This Oscar-Nominated Actress Had a Surprisingly 'Witchy' Hobby at Home

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 11:00pm

Maya Hawke is offering a rare, affectionate look at life growing up with her mother, Uma Thurman.

It turns out it involved a lot more herbs, gardens, and homemade remedies than fans might expect.

In a recent conversation with NPR’s Rachel Martin, Hawke, 27, described her mother’s approach to wellness and nature as something she jokingly calls "witch-adjacent," blending intuition, gardening, and old-fashioned herbal know-how.

"It’s not full-on witch," Hawke said with a laugh. "But it’s not, you know, 'toil and trouble’' either… just light Wiccan-ry."

According to Hawke, the 56-year-old has long had a deep connection to nature and food grown from the earth. She recalled her mother spending time in gardens—often barefoot and hands-on—gathering ingredients for homemade remedies and meals.

One standout example was stinging nettles, which Thurman would harvest herself to make soup.

"She’s a gorgeous gardener," Hawke said. "Most of the time I spent with my mother, she was barefoot in our garden on her knees, picking stinging nettles for soup."

The practice wasn’t limited to soups, either.

Hawke said her mother often turned to natural remedies for everyday ailments, including making pineapple skin tea when someone had a cold. The idea, she explained, came from believing in the healing properties of whole ingredients and traditional methods passed down informally.

Hawke emphasized that while it might sound mystical, it was really just a grounded, hands-on way of living. Still, she admits there was always a playful sense of something just a little bit magical about it all.

"It’s a witchiness," she said. "A love of nature and herbal remedies and different sorts of medicines for what ails you."

For Hawke, those memories now stand out as part of what made her upbringing feel unique. She's rooted in both city life and upstate New York, but always anchored by her mother’s unconventional, nature-focused approach to everyday living.

Sally Field Confesses the Brutal Reality of an 'ER' Costar's New Drama: 'Jaw-Droppingly Good'

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 10:56pm

Noah Wyle and Sally Field recently reconnected for Variety and CNN’s Actors on Actors series. The duo first appeared on screen together in the 1994 medical drama ER.

The actors discussed past work, upcoming projects, and the emotional side of their profession.

Wyle started the interview by saying, “Hi, Sally. Look at the lengths we have to go to to get together.” Field responded, “You grew up very well.”

Wyle is currently starring as Dr.“Robby” Robinavitch in The Pitt. He won the Emmy for best actor in a drama last season and has even written and directed episodes.

“I wanted the opportunity to talk to you about what you’re doing. It’s so jaw-droppingly good,” Field said. “And the relentlessness of the show, I can’t even imagine how you shoot that. It’s like the old days of network television.”

The 55-year-old cited ER for his current success.

“Which is where I got my training. So it’s not a muscle that hasn’t been worked; it’s just a muscle that hasn’t been worked in a long time,” he said. “The older you get, the more precious the work becomes. You don’t want to do it as often, and when you do it, you want it to be cathartic and feel creative.”

Field shared that she finds it interesting that each episode takes place in one day. As the characters are tired throughout the season, so are the actors.

“I, too, have done network television and worked like that, and I know how exhausted you are by episode 12,” she said.

Wyle added that this helps the show feel even more real.

“That’s where we get helped by the longevity of the season,” he said. “As the show goes on, they stop putting the concealer under your eyes and they stop doing your hair and, eventually, you just start to go to work as exhausted as you feel, and it tends to show.”

The actor continued that he is grateful for his job, even when it’s exhausting.

“The idea of ever getting comfortable or confident is almost counterproductive. You don’t want to get to a place of relaxation. I like feeling a little scared, a little out of my depth every day,” Wyle said.

This ‘Adults’ Star Turned Down a Role in ‘Heated Rivalry’: Here’s Why

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 10:48pm

After teasing that he’s had some conversations about joining the Season 2 cast, Jack Innanen recently announced that he had to turn down a role in Heated Rivalry.

In April, the Adults actor said at the 37th Annual GLAAD Media Awards that he had been working on his hip mobility in anticipation of possibly joining the show. However, at the Tribeca Festival premiere of Adults Season 2, the actor confirmed he wouldn’t be joining the hockey drama series.

"It was too bad it didn't go that way," Innanen told PEOPLE.

Innanen has been a huge supporter of the series and said that he’s “excited to see what they do with Season 2,” calling the show’s creator, Jacob Tierney, “incredible.”

Entertainment Weekly speculated that Innanen may have had to decline the role in Heated Rivalry because of scheduling conflicts. He starred in the first season of Big Mistakes as Max, and it was recently confirmed that Innanen will reprise his character for Season 2.

However, hope might not be lost. With a third book following Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov in the works, Rachel Reid’s Unrivaled is set to release next summer. When PEOPLE asked about possibly joining a third season of the series, Innanen said it could happen.

"Maybe Season 3, yeah,” Innanen teased. “[We'll] see what they do."

It was recently confirmed that Heated Rivalry Season 2 will begin filming this summer, with a release date set for spring of 2027. According to Justin Stockman, Bell Media’s VP of Global Content, the scripts are “coming together really well.”

“I don’t think anyone will be disappointed,” Stockman told Deadline.

Ahead of Season 2’s release, fans can support Rainbow Railroad and enter for a chance to win tickets to the 2027 premiere. The contest is available to enter through CharityBuzz.

Walmart Has a Flowy $5 Linen-Style Top With a Delicate Lace Trim, and It’s an ‘Elegant’ Elevated Basic

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 10:45pm

Every summer wardrobe needs a foundation of effortless go-tos — those reliable pieces like a crisp white t-shirt, your favorite denim, or comfortable sneakers that require zero second-guessing. But if you want to stand out, look for elevated basics. They offer the exact same comfort and versatility as your standard essentials, while their thoughtful design details instantly make you look more intentional and put-together.

The Diufon Lace Trim Top is a great example. It delivers the same easygoing comfort as a classic T-shirt while offering a more refined look right from the start. Even better, it's currently available for as little as $5, making it an incredibly budget-friendly addition to your warm weather wardrobe.

The top comes in eight versatile colors: black, pink, purple, yellow, white, gray, khaki, and light blue. Each version features an off-white lace trim that adds softness and visual interest without overwhelming the design. One shopper even described the top as “elegant and classy” in a five-star review.

What makes this piece stand out is its feminine aesthetic. The delicate lace trim and soft cap sleeves create a romantic, vintage-inspired feel that taps into popular cottagecore and coquette trends. The result is a look that's subtle and charming rather than overly dressy, making it easy to wear in everyday life.

Available in sizes small through 2XL, the top is made from a soft, breathable fabric with a comfortable amount of stretch. The linen-like, lightweight material helps keep you cool during warmer weather while remaining comfortable enough for all-day wear. It's also easy to care for since both hand washing and machine washing are suitable, though a gentle cycle is recommended.

Styling it couldn't be easier. For an effortless daytime outfit, pair it with high-waisted denim shorts or relaxed jeans, then finish the look with leather slides and a woven tote. For vacation, it looks especially beautiful with breezy linen trousers or a flowy midi skirt. 

When temperatures cool down, layer it under a lightweight cardigan, oversized denim jacket, or casual blazer. For evening plans, tuck it into a mini skirt and add delicate jewelry and kitten heels. The lace trim naturally elevates the outfit, allowing the top to transition seamlessly from casual daytime activities to dinner plans.

Because of its versatile design, this top works for a wide variety of occasions. It's perfect for brunches, casual date nights, vacations, outdoor gatherings, and even business casual office settings when paired with structured layers. Depending on how you style it, it can feel relaxed, romantic, sophisticated, or vacation-ready.

For anyone looking for a stylish, versatile, and affordable summer staple, the Diufon Lace Trim Top is an easy choice. It combines comfort, femininity, and practicality in one easy-to-wear piece. With prices starting at just $5, it's the kind of wardrobe essential that's worth picking up in more than one color before summer gets into full swing.

1979 Hit, Among the Very First Songs in a Brand-New Genre, Changed Music Forever

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 10:43pm

In the late '70s, The Sugarhill Gang released a song that would redefine the music industry.

"Rapper's Delight" was one of the first-ever rap songs, introducing a whole new genre to music lovers all over the world. The beloved track was released on Sept. 16, 1979, and is often credited as the song that pushed hip-hop music from underground New York block parties into the mainstream.

The first hip-hop song to reach the Top 40 on the U.S. charts, "Rapper's Delight" peaked at No. 36 on theBillboard Hot 100. In the U.K., it hit the No. 3 spot on the Singles Chart. Over in Canada, the single earned The Sugarhill Gang the top spot of the Canadian Singles Chart.

In addition to achieving commercial success on the charts, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for its historical significance. The song has cemented itself in pop culture, featuring prominently in film and television, including The Wedding Singer.

In 2017, the music pioneers opened up about the making of "Rapper's Delight."

"When I was seven, I saw the Beatles’ film, A Hard Day’s Night, with all the screaming girls. When 'Rapper’s Delight' hit, there was a lot of hysteria," explained rapper and songwriter Michael ‘Wonder Mike’ Wright. "We were in a record shop and the manager had to ferry us out through the back. I remember thinking: 'Man, this is just like A Hard Day’s Night.'"

The song contains samples of the iconic disco hit, "Good Times," released by Chic in 1979. Chic's co-founders, Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, famously threatened The Sugarhill Gang with legal action, intending to sue the hip-hop group for copyright infringement. However, the dispute was settled out of court, with Rodgers and Edwards receiving official songwriting credits and a considerable cut of the royalties.

’70s Rock Band Announces Lineup Change for 2026 Show

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 9:33pm

Veteran rock band Kansas has announced a temporary lineup change for its upcoming concerts, with violinist Kyle Pudenz stepping in for current band member Joe Deninzon.

The update was shared by the band on X, where Kansas stated: "Violinist Kyle Pudenz will be filling in for KANSAS Violinist Joe Deninzon at this weekend’s KANSAS concerts while Joe fulfills family obligations."

The announcement marks the latest personnel adjustment for the legendary progressive rock group as it continues touring more than five decades after its formation in Topeka, Kansas.

Joe Deninzon joined Kansas in 2023 after longtime violinist David Ragsdale departed for personal reasons. Since entering the lineup, Deninzon has become a key part of the band's live performances, bringing his signature seven-string electric violin style to classic Kansas songs.

The band did not indicate how long Deninzon's absence would last, but confirmed that Pudenz will handle violin duties during the affected shows.

Kansas remains active on the road in 2026 while continuing to celebrate a catalog that includes some of classic rock's most recognizable songs, including "Carry On Wayward Son" and "Dust in the Wind."

— KANSAS (@KansasBand) June 11, 2026

While some Kansas fans may be unfamiliar with Kyle Pudenz, the Nashville-based musician arrives with a lengthy résumé as a performer, arranger and session player.

According to his bio, Pudenz began studying classical violin at age eight and later performed with the Missouri Symphony Orchestra. His musical background expanded beyond classical music through work in folk rock, Americana, country, jazz and progressive music.

After attending Belmont University, where he graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Music degree, Pudenz built a career performing and recording with a wide range of artists. His credits include touring and studio work with numerous acts across multiple genres.

He is also known for performing on custom-built seven-string electric violins, instruments he developed alongside his father. The expanded range of those instruments has allowed Pudenz to blend traditional violin techniques with rock-oriented performance styles.

Throughout his career, Pudenz has worked as a touring musician, arranger and recording artist while appearing with artists including RaeLynn, Colt Ford, Drake Milligan and several Nashville-based performers.

His diverse musical background makes him a natural fit for a temporary role in Kansas, a band whose sound has long featured violin as one of its defining elements.

The lineup adjustment continues a pattern of changes that Kansas has successfully navigated throughout its history.

Founded in 1973, Kansas became one of the most successful American rock bands of the 1970s. The group earned widespread recognition through albums such as Leftoverture and Point of Know Return, while songs like "Carry On Wayward Son" and "Dust in the Wind" became staples of classic rock radio.

Over the years, the band has experienced numerous personnel changes while maintaining an active touring and recording schedule. Current members include Ronnie Platt, Zak Rizvi, Tom Brislin, Joe Deninzon, Dan McGowan, Scott Bernard, Rich Williams  and drummer Phil Ehart, who remains a founding member although he has scaled back his onstage role following a heart attack in 2024.

Just one day before the lineup announcement, Ehart was promoting his newly released memoir, I Am Phil, in which he reflected on his life, Kansas' long history and the band's enduring connection with fans.

During that discussion, Ehart emphasized the philosophy that has helped Kansas continue through decades of change, per Ultimate Classic Rock.

"Kansas has never been about any one or two members or a singular personality. Kansas has always been about the music. The music is the star of the show."

He also highlighted the band's careful approach to selecting musicians.

"The musical expectations to be in Kansas have always been sky high, and we will never, ever change that."

Those comments provide additional context as the group once again adjusts its live lineup, even if only temporarily.

For now, Kansas fans attending this weekend's concerts will see Kyle Pudenz taking over violin responsibilities while Joe Deninzon attends to family matters. The band has not announced any additional lineup changes beyond the upcoming performances.

'70s Rock Legend Announces Dates for 2026 Farewell Tour

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 9:30pm

One of the most beloved voices of the folk-rock era is preparing to take her final bow.

Judy Collins has announced dates for her Sweet Judy Blue Eyes Farewell Tour, marking the beginning of what is expected to be her final large-scale run of live performances after more than six decades on the road.

The tour will celebrate a career that has made Collins one of the most respected figures in folk and popular music, introducing generations of listeners to songs that became staples of the singer-songwriter movement.

"Touring has been the great thread of my life — city to city, song to song, face to face," Collins, 87, said in a statement. "The audiences have carried me for decades, and I’ve never stopped being moved by what can happen in a room when we truly listen to one another. This tour is my way of saying thank you — out loud, together."

The tour will feature appearances from special guests including support at select dates by Richard Thompson, Elles Bailey, Bruce Cockburn and Amanda Shires.

Although she first gained attention as a folk artist, Collins became a mainstream star thanks to recordings that blended folk, pop and singer-songwriter influences. Her version of "Both Sides, Now" helped introduce the songwriting of Joni Mitchell to a wider audience, while "Send in the Clown"s became one of the signature recordings of her career. Over the years, Collins also championed the work of artists such as Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and Mitchell, helping bring many now-classic songs to mainstream audiences.

"Nobody ever told me what to sing," Collins told Classic Bands. "I have a very strong idea what fits me and when I hear it, I know it, which is lucky. Certainly people can make a suggestion. Arif Mardin, who produced a couple of my albums, his widow, she's gone now, suggested that I sing "Salt Of The Earth," the wonderful Rolling Stones' song. And she also suggested I sing "Buddy Can You Spare A Dime." I thought those were two of the best suggestions for songs I ever heard. I did both of them."

Collins' influence extended far beyond music as well.

Collins became an accomplished author, public speaker and advocate for mental health awareness, publishing multiple books while remaining an active performer long after many of her contemporaries retired. Throughout her career, she earned numerous honors, including Grammy recognition and induction into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Despite announcing a farewell tour, Collins has made it clear in recent years that she has no intention of stepping away from creativity entirely. Instead, the tour represents a chance to celebrate a lifetime of music with the fans who have supported her throughout an extraordinary journey.

For many attendees, the concerts will offer an opportunity to hear songs that have served as the soundtrack to decades of memories. The farewell trek is expected to feature many of Collins' best-known songs alongside stories from a career that has spanned more than 60 years.

Few artists have maintained such a lasting presence in American music.

From the folk revival of the 1960s to the singer-songwriter boom of the 1970s and beyond, Collins has remained a beloved and influential figure whose music continues to resonate across generations.

Now, after a lifetime on stage, the legendary performer is preparing to say goodbye to touring—bringing one of the most remarkable careers in music history full circle.

— Cheap Trick (@cheaptrick) June 11, 2026 Cheap Trick Tour Changes Affect Seven June Dates

The tour adjustments impact a portion of the band's summer schedule following a series of appearances shared with Styx. While several June dates were removed from the calendar, most of the band's remaining tour plans remain unchanged.

The group still has several major performances scheduled throughout the summer and fall. Upcoming appearances include Rockin' the Fields of Minnedosa in Canada, a performance at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, and stops in California, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Utah, Kentucky and other locations.

Festival appearances remain on the band's itinerary, including the Northwest Art & Air Festival in Albany, Oregon, and Bourbon & Beyond 2026 in Louisville, Kentucky.

Fans seeking updated information on venues, ticket policies and future performances have been directed to the band's official website.

The tour supports Cheap Trick's 2025 studio album All Washed Up, which marked the band's first new release in four years. The album followed 2021's In Another World and continued the group's long-running recording career.

Formed in Rockford, Illinois, in 1973, Cheap Trick became one of rock music's most recognizable acts. The band's breakthrough arrived in the late 1970s with the success of At Budokan, the live album recorded in Tokyo, Japan. The release helped launch the group to international fame and produced the hit live version of "I Want You to Want Me."

Over more than five decades, Cheap Trick has sold over 20 million records and performed more than 5,000 concerts worldwide. Their catalog includes well-known songs such as "Surrender," "Dream Police," "The Flame" and "I Want You to Want Me."

In 2016, the band's legacy was recognized with induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Although the recent tour changes have disappointed some fans, Cheap Trick has indicated that the affected schedule adjustments are limited to the announced dates. The band continues to move forward with the remainder of its 2026 touring plans while honoring tickets for postponed performances and providing refunds for canceled events.

Why 'The Social Network' Star Flat-Out Refused to Return for Aaron Sorkin's Sequel

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 9:05pm

Jesse Eisenberg may have played Mark Zuckerberg in the 2010 film, The Social Network, but that doesn’t mean he’s a fan of the Facebook founder.

Earlier this week, Jeremy Strong appeared as Zuckerberg in the official trailer for The Social Reckoning. This upcoming film is a sequel and companion piece to the 2010 Academy Award-winning movie.

Aaron Sorkin, the screenwriter for The Social Network, will return as the writer and director. He recently spoke to Vanity Fair about the film.

The screenwriter admitted he spent three days trying to convince Eisenberg to reprise his role as Zuckerberg.

“I felt like it belonged to him, and he was certainly battle-tested,” Sorkin shared. “He simply did not want to be conflated with Mark Zuckerberg anymore, that he has his problems with the guy. He doesn’t like kids coming up to him in airports with business cards that say ‘I’m CEO, bitch’ for him to sign.”

Eisenberg previously spoke out about his dislike for Zuckerberg. Last year, the actor told BBC Radio 4 that he doesn’t follow the CEO’s life because “I don’t want to think of myself as associated with somebody like that.”

Adding, “It’s not like I played a great golfer or something and now people think I’m a great golfer,” he said. “It’s like this guy that’s doing things that are problematic — taking away fact-checking and safety concerns, making people who are already threatened in this world more threatened.”

Sorkin doesn’t have the same issue getting in Zuckerberg’s mind.

“I can’t judge Mark Zuckerberg while I’m writing it,” he told Vanity Fair. “You’ve got to write that character like they’re making their case to God why they should be allowed into heaven.”

The Social Reckoning stars Mikey Madison, Jeremy AllenWhite, Jeremy Strong, Billy Magnussen, and Betty Gilpin. It’s scheduled to hit the big screen on October 9.

57 Years Ago Today, '60s Legend Joined One of the 'Best Rock Bands’ of All Time

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 8:37pm

Mick Taylor took a decisive turn in his career after stepping into one of rock music’s most iconic lineups, The Rolling Stones.

Fifty-seven years ago today, the young guitar prodigy made a career-defining move that marked the beginning of cementing his name in history after becoming the official guitarist of the band fronted by Mick Jagger.

In the late 1960s, Taylor was part of the chart-topping blues rock outfit John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers alongside elite musicians such as John McVie, who would later become a co-founder of Fleetwood Mac, and drummer Keef Hartley.

However, in 1969, The Rolling Stones faced a major setback that left them desperately in need of a guitarist.

At the time, the band was forced to make bold changes as former member Brian Jones struggled with severe drug dependency.

Jagger reportedly sought John Mayall for a recommendation who, in turn, recommended the then-20-year-old Taylor as the ideal replacement.

During the audition, he impressed The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger and lead guitarist Keith Richards after playing "Live With Me."

“Live With Me was the very first track I ever played on,” Taylor recalled in an interview as cited by Louder Sound and described it as “special” since it was the very first song that he played with the new band.

“I remember [producer] Jimmy Miller jumping up and down in the control room and getting all excited about how good it sounded, having two guitars playing off each other. Because I think they’d missed that with Brian Jones in the two-year hiatus since their last live performance. The Stones actually hadn’t played together for a long time, so when I joined them it was like a new beginning. It was a new phase in their career, a new chapter,” he added.

Lo and behold, The Rolling Stones didn't let go of their newly discovered talent and held a press conference at Hyde Park, London, on June 13, 1969, to officially introduce Taylor as their newest member.

To celebrate the moment and pay tribute to Jones, who passed away days before the event, the chart-topping band staged a free concert attended by an estimated 250,000 people.

This also marked Taylor’s first live performance with one of the greatest rock bands, The Rolling Stones.

View this post on Instagram

After five years of jaw-dropping performances, acclaimed recordings and his massive contribution to the band’s music, Taylor left The Rolling Stones in 1974.

Despite enjoying his time with the group, he ultimately decided to depart due to personal issues and a growing drug addiction that had begun to take a toll on his health.

"We were all a lot younger then and you’d try different things,” he mentioned in an interview, as reported by Louder Sound. “Some people ended up falling by the wayside, some people would try things once or twice and others simply faded away. But I don’t blame the Rolling Stones for my own personal problems.”

Target’s ‘Beautiful’ $90 Slatted Storage Cabinet Is a 'Stylish' Way to Tackle Clutter in Any Room

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 8:30pm

Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.

Even the best organizational systems can be undone with the rumblings of day-to-day life. Mail gets set down on the sideboard, small items pile up on counters, and laundry gets shifted from chair to bench without ever making its way into a dresser. What starts as a quick drop-off spot or temporary landing zone gradually becomes part of the space’s landscape. And once that happens, surface-level tidying stops being enough: What you need now is a permanent home. 

That’s exactly where a piece like the Best Choice Products 2-Door Slatted Storage Cabinet at Target comes in. Spacious on the inside and “stylish” on the outside, according to shoppers, it gives those items an actual place to go. Even better, it’s currently on sale for 59% off, dropping the original $222 price tag down to $90.

The slatted design gives this cabinet a clean, modern look while adding subtle texture. Its natural wood grain pattern (available in four colors) is visible through the doors, which makes it feel more elevated. 

Made from engineered wood, the cabinet is supported by sturdy metal legs that help reinforce stability without adding visual bulk. Measuring 31.5 inches long, 15 inches wide, and 32.5 inches high, the overall silhouette is compact enough to fit into tighter spaces like hallways or entryways, but still substantial enough to anchor a larger room like a living area or dining space. It’s also designed with flexibility in mind; multiple units can be connected for a more seamless, built-in look, or used individually depending on how much storage a room requires and how you want the layout to feel.

Functionally, it’s built around three tiers of storage that let you choose what to show, what to hide, and how to organize smaller items inside. A wide top surface provides extra display or drop space, while the interior includes a fixed shelf and a lower shelf that together support up to 165 pounds of home decor, essentials, and daily-use items. 

The elevated base is broom and robo-vac friendly, making it easy to clean underneath without moving the piece, while adjustable non-slip foot caps help keep it steady across different floor types. Soft-close hinges complete the design, reducing noise and preventing doors from slamming shut on fingers.

Shoppers couldn’t get over how “beautiful” and “well-built” this storage solution was for its “affordable” price point. “It came together so easily and looks spectacular in my room,” one shopper wrote, adding, “It’s very sturdy, and the doors have soft-close hinges, which was a nice surprise.”

1987 One-Hit Wonder, Written When Singer Was Half-Asleep, Took Nearly a Year to Hit No. 1

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 8:24pm

There was definitely no shortage of catchy songs on the radio during the late '80s, but one of the absolute catchiest was without a doubt Terence Trent D'Arby's "Wishing Well" (as anyone who's walked around with that whistling hook stuck their head can tell you).

Released in June 1987 as the second single from D'Arby's debut album, Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby, the song was an enormous hit...but not at first. In fact, "Wishing Well" didn't make it all the way to the very top of the Billboard Hot 100 until nearly a year later, on May 7, 1988, after months of radio and MTV airplay.

D'Arby's somewhat overconfident style of self-promotion no doubt helped to send "Wishing Well" to the top of the charts, too. As Stereogum reported, the young singer called his first record "the most brilliant debut album from any artist this decade."

By the next year, D'Arby was backpedaling a bit on his earlier claims.

"I was joking," he told the Los Angeles Times. "I was making fun of the image I had built up, the whole arrogance thing... A lot of it was what I truly believed, but a lot of it was exaggerated to make a point. You have to hit people over the head to make them notice, and I did it. I know how to play the game."

Considering D'Arby's rock star-style swagger, it's no surprise he slipped a Rolling Stones reference into his biggest hit. "Wishing Well" features a shout-out to the classic song "Midnight Rambler" in one verse:

Hugging like a monkey see, monkey do
Right beside a riverboat gambler, hahaha
Erotic images float through my head
Say you wanna be a midnight rambler
(I wanna be a midnight rambler)

As many have pointed out over the years, "Wishing Well" doesn't make a tremendous amount of sense, lyrically, but maybe that's because D'Arby wrote it when he was "in a half-asleep, half-awake state of mind," as he was quoted as saying in The Billboard Book of Number One Hits.

Of course, a song doesn't have to make sense to be a hit. And even though D'Arby now goes by the name Sananda Maitreya, all these years later, fans say he still sounds incredible singing those nonsensical words.

1981 Arena Rock Classic, Ranked Among 'Greatest Songs of the '80s,' Became an Instantly Recognizable Party Anthem

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 8:18pm

For most people, the weekend can't come fast enough...and it always goes by way too quickly. That's why Loverboy's "Working for the Weekend" is one of those '80s songs that's just as anthemic as ever, nearly half a century later.

“It's totally a party song, there’s no question about it,” Loverboy guitarist Paul Dean told Guitar Player in 2023.

Released as the lead single from Loverboy's 1981 studio album Get Lucky, "Working for the Weekend" peaked at #2 on Billboard's Rock Top Tracks chart in February of 1982 (and #29 on the Billboard Hot 100). But according to Dean, he knew the song would be a success long before it hit the charts.

“It became clear to me that we were onto something when we played it at this pub in Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island,” Dean said. “It was a meat-market type of atmosphere, where nobody cared about the music; they were more interested in hooking up with each other."

"We played our first two sets, all-original stuff, and people were talking and drinking, paying little attention to the band," he continued. "But when we opened the third set with 'Working for the Weekend' the dance floor was packed by the end of the intro.” 

Though "Working for the Weekend" was written mostly by Dean, he credited lead singer Mike Reno with the song's catchy title.

"That one was originally, 'Everybody's Waiting for the Weekend,'" Dean told Songfacts in a 2012 interview.

"I was walking down close to where I was living," he continued. "It was a Wednesday afternoon, beautiful afternoon, and I'm walking in this heavily populated area, and it was deserted. Everybody was at work. And me being the musician, I'm out working and my work is, okay, what am I going to do for inspiration and where can I find it? So I'm out on the beach and wondering, 'Where is everybody? Well, I guess they're all waiting for the weekend.'"

"So that experience spurred that," Dean added. "And Mike had the great idea of, 'Why don't we call it, Working for the Weekend?' and I said, 'Yeah, that's good. That's fine.' Not a huge difference, still works, it's kind of cool, it's quirky with a little bit of a twist on the lyrics, so yeah, let's go."

Over the years, "Working for the Weekend" has continued to resonate with new listeners, thanks in part to movies and TV shows like Zoolander, Saturday Night Live and Family Guy.

“It’s unbelievable how it keeps getting placed in movies and TV shows and how it’s held up...our song 'Turn Me Loose' gets a lot of soundtrack stuff too, but nothing like 'Working for the Weekend.' It’s a pretty cool one-two punch.”

Indeed. VH1 even included "Working for the Weekend" on a list of the "100 Greatest Songs of the '80s" (at #100).

Meghan Markle Hilariously Shuts Down Prince Harry Cheating Rumors Before They Started

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 8:07pm

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is no stranger to how the rumor mill works, so after sharing some adorable photos on Instagram, she was quick to shut down any possible rumors about Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, before they even began.

On her official Instagram account, Meghan shared two photos to her story. The first shows a friend holding a baby with red hair, with the caption "Love you" and Kelly McKee Zajfen's Instagram page tagged. In the second picture, Meghan is holding the baby, this time with a caption reading, "We know I love a redhead. And let me stop you before they start, no it's not his baby 😂."

Although Prince Harry is not directly named in the post, the implications are clear (especially given the reference to redheads): The Duchess of Sussex doesn't want these images turning into a story that Prince Harry secretly has another baby.

The post was clearly made in good fun, although it would also make sense if it wasn't entirely a joke. Meghan and Harry have both been outspoken about their experiences with the media, be it their lawsuits with various outlets over the last several years or the comments that the couple made about the press during their Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan.

Specifically in terms of the latter, the Sussexes have described a range of experiences over the years, from Meghan sharing that various family members had been offered money to speak about her to the couple recalling some vicious headlines while they were still living in the United Kingdom, particularly when Meghan was pregnant.

Of course, even outside of the press, the internet is the perfect place for rumors to run wild, and it's possible that was on Meghan's mind as well.

However, as the Duchess of Sussex made quite clear, there is no need for further speculation; the baby she is holding is just another adorable redhead—not a royal scandal.

’70s Rock Legends Perform Their 20-Minute Rock Epic for the First Time in Almost 30 Years

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 7:29pm

After over a decade away from the stage, the legendary rock band Rush is back on tour, and they surprised one lucky audience with a performance that hasn't been done in almost three decades.

On the second day of their Fifty Something Tour, which took place at the Kia Forum in California on June 9, fans got a special gift when Rush decided to play the entirety of the rock epic "2112," which is over 20 minutes long. The last time the band played "2112" in its entirety was on July 4, 1997, in Ottawa, Canada, as reported by Stereogum.

Plenty of fans in attendance at the legendary show shared videos of the band playing "2112," and it's clear that people everywhere were stunned yet excited.

In the comments of one fan's video, reactions included, "Never would have thought they would play the entire SIDE A of 2112 ever again. Speechless," and "They played the whole thing. Unbelievable. And it was amazing.70 is the new 30." There were also many comments praising the band's new drummer, Anika Nilles, who joined for the Fifty Something Tour in place of the late drumming legend, Neil Peart, who died in 2020.

While Rush hasn't performed "2112" all at once in 29 years, they have played parts of the iconic song many times. Along with the beloved track, Rush's second show of the tour also included other songs they haven't performed in many years, including "Leave That Thing Alone," "Witch Hunt," "The Analog Kid," and more.

For fans jealous of those in the audience at the Los Angeles show, Rush will be touring throughout the rest of 2026 and well into 2027, and with any luck, this won't be the last time the band does the entire "2112" suite. The rest of Rush's 2026 dates of the Fifty Something Tour will be across North America. Starting in mid-January 2027, they will travel to South America before going across the pond to Europe.

Tiger Woods Appears to Leave Rehab as Airport Photos Surface in Florida

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 7:24pm

It looks like Tiger Woodsalmost three-month stay in rehab is over. Page Six recently reported that the pro golfer has checked out of the rehabilitation center in Switzerland and flown back to the U.S.

Per Page Six, Woods boarded a private plane in Switzerland and was caught on camera after landing at a private airport in Jupiter, Florida. 

View this post on Instagram

Sources had previously revealed that Woods would stay in the Swiss center through the end of June. But on Thursday (June 11), a post from ‘NUCLR GOLF’ on X reported, “Tiger Woods time in rehab may be nearing an end as the 15-time Major winner’s private jet landed in Switzerland to presumably bring him home.”

This isn’t the first time Tiger has returned home since he started rehab. The celeb was spotted in Florida last month amid his girlfriendVanessa Trump’s cancer news. In May, a source told People(of his premature return home), “Tiger took his trip seriously and is all about continuing his recovery and putting this chapter behind him.” 

The source also spoke to People about Woods and Trump’s relationship, revealing, “Vanessa and Tiger are in love, still serious, and happy to see each other,” and that Vanessa “is eager to help him continue with his progress and move beyond any more public scandals.”

Woods also reportedly attended Vanessa’s daughter Kai Trump’s high school graduation on May 15. Vanessa shares Kai, 19, with her ex-husband, Donald Trump Jr.

Why did Tiger Woods go to rehab?

The five-time Masters champ went into rehab following a DUI arrest for his March 27 crash and rollover in Jupiter Island, Florida. While an on-scene breathalyzer test showed no alcohol, the 50-year-old refused a urine test. Police also found two hydrocodone pills in Woods' pocket. Woods entered a not guilty plea to DUI charges and submitted a request to leave the country for medical care.

Following these events, the PGA responded with a statement, rallying around the pro and posting on X, “The PGA of America stands in full support of Tiger Woods as he steps away to focus on his health and well-being. During this time, we are keeping Tiger in our thoughts and our prayers, with sincere hope for his strength, comfort, and recovery.” 

Even though he is back in the country, Woods will not compete at the upcoming U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills.
