snare and open-high-hat drum intro for “Rock and Roll” was ranked the best drum intro of all time by Ultimate Classic Rock. The eclectic ranking featured everything from Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way” to the Go-Go’s “We Got the Beat,” with the Zeppelin classic topping the list of 40 songs.
“Bonham was all about propulsion, moving the song forward with tempo and force,” the music site shared. “Here, the constant cymbal strikes in the intro make you think the whole thing could careen out of control. But this was Zeppelin – everything was played as intended, every hammer drop and crash in its place. This was rock 'n' roll, and for a while there wasn't another band on the planet that could play it better. There still might not be.”
The song was created spontaneously in the studioLed Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page once revealed that “Rock and Roll” was born out of a spontaneous jam session.
Speaking with The Times in an interview, the legendary guitarist recalled that the song came off the cuff in the studio during a jam led by Bonham.
“We were recording another number ['Four Sticks'],” Page said. “We’d just finished a take, and John Bonham did the drum intro, and we just followed on. I started doing pretty much half of that riff you hear on ‘Rock and Roll’ and it was just so exciting that we thought, ‘Let’s just work on this.’ The riff and the sequence was really immediate to those 12-bar patterns that you had in those old rock songs like Little Richard, etc. And it was just so spur-of-the-moment the way that it just came together more or less out of nowhere.”
In Bonham’s brother Mick’s book, John Bonham: The Powerhouse Behind Led Zeppelin, the late rocker was quoted as saying his drumming was influenced by "early soul” records.
“I’ve always liked drums to be bright and powerful,” the late drummer once said. “I like our act to be like a thunderstorm.”

Explore the Legendary and Tragic Hotel that Shaped Music History in New Documentary
There are few places across this nation that hold the status of cultural hallowed ground on the same level as The Lorraine Motel. The former Memphis hotel and now National Civil Rights Museum has one of the most fascinating histories of any place in the country, which is told with a masterful and sensitive eloquence in the new documentary, The Lorraine.
Premiering at the Tribeca Festival, the film chronicles the important and complicated history of one of the most important landmarks in the country, and the triumph that has fallen out of the public consciousness.
The hotel is more infamously known for being the place where Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. was tragically assassinated in 1968. An event of this magnitude was sure to overshadow much of the history of the place, but the film makes an amazing and concentrated effort to show why this place should be celebrated and remembered. There's a reason this was the hotel King chose to stay in, and it's a story worth telling.
An Epicenter of Culture and MusicDuring Jim Crow, segregation prevented black people from being able to travel with ease of mind or access. Between sundown towns and proportionally far less access to businesses, travelling across the country was a dangerous and difficult endeavor. To help aid black travelers, Victor Hugo Green created the Green Book, a travel guide for black folks that listed black owned and accepting businesses across the country. The Lorraine Motel was a prominently featured establishment in the book, and it was in a landmark of black culture: Memphis, TN.
The Lorraine circa 1968.Photo by Santi Visalli on Getty Images
Memphis was and remains a hotbed for music. Between Beale street and all the studios that called the city home, the city is an incredibly creative space, especially for black music from the '40s to the '70s. The Lorraine prided itself on being the nicest of the black hotels in the city, and because of this, it attracted some of the greatest American artists in history.
Musicians like Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Aretha Franklin, and Otis Redding were frequent regulars of the establishment, and they formed a community there. It wasn't just a hotel, but a center of black cultural community that fostered so much incredible music.
Eddie Floyd was another iconic artist to frequent the hotel, with his chart topping hit "Knock On Wood" being written right there at the hotel.
For a time, the hotel was the epicenter of black music and culture in the city, thus making it one of the most important cultural centers in America's history. The film does an amazing job of showing that the immense tragedy that occurred here should not erase or overshadow the beauty and power of the place.
The Lorraine is one of my favorite documentaries of Tribeca. There's so much research put into it and the interviews that are collected feature so much warmth and reverence. It's a film that highlights so many traumatic events in this nation's history with a layer of love and optimism. It's a special and important film that is endlessly relevant and necessary.

New Documentary Reveals the Pain Behind a 1970s Music Icon—Exclusive Sneak Peek
A new documentary about Gregg Allman is headed to theaters later this month, promising a deeply personal look at one of rock music's most complicated and influential figures.
Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul, directed by James Keach, will open exclusively in theaters on June 17, 2026.
The 96-minute film traces Allman's journey from a childhood marked by tragedy to his rise as the voice behind the groundbreaking The Allman Brothers Band, whose blend of blues, rock and improvisational jams helped define Southern rock.
According to filmmakers, the documentary goes far beyond a traditional music biography. Using archival footage, previously unseen interviews and conversations with family members and fellow musicians, the film explores the personal struggles that shaped Allman's life and music.
Gregg Hated To Be Alone (1:12)Among those appearing in the documentary are his son, Devon Allman; daughter Galadrielle Allman; longtime keyboardist Chuck Leavell; founding band member Jaimoe; singer and former wife Cher; and singer-songwriter Jackson Browne.
The film examines pivotal moments in Allman's life, including the murder of his father when he was a child, the formation of the Allman Brothers Band alongside his brother, Duane Allman, and the devastating aftermath of Duane's death in a motorcycle accident in 1971. It also tackles Allman's decades-long struggle with addiction, his seven marriages and the sobriety he achieved later in life.
Keach, whose previous music documentaries include Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice and Glen Campbell… I'll Be Me, said he was initially unfamiliar with much of Allman's catalog. What ultimately drew him to the project, he explained, was the emotional core of the story—particularly the bond between Gregg and Duane.
The filmmaker has said he saw parallels between the Allman brothers' relationship and his own relationship with his brother, actor and producer Stacy Keach. That connection helped shape the documentary's focus on grief, family and resilience rather than simply chronicling musical achievements.
The project was initiated by longtime Allman manager Michael Lehman, who described the film as an effort to show audiences "the Gregg behind the music." Lehman said the documentary explores how both triumph and tragedy informed the songs that made Allman a rock icon.
Beyond the music, The Music of My Soul also examines larger themes that defined the era in which Allman lived, including race relations in the American South, addiction, loss and personal reinvention. The film highlights how the integrated lineup of the Allman Brothers Band challenged cultural norms while creating a sound that would influence generations of musicians.
Allman died in 2017 at the age of 69, but his voice and songwriting continue to resonate with fans around the world. With a mix of rare footage, intimate interviews and reflections from those who knew him best, Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul aims to offer a fuller portrait of the man behind classics like "Midnight Rider," "Melissa" and "Whipping Post."
The documentary opens in theaters nationwide on June 17.
Over 500,000 Packages of a Popular Mac and Cheese Have Been Recalled Due to This Potentially Dangerous Reason
If you are a macaroni and cheese lover and an avid Aldi shopper, you may want to check your fridge. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has just recalled more than 500,000 individual packages of a popular refrigerated mac and cheese product from the German grocery store chain due to a potentially undeclared allergen. This recall affects products nationwide.
Here is exactly what to know about this recall.
Aldi's Park St. Deli Macaroni & Cheese Recalled Due to Undeclared AllergenKevin Carter / Getty Images
BEF Foods Inc. initiated a voluntary recall for Aldi's Park St. Deli Macaroni & Cheese. On Wednesday, June 10, the FDA announced that it had classified the ongoing voluntary recall from the Texas-based firm due to an undeclared allergen as a Class II risk. This means that consuming this mac and cheese "may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences." The refrigerated meal was originally recalled on March 23. This was before the FDA classified it as a Class II recall.

The X-Files Cut Fox Didn't Want You to See Is Finally Here
For nearly two decades, The X-Files: I Want to Believe had a reputation unusual for a show that spent years terrifying television audiences. The 2008 film that reunited Fox Mulder and Dana Scully on the big screen had a 32% on Rotten Tomatoes and left fans wondering how creator Chris Carter could have gotten it so wrong. As of June 11, Carter's answer is finally on Disney+, and it turns out he didn't.
The director's cut of I Want to Believe (now streaming as a bonus feature on the film's Disney+ page) restores the horror-driven content that Fox executives and the MPAA forced Carter to remove before the movie's original theatrical release. Carter first revealed the project was in the works during a 2025 appearance on David Duchovny's Fail Better podcast, where he explained what happened behind the scenes in 2008. The studio wanted a PG-13 film. Carter did not. 'I made it too scary, basically,' he told Duchovny. 'They wanted a PG-13 movie. So we cut it back."
What audiences got in 2008 was a standalone thriller built around a psychic former priest and a serial body-harvesting case that had almost nothing to do with the alien mythology fans had spent nine seasons following. Critics called it a feature-length monster-of-the-week episode. Box office returns of $68.4 million on a $30 million budget confirmed audiences weren't connecting. The film's reputation became a sore spot for the franchise, one that seasons 10 and 11 were never fully able to move past.

Carter's director's cut is distinct from the extended DVD edition that added roughly four minutes of footage in 2008. This is a separate project, one Carter only recently got approval to complete, and one specifically designed to restore the darker, more frightening material that never made it to screens. 'It's not just doing a director's cut to do a director's cut,' Carter said on the podcast. 'It's really kind of bringing to life something that for me was on the page and never got to the screen.'
The timing is poised to take advantage of another franchise milestone. Ryan Coogler, the Sinnersdirector who won the 2026 Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, is currently developing a new X-Files reboot pilot for Hulustarring Danielle Deadwyler and Himesh Patel. The franchise is being handed to a new generation, and what better moment to let the old one finally see the version of I Want to Believe that was originally meant to be.
For fans who watched Mulder and Scully through every twist of the original nine seasons, this release is a little ironic. The show built its legacy on the idea that the truth was being hidden. Fitting that its most maligned chapter was hiding a different version of itself the whole time.
Youtuber Rosanna Pansino Suffered Severe Injuries After 41st Birthday Celebration Goes Wrong
Rosanna Pansino's 41st birthday did not end the way she expected.
The YouTube star and longtime host of Nerdy Nummies shared that she suffered serious injuries after falling while celebrating her birthday on a boat. Pansino, who turned 41 on June 8, posted the update days later and told followers that she is now recovering after a frightening accident.
"Whelp, my birthday didn't end quite as I had planned, but it's one I will never forget!" she wrote.
Rosanna Pansino Said She Fell While the Boat Was Docking View this post on InstagramPansino explained that the day had started beautifully before the accident happened.
"After a beautiful day spent with friends out in the ocean, I unfortunately took a very bad fall as the boat was docking," she wrote.
The fall caused major injuries. Pansino said she broke her jaw into four pieces, including "a complete fracture down the middle" of her chin. She also said she broke her front teeth.
Pansino spent the night in the emergency room, where she received stitches for three facial wounds. She later underwent surgery to put a metal plate in her chin and stabilize her jaw and teeth.
She Shared What Recovery Looks Like NowPansino also told followers that doctors used four metal screws in her gums for bands that are helping hold her jaw in place.
She said her front teeth were "shattered" and that she will need extensive dental work to repair them.
The update was difficult, but Pansino also shared some encouraging news. She said her doctor recently told her that she can talk sooner than expected, though she still has at least eight more weeks of recovery ahead.
"The good news is the doctor just updated me at the latest checkup that I can talk sooner than expected," she wrote.

Pansino also thanked the medical staff who helped her, as well as everyone who has sent flowers, visited her or reached out with kind words.
Her partner, Mike Lamond, showed support in the comments, joking that she was "somehow just as cute with a broken jaw," according to People.
Safiya Nygaard also sent love, writing, "Sending you love and healing vibes!! You got this."
Other well-known names, including Joey Graceffa, Mr. Kate, Jeannie Mai, Jeri Ryan, Hila Klein and iJustine, also shared supportive messages.

The update comes after what she described as a challenging year. In 2025, she shared that she had a benign growth removed from her collarbone after scans and an inconclusive biopsy. Earlier this year, she also spoke publicly about weight comments and said she had gained weight while trying a treatment for PMDD.
Even with the difficult recovery ahead, Pansino sounded grateful for the support around her.
She also made one thing clear about her next birthday plan. After this year's accident, she joked that she would celebrate at a spa instead.

Her most recent album, The Best is Yet to Come, was released in 2021. Still a frequent face on the touring circuit, Tyler most recently performed in London in March. She was scheduled to continue performing through May before she fell ill.

Psychologists Say Nostalgia Is Actually Good for You—Here's How Retirees Are Using It to Beat Loneliness
Retirement can sometimes feel lonely and isolating for seniors. That's because it often involves leaving behind a long-standing routine, forcing them to say goodbye to their co-workers and friends who have remained at work. But, experts say that there may be an easy way to beat loneliness in retirement, and it involves taking a walk down memory lane, where you can revisit some of your fondest memories.
That's right, some say that nostalgia can help retirees fight loneliness, and according to the experts we spoke with, it's actually really easy to get started.
Why a Trip Down Memory Lane Is Good for Your Mental HealthThe reason nostalgia is a powerful tool in the fight against loneliness lies in the way our positive memories make us feel, according to Jeffrey D. Green, Professor of Psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University. He says it can do everything from enhancing self-esteem to boosting retirees' optimism about the future.
"Most importantly, perhaps, and most germane to loneliness, nostalgia deepens our sense of connection to others and sense of social support," he continues, adding that he believes that when people reflect on momentous social events from their past, like:
- Weddings
- Graduations
- The birth of children

They remember when their loved ones were present and responsive. "Nostalgia can buffer us from various psychological threats, such as social exclusion or the loss of meaning in life, and nostalgia also can help us recover from such negative states," he continues, citing a paper published by the journal Advances in Experimental Social Psychology in 2015.
"Retirees have to deal with a number of changes, and often the social changes might be changes that are more surprising or not as well prepared for," Green says, noting that people can underestimate just how important their work friendships are. "Since psychological research has found that we derive happiness benefits even from short interactions with strangers, simply having fewer interactions per day may reduce the well-being and increase the loneliness of retirees."
How to Put Nostalgia to Work for YouWant to harness the power of nostalgia to make yourself feel less lonely? Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, internationally known Positive Psychologist, and the creator of The Enchanted Self says you'll need to access some of your fondest memories to see which ones are giving you the most pleasure when you revisit them.
"As we age, we collect an amazing storehouse of memories," she says. "We can look at pictures of loved ones from the past, also places we went, shows we saw." From there, she says people should make a "new list based on our old list," and then try to incorporate those things into present-day life. For example, getting in touch with friends or relatives that are tied to happy memories, or traveling to places that we miss.
"Nostalgia gives us a boost of energy coming [from] our personal inner core," she continues, adding that it pushes us in a unique way, making us want to get up, go out, and keep going.
A therapist who works with people navigating major life transitions echoes that view. As a psychotherapist and Master Grief & Transition Coach, Dr. Katie Eastman, PsyD, LICSW, says she often encourages people to think of nostalgia not as living in the past but as visiting the past for resources. "This perspective is supported by both Robert Butler’s Life Review Theory, which describes reflection as a healthy developmental process in later life, and Continuing Bonds Theory, which recognizes that maintaining an ongoing inner connection with loved ones who have died can be an important part of healing."
When people revisit cherished memories, Dr. Eastman says they often experience renewed feelings of love, meaning, gratitude, and connection. "In my work, I see nostalgia become a bridge that helps people navigate loneliness, retirement, and grief while carrying the best of their past into the future."
Becker Holstein's advice: Grab that old picture album with both hands and laugh your head off with a funny memory. "You will live longer and with more happiness, all because of the memories you have built."

Before 'Royal Court' and 'The Broski Report,' Brittany Broski Was Known for One Viral Meme
These days, Brittany Broski is known for interviewing celebrities on Royal Court—including a recent episode in which Harry Styles revealed the 2010s look he now "deeply regrets"—hosting The Broski Report, and building a loyal following that affectionately refers to itself as "Broski Nation."
But before the podcast episodes, medieval-themed celebrity interviews, and Vanity Fair Oscar Party appearances, Broski was best known by a very different title: Kombucha Girl. Back in 2019, the internet couldn't get enough of a TikTok video showing Broski trying kombucha for the first time. Her rapidly shifting facial expressions, cycling from disgust to curiosity to cautious approval, instantly became meme material.
The clip spread far beyond TikTok, transforming Broski into one of the platform's earliest breakout stars.
Brittany Broski's Viral Kombucha Video Changed EverythingAt the time, Broski wasn't pursuing internet fame full-time. According to multiple interviews, she had been working in trust and investment services at a bank after holding previous customer service roles.
However, the viral success of the kombucha video altered the course of her career. Broski has since shared that she lost her job after her employer became concerned that her newfound internet notoriety reflected poorly on the company.
Rather than retreating from the spotlight, Broski leaned into content creation.
Over the following years, she expanded beyond reaction videos and memes, developing a voice that resonated with audiences drawn to her humor, pop culture commentary, and unabashed fangirl energy. In 2022, she co-hosted the podcast Violating Community Guidelines alongside fellow creator Sarah Schauer.
The following year, she launched The Broski Report, which quickly found an audience of its own. According to reports, the podcast's debut episode became one of Spotify's most-streamed podcast episodes in the United States shortly after its release.

'Royal Court' Helped Brittany Broski Reach a New AudienceBroski took another major step in 2023 with the launch of Royal Court, a YouTube interview series blending celebrity conversations with elaborate, medieval-themed comedy.
Guests have included actors and musicians, with Broski using the format to deliver the type of celebrity interviews she says she wanted to see as a fan herself.
"We've been trying to position Royal Court as this necessary press stop," Broski told Vanity Fair earlier this year while discussing her growing presence in entertainment media.
The strategy appears to be working.
In addition to expanding Royal Court, Broski has continued hosting The Broski Report, ventured into music, and even co-hosted the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party livestream.
For many fans discovering Broski through her more recent projects, it may come as a surprise that one of the internet's most recognizable creators first captured the public's attention with a single sip of fermented tea.
But six years after becoming "Kombucha Girl," Broski has proven she's much more than a viral moment.
