Some songs take months or even years to finish. Others arrive almost overnight.

Released as a single in 1973, Maureen McGovern's "The Morning After" became one of the year's biggest hits, spending two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and eventually earning Gold certification. But the song's journey began under an incredibly tight deadline. It was written in a single night for the 1972 disaster film The Poseidon Adventure, and 53 years ago today it climbed to the top of the charts.

Songwriters Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn were approached in March 1972 by producer Irwin Allen, who asked them to write the love theme for The Poseidon Adventure. According to Fred Bronson's "The Billboard Book of No. 1 Hits," Allen gave them just one day to complete the assignment.

"The production schedule called for the song to be recorded the following Monday, and Allen wanted to hear the completed tune on Friday," Bronson writes. Kasha and Hirschhorn spent the night at Kasha's home working at the piano over "some strong, black coffee."

"We stumbled in the next morning," Hirschhorn recalled. "They said, 'It's perfect!'"

Originally, the song carried a much darker title: "Why Must There Be a Morning After?" Allen and director Ronald Neame felt audiences needed a more hopeful message for the disaster film, so it was shortened to simply "The Morning After." Even The Poseidon Adventure itself nearly received a different title before the studio decided to stick with Paul Gallico's original name.

Although actress Carol Lynley appeared to sing the song in The Poseidon Adventure, the vocals heard in the film actually belonged to session singer Renee Armand. When it came time to release the song as a commercial single, record executive Russ Regan searched for a new voice and discovered an unknown Ohio singer named Maureen McGovern after hearing one of her demo tapes.

According to Bronson, Kasha and Hirschhorn initially played McGovern's recording and "were very shaken by it."

"He had never heard of this girl in his life," Kasha said. "He asked us what we thought of it and we told him we loved it. We weren't just being Monday morning quarterbacks. We thought she captured the song so beautifully."

The record got off to a relatively slow start, but everything changed after "The Morning After" won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

"It started off slowly, debuting at number 99 on the Hot 100 dated June 23, 1973," Bronson writes. "Its chart progress sharply increased in its third week on the chart; it moved 99-86-42-29-20-9 to number one."

The song spent two weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 and finished as Billboard's No. 28 song of 1973. It also earned a Gold certification after selling more than one million copies, while helping launch McGovern's career, which later included another Oscar-winning disaster movie theme, "We May Never Love Like This Again" from The Towering Inferno, and the hit "Different Worlds" from the TV series Angie.

Looking back, Kasha believed the song resonated because its message reached far beyond the film.

"It struck a chord of hope," he said. "It can be read as a personalized kind of song. It could be read as a love song. It could be read as a song for a person who's on alcohol or some kind of drug, there's got to be a morning after, meaning getting through the night… It's just a great song of hope."

Nearly 60 years since its release, Cream’s 1966 classic “I Feel Free” remains one of the band’s timeless classics.

The trio, which was named by Louder Sound as the “greatest supergroup of all time,” created a song that is celebrated for its unique fusion of blues rock, psychedelic pop and a cappella vocal harmonies by lead singer and bassist Jack Bruce.

Along with his bandmates, Eric Clapton on guitar and vocals and Ginger Baker on drums, the all-star group introduced “I Feel Free” as their second single.

At that time, the song was originally released as a standalone single in the UK but was later included as the opening track on the North American edition of their debut album, Fresh Cream.

Written by Jack Bruce alongside British poet Pete Brown, who also teamed up with the band on “Sunshine of Your Love” and “White Room,” the lyrics focus on breaking free from ordinary bounds and expressing liberation and newfound freedom.

Apart from its meaningful lyrics, “I Feel Free” also features an early recorded example of Clapton’s signature “woman tone” guitar technique, which later became a defining element of songs such as “Sunshine of Your Love.”

The psychedelic pop-rock song gained traction in the UK, debuting at No. 50 on the UK Singles Chart before eventually climbing to No. 11, marking one of the band’s first major hits.

However, “I Feel Free” had less commercial success in the United States. It only peaked at No. 116 on the Billboard Hot 100 while their album Fresh Cream performed better, climbing to No. 39 on the Billboard 200.

Despite its modest commercial success in the U.S., the 1966 track has continued to influence generations of musicians and remains a favorite among listeners nearly six decades after its release.

On Cream’s official YouTube channel, fans are celebrating the timeless appeal of “I Feel Free,” with many praising the band’s groundbreaking musicianship and calling it a “masterpiece.”

“Such a sensuous, poetic masterpiece. Jack Bruce was a phenomenal singer!” one wrote.

“Still a classic tune,” a YouTube user said.

“There is nothing, and never will be, anything like this ever,” another added.

“The first 30 seconds of this song are absolutely insane,” a fan echoed.

The same goes for a commenter who said, “This is Cream’s best song. They all got their best licks in.”

One of disco's most recognizable invitations began with a far more innocent meaning.

In 1979, Anita Ward made "Ring My Bell" a worldwide hit. The song's chiming hook, electronic percussion and Ward's light, unmistakable vocal helped it stand out even during a year packed with disco successes.

Ward had followed a much different path to the recording studio. The Memphis native sang with the Rust College A Cappella Choir and later formed a gospel quartet before working as a substitute teacher. She met singer-songwriter Frederick Knight through her manager, and what was supposed to be a three-song session became her debut album, Songs of Love.

The album was nearly complete when everyone involved decided it needed another upbeat song. Knight returned with "Ring My Bell," but he had not written it with Ward in mind. The song was originally intended for 11-year-old Stacy Lattisaw as a child-friendly number about young people talking on the telephone.

After Lattisaw signed with another label, Knight repurposed the song for Ward. "The title was so catchy I kept that, but changed the lyrics," he explained. The rewritten version traded the original's innocent premise for an adult invitation, though Knight left its exact meaning open to listeners.

Knight also played the keyboards and percussion, including the distinctive synthesized drum heard throughout the track. He said the entire record was completed in only two days. Ward had doubts about recording it and later admitted that it "was a song that I thought I didn't like."

Ward's doubts did not stop listeners from embracing it. "Ring My Bell" reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks and also topped its soul and disco charts. It spent two weeks at No. 1 in the United Kingdom, and the performance earned Ward a Grammy nomination for Female R&B Vocal Performance in 1980.

Ward never matched its chart success with another single, but the song continued reaching listeners long after disco's commercial peak. In 2026, it found another audience through a TikTok trend that sent U.S. weekly streams to 2.53 million. A song first meant for one 11-year-old had become a favorite passed between generations.

For years, millions of people watched Shay and Tanner Martin face the unimaginable together. Now, one year after Tanner's death, Shay just shared a huge life update with fans—and not everyone knows how to feel about it.

The influencer announced on Sunday, August 2, that she has remarried, sharing an emotional video on Instagram explaining how she reached the decision after losing Tanner to stage 4 colon cancer in June 2025.

Addressing the followers who have supported her family through the years, Martin said she wanted to answer the questions she'd been seeing about how she and their daughter AmyLou have been doing. "It's been a year filled with both heartbreak and sadness, but also incredible blessings," she said. "We've welcomed AmyLou. We've lost Tanner. I moved home to Arizona where I grew up, and I found love again."

Martin explained that her late husband had long hoped she would one day find someone who would love both her and their daughter. "One of the greatest hopes Tanner had was that I would find someone who would love AmyLou as his own. And honor the life that Tanner and I built together," she shared.

She went on to say her new husband has embraced Tanner's memory rather than replacing it, and shared some footage from their wedding day. "He has never asked me to leave Tanner behind. Never," Martin said. "He honors Tanner."

One important message she wanted to share with her followers was that “moving forward is not the same as moving on." She also acknowledged that, during Tanner's illness, she once believed she would never remarry before realizing, "There is enough love to give. You can never run out of love, and I will never graduate from grief."

Martin's announcement quickly sparked a wide range of reactions.

“Remarrying only after a year is insane,” one wrote in the comments.

Another asked, “She got a new man and her husband died a year ago???????”

“A year goes by so quickly. How does this happen so fast? I’m happy for you but it feels so unnaturally fast,” said a third.

But others were supportive of Shay’s journey.

“I’m so happy for you. ❤️ I know some people might have mixed feelings or questions about moving on after loss, so I wanted to share that anticipatory grief is very real,” one wrote.

“There’s no timeline on love and grief. Both intertwined. I’m happy for you Shay!” shared another.

“Him sitting at Tanner’s bench is so sweet. Happy for you Shay 🤍,” one noted.

Shay reminded followers that the account she and Tanner built together was created to document their journey, raise awareness for colon cancer, and educate others about grief—not to share every detail of her family's life. "My first responsibility is to my family, not the internet," she said, adding that she plans to continue honoring Tanner's legacy of "kindness, hope, and assuming good intent."

Clean industrial lines meet a warm, rustic finish in this tall, narrow bookshelf that makes the most of vertical space. Thanks to its slim footprint, the piece fits comfortably into apartment corners, beside a desk, next to a sofa, or in otherwise underutilized spaces throughout the home.

A matte black metal frame creates an open, architectural silhouette, while the wood-look shelves feature rich walnut-inspired graining with natural tonal variation, giving the appearance of stained wood. The frame extends slightly above the top shelf, creating a gallery-style border that visually frames the entire piece. Below, the enclosed storage compartment blends seamlessly into the design with a matching wood-look drawer front and a black cup pull that nods to classic apothecary hardware. It's also available in an all-black finish for a more modern, monochromatic look.

Designed for both display and concealed storage, the bookshelf features three open shelves with plenty of room for everything from hardcover books and framed photos to woven baskets, candles, trailing plants, and decorative objects. The varying shelf heights make it easy to mix taller pieces with smaller accents for a styled, layered look. 

A removable fabric drawer at the bottom of this bookshelf acts almost like a storage bin, measuring approximately 13.9 inches wide by 9.9 inches deep by 11.7 inches high. It's ideal for tucking away office supplies, electronics, charging cables, remotes, notebooks, or other everyday clutter you'd rather keep out of sight.

Legendary guitarist John William Lowery, better known as John 5, has worked with everyone from Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson to David Lee Roth, Dolly Parton, and Mötley Crüe. Now, he's adding horror-rock icon Wednesday 13 to his impressive list.

In news shared today, Aug. 2, John 5 announced the surprise collaboration for the summer/fall 2027 touring season. He and his solo band, The Creatures, are handing vocal duties over to Joseph Poole, stage name Wednesday 13, for a round of shows.

According to Blabbermouth, the collaboration marks the first time The Creatures have included a singer. To mark the occasion, they plan to perform songs spanning John 5's career, which also includes stints with crossover artists such as Avril Lavigne, Meat Loaf, Ozzy Osbourne, Slash, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

The group’s first show is set for the Wacken Open Air Festival, scheduled for July 28 to 31, 2027, in Wacken, Germany.

“I’ve really missed playing these songs that for years were so much a part of my life,” John 5 said, per Blabbermouth. “Having such an amazing showman as Wednesday 13 join me will ensure the performances are killer. And to have the first show we announce be the Wacken festival in 2027 is truly awesome.”

For Wednesday 13, he, too, sees the collaboration as an honor and a great opportunity to relive some of heavy metal and hard rock’s greatest hits.

“I am absolutely thrilled to be sharing the stage with John 5,” Wednesday 13 said. “He has been such a staple in the music world and is one of the best and most respected guitarists out there.”

Speaking to his and John 5’s relationship over the years, Wednesday 13 said, “John and I have been friends for years, and we have toured together with our bands going all the way back to 2010. All the projects he's been involved with over the years are all of my favorite bands, and have been such an influence on me. To be able to sing some of these songs along with him is truly an honor. I really can't wait to get out on the road next year.”

A truly versatile guitar virtuoso, John 5 began strumming at the age of 7. He moved to L.A. at 18 and found work as a high-demand session musician for soundtracks, TV, and artists like k.d. lang. His breakthrough came in 1998 when he contributed to the DLR Band album with Van Halen frontman Roth.

From there, John 5 joined Manson’s crew, contributing heavily to Holy Wood and The Golden Age Grotesque. In 2006, he joined Zombie’s outfit, serving as main co-writer and lead guitarist for more than a decade. Then, in 2022, he joined Mötley Crüe, stepping in for Mick Mars when he retired.

Today, he tours solo and with Mötley Crüe. As a solo act, John 5 has released nearly a dozen acclaimed instrumental albums, including Vertigo and Sinner, showcasing his lightning-fast hybrid picking on Fender Telecasters.

Meanwhile, Wednesday 13, a distinctive voice and musician known as the “Duke of Spook,” leads the titular horror-themed punk rock and heavy metal band. He started in the ‘90s in North Carolina, fronting the horror punk group Maniac Spider Trash until 1996 before forming Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13.

In the early 2000s, he achieved mainstream recognition as the frontman of Murderdolls, a horror punk-slash-glam metal band he founded with Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison. Notable albums include Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls in 2002 and Women and Children Last in 2010.

The mid-2000s saw the frontman launch Wednesday 13, with his debut album, Transylvania 90210: Songs of Death, Dying and the Dead, introducing his tour-de-force theatrical style and horror-rock sound to genre fans. Since then, he’s released 10 studio albums under his own name, including Horrifier in 2022 and Mid Death Crisis in 2025.

Additional North American and European dates are expected to be announced in the coming months.

A decade after her last studio album, the “Queen of Heavy Metal” Lita Ford is making her long-awaited return with a major career update.

Best known for being the lead guitarist of the iconic all-female band The Runaways, the 67-year-old musician shows no signs of slowing down.

In her recent interview with Scott Davidson of Chicago's Rebel Radio, she shared an update on her upcoming album.

According to her, they are working on administrative processes with the record companies to release the album, which they hope will arrive later this year.

"We're trying to get this record out, going back and forth with paperwork through the record companies, and so we're hoping for a September record, in which case, the touring is gonna pick up and everything is gonna be off the charts. So I'm excited. Fingers crossed,” she revealed, as transcribed by Blabbermouth.

As for the journey, especially the songwriting process, Ford shared that she prefers the traditional route instead of relying on technology.

“As a matter of fact, if you have a good idea, if you can somehow get to a guitar, play that riff, write down the lyrics and the title, because I don't know why, but it changes almost instantly if you don't put it down, as how you hear it originally,” the musician explained, emphasizing the importance of capturing a song idea before its original spark fades.

Prior to this, the iconic singer hinted that she would release a new “badass” album this fall.

Ford also revealed that the album will feature a “killer duet" with fellow “queen of metal” Doro Pesch and a collaboration with former The Plasmatics singer and bassist Jean Beauvoir.

“It's great. She nailed it, and the song is fantastic,” she told SiriusXM's Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk. “So I'm excited for everybody to hear that. And then I did another track with Jean Beauvoir. We wrote a great song together. [He's] super talented, and the song is magic. And, of course, Gary Hoey produced it, and there's lots of guitar playing on it and stuff. [Legendary 1980s producer] Max Norman mixed it. So, it's badass."

The "Close My Eyes Forever” singer has released nine studio albums since launching her solo music career in 1983, with her last record, Time Capsule, a collection of previously unreleased songs recorded in the 1980s which she released in 2016.

In 1981, a rising rock band known as Def Leppard released a song called "Bringin' On the Heartbreak" that would go on to become their first track to gain major attention and success, launching their music career.

The song was originally released on Def Leppard's second studio album called High 'n' Dry, which came out in 1981. The song was then released as an official single later the same year in 1981 in the U.S., and in January the next year in the U.K.

At the time of the song's release, the lead singer of the band, Joe Elliott, was only 21 years old. Fellow members Pete Willis, Steve Clark, and Rick Savage were also 21, while the drummer, Rick Allen, was only 17 years old. Clark, Willis, and Elliott wrote the track "Bringin' On the Heartbreak" together.

When the power ballad came out, it didn't break into the Billboard Hot 100 chart at all, but it gained attention thanks to MTV, the music TV channel that launched not long before that. The music video was played a lot by MTV, leading to the single getting recognition.

Thanks to the attention on the music video, Def Leppard's album also gained more fans. In the end, it sold over two million copies.

High 'n' Dry was subsequently re-released in 1984. The new version of the album included a remix of "Bringin' On the Heartbreak." The remix was also released as an official single by Def Leppard, and this time around, the song made it onto the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 61.

In 2002, a surprising artist covered "Bringin' On the Heartbreak." Mariah Carey released her version of the song on her album Charmbracelet. Elliott commented on the cover, telling the Las Vegas Sun, via Songfacts, "I think she's done a very good job. It's faithful to the arrangement, but not done like a rock song."

These days, however, "times are tough," and singles across the U.S. are opting either not to date right now or to scale back dates to affordable activities amid financial pressures.

Earlier this year, Parade reported on a now-viral trend called "infla-dating" (focusing on the quality time spent together instead of spending a ton of money on the date) and compiled a list of the best "cheap date ideas for your and your boo," such as a drive-in night, hiking and visiting an art museum.

Why the Budget-Friendly Mentality Is Encouraging

More recently, USA Today reported on a newly viral term called "dateflation" that runs along the same lines. Though some might be disappointed to hear that singles are sidelining pricey dates, the budget-friendly date mentality can actually present a positive shift for people's love lives by pushing them to get creative and prioritize connection over financial flexing.

"The reality is, a lot of people are struggling in today’s economy and they’re opting out of dating completely because it’s too expensive," Amy Chan, dating coach and author of Unsingle: How to Date Smarter and Create Love that Lasts, told USA Today in an article published Sunday, August 2. "I see this more in my male clients who feel embarrassed that they cannot take a date out to a nice restaurant. If the antidote for that is infladating then I’m all for it!"

Helloween’s “Keeper of the Seven Keys” remains one of the standout long songs in rock and metal history, 38 years after its release. The track appeared on the German power metal band’s 1988 album Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part II and became the longest song in the band’s catalog at the time.

According to Spotify, “Keeper of the Seven Keys” runs for 13:37. Its long playing time did not stop it from becoming an important part of Helloween’s classic era. The song also helped define the large-scale sound that made the band a major name in European power metal.

The track was later surpassed in length by “The King for a Thousand Years,” which runs for 13:54 and appeared on 2005’s Keeper of the Seven Keys: The Legacy. Still, the original “Keeper of the Seven Keys” remains closely linked to the band’s most important period.

Helloween’s 1988 Power Metal Classic

Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part II was released in 1988 as the follow-up to Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part I, which arrived in 1987.

The two albums became central to Helloween’s rise. Part I marked the first appearance of vocalist Michael Kiske with the band and is widely regarded as a major release in the development of European-style power metal.

The second album continued that success. It performed strongly across Europe and Asia and also reached audiences in the United States. It went gold in Germany and reached No. 108 on the U.S. Billboard 200.

The album also included “Eagle Fly Free,” “Dr. Stein,” “I Want Out” and “March of Time.” “I Want Out” became one of Helloween’s best-known songs and was later covered by several metal bands, including Gamma Ray, HammerFall and Sonata Arctica.

But the title track stood apart because of its unusual length and scale.

At 13:37, “Keeper of the Seven Keys” was much longer than most songs on the album. The other tracks generally lasted between four and five minutes, while the title track filled more than 13 minutes with its extended arrangement.

The song remained Helloween’s longest track for many years. That changed in 2005 when the band released Keeper of the Seven Keys: The Legacy. Its opening song, “The King for a 1000 Years,” runs for 13:54.

The Keeper of the Seven Keys name has continued to play an important role in Helloween’s history.

In 2005, the band released Keeper of the Seven Keys: The Legacy, a double album that continued the idea of the earlier records. The album featured Andi Deris on vocals, Michael Weikath and Sascha Gerstner on guitar, Markus Grosskopf on bass and Dani Löble on drums.

The band made it clear that The Legacy was not meant to simply copy the old albums. Bassist Markus Grosskopf explained that the idea came after a Japanese record company representative praised the lineup and suggested they could make a Keeper album.

The band then decided to approach the project differently and create something new.

The Keeper story is still being discussed by the band today. In a March 2026 interview, singer Andi Deris was asked if there could be another chapter in the series. 

He said, “Oh, there's definitely some keys left,” while also explaining that a new Keeper album could reflect the political situation of the present day.

When an interviewer suggested that now could be a good time for a fourth album, Deris agreed: “It would be a good time for part four.”

Helloween has also continued making new music. The band released Giants & Monsters in August 2025, and in July 2026, Kiske said another studio album was already largely completed. He said the band had “way too many songs” left over from the latest album and estimated that the new record was “90% at least already done.”

For fans looking back at Helloween’s history, however, “Keeper of the Seven Keys” remains a defining piece of the band’s 1988 era. Nearly four decades later, its place in the group’s classic catalog has not disappeared.

By the fall of 1971, Slade had spent years trying to break through.

After a series of minor hits, that breakthrough finally arrived with "Coz I Luv You," a stomping rock anthem that showcased the band's unmistakable sound. Released on Oct. 8, 1971, the single featured lead vocals from Noddy Holder alongside backing vocals from bassist and violinist Jim Lea, who had turned 22 just four months earlier. It became the song that transformed Slade from a promising rock act into one of Britain's biggest bands.

"Coz I Luv You" marked a turning point in Slade's career.

Written by Holder and Lea, the song combined a pounding beat with an unforgettable violin hook performed by Lea, creating a distinctive sound that separated the band from many of its contemporaries. Its intentionally misspelled title also became part of Slade's signature style, with similarly playful spellings appearing throughout the band’s biggest hits.

"With 'Coz I Luv You' we'd had 'Get Down And Get With It' as our first hit and it was about coming up with the next one," Lea said in a 2018 interview. "Because 'Get Down And Get With It' was an everybody-join-in type thing I thought to write something like that is just going to be a cop-out. So I thought about bridging the fact that we were going to make a pop single with trying to make it a bit gritty as well. So I came up with [sings melody] and I got my acoustic guitar and I went over to Nod's."

Listeners responded immediately.

"Coz I Luv You" climbed to No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart, giving Slade its first chart-topper and beginning an extraordinary run of success. Over the next several years, the band would score a string of No. 1 singles and become one of Britain's defining glam rock acts.

"I remember that at that time there was colour television and it really was a wonderful experience," lead guitarist Dave Hill told UK Music Reviews. "For me, it was a great opportunity to be myself, to be able to do the costumes together with everything else that I did" 

The song also highlighted the chemistry between the four musicians.

While Holder's raspy lead vocal gave "Coz I Luv You" its unmistakable character, Lea's musical versatility proved equally important. In addition to providing backing vocals, he anchored the track with his bass playing and memorable violin performance, helping shape one of the band’s most recognizable recordings.

Its influence has endured for generations.

"Coz I Luv You" remains a staple of classic rock and glam rock compilations, and its singalong chorus continues to resonate with audiences more than five decades after its release. It also laid the foundation for later Slade classics including "Take Me Bak 'Ome," "Mama Weer All Crazee Now," and the perennial favorite "Merry Xmas Everybody."

"It's only recently where people have said I saw Jim Lea from Slade with an electric violin playing on Top Of The Pops and that's why I started playing violin," Lea said. "And you know it's really edifying to think that you might have set some trail for something that happens in the future."

More than 50 years after topping the charts, "Coz I Luv You" remains one of Slade's defining songs. Featuring a 22 year-old Jim Lea helping bring the record to life, the song became a generational No. 1 hit and launched one of the most successful careers in British rock history.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission just announced a recall for Marvel-themed movie merch sold in theaters. 

According to the CPSC’s notice, about 55,350 Fantastic Four Drinking Cups and Captain America Helmet popcorn buckets (with LED lights) are part of the current recall.

Why is the Marvel movie merchandise being recalled?

The Marvel merch subject to this recall contains button cell batteries that children could potentially access. This poses an ingestion hazard and violates the mandatory standard for these types of products.

Named for Reese Hamsmith, an 18-month-old who tragically died after swallowing a battery, Reese’s Law is a mandatory safety standard passed in 2022 to reduce the incidence of accidental button cell and coin battery ingestion by young children. Failure to meet this standard could put young children at risk for death, burns, and other serious injuries. 

Which products are part of the CPSC’s recall?

This recall doesn’t cover every promotional product issued in conjunction with Marvel movies. Instead, the affected items include blue Fantastic Four Invisible Woman and red Human Torch Drinking Cups and Captain America navy blue and silver 85-ounce Popcorn Helmet Containers with LED Lights (imported by Golden Link).

When Martha Stewart celebrates her 85th birthday on Monday, Aug. 3, she'll be marking far more than another milestone. She'll be celebrating one of the most remarkable careers— and reinventions — in American pop culture.

According to Martha Stewart's official website, Stewart worked as a model before building a successful career as a Wall Street stockbroker. In 1976, she left finance behind to launch a catering business from her own kitchen, a leap that led to her first bestselling cookbook, Entertaining, and laid the foundation for the lifestyle empire that followed.

Over the decades, Stewart transformed herself into a household name through bestselling books, award-winning television shows, magazines, home collections and countless business ventures. She has authored more than 100 books, inspired generations of home cooks and entertainers, and built a brand recognized around the world.

Yet some of Stewart's most talked-about moments have come later in life.

In 2023, she made history as the oldest cover model ever featured on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. Since then, she's continued expanding her empire with new television projects, a podcast and product lines, while remaining one of the most influential voices in food, entertaining and home design.

Earlier this year, Stewart reunited with longtime friend Snoop Doggas a correspondent for the 2026 Winter Olympics. Speaking with People before the Games, she joked that while she wasn't bringing a date to Italy, she was "waiting to meet my Italian prince."

Although many people describe her career as one long reinvention, Stewart sees it differently.

"I just call it evolution," she said during an interview with the Conferences for Women. "I don't call it reinventing. I just call it an ordinary evolution. You know, mankind has evolved in many, many different ways, as do animals. And evolution is good. I just think that we all have it in ourselves to evolve."

Phil Collins is talking about the most frightening chapter of his life, and just how close his family came to losing him.

In a new interview with The Sunday Times shared Sunday, August 2, the rocker revealed that a battle with alcohol addiction led to a life-threatening health crisis in late 2023 and early 2024 that left him unconscious in intensive care for months.

"My kidneys were packing up, my organs were just seizing up," Collins, 75, recalled to the outlet. "People were coming to say goodbye. But I don't remember them coming. I didn't have no idea this was going on. They were all worried that they wouldn't see me again. It could all have gone so terribly wrong."

The singer said all five of his children—Joely, 53, Simon, 49, Lily, 37, Nicholas, 25, and Matthew, 18—rushed to be by his side as doctors weighed difficult decisions. "There were some decisions to be made about 'Do we keep Phil on life support?' kind of thing," he shared.

Collins ended up spending seven months recovering in the hospital and says the experience changed his life. "I was very lucky to have come out of that," he said. "Needless to say, I haven't had a drink since."

Collins first hinted at the severity of his health struggles during an appearance on the BBC podcast Eras months ago. There, he described having "a difficult, frustrating few years" after undergoing five knee surgeries and confirmed he had spent months hospitalized because of his drinking.

The Genesis frontman has faced numerous health challenges over the past decade, including nerve damage stemming from the group’s 2007 reunion tour that left him unable to play drums and, at times, unable to walk without assistance. In recent photos released alongside the BBC interview, however, Collins appears noticeably healthier and said he now considers himself "totally mobile and healthy," adding, "I can walk," albeit with the help of crutches.

In a separate interview with BBC Breakfast in May, he said he turned down performing at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and doesn’t feel he’ll be ready to hit the stage any time soon—if at all. “I can’t really see it happening. But I’m healthier now than I have been for quite a while,” he said. “They asked me if I would perform and I said no, because you’ve got to be match fit to do something like that.”

Collins was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2010 with Genesis.

Vice President JD Vance celebrated his 42nd birthday on August 2—and Second Lady Usha Vance honored her husband with a series of sweet never-before-seen snapshots. 

Just two weeks after giving birth to her fourth child, son Alec Neel Vance, Usha has something else to celebrate. The VP turned 42, and while the pair didn’t reveal how they were celebrating JD’s birthday, they did share a sneak peek into their family’s life. 

Along with a simple Bday message, reading, “Wishing @VP the happiest of birthdays! We love you,” the SLOTUS’s Instagram post featured two precious pics. 

The happy couple appears in a rare dressed-down moment, gently petting a baby chick in the first photo. The second image in the Second Lady’s carousel is a cute pre-baby candid of a very pregnant Usha, the couple’s three older children (nine-year-old Ewan, six-year-old Vivek, and four-year-old Mirabel), and the VP playfully cuddling the family’s German Shepherd, Atlas.

Of course, the Second Lady wasn’t the only one to wish her hubby a happy birthday. The White House also posted an official well-wish (on Instagram): “Happy Birthday to America’s Vice President, JD Vance - a proud champion for the American people!” with a black-and-white photo of the VP laughing it up with Donald Trump.

Even though JD is getting all the attention today, his fourth child, Alec, had the spotlight all to himself back on July 19. The couple revealed their baby news, posting on Instagram, “We are excited to announce that our baby boy, Alec Neel Vance, was born this morning. Usha and the baby are happy and healthy, and our kids are overjoyed to meet their little brother.”

One week later, the Vances gave the world a glimpse of their growing family (after the President shared the first look at baby Alec on Truth Social). The VP and his wife posted their own family photos and the message, “Thank you for all the good wishes as we settle into life as a family of six.”

The Vances weren’t the only Washington, D.C. insiders to share a few BTS family photos on Instagram this weekend. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also shared a couldn’t-be-cuter carousel of herself, husband Nicholas Riccio, and children two-year-old Niko and newborn Vivi. 

Like Usha’s pics, highlights from Leavitt’s July Instagram dump also include birthday photos. But instead of her hubby, the Press Secretary’s son Niko was the one celebrating.

Leavitt also gave fans a glimpse into her private life, posting adorable images of Niki eating a funnel cake, her toddler and infant daughter snuggling, a family beach trip, and baby Vivi dressed in a patriotic America’s 250th birthday onesie.
