1967 Folk-Rock Hit, Rejected by The Monkees, Became a ‘Summer of Love’ Anthem
In the summer of 1967, more than 100,000 young people converged on San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district to champion peace, love, and psychedelic exploration. It was a countercultural shift that continues to influence society, pop culture, and advocacy today. And like every great movement, it had a beautiful moniker and soundtrack of the time.
Whether it was Jefferson Airplane’s “Somebody to Love,” The Jimi Hendrix Experience’s “Purple Haze,” or The Beatles “All You Need Is Love,” the Summer of Love was a folksy, bluesy, rhythmic celebration of the soul. Released that June, another essential track that defined the era was The Stone Poneys’ “Different Drum.” A whimsical folk-rock classic about and a timeless ode to independence, the song perfectly captured the free spirit of the era.
Sung by a 21-year-old Linda Ronstadt and written by a pre-Monkees Mike Nesmith, “Different Drum” serves as an empowering “It’s not you, it’s me” anthem. In its final form, the song’s lyrics flip traditional gender roles, rejecting the antiquated marriage narrative and instead elevating the woman to the unapologetic architect of the breakup who leaves her “pretty boy” behind.
Before the song landed with The Stone Poneys, Nesmith’s future hit was actually pitched to The Monkees. According to American Songwriter, Nesmith originally recorded the song with his band at the time, the Greenbriar Boys, as well as attempted to make it a hit with The Monkees, whose producers “shunned it.”
“I took them ‘Different Drum’ and they said all it needed was a hook,” he said in a 1971 interview. “They asked me to change it and told me it was stiff.”
When Ronstadt’s Stone Poneys, which also included Bobby Kimmel and Kenny Edwards, got hold of the song, they were in need of a hit. Their typical folk-rock sound, with Ronstadt singing harmony rather than lead, wasn’t connecting with audiences the way they’d hoped. With “Different Drum,” they got their hit.
Thrusting Ronstadt to the forefront, the song became the band’s breakthrough, while also launching Ronstadt into solo stardom. In an interview with The New Yorker in 2019, Ronstadt said even she was surprised by her rich, soothing vocals on the track.
“I had no idea that I sang as loud as I did,” she said. “I always thought I wasn’t singing loud enough, because in the early days there were no monitors. You couldn’t hear yourself.”
View this post on InstagramReleased as the lead single on the Stone Poneys’ sophomore album, Evergreen, Volume 2, “Different Drum” climbed to No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped its parent album break into the Billboard 200, ultimately landing at No. 100. Despite not making it into the Top 10 on the singles chart, the song was the catalyst that led to Ronstadt’s second charting solo, the country-soul ballad “Long, Long Time” in 1970.
The girl left her pretty boy behind and never looked back.

Garth Brooks Says He ‘Would Not Be Here’ Without This Country Music Legend
Garth Brooks rarely holds back when it comes to crediting the people who helped shape his career—but his latest tribute is one of his most emotional yet.
Brooks made a surprise appearance at the 9th Annual Arkansas Country Music Awards where his longtime producer, Allen Reynolds, was inducted into the Arkansas Music Hall of Fame.
"I would not be here tonight if it weren't for Allen,” Brooks said at the event, according to his official website. “I'm not even sure I'd still be alive. I certainly wouldn't have lived even a fraction of the life I've been blessed to live because of Allen Reynolds.”
"My dad used to tell me, ‘Son, a lion doesn't have to roar,'" Garth continued, adding. “Allen Reynolds is a lion...He's changed careers. He's changed the face of country music."
Reynolds has been instrumental in Brooks’ career, producing much of his discography. Some of Brooks’ most iconic songs—including “The Dance,” “The Thunder Rolls,” and “Friends in Low Places”—were produced by Reynolds.
Reynolds’ influence on Brooks’ career stretches back to the very beginning of his rise in Nashville, when the producer helped shape the sound that would go on to define modern country music in the 1990s. The producer has long been praised for letting the music—and the artists—take center stage. Over the years, he’s worked with other major names in country music as well, but his collaboration with Brooks remains one of the most celebrated partnerships in the genre.
The Arkansas Country Music Awards honored Reynolds not only for his production work, but also for his broader impact on songwriting and storytelling in country music. Fellow artists, including Crystal Gayle and Ricky Skaggs, were also part of the evening’s celebration.

I Went to Dollar Tree To Shop for Dinner and Came Back With These 4 Easy Meals
When I shop at Dollar Tree, I'm usually running in for a few quick essentials. It might be a bag of chips, a pack of tissues, toothpaste that I've run low on, or a last-minute holiday card or gift bag. Like many shoppers, I've always viewed Dollar Tree as a convenient stop for everyday basics rather than a place to buy dinner.
Recently, though, I decided to take a closer look at the store's grocery section.

With grocery prices continuing to rise, finding affordable and convenient meal solutions has become more important than ever.

Prince George Desperately Tries to Hold Back a Sneeze During National Anthem at Trooping the Colour
Even the most carefully choreographed royal events have their unscripted moments.
During the 2026 Trooping the Colour celebrations on Saturday, June 13, Prince Georgehad a relatable mishap while standing alongside members of the royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
As the Royal Air Force's traditional flypast came to an end and the national anthem played, the 12-year-old appeared to be battling an untimely sneeze. In a video shared by The Telegraph on X, George could be seen desperately trying to suppress it as he stood at attention beside his parents, Prince Williamand Kate Middleton, as well as his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8.
Prince George struggled to hold back a sneeze while watching the annual Trooping the Colour flypast.

Thankfully, the future king held it together until the anthem concluded. But once the music stopped, George covered his nose and mouth before finally sneezing, prompting a smile and brief laugh between him and his mother.
“Prince George deserves a medal for this level of self-control,” one X user wrote.
Another said, “Aww bless him, caught without a tissue. He looks as if he might have a touch of hayfever. Princess Catherine straight into mom mode.”
“Prince George fighting a sneeze during the anthem with Kate Middleton had me dying,” a third shared.
While George shared the carriage ride with his mother and siblings earlier in the day, Prince William participated in a different part of the festivities. In his role as Colonel of the Welsh Guards, the Prince of Wales rode on horseback during the Trooping the Colour procession while wearing the regiment's ceremonial uniform, complete with a bright red tunic, bearskin hat, Garter sash, and ceremonial sword. Middleton, meanwhile, traveled by carriage alongside the three kids.
What is Trooping the Color?Trooping the Colour marks the official birthday celebration of the reigning monarch and dates back more than 260 years. The event typically includes a procession from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade, military displays, and the highly anticipated Royal Air Force flypast, which senior members of the royal family watch from the palace balcony (as we saw in the adorable video).
The ‘Healthy’ Food That’s Silently Damaging Your Liver, According to a Hepatologist
Liver health often doesn’t generate the same level of buzz that talking about gut health or brain health does, but it’s just as important. According to a scientific article published in the Journal of Hepatology, liver disease is a leading global cause of mortality, accounting for one out of 25 deaths worldwide.
In the U.S., roughly 25% of people have metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formally known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. MASLD occurs when there is extra fat buildup in liver cells that is not caused by alcohol. When this happens, the liver can swell and become damaged. This fat buildup can lead to irreversible scarring known as cirrhosis.

What can you do to avoid this? Prevention includes taking steps to maintain a healthy weight through diet, physical activity and medication (if needed). While you may think you know everything you need to about supporting your liver through what you eat, there’s one food that sounds healthy, but isn’t as nutritious as many people think. In fact, consuming it in excess could actually damage the liver, not support it.
What is this food that sounds healthier than it actually is, and how does eating it regularly impact the liver? Keep reading to find out.

The ‘Healthy’ Food That Can Damage Your LiverOne food that certainly sounds like a healthy snack to keep stashed in your pantry is protein bars. After all, getting adequate protein becomes even more important as we age. Unfortunately, many protein bars aren’t as healthy as most people assume, full of additives like sugar, which is often in the form of high-fructose corn syrup.
For example, according to a 2025 survey that took into account 458 snack bars sold in popular supermarkets, 37% were classified as “high sugar.” Even though the bars were marketed as “healthy,” their sugar content was comparable to the sugar content in candy bars.
Related: The Common Medication Hepatologists Wish People Would Stop Taking So Casually
The high sugar content in protein bars can be detrimental to liver health, especially when eaten regularly. “Too much added sugar, especially high-fructose corn syrup, can cause fat to build up in the liver. Over time, this can contribute to fatty liver disease, liver inflammation and even scarring. Excess sugar can also worsen insulin resistance, which is closely linked to liver disease,” Dr. Qin Rao, MD, a gastroenterologist and hepatologist with Manhattan Gastroenterology, tells Parade.
To this point, a 2023 scientific review published in Hepatology Communicationsfound a direct connection between high sugar consumption and MASLD.
Besides being high in sugar, many protein bars contain ingredients high in saturated fats, like palm oil. This, too, can be bad for liver health when eaten in excess. “Saturated fats can increase fat accumulation in the liver and make it harder for the body to use insulin effectively. Over time, this may increase the risk of fatty liver disease and contribute to liver inflammation,” Dr. Rao says.
What To Look for in a Healthier Protein BarThis doesn’t mean that protein bars should be avoided at all costs. It just means that you should read the nutrition panel a bit more closely when shopping for them instead of just assuming it’s healthy—even if the package says it is.
When shopping for protein bars, Dr. Rao suggests looking for ones that are low in added sugar, high in fiber and made with healthy fats from nuts and seeds. “Bars with simple, minimally processed ingredients and plant-based protein sources are generally better choices for liver health."
High-Protein Foods That Support Liver HealthInstead of relying on protein bars for a quick hit of protein, a healthier choice is noshing on whole foods that are high in protein. Some examples of this include unsalted nuts, edamame, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds or Greek yogurt. All of these foods serve as a protein-packed snack just as well as protein bars and don’t require any preparation or cooking.
“Fatty fish like salmon, legumes such as beans and lentils, nuts and Greek yogurt are excellent choices. These foods provide protein along with healthy fats, fiber and other nutrients that can help reduce liver fat and inflammation,” Dr. Rao explains of foods that support liver health.
If you want the snacks you keep in your kitchen to support your liver, the key is to focus on foods that are minimally processed and low in sugar. “It's important to remember that no single food determines liver health,” Dr. Rao says. “A balanced diet, regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight and limiting processed foods and added sugars have the biggest impact on protecting the liver.”
Switching out your protein bar for a handful of nuts, seeds or edamame will fuel your body just as much—and you won’t be damaging your liver in the process.

Vanessa Trump Shares Update Amid Breast Cancer Battle, ‘I’m Grateful To Be Healing’
Vanessa Trump recently shared a health update amid her ongoing fight against breast cancer. The 44-year-old initially revealed her diagnosis on May 20.
Last month, Trump posted on her Instagram page, “I want to share a personal health update. I’ve recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. While this isn’t news anyone expects, I’m working closely with my medical team on a treatment plan.”
She went on to add, “I would like to thank my doctors for performing a procedure earlier this week on me. I am staying focused and hopeful while surrounded by the love and support of my family, my kids, and those closest to me.”
After her diagnosis, Trump’s boyfriend, pro golfer Tiger Woods, briefly returned home from his stay at a Swiss rehab center to support Vanessa and reportedly to attend Kai Trump’s high school graduation (Kai is Vanessa’s eldest child, with Donald Trump Jr.). He later flew back to Switzerland, but was recently spotted in the U.S. again.
On Saturday, June 13, Trump posted a new statement on her Instagram page, revealing, “I wanted to share an update on my cancer journey. Over the past four weeks, I’ve been recovering from surgery, and I’m grateful to be healing and moving forward. Soon, I’ll be starting the second stage of my treatment. Sending love, strength, and hope to everyone fighting this battle.”
Of course, Woods isn't the only person close to Vanessa supporting her through this challenging time. While the comments on Trump's initial Instagram post have now been deleted, former sister-in-lawIvanka Trumpsent her love, writing (last May), “Praying for your continued strength and swift recovery. Love you mama,” and Vanessa’s daughter Kai posted a sweet mother-daughter graduation day pic (on her Instagram Stories) with the title, “Strongest person I know. Love you.”
Earlier in May, Kai also posted a heartfelt Mother’s Day message to Vanessa, writing, “Happy Mother’s Day to the nest Mom I could ever ask for. I’m so thankful and lucky to have you in my life. Thank you for always supporting me and loving your 5 kids. You are such an amazing Mom and we are all so lucky to have you.”
View this post on InstagramKai continued, “I appreciate you more than anything.” As of now, there is no additional information on the specific “second stage of treatment” that Vanessa Trump will undergo in the upcoming weeks.

NBA Star James Harden Arrested and Charged
NBA star James Harden is facing a legal issue off the court.
The 36-year-old Cleveland Cavaliers guard was arrested on the morning of Saturday, June 13 in Texas and charged with unlawful carrying of weapons, according to TMZ. Authorities allege that Harden was found with a handgun inside his vehicle that was not properly secured.
Per the report, the firearm was allegedly in plain sight and was not being carried in a holster. The charge is classified as a misdemeanor.
Harden was later released on bond and is scheduled to appear in court on June 22.
As part of the conditions of his release, the outlet reports that Harden is prohibited from possessing any firearms, ammunition or other weapons. He is also barred from using or possessing alcohol, controlled substances, dangerous drugs or marijuana unless prescribed by a physician. According to the reported bond terms, he may also be subject to random urinalysis.
Fans were a bit shocked by the news, taking to social media to share their opinions.
“Man, of all the things to get arrested for in Texas… a gun in plain sight? Not even concealed or anything crazy. Hope it’s just a careless mistake and not a bigger issue,” one person wrote on X.
“james harden getting arrested for guns is the last thing i expected on a random saturday. Why do these successful guys always turn out to be their own worse enemy,” said another.
The incident took place in Houston, a city where Harden spent a nine-season tenure with the Houston Rockets. Most recently, Harden completed his first season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were eliminated by the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals last month.
At the time of publication, neither Harden nor representatives for the Cavaliers have publicly responded.
Daytime Emmy Winner Peter Bergman Reveals Why 'Beyond the Gates' Crossover Was Unlike Anything in His Career (Exclusive)
The Young and the Restless had the opportunity to welcome CBS’s newest daytime drama, Beyond the Gates, into the daytime fold with a historic crossover event. Now Daytime Emmy winner Peter Bergman shares what it was like to be a part of such a monumental moment for daytime television.
In an exclusive interview with Parade, Bergman revealed that when CBS first approached him, his reaction was “What took you so long?” He was chomping at the bit to be a part of this moment.
The actor explained, “I was thrilled to be included in this little group that got to visit, and there will be more, because I came back telling everybody what a cool experience it was, so I think everybody's going to be ‘behind the gates’ before too long. Yeah, I gotta say, it was just a lovely experience, and I thought it would be good; it was better than I ever expected.”
Comparing his experience on Beyond the Gates with his previous crossover appearances on The Bold and the Beautiful, Bergman reminded fans that “Bold and Beautiful is a neighbor; it was across the hall, so I knew everybody there.”
Meanwhile, with Beyond the Gates, it was all new faces. “It was a whole company I got to meet.”
Bergman explained that the most interesting thing was how everyone started at the same time. “When I went to Bold and Beautiful, there was a hierarchy. There were the people who'd been there for 20 years, and people who'd been there for 10 years, and people who'd just been hired. At Beyond the Gates, everybody had the same weight, the same investment, the same joy in what they were doing. It was a unique experience, unlike anything I'd ever experienced.”
During the crossover event, a giant tornado tore through Fairmont Crest, leaving the city ravaged, including the country club that hosted The Young and the Restless crossover event.
Reflecting on filming the stunt, Bergman added, “It was intense, but try to do that on any other daytime set, and people are cranky, and jaded, and saying ‘we've been doing this for how long? Now we've got to do these crazy night shoots?’”
Meanwhile, Bergman acknowledged that the cast and crew of Beyond the Gates were engaged. “Everyone's attitude was acknowledging that we're doing something special, we're doing something unique. We're a new show; we're turning this into everything it can be. You saw that everywhere, and the folks from The Young and the Restless were dazzled.”
Discussing the final product, Bergman shared, “I think the scale of it is stunning.” He added, “The number of people involved is pretty amazing.”
Bergman acknowledged that he’s been part of daytime television for a really long time, having started his career on All My Children as Dr. Cliff Warner in 1979, and that this stunt was unlike anything he's been a part of. Sharing, “I've never seen anything like this.”
The Young and the Restless airs weekdays on CBS and streams weeknights on Paramount+.
Beyond the Gates airs weekdays on CBS and streams weeknights on Paramount+.
‘Euphoria’ Showrunner Reveals How He Pitched the Ending to Zendaya
Euphoria creator Sam Levinson admits pitching Rue's tragic death in the season three finale to Zendaya wasn't easy.
The writer-director admitted to Variety's Half Hour With series that he had an "emotional reaction" to telling Zendaya that her character wouldn't survive the HBO show. “We love the character Rue. [Zendaya] has done such an incredible job bringing this character to life … in the hands of a lesser actor, the character wouldn’t be as charming and lovable and humorous.”
In the last ever episode of the controversial series, Zendaya's character, Rue Bennett, overdosed on painkillers laced with Fentanyl. Her friend and sponsor, Ali (played by Colman Domingo), finds her dead on his sofa and sets out to avenge her death. The decision to kill off one of the original characters was a "tough" one, according to Levinson.
He added, "Even through shooting, it sort of weighed on both of us. At the end of the day, she understood what I was doing, and it felt like the right way to honor Angus, someone whom we loved dearly and really rooted for and saw the best in.”
Sam Levinson, who himself struggled with addiction, had previously spoken up about how Rue's character arc was inspired by the late Angus Cloud. The actor played Fezco in the first two series of Euphoria but passed away in July 2023, aged just 25.

“When when it came time to shoot the scene [where Rue is found dead], we also had Colman Domingo there, who’s been one of my closest collaborators for over a decade and a grounding force in Zendaya’s life as well,” Levinson explained. “That kind of camaraderie really helped this sequence feel authentic and meaningful. We’ve been doing this for eight [or] nine years together, so it was a beautiful couple of days as we were shooting those scenes, because we knew how audiences would respond to it.”
The showrunner had also previously revealed the original script for Euphoria had a different ending but was rewritten after the passing of Angus Cloud. In an interview with The New York Times’s Popcast, Sam explained that he had always been "concerned about the prevalence of fentanyl," but after Angus' passing, he had to rewrite the script, and I thought, you can’t tell a story about addiction today without the very real consequences. Most people don’t get a second chance."
The start of season three of Euphoria was also initially different. Instead of Rue trying to get into America via the US border, she was supposed to be swimming across the Rio Grande. “I had written that, but early on, we did a scout at the Drug Enforcement Administration offices in Los Angeles, and they have all these photos on the walls of their best drug busts. … I saw this one photo of a Jeep stuck on top of a border wall," he explained.
What Sam Levinson explained what the photo was: "The DEA guy says, ‘Oh, you know, some moron tried to drive a car over the border,’ and I thought, ‘That’s the kind of moronic thing Rue would do.’ And so we ended up recreating it," he told Variety.

Paul Walker's Daughter Meadow, 27, Ditches Bikini Top New Photos
Meadow Walker is making the most of her summer vacation.
The model and daughter of late Fast & Furious star Paul Walker gave followers a glimpse into her tropical getaway, posting a series of sun-drenched photos from what appeared to be a beachside escape on Thursday, June 11.
Among the snapshots turning heads was one image of Meadow emerging from the water wearing only black string floral bikini bottoms, seemingly forgetting her top and covering her chest with one hand. A second slide showed her bathing in the sun with both pieces intact. She notably turned the comments off on the post.
The following day, Meadow switched things up with a black-and-white patterned bikini, posing both in the water and along the shoreline, a book by her side. For this one, she decided to keep her comments on, but kept them limited.
“I’m so tempted to crash this trip rn,” one wrote.
“Beach baby ily,” a second added, while a third replied, “Water baby.”
A Story post on June 13 showed her taking a leap of faith off some cliffs, jumping into the crisp water below. It’s unclear where Meadow is vacationing, but it’s certain the 27-year-old is having a blast.
Prior to the vaca pics, Meadow spent recent weeks honoring her father's legacy. Last month, she reunited with several of Paul's former Fast & Furious co-stars at the Cannes Film Festival to celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Fast and the Furious. Meadow was joined by Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, and Jordana Brewster for the celebration, where her godfather, Diesel, gave her a shout-out before the screening began.
The franchise remains an important part of Meadow's life years after Paul's tragic death in 2013 at age 40. Over the years, she has frequently reflected on the values he instilled in her. For his birthday on September 12, 2025, Meadow shared an adorable black-and-white throwback pic with the caption, “Happy birthday daddy. I love you endlessly and miss you every day.”
On the anniversary of his passing a few months later, she shared another throwback of the two blowing out candles on some cupcakes. “12 years without you… I love you forever,” she emotionally wrote in the caption.
Popular Beauty Influencer Mikayla Nogueira Explains How She Landed in the Hospital
Having already gone through a recent divorce from ex-husband Cody Hawken, popular beauty influencer Mikayla Nogueira found herself in another difficult situation. She's currently recovering after a frightening health scare that resulted in emergency surgery. In a recent TikTok update, the makeup creator opened up about being rushed to the hospital after losing consciousness while filming content for her followers.
Nogueira explained that she first noticed abdominal discomfort while traveling home to Massachusetts from Los Angeles. Assuming it was a routine stomach issue, she attempted to rest after returning home. But by the following morning, the pain had intensified. Despite feeling unwell, the influencer said she initially tried to continue with her day as usual.

Mikayla Nogueira Says She Passed Out While Filming @mikaylanogueiraReplying to @K ❤️
♬ original sound - Mikayla Nogueira"I tried to push through," Nogueira told followers in a subsequent update. Thinking the discomfort would pass, she continued with her work and began filming a makeup video for TikTok.
During filming, the situation quickly escalated.
"The room began to spin, and I couldn't breathe," Nogueira recalled, explaining that she collapsed and lost consciousness. After regaining awareness, she immediately called 911 and was transported to the hospital by ambulance.
Doctors performed a CT scan and discovered that her appendix was dangerously close to rupturing. Nogueira was taken into emergency surgery to have the organ removed.
In a video posted after returning home, the influencer reassured fans that the procedure had gone well, though recovery has been challenging. She said she now has three incisions on her stomach and has difficulty walking while she heals. According to Nogueira, her boyfriend, Zach, has been helping her during her recovery.
The Beauty Creator Has Kept Followers Updated Throughout Her RecoveryThe candid update prompted an outpouring of support from followers, many of whom had been concerned after seeing footage of her hospitalization. Nogueira has built a reputation for being open with fans, frequently sharing both professional milestones and personal experiences on social media.
Her decision to document this latest health scare continued that pattern of transparency. Rather than waiting until she had fully recovered, Nogueira chose to explain what had happened while encouraging followers not to ignore symptoms that suddenly worsen.
For now, the beauty influencer said she plans to focus on resting and recovering before returning to her regular content schedule.
"I just wanted you to know what happened," she told fans. "I love you, and I will be here, in my bed."
Drew Barrymore Channels the '80s With Boombox Dance Party
Drew Barrymore just shared a playful Instagram video of her dancing with a boombox to Olivia Dean's "Man I Need," and it felt like the kind of throwback moment only Barrymore could make feel completely natural.
In the clip, Barrymore appeared in casual, comfy clothes, carrying a boombox and dancing around.
Barrymore kept the caption simple, writing, "I highly recommend having a @oliviadeano dance party!!" Fans were very into it. One commenter called her "an absolute delight," while another wrote, "I miss my '80s boombox."
Others focused on the cozy room around her, with one person asking for a tour of the bookshelves and another calling it "the bookshelf room of my dreams." A few fans also said the post felt peak Drew, with one writing, "Our fave adorable dork," and another adding, "This is the most relatable post ever."
The boombox also gave the video an instant '80s and early '90s feel. For anyone who grew up with cassette tapes, mixtapes or movie scenes where someone showed up with music over their shoulder, the image was easy to understand.
Barrymore has also been leaning into nostalgia a lot lately. Earlier this year, she shared a series of '90s photos on Instagram for her daughters, joking about what she was like back then.
Drew Barrymore Has Been Everywhere Lately View this post on InstagramThe clip also comes during a busy stretch for Barrymore. She was recently at the 2026 Tony Awards in New York City on June 7, joining stars from Broadway, TV and film on the red carpet.
Her daytime show is also sticking around. CBS Media Ventures announced earlier this year that The Drew Barrymore Show was renewed for two more seasons, keeping it on the air through 2028.
Barrymore has built a whole daytime brand around being emotional, nostalgic, silly and unfiltered, and this clip checks all of those boxes.
The Clip Fits Drew's Current EraBarrymore has also been having some more personal moments on her show recently. In April, she teared up during a fashion segment while discussing body insecurities and how motherhood has changed how she feels in certain clothes.
Barrymore has been very open about the heavier stuff, but she also keeps showing fans the lighter side of herself.

The throwback also fits Barrymore's own career. She became famous as a child in the '80s and has been part of pop culture for decades, so a nostalgic clip like this does not feel forced.
Barrymore lived through the '80s, worked through it and became one of the faces people still associate with that stretch of Hollywood.
The Bizarre Mail Rule the U.S. Put in Place 106 Years Ago Today
Imagine walking into a post office more than 100 years ago and mailing a package—only to find out the “package” wasn’t a package at all. Instead, inside the box was a living, breathing child. Yes, you read that right.
Believe it or not, this actually happened, and it eventually led the U.S. Post Office to create a very unusual rule.
The Post Office’s Parcel Post officially began on January 1, 1913, allowing Americans to send and receive items in a new and exciting way. According to the Smithsonian Magazine, some parents actually tried to ship their children—perhaps to their grandmother's house.
"Just a few weeks after Parcel Post began, an Ohio couple named Jesse and Mathilda Beagle 'mailed' their 8-month-old son James to his grandmother, who lived just a few miles away in Batavia. According to Lynch, Baby James was just shy of the 11-pound weight limit for packages sent via Parcel Post, and his 'delivery' cost his parents only 15 cents in postage (although they did insure him for $50). The quirky story soon made newspapers, and for the next several years, similar stories would occasionally surface as other parents followed suit," the outlet reported.
After a few instances, officials stepped in. On June 13, 1920, the post office decided that children could not "be classified as harmless live animals that do not require food or water," and therefore they could not be shipped, according to The Square PHX.
It’s one of those moments in history that sounds like a myth, but the paper trail proves it really happened. And thankfully, it’s a piece of postal history that stayed in the past.
Tyra Baks Breaks Her Silence on Netflix’s ‘Reality Check’ — With a Lawsuit
Tyra Banks is clapping back at Netflix for the way Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model portrayed her, breaking her silence since the documentary dropped.
The former host of the series is suing Netflix over the "manipulation" in the documentary, saying that just 16 minutes of her three-and-a-half-hour interview were used. The cutting made Banks to look like the villain, creating a false narrative about her. As soon as the docuseries came out, viewers took to social media to share their thoughts, quickly pointing out that it didn't look like Banks was taking any accountability for her involvement as host and EP. Her legal team says that is not true.
PEOPLE Magazineobtained the court records, which were filed on June 13, 2026, that said Banks originally agreed to be in the documentary, as she believed it was going to be a chance to look back on the legacy of the series. It would focus on the strengths and shortcomings, but the editing has created something entirely different. Former judge and photographer on the series, Nigel Barker, had previously shared that the documentary was going to be about J. Alexander's life and legacy, and that everything changed once Banks was involved.
She did answer questions about some of the criticisms against her throughout the 22-season run of America's Next Top Model, but there were also questions about the show's history that weren't fully used. Part of the complaint is that Netflix sold Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model as a documentary, and that meant viewers were not expecting "manufactured drama or constructed narratives."
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 06: Tyra Banks attends The FanDuel Party Powered by Spotify 2026 on February 06, 2026 in San Francisco, California. (Photo by Jeff Schear/Getty Images for Spotify)One of the big moments in the America's Next Top Model three-part docuseries that Banks is highlighting is the way her interview about Shandi Sullivan's time on the second cycle of the series. While filming, Sullivan drank wine while they were all in Italy and ended up sleeping with one of the men involved in the series, and she has since shared that she had blacked out and that the entire situation was sexual assault.
When asked about this on the docuseries, Banks appeared not to have remembered the situation. She also said that she had no involvement in the way the storylines were cut and presented. Now, Banks is saying that there is a moment in the whole interview where she says she did remember the moment. The court documents say that Netflix "did not show viewers in Episode 1: before the upward glance, Ms. Banks nods—affirmatively, unmistakably—and immediately says, 'I do remember her story.' By carving the nod out of the middle of the sequence and cutting off Ms. Banks' comment at the end, the producers ensured that viewers would see only the lie and not the truth."
The complaint says that while Bank's words were true, they were edited out of context. The statement goes on to share that Netflix used "surgical manipulation of continuous footage" and opted for "deliberate omission" to create the narrative director Kay Wicker and Netflix wanted to tell.
Another part of the documents show that Banks acted immediately when someone reported a regular ANTM cast member was acting inappropriately. Production was paused at the time for the "entire cast and crew could undergo sexual harassment training conducted by an outside expert."
The 52-year-old model also states that she was never given a chance to share her side of the story when former judge, J. Alexander, shared that Banks had never visited after his stroke. Banks says that she was in Australia for two-and-a-half years, but she allegedly tried to get in touch with him at the time, getting in touch with multiple people to find out where and how Alexander was.
Banks hasn't noted an amount she is seeking in damages for defamation from the docuseries. She believes that a jury trial should deem what is fair based on the initial "manipulation" and the loss of any future earnings due to the way she has been perceived as being the villain.
When Reality Check initially came out, viewers were shocked by what they viewed as a lack of accountability from Banks, claiming that she kept pushing the buck onto production. Banks would also blame the culture of the 2000s reality TV landscape to justify decisions. Others also complained that the docuseries seemed to be a "soft plug" for a revival of America's Next Top Model.

1972 Rock Classic, Lasting Over 33 Minutes, Turned a 1967 Hit Into a Jam-Rock Epic
In February 1972, the Allman Brothers Band released one of their most iconic—and personal— albums of all time, Eat a Peach. The two-disc album was the last with founding member Duane Allman, who died in a motorcycle accident in October 1971.
Eat a Peach includes Allman Brothers classics “Melissa,” “Blue Sky” and the Duane Allman tribute “Ain’t Wasting Time No More.” It also features “Mountain Jam,” an extended all-instrumental jam session that spans the entire second sides of both vinyl records.
Recorded during the band’s iconic 1971 sessions at the Fillmore East concert venue, “Mountain Jam” features epic solos from all six Allman Brothers Band members: Duane Allman (guitar), Gregg Allman (keyboards), Dickey Betts (guitar), Berry Oakley (bass), and Butch Trucks and Jai Johanson (drums).
The live jam, heavily inspired by Donovan’s 1967 Billboard Hot 100 hit, “There Is a Mountain,” spans 33 minutes and 41 seconds. The hit folk-rock song was such a basis for ”Mountain Jam” that songwriting credits for the 1972 release went to all of the Allman Brothers Band members as well as D. Leitch, better known as Donovan.

Billboard once noted that “Mountain Jam,” which became an Allman Brothers Band concert staple, was much more than a “meandering” exploration, adding, “[It] was an example of what always set the Allmans apart: no matter where the song would go, it would always come right back to where it started, with its main theme based on Donovan’s 1967 hit ‘There Is a Mountain.’”
In a 1981 interview with Jas Obrecht, Betts said “Mountain Jam” was very much a good representation of the Allman Brothers’ sound at the time.
“We cut it, though, at the same time at the Fillmore,” he added. “There was no overdubs whatsoever on the Fillmore. No vocal overdubs, no repair work. There was some edits in some of the jams. You know, they had to edit it to try to get it on the record, but other than that, there was nothing done to that. It’s just a pure performance.”

Leonardo DiCaprio Once Gave His Co-Star a Stern Warning About Using Props
Claire Danes received a stern warning on set from a future Oscar winner.
In her Variety Actors on Actors conversation with Baby Reindeer's Richard Gadd, Claire reminisced about making Romeo + Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio at just 17.
She told a story where she tried to lighten the mood on set by playing with the firearm prop, until the Titanic actor stepped in. They were filming the moment where Juliet finds Romeo dead by poison and shoots herself.
“I remember just blithely playing with the prop gun and putting it to my head, and Leo getting very serious and saying, ‘Claire, we don’t do that. Don’t eff around,’” Danes explained. “He was right, but I was just being a doofus and a girl.”

Richard Gadd, who was promoting his new HBO show Half Man, told the Homeland star that he wrote an essay at school about the "guttural sob" that Danes' character lets out when she finds Romeo dead.
“I remember that moment very distinctly,” she responded. “I was surprised by it. And the environment was so epic that Baz [Luhrmann] had created. I was moved by the mise en scène, in a way, and the tragedy — but the world he creates helped elicit that feeling.”
Romeo + Juliet saw Baz Luhrmann adapt and highly stylized Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy for the big screen. At the time, per Far Out Magazine, it was rumored that Leo and Claire didn't get along, as he found the actress "uptight" and she didn't like his pranks.
While they have never spoken about the feud, The Beast In Me star admitted to W Magazine that she had a crush on her co-star, who was 21 years old at the time. “That was problematic. I couldn’t really have a crush on the guy I was professionally having a crush on,” she said.
"There was definitely a spark, but I don’t think either of us knew how to handle it," Claire later told Glamour about her time on set. "So, we sometimes sort of ignored each other. It was too big for us to really accept."
Jason and Travis Kelce's 'New Heights' Live Show Has One Big Mystery
Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce are taking New Heights to Los Angeles, but one major detail is still a mystery.
The brothers are set to host New Heights Live in LA at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Los Angeles on Monday, June 15. The one-night-only event will bring their hit podcast to a live audience, with the show tied to the energy surrounding the 2026 World Cup.
But the part that may have fans watching most closely is what has not been announced yet: the surprise celebrity guests.
'New Heights Live' Is Coming to Los AngelesJesse D. Garrabrant/Getty Images
According to the Orpheum Theatre, New Heights Live with Jason & Travis Kelce is scheduled for June 15. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and the event starts at 7 p.m.
Official event materials describe the show as a mix of the Kelce brothers' "energy and comedy" with the excitement of "a different kind of football." The live event is also expected to include special appearances, interactive opportunities for the audience, giveaways and more.
The Surprise Guests Have Not Been RevealedThe biggest question is who will show up.
The event description confirms "surprise celebrity guests," but no names have been announced. People also reported that the live show will include surprise celebrity guests, interactive fan opportunities and a celebration of soccer and Team USA.
That wording leaves plenty of room for speculation, especially because the Kelce brothers' world now stretches across football, podcasting, pop culture and celebrity circles. Fans are wondering: Will Taylor Swift be there?
Still, no official guest list has been released. For now, the mystery is part of the draw.
Jason and Travis Kelce Are Tying the Show to the World CupThe live show takes place during the early days of the 2026 World Cup, which is being hosted across the United States, Mexico and Canada.
People reported that the Kelces said they "couldn't think of a better time to party with the 92%ers" while the World Cup is bringing people together.
They also said they were excited to have "unforgettable moments" with fans, have a blast with some "friends of the show" and get everyone fired up to cheer on Team USA.

Fans Who Cannot Attend Will Still Be Able to WatchThere is also good news for fans who will not be inside the Orpheum.
According to the Wondery press release shared by Podnews, the recorded episode of New Heights Live in LA will be available on Wednesday, June 17, on YouTube, Prime Video and wherever podcasts are available.
For now, the only thing that is confirmed is that New Heights is going live in Los Angeles with a World Cup tie-in, fan giveaways and at least one major mystery left to solve.
