It’s a chance to welcome the new addition to the rest of the species’ society, and Max is ready for his. Well, that’s if he can find something to wear that isn’t the skin of his first victim.
However, things aren’t going to be all that simple. There is someone who knows Liz from her past, and it’s a past she’s trying to hide from. Is it possible that this is linked to Jesse’s backstory? That’s about to be revealed, giving us a look at how he joined the coven in the first place.

Olive & June Is Launching the At-Home Dip Powder System Fans Have Been Waiting For
Although at-home manicures have long existed, in the last several years, they have become a full-fledged phenomenon, with social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram and Pinterest flooded with ideas for how to get nail salon looks at home (and save quite a bit of money doing so).
In fact, the COVID-19 pandemic in particular had manicure diehards trying to find ways to give themselves salon quality sets at home, and even as salons opened back up and the world began to get back to normal, many found that they liked the convenience and price tag of at-home manicure systems.
Olive & June was already a major name in that conversation, as the brand’s polishes have been popular for quite some time. However, the company is upping its game with a brand-new debut launching today: the Olive & June Dip Powder System. That’s right, Olive & June is officially entering the at-home dip manicure lane, and this new five-step, non-acrylic system is going to make getting a beautiful dip manicure easier than ever.
Olive & June Dip ManicureOlive & June
After more than two years of development, Olive & June’s Dip Powder System is finally ready for consumers to try at home, and the launch teases the durability of dip manicures that nail fanatics know and love, all for a lower cost and accessibility in the comfort of one’s own home.
The system, comprising plant-based powders, is created to deliver up to 21 days of wear, and, unlike other nail treatments, including many that are offered in salons, doesn’t require any special lights or use various other chemicals. The launch includes 19 shades in total, with individual shades costing $12, the one color dip mani system running $75 and the six color dip mani system coming in at an even $100.
The individual shades, one color dip mani systems and full six color dip mani system can all be purchased on the Olive & June website, while supplies last.
Celebrities Like Ina Garten Are Embracing This Fall Styling Trend
Fall is very much underway, and with it comes an endless amount of amazing outfit inspiration from the celebrity sphere. We’ve seen so many incredible trends crop up already this year, with the peekaboo bra trend making its return, loved by the likes of Jennifer Lopez. But this fall it seems all-out scarves, adding not just an extra layer of warmth to an outfit but rather an elevated, chic accessory to take an ensemble to the next level.
View this post on InstagramIna has already showcased a variety of stunning scarves over on her Instagram grid so far this fall, including this simple animal print design. It adds both visual interest and contrast to her otherwise neutral outfit, as well as a fun flair.
Ina’s love of animal print went the extra mile in another scarf she wore which featured not just the print of wild beasts, but the beasts themselves. It’s such a unique pattern – a cream scarf with patterns of zebras and leopards interspersed with tufts of foliage to add in snippets of a natural habitat.
View this post on InstagramThough my personal favorite so far has to be the abstract multicolored scarf Ina wore earlier this month while showcasing her Chipotle and rosemary roasted nut recipe online earlier this month. It’s so simple yet so fun and it’s one of those subdued pieces that has more to see the more time you spend looking at it. The blanket stitch over the edges of the scarf really pulls it together, making the piece go from fluid to structured and intentional.
The star was so happy in her caption, really reminding me of the joys of fall and its flavors. She gushed: “One of [my] favorite fall appetizers is my Chipotle and Rosemary Roasted Nuts. Everyone goes crazy for them! You can make them ahead of time, and they’re salty and sweet—great with a cocktail. She always recommends starting with good ingredients and loves that she can get everything at Whole Foods Market and knows the quality will be great.”

Shane Gillis’ 'SNL' Return Could Come With One Big Condition, Kenan Thompson Says
Saturday Night Live veteran Kenan Thompson has finally opened up about the controversy surrounding Shane Gillis’ latest monologue on the long-running show, saying Gillis’ comments have overshadowed the show’s other notable moments.
The established member of the cast has also indicated that a straightforward discussion would have to take place if Gillis were to return and host the NBC sketch comedy show again.
Speaking at the Axios Media Trends Live summit in New York City, Thompson spoke about the issue after Gillis came under criticism for making a joke about women’s workout clothing and for using a derogatory term to describe it. Thompson told Axios that he doesn’t necessarily know Gillis to be a mean person, but that he would like to talk to the comedian about the monologue if he came back to the show.
“I know Shane, and I don’t know him to be a mean person, necessarily. But if he were to come back [to ‘SNL’], I’m sure we would have a conversation of like, ‘How do you think that went?’ You know what I mean? And, ‘What do you think you could have done?’ Like a little kid, you know? I would just sit him down and be like, ‘So what do you think we could change there, pal,’” the comedian told Axios.
SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE — Episode 1907 — Pictured: (l-r) James Austin Johnson, Shane Gillis, Kenan Thompson, Mikey Day, and Ben Marshall during the “Sneakers” sketch on Saturday, October 10, 2026 — (Photo by: Will Heath/NBC via Getty Images)Although Thompson acknowledged the necessity of discussing Gillis’ material, he also showed that he was disappointed the controversy had become the main topic of conversation about the episode. As Thompson pointed out, everyone is concentrating on one particular word or one particular part of the monologue, which has taken away the focus from the other parts of the episode.
He particularly praised Grace Reiter, who is one of the more recent members of the cast, stating that she had a phenomenal episode and feels really bad because no one is talking about her. Thompson also referred to Spanish singer Rosalía, who was the musical guest that night.
Thompson said, “Grace [Reiter], one of our newest cast members, had a phenomenal show, and it’s sad because nobody’s even talking about it.”
The remarks made by Thompson showed that he was worried the controversy was drawing attention away from other performers who had taken part in the October 10 broadcast. He did not say that Gillis should be protected from criticism, but rather stressed the need to achieve a balance between giving comedians creative freedom and knowing when their material goes over the line.
When asked if Gillis would be invited back to host SNL, Thompson made it clear that he wasn’t the one who had the power to make that decision. However, if he ever came back, then people “would have to have some sort of real chat where people’s actions don’t wave-pool the rest of us.”
Gillis served as the host of the episode of Saturday Night Live that was aired on October 10, with Rosalía serving as the musical guest. In his opening monologue, the comedian made jokes regarding going back to the gym and commented negatively on women who wear short shorts when doing exercise.
The joke soon came under online criticism, with viewers and several entertainment personalities calling the comments misogynistic. Actor Dan Levy publicly opposed Gillis, stating that women’s choices about their clothing did not serve as a justification for the derogatory term.
As of writing this piece, Gillis had not yet responded to the criticism.

Roseanne Barr Reveals How Much She Earned at the Height of ‘Roseanne’
Roseanne Barr revealed she was making Friends-level money well before the cast of Friends.
In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the former sitcom star said she received an extraordinarily high salary at the height of Roseanne, the groundbreaking ABC comedy she starred in from 1988 to 1997.
“I made $1 million an episode,” Barr, 73, told THR in October 2026, noting that she earned “Friends and Charlie Sheen-level money” before it was talked about in the media.
“No, I made a million way before them all in the ’90s,” Barr said of her status as the highest-paid star on television in the mid-1990s.
Friends ran from 1994 to 2004 on NBC. Midway through the series, stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer banded together to demand higher pay. In May 2000, MarketWatch reported that the cast struck a last-minute deal that would pay them $20 million per year— each. At the time, the cast’s move to negotiate salary as an inseparable unit was unprecedented.
In the new interview, Barr revealed what she did with her Roseanne earnings.
“I still got quite a bit of it,” she shared. “The rest of it, I had some divorces and some legal problems and I had some people help themselves to a lot of it. …I got a lot left. I ain’t hurting for money.”

In 2018, Barr starred in a short-lived reboot of Roseanne. According to Celebrity Net Worth, she was paid $2.25 million, or $250,000 for each episode of the nine-episode series, and was renewed for an additional $3.25 million for a follow-up season. But that season never came for Barr.
Following a social media scandal, Roseanne was canceled, and Barr’s character was killed off via an opioid overdose. The rest of the cast, which included John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf and Sara Gilbert, moved on to a spinoff, The Conners.
Barr said she wasn’t paid for anything when ABC decided to make The Conners spinoff.
“ABC demanded that they would only make [the show] if I were not [in it],” she shared. “And they called me and said, ‘You have a choice to make: You can sign off on letting us do a show without you [or everyone is out of a job.]”
She hinted that she was “tricked” into signing away her rights and was promised that the public would know that she “did it to save the jobs of the crew.”
Barr added that killing off her character with a drug overdose “was so insulting” on so many levels.
Barr is currently working on a new comedy titled Meemaw: A Modern Day Fable.

Cara Delevingne Shares How She Ended Up Starring in Taylor Swift's 'Patient Zero' Music Video
Cara Delevingne has opened up about how she ended up collaborating with music icon Taylor Swift on her latest video for single “Patient Zero”. The model and actress, 34, chatted in a recent interview with Bustle, and shared how much she instantly adored the idea of working with Taylor.
She said: “I remember her calling me up with the idea for the video when I was driving home. I love working with friends. It’s the most incredible thing. But the scope of it, the idea, every single detail, the Easter eggs, all of it — it’s unfathomable how someone can do all of those things and do them so well. She’s a genius, she really is.”
Cara further gushed about loving the song, adding: “I remember hearing [the song] for the first time and going, ‘How long is it going to be until this song comes out? I can’t wait to have it on repeat.”
In the music video, also starring Fifty Shades of Gray star Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell, Colin plays the role of Taylor’s toxic ex-boyfriend who is now romantically involved with Dakota. Dakota leans on Taylor as a source of comfort and support, telling her all about the toxicity of her romance. Cara then comes in, portraying the character of “the other woman” Colin is cheating on Dakota with.
The phrase ‘patient zero’ refers to a person who is identified or documented to have been infected with an illness or disease in a specific outbreak. So in relation to Taylor’s song the toxicity of Colin’s love sounds like it’s being likened to something that makes anyone he dates “sick”.
I can’t wait to see what Taylor gets up to next following her amazing new tracks on The Life of a Showgirl: Encore, as well as her surprise performance set at the Museum Gala recently. Go Tay!
Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines Reveal Their Two Newest Routes Across the Pacific
For travelers mapping out milestone bucket-list journeys to the far reaches of the Pacific, the hardest part of the trip is rarely deciding where to go—it is surviving the grueling layovers. Reaching the turquoise lagoons of French Polynesia or the historic temple cities of Japan often means booking disjointed tickets, enduring long tarmac delays, and changing planes in crowded intermediate hubs.
Now, the combined force of Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines is cutting out those mid-journey headaches with two brand-new nonstop routes launching from the West Coast in spring 2027.
The airline group announced it will offer the only nonstop service connecting Seattle-Tacoma International Airport with Osaka, Japan, and Papeete, Tahiti. Both year-round routes will be flown aboard Hawaiian Airlines’ widebody Airbus A330 aircraft, giving travelers direct access to some of the world’s most sought-after cultural and tropical destinations without having to transit through Tokyo or Los Angeles.

View this post on Instagram“We’re just getting started, with more international destinations on the horizon as we grow as the leading global airline on the West Coast,” said Ben Minicucci, President and CEO of Alaska Air Group.
The new nonstop flights to Osaka kick off May 14, 2027, operating four times per week. Rather than funneling flyers through busy Tokyo airports, landing directly at Kansai International Airport places visitors right at the gateway to Japan’s culinary capital, with seamless rail access to the historic shrines of Kyoto, the serene parks of Nara, and the coastal harbor of Kobe.
Related: American Airlines Just Made a Major Seat Change on Shorter Flights
A month later, on June 11, 2027, service to Tahiti takes flight with three weekly nonstop departures between Seattle and Faa’a International Airport in Papeete. The route opens up effortless same-day connections to overwater bungalow favorites like Bora Bora and Moorea, while an expanded partnership with Air Tahiti adds convenient connections to Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. Hawaiian Airlines will also maintain its existing nonstop routes to both Osaka and Tahiti from its hub in Honolulu, giving travelers the flexibility to book open-jaw itineraries or build an extended Hawaiian stopover into their journey.
Onboard the twin-aisle Airbus A330s, travelers can book lie-flat Business Class suites, tap into free high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi for loyalty program members, and enjoy island-inspired dining and hospitality throughout the long ocean crossing.
Introductory promotional fares are currently on sale through October 26, starting at $999 round-trip for Tahiti and $1,199 round-trip for Osaka, making right now an ideal window to turn a dream Pacific journey into confirmed travel plans.

In 1970, Elvis Presley bought a Holmby Hills estate for $339,000; 50 years later, it sold for $20 million
Elvis Presley’s former Holmby Hills mansion in Los Angeles sold for $20 million in 2020, while the neighboring property brought the total sale to nearly $30 million.
A mansion once owned by Elvis Presley, the legendary King of Rock ’n’ Roll, sold for $20 million in 2020, bringing renewed attention to the singer’s former home in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles.
The seven-bedroom estate at 144 Monovale Drive was part of a larger property deal that reached $29.3 million. The neighboring lot sold for an additional $9.3 million, according to reports by Mansion Global and The Real Deal.
Built in the 1930s, the 9,700-square-foot mansion was the last home Elvis shared with his wife, Priscilla Presley, and their daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, before the couple divorced in 1973.

The sale took place about 50 years after Presley bought the property in 1970.
The Holmby Hills estate played a part in Presley’s family life during the early 1970s. The singer, who became famous for hits such as “Jailhouse Rock,” lived there with Priscilla and their daughter before their marriage ended.
The mansion was first planned as a New England-style home, according to Architectural Digest. Over time, however, several changes gave the property a different look.
During their ownership, Elvis and Priscilla spent tens of thousands of dollars updating the interiors. Their changes included remodeling the kitchen, improving the second-floor bathroom, and replacing the living room windows with French doors.
The house later gained a faux-Tudor-style wooden frame on its front exterior. These changes added to the mix of architectural styles seen across the property.
The neighboring parcel also featured a koi pond and a traditional Japanese-style teahouse, adding a separate feature to the larger estate.
The main house sold for $20 million, while the neighboring lot brought in another $9.3 million. Together, the two sales totaled $29.3 million.
The larger compound covered about 2.35 acres and included a swimming pool, a full-size tennis court and a viewing pavilion beside the court.
The property was marketed by Hilton & Hyland as a “development opportunity,” raising the possibility that a future owner could make major changes or replace the existing house.
According to Robb Report, the buyers were Ryan Hekmat and Jasmin Larian, who owns the fashion brand Cult Gaia and is the daughter of toy industry businessman Isaac Larian.
Elvis Presley died in 1977 at the age of 42, but his connection to homes across Los Angeles continues to draw attention to his real estate history. His former Holmby Hills residence remains notable as the family home he shared with Priscilla and Lisa Marie before their lives took separate paths.

'DWTS' Fans Are Mocking the Most 'Unhinged' Moment of Dedication Night With Hilarious Videos
Dedication Night on season 35 of Dancing with the Stars was filled with emotional tributes to contestants’ loved ones and heartwarming performances on Tuesday, October 20. But amid all the touching choreography and tearful stories, one dance — a zany performance to promote the upcoming Cat in the Hat movie — felt wildly out of sync to many viewers and has now inspired a plethora of hilarious responses and mock videos across social media.
The buzzworthy moment came right after contestant Tyler Cameron and his pro partner Sharna Burgess performed a moving tribute to his late mom, prompting many tears in the ballroom. The duo incorporated Cameron’s fiancee, Tate Madden, and shocked viewers by not only revealing she and Cameron are expecting their first child, but staging a gender reveal. Madden was close to sobbing with joy as pink confetti filled the air, and Cameron told co-host Julianne Hough how grateful he was to Burgess for helping them pull off such an incredible night.
As soon as their scores were revealed (four 8s from the judges), Hough turned to the camera and announced they had another special surprise. Season 32 champion Xochitl Gomez was back in the ballroom, she said, and was there to perform a dance inspired by her new Cat in the Hat movie.
Partnered with DWTS pro Brandon Armstrong, the duo was quickly surrounded by troupe dancers decked out in red outfits with shocks of blue hair. Dr. Seuss characters, including Thing 1 and Thing 3, bounced through the air on a screen behind them, as a cartoonish pop song pulsed through the studio.
View this post on InstagramViewers immediately flooded social media with hilarious reactions, including someone who tweeted, “the cat in the hat dance after a dead mom dedication is genuinely the most unhinged thing abc has ever aired and thats saying something”
View this post on Instagram“The emotional whiplash needs its own award,” another quipped, while a different fan said they were sure they’d been suddenly “transported to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade.” Someone else wrote, “Thought I was hallucinating between the snot and tears 😭😭”
Another sarcastically accompanied a video of the dance with the question, “how do I vote for these divas?” and added, “my mirrorball winners tbh🫪🪩”
View this post on InstagramMany content creators posted funny videos mocking the Dr. Seuss dance, including the above video from TikTokkers Macy Thompson and Emily Sarre. It features them pretending to be the corporate staffers who made the decision to drop a high-energy, cartoonish, and sponsored dance into the mix on Dedication Night.
“There is not going to be a dry eye in sight,” Macy says at one point, perkily describing the transition from Burgess and Cameron’s dance into the Cat in the Hat spectacle. “It is going to be highly emotional. Everyone is going to be so moved, processing everything. But before they have the chance to process anything that they just witnessed, BOOM! Cat in the Hat-inspired dance! Blue wigs everywhere, larger-than-life-sized Things 1 and 2 coming out. It’s going to feel almost like a drug-induced experience and no one is going to have any idea what’s going on.”

‘Nobody Wants This’ Season 3 Is So Much Better Than Season 2—But It Still Can’t Touch Season 1
The highly anticipated third season of Kristen Bell and Adam Brody’s fan-favorite Netflix romcom Nobody Wants This has finally landed on the streaming platform, and while this new installment is a clear improvement compared to Season 2, Season 3 still hasn’t quite achieved the magic of the show’s very first season.
Part of the trouble with Nobody Wants This Season 2 was that it felt like the show was stuck in a never-ending loop of Joanne (Bell) and Noah (Brody) bumping into the very same issues over and over again in their relationship—namely, that Joanne’s refusal to convert to Judaism to be with Noah was creating difficulties in Noah’s personal and professional life and leading to serious tensions between the two lovebirds. While that might be realistic and perhaps even accurate to the true story on which the series is based, it didn’t make for very good television.
However, Season 3 certainly didn’t have that problem. As the Nobody Wants This Season 3 trailer promised, this new season picks up with Noah and Joanne having moved in together, Joanne well on her way to fully embracing Judaism with her conversion classes and even Sasha (Timothy Simons) and Esther (Jackie Tohn) undergoing serious changes following their shocking separation at the end of Season 2. The latter, in turn, also meant some interesting narrative updates for Joanne’s sister, Morgan (Justine Lupe).

Season 3 also maintains that energy from beginning to end, with major updates and twists coming throughout the season, right down to the final ten minutes of the last episode. What’s more, this is arguably the best season for certain characters. Joanne and Morgan’s dad, Henry (Michael Hitchcock), for example, has never seemed funnier, and Morgan herself actually shined this season—and was considerably more likable than she has been in seasons past, especially in terms of how she treats Joanne.
As was expected by many fans of the show, this was also the best season so far for Esther, who was finally able to strike out on her own and begin establishing her own life and sense of identity now that she is no longer married to Sasha. That made room for Tohn’s personality and comedy background to shine through, adding greater depth to a character that many viewers had already been drawn to, even as it was clear that she was being restricted, to a degree, by her marriage.

Yet, even with these exciting plot details and positive character updates, there’s no question that Nobody Wants This Season 1 continues to be far superior to anything that the show has put out since. There was something downright magical about the chemistry between Noah and Joanne in that season, and it made audiences root for them despite the very daunting odds and the fact that, on paper, the two didn’t make much sense together. And that wasn’t solely about their different religions, either; at first, Noah was a more reserved, even traditional character, whereas Joanne was a zany, often chaotic sex and relationships podcaster.
It’s been nice to see the couple settle down together and become happy and comfortable in their relationship, although it has dimmed the original vibrancy of their dynamic, to a degree. Things, at times, feel a bit too perfect between the two of them, such as with one scene in Season 3 in which Noah isn’t making nearly as big a deal as he should about an issue that arises at an airport (that Joanne is actually making significantly worse, not better, with her response to it).
The trouble, in part, seems to be that Season 3 treated Joanne and Noah’s relationship as something that has already been resolved narratively, despite that not quite being how relationships work in real life. Yes, the two face obstacles in the season, but there is very little tension between them at all, outside of a one-off argument that actually felt out of place because the rest of the season made their relationship seem so free from internal stresses. On a larger scale, this created a weird us versus them dynamic with various other characters, wherein Noah and Joanne suddenly seemed perfect and everyone else seemed flawed—including in ways that came across as Noah and Joanne looking down on others, at times.
Even so, fans of Nobody Wants This will undoubtedly love this new season. Bell continues to prove that she can play the Eleanor Shellstrop character type with plenty of charm and humor, and the supporting characters were finally given the room to become more than just extras in Noah and Joanne’s great love story.
Nobody Wants This Season 3 arrives on Netflix on Oct. 22, and all ten episodes will be released at the same time.

1964 Bob Dylan Hit, Inspired by One of the 'Best Movies of All Time,' Is Still a Favorite 62 Years Later
A quick search would reveal that a good chunk of popular tracks took inspiration from hit films, and Bob Dylan developed a popular early ’60s track based on an Alfred Hitchcock classic.
In June 1964, Dylan released “Motorpsycho Nitemare” (also known as “Motorpsycho Nightmare”) four years after the release of Hitchcock’s horror cinema staple, Psycho. The 1960 film was based on the 1959 novel by Robert Bloch and starred Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles, John Gavin, and Martin Balsam. It’s considered one of the best movies of all time by Rotten Tomatoes and multiple publications.
According to reports, Dylan wrote the track inspired by the film, as well as Federico Fellini‘s 1960 film La Dolce Vita. Unlike Hitchcock’s, Fellini’s is a satirical comedy-drama about a tabloid journalist roaming through Rome looking for love and happiness.
Dylan has never actually discussed why Psycho and La Dolce Vita became the inspiration for “Motorpsycho Nitemare,” but its lyrics make clear references to the films. The lyrics parody the storyline that occurs in the horror film, talking about a salesman looking for a place to stay after hours on the road.
He’s soon lured to a farmhouse where he convinces the owner he’s not a salesman, but a doctor. There’s one rule: he can’t touch the farmer’s daughter. Anyone who has seen the film can guess what occurs when the daughter sneaks into his room at night, as Dylan sings, “lookin’ just like Tony Perkins.”
“Motorpsycho Nitemare” goes on with Dylan narrating that the daughter offers to shower with him, but knowing exactly where the scenario leads next. “Oh, no, no, I’ve been through this movie before,” sings Dylan, in reference to the iconic Psycho scene where Marion Crane (Leigh) gets stabbed to death.
The films weren’t the only thing that inspired Dylan at the time to write the track. He developed it during the height of the Cold War, when Soviet communism was seen as a threat to the U.S. The narrator in the song tries to escape the farm and yells the only thing he can think of: “I like Fidel Castro and his beard!”
Dylan’s song never entered the charts, as it was released as part of his fourth studio album, Another Side of Bob Dylan. Its inspiration behind the lyrics still made it a rock classic, even named by Collider as one of the best inspired by film.
In 1951, Rose Totino opened a Minneapolis pizzeria with her husband; 24 years later, she sold Totino's to Pillsbury for $22 million
Rose Totino helped turn a small Minneapolis pizza shop into one of America’s best-known frozen pizza brands.
In 1975, 24 years after opening the business with her husband, Jim Totino, she sold Totino’s to the Pillsbury Company for a deal reported at $22 million.
Her success came from making pizza that people loved and finding a way to bring it into homes across the country. Her work also helped change the frozen pizza business, especially through her efforts to develop a crisp crust that held up after freezing and baking.
Totino died of cancer in June 1994 at age 79, according to her obituary published that month. Beyond her business success, she was known for giving millions of dollars to charities and supporting schools, churches and community projects.

In 1951, Rose and Jim Totino opened Totino’s Italian Kitchen in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They started with a small kitchen and a $1,500 loan, according to Investors.
A story often told about the business says Rose had to bake a pizza for a bank loan officer because he did not know what pizza was. The loan helped the couple open their shop, which soon became popular with local customers.
Demand grew so much that the restaurant expanded from takeout to sit-down dining. At its busiest, the shop reportedly made 400 to 500 pizzas a day.
The couple later saw a chance to reach more customers by selling frozen pizza. In 1962, they began making frozen pizzas for people to bake at home, per General Mills. The move helped take their business beyond Minneapolis and into the growing national market for convenient frozen food.
In 1975, Pillsbury acquired Totino’s. Reports put the deal at about $22 million, including company stock, while some accounts describe the cash offer and stock portion separately.
Rose continued working with the company after the sale. She helped develop Totino’s signature “Crisp Crust,” designed to stay crisp after freezing and baking. The crust patent was granted in 1979, helping strengthen the brand’s place in the frozen pizza market.
The acquisition also brought Rose a major career milestone: She became Pillsbury’s first female corporate vice president. Her work was later recognized in 2008, when she was inducted into the Minnesota Inventors Hall of Fame for her role in frozen pizza innovation.
Rose also used her success to support others. Her charitable giving helped fund arts and mental health projects, school improvements, church repairs and community needs in Minnesota and her family’s ancestral village of Scopoli, Italy.
Her story began with a small restaurant and a loan for an unfamiliar food. It grew into a business that helped make frozen pizza a familiar choice for families across America.
Martha Stewart’s Floral Wool Rug Adds a Vintage Look Without the Antique Heirloom Price Tag at 63% Off
Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.
An area rug can instantly soften a room, adding warmth and texture to your space. When it comes to materials, wool is especially appealing because it’s naturally durable and well suited to everyday use. For busy households, that makes a wool rug a practical choice that can still bring plenty of style to your home.
One option with a soft, romantic look is the Martha Stewart Rugs Metro Hand-Tufted Floral Wool Rug. Right now, it’s on sale for 63% off at Wayfair, bringing the price down from $312 to just $115. That makes it a much more approachable way to add a high-end touch to your floors without spending a fortune.
Martha Stewart Rugs Metro Hand-Tufted Floral Wool Rug, $115 (was $312) at Wayfair Shop at WayfairThe rug is hand-tufted from wool and features a high-low pile, meaning some parts of the surface sit slightly higher than others. This creates a textured feel underfoot while giving the floral design more dimension. The backing combines latex and cotton to help provide structure and keep the rug feeling substantial.
Its muted blush pink and creamy off-white palette gives the rug a gentle, understated look that can brighten a room without overpowering the rest of your decor. The rug features vintage-inspired floral and damask patterns and an intentionally lived-in appearance. It has an antique-style feel that works especially well with traditional, cottagecore, or romantic spaces.
There are several sizes and shapes available, making it easier to find one that fits your room. Options include 4-by-6-foot and 8-by-10-foot rectangular rugs, a 6-foot round version, a 6-foot square option, and a 2-foot-3-inch-by-9-foot runner. The runner can work particularly well in a hallway, while the larger options can help anchor a bedroom, living room, or other open area.
Since the rug arrives tightly rolled, you may notice that the corners curl slightly when you first unroll it. That’s normal and should resolve as the fibers relax. You can lay the rug upside down for a couple of days to help it flatten naturally, or place a heavy, safe-to-move object over each corner until the bends disappear.
Keeping a wool rug looking its best is also fairly straightforward. Vacuum regularly to keep dust, dirt, and crumbs from settling into the fibers, and if you spot a loose thread, snip it carefully with scissors instead of pulling it. To help prevent fading and uneven wear, avoid prolonged direct sunlight and rotate the rug periodically. For spills, gently blot the area with a clean, dye-free cloth, and consider professional cleaning for stubborn stains.
Reviewers praised the look and feel of the rug. One shopper said it “looks so pretty” in their bedroom, adding, “This rug is very beautiful. The pile is thick and dense and feels soft underfoot.” Another reviewer said it’s “very good quality,” writing, “It’s thick and comfortable to walk on.”

1973 Country Classic, Ranked Among the ‘Greatest Songs of All Time,’ Reimagined by Ella Langley in Honor of Dolly Parton
Ella Langley was among several stars who paid tribute to Dolly Parton at Belmont University’s Fisher Center for the Performing Arts in Nashville, Tennessee, on Wednesday, Oct. 21, as part of CMA Presents I Will Always Love You: A Celebration of Dolly Parton. The two-hour special which aired live from 8-10:00p.m. CT on ABC and Disney+.
Honoring Parton, who died on Aug. 25, 2026, at age 80, Langley delivered a rendition of the country icon’s 1973 country classic “Jolene.” In a TikTok video of the performance, Langley appears in a satin yellow dress embellished with jewels across the mesh sleeves and upper chest.
She wore her hair in an elegant bun as she performed the song with a full band, showcasing her signature storytelling vocals from center stage.
Released as a single in October 1973, and written by Parton, “Jolene” tells the story of a woman pleading with another woman not to take her partner. The song also appears on Parton’s 1974 album of the same name. In 2021, Rolling Stone ranked “Jolene” at No. 63 on its list of 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Over the years, “Jolene” has been covered by numerous artists, including Miley Cyrus and Olivia-Newton John. This wasn’t Langley’s first performance of the classic. She previously rendered the song in her home state of Alabama following Parton’s passing.
Other performers at the event included Reba McEntire, Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town, Lady A, Lainey Wilson, Kelsea Ballerini, Darius Rucker, Zac Brown, Carly Pearce, Amy Grant, Vince Gill, Brad Paisley, Ashley McBryde, and many others. The tribute show also included archival footage and personal stories of Parton’s decades-long career.
For viewers who missed CMA Presents I Will Always Love You: A Celebration of Dolly Parton, the two-hour special will be available to stream on Hulu beginning Oct. 22. In addition, proceeds from the event go to benefit Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.
