Another member of Brad Pittand Angelina Jolie's family is reportedly taking steps to leave the "Pitt" name behind.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the former couple's daughter Zahara has filed a petition to legally change her name from Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt to Zahara Marley Jolie. The petition was reportedly filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on June 4, though Zahara signed the paperwork back on April 28.

The move comes just weeks after the 21-year-old celebrated a major milestone of her own. On May 17, Zahara graduated from Spelman College in Atlanta with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology. During the commencement ceremony, she was introduced using only her mother's surname.

While Zahara has not publicly commented on the decision, she isn't the first of her siblings to distance themselves from the Jolie-Pitt hyphenation.

Her younger sister, Shiloh, was the first to legally petitioned to remove "Pitt" from her surname shortly after turning 18 in 2024. More recently, reports surfaced that Zahara's older brother Maddox had also moved to legally drop Pitt from his name, too. Although Maddox has not publicly addressed the decision, he had already begun using Jolie professionally, including in his assistant director credit on Angelina's 2025 film Couture.

The latest development comes nearly a decade after Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in 2016. Jolie, 51, and Pitt, 62, share six children together: Maddox, 24, Pax, 22, Zahara, 21, Shiloh, 19, and 17-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.

The family has largely remained private about the the split, though Angelina previously offered a rare glimpse into its impact last fall. In a declaration filed in October 2025 as part of the former couple's ongoing legal battle over Château Miraval, Angelina wrote, "The events leading to my need to separate from my ex-husband were emotionally difficult for me and our children."

She went on to explain that neither she nor the couple's six children had returned to the French estate since filing for divorce in 2016, adding, "To this day, the children and I have never again set foot on the property, given its connection to the painful events leading to the divorce.

Most people associate the chart-topping '60s single "Somebody to Love" with Jefferson Airplane, and with good reason. It was the legendary band's first major hit, after all, not to mention one of the first massively successful songs from the era-defining San Francisco music scene. But in fact, "Somebody to Love" wasn't originally a Jefferson Airplane song.

Written by Darby Slick after a breakup (and reportedly fueled by his frustrations with the free love movement of the time), "Somebody to Love" was first released in 1966 as a single by the Great Society, featuring Darby's sister-in-law Grace Slick on vocals, her husband Jerry Slick playing drums, and Darby on guitar. Unfortunately, the song didn't take the band very far, and before long, Great Society would break up anyway.

Darby started to become interested in exploring Indian music; around the same time, the already-established Jefferson Airplane asked Grace to join the band following the departure of their previous lead singer, Signe Toly Anderson, according to American Songwriter.

When Grace joined Jefferson Airplane, she didn't just bring her iconic vocal skills, she also brought two songs that would go on to be huge hits: "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love."

Unlike the Great Society's version, Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody to Love" shot up the charts, peaking at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in June of 1967 and establishing the band as a force to contend with.

Even though Darby wasn't a member of Jefferson Airplane, since he wrote "Somebody to Love," the song's success was a boon for him, too.

"When [Slick] left to join the Airplane, it allowed me to actually start to study the Indian music full-time," Darby recalled in a 2021 interview. "Then, the money I got allowed me to study it for many years. So I went in to study 12 years nonstop, just absolutely full-time. For one of those years I practiced exercises for 12 hours a day, six days a week. It was just a total commitment to the classical music of northern India."

In the years since "Somebody to Love" first blew up, it's only grown in popularity. Rolling Stone ranked the track #279 on their list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time," and Michael Gallucci of Ultimate Classic Rock declared it Jefferson Airplane's #1 song "because it drives harder than almost anything else they ever recorded," adding, "Slick checks in with her all-time greatest vocal (she originally cut the song with her pre-Airplane band the Great Society), and the hook is bigger and brighter than most of the band's psychedelic folk-outs."

Spencer Pratt just lost his lead in the race for Mayor of L.A., and now it looks like Nithya Raman will advance to the November runoff race with incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. And while the former reality TV star has stayed mum, MAGA has something to say about it. More specifically, President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vancehave something to say about The Hills alum’s unexpected loss — and so do fans (scratch that, critics). 

What did Donald Trump say about Spencer Pratt’s loss in Los Angeles?

While Trump never officially endorsed Pratt, he did have some good things to say about the candidate. Of course, they do share some similarities. They’re both former reality stars-turned-political figures, they’re both outside contenders, and they’re both often cast in the villain role. 

In May, Trump told reporters, “I’d like to see him do well. He’s a character. I hear he’s a big MAGA person. He’s doing well.” On Monday, after news of Raman’s lead broke, Trump posted to Truth Social, “Not possible for Spencer Pratt to have lost L.A. runoffs after the big lead he had. 3rd World Nation. Rigged Elections!”

Even though Pratt was touted as the early winner and the media had already pitted him against Bass in the upcoming fall election, as the mail-in ballots were counted, things took a dramatic turn. Okay, so maybe it wasn’t dramatic in terms of the numbers. By Tuesday, June 9, Raman had 229,576 votes, and Pratt had 207,757. With just over 92% of the votes in, 66,000 votes remain. 

What did Vice Presdient J.D. Vance say about Spencer Pratt losing the election?

Like Trump, Vance wasn't happy about the loss. While he didn’t post his views on social media, he did air his grievances on live TV. 

During an interview with Fox News, the Vice President said, “Fundamentally, the problem here with this whole thing is, how is it that you had Karen Bass who was in first place, Spencer Pratt was in second place, and then this other woman was in third place. You would expect these mail-in ballots to kind of make that same basic pattern where number one gets the most votes, number two would get the second most votes, and so on.”

Vance continued, “ But somehow we find ourselves in a situation where number one, they’re still receiving ballots, not just counting ballots, Jessie; they’re still receiving ballots. And number two, the way that they’re coming in just so happens to work out such that the Republican is getting kicked out of the final two, so it’s a Democrat versus a Democrat runoff. That seems pretty shady to me.”

What did fans have to say about Spencer Pratt and J.D. Vance?

In a recent post on the Entertainment subreddit, fans and critics voiced their opinions about Vance’s interview. One Redditor posted, “Maybe people remembered who Spencer Pratt is,” and another pointed out, “It’s literally the trial run for discrediting any result from the mid-term elections they don’t like.” 

Others brought up Pratt’s reality TV fame, with one Reddit user saying, “Yeah, so weird that LA, a city that’s under 20% registered conservative, didn’t pick the idiot fame chaser from The Hills,” and another added, “The only surprising part is he made it as far as he did.”

When it comes to home and kitchen essentials, it's hard to compete with the steady stream of irreplaceable products coming out of Costco. From cookware staples and meal prep containers to pantry organizers and whimsical accent pieces, you'd be hard-pressed to leave the store empty-handed after any given visit.

This week, Costco is living up to its reputation with a stylish stoneware bowl set perfect for a wide range of kitchen needs. The Zrike 8-Piece Ceramic Food Storage Set is available in select warehouses for just $24, with two iconic designs to choose from: Peanuts (Snoopy) and Hello Kitty. Featuring both medium and large bowls in each set, this versatile find is both a charming and practical addition to any kitchen setup.

Zrike 8-Piece Ceramic Food Storage Set, $23.99 at Costco View this post on Instagram

Spotted by @costcohotfinds, who promptly shared the news online, Costco's Zrike 8-Piece Ceramic Food Storage Set perfectly captures the charm of two beloved animated designs and pairs them with a reliable stoneware construction. Designed to bring a playful, decorative touch to everyday food storage needs, both styles more than serve their purpose, with four bowls and four lids included in each set.

Whether you choose bubbly Hello Kitty or classic Snoopy and Woodstock, you'll be heading home with a set accented by etched graphics atop a clean white base. Inside each set, you'll find two 6.25-by-three-inch medium bowls and two 7.5-by-3.5-inch large bowls, offering plenty of options for prepping meals at home. Even better, each bowl comes with its own clear plastic vented lid, ensuring everything stays fresh inside while helping prevent spills and messes too.

"OMG I need both," one fan wrote in response to Laura's post. "I swear I never see the cute stuff when I go to Costco," another added, also noting, "I love this!"

Others naturally agreed with the sentiment, with one fan exclaiming, "oh my gosh, how cute," and another adding "Eeek! Decisions, decisions," as they clearly struggled to decide which style to get first.

Versatility Beyond Food Storage

So what exactly makes this set a must-have? For starters, these containers are both microwave- and dishwasher-safe, making them easy to use for everything from storing ingredients to reheating leftovers to serving food. And thanks to the included clear vented lids, your food also reheats more evenly as steam can escape during microwave use. Add in the adorably playful etched graphics, and suddenly you've got a container set you'll be tempted to keep on display at all times.

Outside of meal prep and leftover storage, these containers can easily come in clutch for a wide range of needs. Use one as a catch-all for loose change and jewelry, or to corral everyday essentials like keys and sunglasses on an entryway table. They can also double as a countertop fruit bowl, a serving dish for snacks when guests are over or simply a decorative accent for small items like candles or office supplies. If you can dream it up, chances are these bowls can handle it. 

Don't wait to snag your favorite design; once word gets out, these bowls are bound to sell out fast. And since they're not currently listed on Costco's website, you can bet shoppers will be checking their local warehouses to track one down for themselves. While you're there, keep an eye out for Costco's retro boombox and eight-piece kitchen towel set as well.

Over the years, Top Chef has been one of the shows that keeps fans coming back. Premiering in March 2006 on Bravo, the show has legitimately built a sort of cult following that has thrust many of its competitors into the spotlight nearly overnight. Some—like current hostKristen Kish—have seen the upside of the spotlight, while others who, even if they meant no harm, have not gotten the most favorable responses from viewers.

But whether you're a fan of the contestants that everyone loves to hate, like to root for the underdog from the beginning or have your sights on the hometown hero, there's no denying that there's someone for everyone during each season of the famed show. And this season (Season 23, if you were wondering how locked in we are with keeping this culinary party going on Bravo), there was one chef in particular who really stole the hearts of viewers everywhere: Chef Rhoda Magbitang.

Representing the beautiful island of Hawai'i, Chef Rhoda made viewers laugh, cry and want to lick our screens every week during the competition. And while the newfound star saw her journey briefly cut short when she was eliminated during week five, her grit and gumption saw her claw her way back into the competition after winning Last Chance Kitchen for the season.

Now, donning the title of this season's Top Chef: Carolinas, Magbitang's story is one that is filled with heart, determination, appreciation and joy. Though this chef has been a fan of the long-running series since its inception, if you ask her why she chose to join this season of the show, you may be surprised to know her answer.

"If I'm being honest, to this day, I don't know what made me want to do it," Magbitang told Parade while chatting in CanoeHouse—the Japanese-inspired oceanfront restaurant at Mauna Lani, Auberge Collection in Hawai'i where she serves as executive chef. "Obviously, there are a lot of battles that go on inside your head. Like, whether or not you want to expose yourself on national television. For some reason though, I ended up doing it."

Magbitang, who is of Filipino descent, moved to the United States when she was just 17 years old along with her then-15-year-old younger sister. And while falling in love with cooking after relocating to California was a pure accident, what wasn't an accident was her love for the Top Chef franchise since its first episode way back when. That's why her appearance on the show means more than fans will ever know.

"I've watched the show since the first episode and I remember distinctly watching it and just thinking about the evolution of the show, and how it changed people's lives. You've seen it in real time. I've witnessed it in real time," said the talented chef. "It definitely crossed my mind back then like 'Oh, maybe one day I'll be good enough to be on it.' It's one of those things that once it's planted in your head, it's hard to get it out. I mean when you get approached to do a Top Chef, you can't just say "no". I don't know what finally pushed me over the edge to say, 'Yes, I'll do it,' but here we are."

Here we are, indeed, but don't think the journey to get to the show's finish line was without a few bumps in the road. While Magbitang has been a fan-favorite since she stepped into the onscreen kitchen, during Week 5, the judges didn't find her dish to be as favorable. And as a result, she was eliminated.

"They didn't even bring an interview shirt for me," she said. "I don't know if it's because no one thought I was going to be eliminated or what. I had to borrow a shirt from production to put on. There was a producer who usually does my interview, Tone, and he was kind of hyping me up. Like, 'Yeah, there's Last Chance Kitchen, let's go!' But I just kept saying, 'I don't know if this is for me.' There was so much of the competition where the noise just wouldn't quiet down in my head. And I knew, this setting—I felt like—wasn't bringing out the best of me. So, that was hard to reconcile. I couldn't, in good conscience, feel like I was putting forth my best because it just felt like it didn't fit. It wasn't a good match and I felt so numb. I couldn't bring myself to get back in the game."

That feeling, however, didn't last long because as fans saw, she dominated the Last Chance Kitchen, placing herself back in the running. And to Magbitang, there's nothing that she would change about her experience—from the good to the bad and to the ugly.

"Even with my weakest points on the show, I don't think I would have wanted to change it. Nothing ever came easy for me. So for me, it didn't make sense in my head to practice," the chef explained to Parade. "I don't think that would have helped me to implement something that doesn't necessarily come naturally to me. I've watched the show enough to know that there's a lot of thinking on your feet. And, you have to be able to adapt to the challenges, and understand what the layout is of the kitchen. I feel like my journey is so unique to me that I feel like my goal was not to dominate the season. My goal was to do really well because I can't factor in the skills of the other chefs. I only have to compete against myself. I know that people think that saying is corny, but at the end of the day, that's what you're doing."

Sure, her biggest competition was herself this season, but that doesn't mean she didn't feel that there were other contestants who gave her a run for her money.

"I was immediately very intimidated with Sherry [Cardoso]. She was—I think—the first one [that made me feel intimidated]. Because she was quiet, but she's kind of a killer. And, she's not afraid to say her peace. I love that. I just gravitate towards that, but it also terrified me in the sense of the competition."

Now that she's rocking the crown of this season's winner, though, the intimidation factor is far in her rearview and has been replaced by the surreal feeling of being named America's 23rd Top Chef. There was one thing, however, that superseded the thought of her possible win during this season's finale: Seeing her younger sister there to support her.

"It was a full circle moment. My sister and I came here when I was 17 and she was 15. She hadn't even graduated high school. We lived with my grandma, who we didn't grow up with. But that's family. So, we've gone through so much, and the fact that she's the one that was there...it didn't even feel real at all," she said. "I kept looking over to her when Kristen was about to announce the winner, but I couldn't look at her too long because I was going to start sobbing and I didn't want to look like a sore loser or anything. But it's like no, I'm crying because my sister is here. I've always looked up to her, even though she's younger than me because I always felt like she's the better person. She's just so responsible. She's good to all of us and it just felt so fitting. And there's nothing like it."

This season's finale episode obviously became a big moment for the chef for more reason than one, but her winning meal, which was rooted in her Filipino heritage, was the one dish that she was most proud of this season. Though the chef revealed that she'll never think any of her meals are perfect in her eyes, the finale meal was the one exception. The reason? It meant more to her than viewers could ever imagine.

"There was a lot of thought and we were given a lot of time to think about it," she said. "It just felt so right, but terrifying because I don't cook Filipino food, let alone do it professionally or on a finale. There were things I would change here or there, but the essence of that meal is like my heart and soul."

So would she do it all over again? Maybe. But one thing is for sure, Magbitang left there with more than just a new title. She left the show with a new portion of herself that she was happy to find.

"I did find myself a bit," she said. "There was a little bit of me that was hiding and I was like, 'Oh, there you are,' and I kind of want to see more of that, you know."

If you have felt more experienced than your years would suggest from an exceptionally young age, you may relate to having an old soul depth. These people often feel emotionally and energetically older, wiser, or more complex than their peers. Old-soul depth often conveys emotional complexity, inner maturity, and an introspective nature, allowing one to notice things others may overlook.

These individuals are often unknowingly connected to the lessons they learned in past lives. This gives them a subtle awareness that they carry into this life. As a result, they may encounter new experiences that feel familiar, particularly with feelings such as loss, love, and change.

According to numerologists and astrologers, birth datenumerology suggests that four birth dates are most likely to carry old-soul depth. While anyone of any birth date may resonate with its themes, these individuals are most naturally familar with the experience.

Which Birth Dates Have Old Soul Depth?

Check for your birth date. Disregard birth months.

Born on the 7th — The Mystic Observer

If you were born on the 7th, you're associated with the sacred digit seven in numerology. This number is regarded as the most introspective, mystical, and spiritually wise of all. People born on this date are destined to explore their rich inner world deeply. They tend to possess emotional complexity and can appreciate the nuances of life in a world that frequently views things in black and white.

Ruled by Neptune, the planet of mysticism and transcendence, you experience emotions deeply rather than superficially. You analyze the hidden layers of feelings. Achieving a level of awareness that most people never reach, you're naturally attuned to your wisdom through solitude and spiritual insight. As long as you listen to your intuition, nothing else matters. Emotional intelligence is your gift.

Born on the 26th — The Emotional Architect

If you were born on the 26th, your old soul depth is rooted in emotional responsibility and relational awareness. Ruled by Saturn, the planet of time and restrictions, you're naturally attuned to karmic wisdom. What goes around, comes around. You instinctively know this. Carrying a profound awareness of the importance of loyalty, you often learn your most important life lessons through relationships and are profoundly shaped by these long-term commitments.

Your word is your bond. Many will say what others want to hear, but you're carefully mindful of what you give your time, energy, and most importantly, promises to. In a world that focuses on small talk or superficial chat, you may often feel misunderstood. However, in the right connections, you blossom when given the container to build secure, consistent, and reliable affinity.

Born on the 29th — The Intuitive Transformer

With an intuitive gift, those born on the 29th are guided by the Moon, the cosmic luminary of emotional wisdom. You're here to feel your feelings deeply. So much so that you may often sense what's to come before it actually unfolds. Whether you channel flashes of insight or instinctively carry profound emotional insight, you're often the catalyst for others' spiritual evolution and growth.

You're meant to evolve through emotional lessons that deepen your understanding of the human experience. Through your heart, anything is possible. However, with such profound sensitivity, you may absorb your environment's energy too easily. Establishing boundaries is important so that you can achieve your innermost mission: to use your depth for emotional transformation and spiritual awakening, rather than simply bending to others' will to maintain peace.

Born on the 31st — The Independent Seer

Self-reliance and inner truth are the keys to your old-soul depth. Through autonomy and inner discovery, you unlock profound insights. Ruled by Uranus, the planet of cosmic disruption, expect to shake up the status quo. While you may feel like the quirky one who stands out against the grain at times, this uniqueness is your greatest gift.

You have a strong inner voice that guides you, and life frequently teaches lessons about independence, discipline, and authenticity. With a well-defined sense of direction, you're not easily manipulated or swayed. Remain grounded in your values and beliefs. Your ability to improve the lives of others comes from being a consistent example of your own truth. Drawing on your past-life wisdom, this birth date is encouraged to fully embrace the power of being a trailblazer in their own right and independence.

Bryan Cranston and Rhea Seehorn recently sat down to discuss all things entertainment for Variety and CNN’s Actors on Actors series.

Cranston and Seehorn have never worked together, but they both existed in the Breaking Bad universe. Cranston played Walter White in the original 2008 series, which gave him four of his seven Emmys. Seehorn portrayed Kim Wexler in the Breaking Bad spinoff Better Call Saul. 

Cranston opened up about the A-listers he’s worked with on the 2025 comedy show The Studio. Madonna will make an appearance in the series' upcoming second season.

“Madonna’s great. I gotta say, her work ethic is really impressive,” he shared “The paparazzi are everywhere trying to get a picture of her. But I was really impressed with how much she prepared. Because we didn’t know — ‘What’s she like now?’ And it’s been a while since she acted.”

Adding, ”She’s very funny! And we had Michael Keatonand DonaldGlover and JuliaGarner. It was really a lot of fun. And that show is just bonkers.”

When Seehorn asked the Malcolm in the Middle star about his experience with Kathryn Hahn, he responded with a resounding “She’s a hoot.”

Seehorn then brought up “the brilliantCatherine O’Hara, which was sad to see.”

“Oh, we miss her so much,” Cranston said. “I played Catherine O’Hara’s husband in three different productions. And then she was my nemesis in The Studio.”

O'Hara died on January 30, 2026, at 71 years old.

“She was such a joy to be with. Catherine O’Hara was a person who, you not only marveled at her comedic chops, but when it’s ‘cut,’ you say, ‘I want to sit next to Catherine.’ It was just heartbreaking to lose her,” he said.

“Well, I hope I get to be your scene partner one day,” Seehorn responded.

John Lennon achieved countless milestones with The Beatles, but one of his biggest solo successes came from a song that is often overshadowed by classics like "Imagine" and "(Just Like) Starting Over."

Released in 1974, "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night" became Lennon’s first and only solo No. 1 single in the United States during his lifetime. The track, featured on his album Walls and Bridges, topped the Billboard Hot 100 on Nov. 16, 1974, and remains a notable chapter in the former Beatle’s solo career.

The song arrived during a transitional period in Lennon’s life. At the time, he was separated from Yoko Ono and spending time with May Pang, who later recalled how the track’s title was born from one of Lennon’s late-night television sessions.

“At night, he loved to channel-surf,” Pang told Radio Times in December 2005, according to Performing Songwriter, “and he would pick up phrases from all the shows. One time, he was watching Reverend Ike, a famous black evangelist, who was saying, ‘Let me tell you guys, it doesn’t matter, it’s whatever gets you through the night.’ John loved it and said, ‘I’ve got to write it down or I’ll forget it.’ He always kept a pad and pen by the bed. That was the beginning of ‘Whatever Gets You Thru The Night’.”

The phrase quickly became the foundation for a song that would eventually make music history. While the lyrics came from a television broadcast, the music had a different source of inspiration.

According to accounts surrounding the song’s creation, Lennon drew inspiration from George McCrae’s chart-topping hit "Rock Your Baby," which was one of the biggest songs at the time. Although the finished recording sounded very different from McCrae’s smash hit, the influence helped spark Lennon’s creative process.

The song was recorded at New York City’s Record Plant studio, where Elton John happened to be working on his own material. What started as a casual studio visit soon turned into a major collaboration.

Elton John ultimately contributed harmony vocals, piano and organ to the recording, helping shape the final version that listeners would hear on radio stations across America.

Despite the song’s potential, Lennon was not convinced it would become a hit. Elton John disagreed and made a wager with his friend. He bet Lennon that "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night" would reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Lennon accepted the challenge and promised that if the song topped the chart, he would join Elton on stage during one of his concerts.

The song delivered exactly that result. After climbing to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, Lennon honored the bet by appearing at Elton John’s Thanksgiving Day concert at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 28, 1974.

The performance became one of the most memorable moments of Lennon’s solo years. During the show, he performed "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night" alongside Elton John. He also joined him for renditions of Beatles classics "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" and "I Saw Her Standing There."

The appearance would later be recognized as Lennon’s last major concert performance. 

More than five decades later, the song continues to stand as a reminder of an unexpected television inspiration, a studio collaboration with Elton John, and a chart-topping success that secured its place in rock history.

Country superstar Brad Paisley has been busy lately.

The musician's unique and innovative approach to new music began in early May, when he announced on Instagram that he was "building something," accompanied by a picture of a guitar case filled with empty containers and the word "Tacklebox."

Soon, it became apparent that Tacklebox was the name of his upcoming album: his first collection of new music in nine years, other than the Christmas project Snow GlobeTown. It's an evolving project rather than a traditional album, so instead of dropping it all at once, he began releasing one song at a time. It will include unreleased and unrecorded music from the '90s, along with new music inspired by the '80s and '90s.

On June 9, Paisley's Instagram post got his base riled up when he teased the newest song for June 12.

The 'Glass of Bourbon' Clue That Sparked a Fan Frenzy

"New song in the tacklebox this Friday featuring…. Any guesses?" He captioned a photo of someone standing in front of a microphone, holding a drink. "Glass of bourbon while singing narrows it down."

Those in the comments enthusiastically offered their suggestions.

"Alison!!" wrote fellow country singer Chris Housman, referring to Alison Krauss. Other collaborators mentioned were Carrie Underwood, Gretchen Wilson, Megan Moroney, Lainey Wilson, and Miranda Lambert.

Others surmised that the song would be "Whiskey Before Breakfast." "I’ve been waiting for it since I heard it in the SOTM album trailer," a fan commented. A reply from another fan reinforced the theory: "He’s been opening his shows with it for about a year or so now! "Hoping that we’ll get a studio cut of it at some point."

From Finland to Friday Drops: What's Next for Brad Paisley

Every Friday, Paisley has been dropping a new single off Tacklebox. So far, we have "Fallin,' "This Town Ain't Small Enough," "Without You," "Hi Ho Silverado" ft. David Lee Murphy, "Overnight Low," and "Helen Back."

Paisley is currently touring, with a stop in Helsinki, Finland, on June 8 and 9. After stops in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland, he'll return to the U.S. to finish out the tour.

Sharing with fans a scene from his 1980 film, The Jazz Singer, Diamond posted a clip of his character performing “Summerlove,” and, oh, the nostalgia that washed over us like a baseball stadium wave set to the tune of “Sweet Caroline.”

@neildiamond

From the movie, ‘The Jazz Singer,’ Neil Diamond reminds us what it’s like to be in love in the summertime. ☀️

♬ Summerlove - From "The Jazz Singer" Soundtrack - Neil Diamond

Allow us to set the scene: The performance happens about midway into the film, when Diamond’s character takes the stage at a late-night comedy club. Dressed in a jewel-toned suit and glittering button-down, he’s heckled by a hostile audience before starting an acoustic version of the song. Before long, however, the orchestra behind him kicks in, he finds his rhythm, and he wins over the crowd, including his disapproving wife and love interest/music agent backstage. It’s your classic cringe-to-crowd-pleasing movie moment.

Released in November 1980, “Summerlove” is one of many highlights on The Jazz Singer’s five-times platinum soundtrack. A sun-soaked, feel-good ballad, the song sings of a lonely boy and a lonely girl who aren’t lonely together, and perfectly captures the potent angst of a fleeting summer romance. Meanwhile, its waltz-like rhythm and laid-back vibe give Diamond’s rich vocals a platform to shine brighter than any of his signature sequin tops.

Co-written by Diamond and French composer Gilbert Bécaud, “Summerlove,” called a “simply well-constructed pop song” byuDiscover Music, contributed enormously to the soundtrack’s success. A stellar showcase for hits including “Love on the Rocks,” “Hello Again,” “America,” and, of course, “Summerlove,” the record went on to win a Grammy and remains one of the most successful projects in Diamond’s career. As UDM put it, “Cinema’s loss was music’s gain.”

Co-directed by Richard Fleischer and Sidney J. Furie, The Jazz Singerwas adapted from Samson Raphaelson's 1925Broadway play and marked the fourth screen adaptation. A modern remake of the landmark 1927 film widely considered to be the first talkie, it follows Diamond’s Yussel Rabinovitch, the son of a devout Jewish cantor who chooses to chase fame as a pop star. 

Starring Diamond in his acting debut, along with Laurence Olivier and Lucie Arnaz, the film’s problem wasn’t star power. Rather, it was everything else. Called “ridiculous,” “outmoded,” and “painfully schmaltzy,” critics did not hold back. Banking barely enough to cover its budget, the film was a flop commercially as well. 

Reflecting on the experience later, Diamond said, "I decided while I was doing The Jazz Singer that I’d rather be a really good singer than a mediocre actor; that I’d concentrate on my music, my records, and my shows."

Now 85, the Brooklyn-born singer-songwriter has built a career spanning more than seven decades, 13 Top 10 hits, and 13 Grammy nominations. So what if The Jazz Singer never quite sparkled. At least it gave us the diamond in the rough that is “Summerlove."

Beloved actress Natalie Portman, who has starred in major franchises like Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) for decades, turns 45 today—and it's shocking to realize how much she's accomplished in just 45 years.

Portman had her start in the industry as Mathilda in Léon: The Professional in 1994, and she went on to have a series of smaller roles over the next few years. However, her big break came in 1999 with Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, in which she played Padmé/Queen Amidala. At the time, it wasn't clear just how crucial Padmé (and therefore Portman as well) was to the larger Star Wars franchise.

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith confirmed that Padmé was actually the wife of Anakin Skywalker and the biological mother of two of Star Wars' most iconic characters: Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa.

Given that significance, as well as her performances in all three movies, it's no surprise that Portman's career exploded from there. In the years since, Portman has starred as Jane Foster, who ultimately became Mighty Thor, in the MCU, beginning with Thor in 2011 and followed by Thor: The Dark World in 2013 and Thor: Love and Thunder in 2022.

Some of Portman's other most well-known projects include V for Vendetta in 2005, Black Swan in 2010 and Jackie Kennedyin 2016, among others.

While some of Portman's best-known work may already be common knowledge, a lesser-known fact about the star is her impressive educational background. Specifically, while she was filming the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Portman was also studying at Harvard University. In 2003, just one year after Attack of the Clones was released in theaters, Portman graduated with a bachelor's degree in psychology.

You can officially put a big fat check mark next to another star of The Pitt'sname, because Shabana Azeez has confirmed that everybody's favorite Dr. J will return.

The actress is one of just a few actors to formally confirm their appearance in Season 3 so far, but the good news does come with a bittersweet caveat, as her time shadowing in the emergency room has come to an end.

Azeez spoke with Bustle over the weekend at the Newport Beach TV Fest, where she revealed to the publication that specialties will shift for Victoria Javadi come the start of the explosively popular medical procedural's third season.

While mum's the word regarding any specifics, the actress told the outlet, "I can say that I’m not in the ER this season." With her ER rotation out of the way, the doctor-to-be is moving on to a study in psychiatry—which shouldn't come as too much of a surprise to viewers after telling Whitaker at the end of Season 2, "The more time I spend here, the more I realize the importance of my mental health."

To prepare, Azeez has been "interviewing a lot of doctors recently," telling Parade exclusively that "emergency psych is no joke. It’s really intense."

She described Season 1 as "growing as a person, learning skills, learning stuff" for Javadi, and Season 2 as "a cracking, like a shedding of skin" as she discovered how much she doesn't yet know.

"After shedding skin, there’s a hardening. And I think that Season 3 probably will be a hardening, unfortunately," she continued, going on to describe her character as "The Pitt‘s coming of age story."

"She doesn’t know who she is in these really fundamental ways. And so I think I really like how messy that coming-of-age story will be. I really hope it continues to be as messy," she concluded.

Season 2 newcomer Sepideh Moafi, who stars as Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi, also recently confirmed her return to the PTMC, though she, too, is dodging any real teasers. In a recent interview with Variety, she told the publication that she's "not sure to what capacity" her character will be featured.

“Nothing is clear to me as to what’s happening with the story, how many episodes, all that, but I am coming back,” she said.

Written in early 2002 by director Catherine Hardwicke and then 14-year-old actress Nikki Reed, the dark and timely coming-of-age movie Thirteen made huge waves up on its 2003 release. The screenplay, written in under a week, was originally intended to be a comedy, but ended up skewing darker more aligned with Reed's actual experience as a young girl growing up in LA. Reed was specifically inspired by a friend of hers who had been arrested on methamphetamine charges when she was only 13.

Thirteen struggled to get made due to its subject matter. On the project Hardwicke said, "All the characters are women, and it was going to be rated R and about a teenager. That does not check the boxes for any studio." Ultimately, she ended up independently raising approximately $2 million to get the movie made. Actress Evan Rachel Wood (also just 14 at the time) was cast as the lead in the film opposite Reed after Michelle Trachtenberg dropped out because of conflicts with Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Shooting took place over the course of 24 days from July to September in 2002. In order to keep costs low, much of the wardrobe was provided from the actor's own closets. Despite drug use being a heavy theme of the film, the cigarettes used were filled with catnip and the pills were just crushed up vitamins.

Based loosely on Reed's own life, Thirteenfollows 13-year-old Tracy, a smart but naive 7th grader who gets swept away with drugs, sex, and petty crime after befriending the popular but rebellious girl at school, Evie. Her single, alcoholic mother struggles to manage her daughter's downward spiral and help her as her issues spin out of control.

The film was met with critical acclaim despite being viewed as "controversial." The Washington Post said in its review that the film"portrays adolescence at its most desperate. If you have a daughter in her early teens or almost there, the R-rated film will make you want to run home, hold her tightly for a few minutes, and then lock her up while you struggle with all the questions the film raises but doesn't answer."

The film made its debut at Sundance, and Hardwike took home the award at the festival for Best Direction for a Drama film. In addition to rave reviews and wins among the festival circuit, it received an Academy Award nomination and two Golden Globe nominations.

At the end of the day, Thirteen proved in 2003 that in order to leave a mark you could do so with simply having a story you felt needed to be told. And 20+ years later, its legacy and impact is still very much felt, especially around the girls it was written for.

Laverne Cox turned an unexpected wardrobe problem into a confidence moment on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

During her June 9 appearance, the Orange Is the New Black alum walked out holding an extra shoe. Cox, who is currently on a book tour for her memoir Transcendent, said the shoe situation started with a simple packing mistake.

"There's a story behind the shoe," Cox said.

Laverne Cox Explained What Happened With Her Shoe View this post on Instagram

Cox told Kelly Clarkson that the shoe she had intended to wear did not make it into her bag the way it was supposed to.

"This is the shoe I intended to wear, but I only put one in the bag," Cox said.

The actress and author explained that she has been carefully planning her outfits for her book tour, but one shoe was still left behind.

"I'm more organized than I've ever been because I'm on a book tour right now, so everything is lined up," Cox said. "And somehow only one shoe ended up in the bag."

Instead of panicking, Cox adjusted the look. "So this is for the red shoes are for the next event," she said. "So we changed the lip."

Clarkson did not seem to think Cox had anything to worry about. "Is the red shoe working?" Cox asked.

"This is what's meant to happen," Clarkson replied, adding, "When you look that good, you can make any shoe work."

That is when Cox turned the funny wardrobe mishap into something more personal.

"Thank you, but this is about owning everything that you are," Cox said. "I have big feet, and I embrace it." Clarkson immediately praised the moment, telling Cox, "You win. Nobody's ever entered like that. You win."

The Moment Fit Laverne Cox's Larger Message

Cox has long used fashion and personal storytelling as part of her work as an actress and advocate. In this case, she turned a minor style mishap into a quick reminder about self-acceptance.

It also gave the segment a memorable opening. Instead of simply sitting down to talk about her memoir, Cox entered with a shoe that showed exactly the kind of confidence she was talking about.

Cox's appearance came as she promotes Transcendent, her new memoir.

When Clarkson asked how the book tour has been going, Cox said it has been meaningful to hear directly from readers.

"It's so amazing," Cox said. "Particularly getting to chat with people who've read the book."

She added that because the book is about her own life, she is always curious about what connects most with readers.

"Because it's my life and I lived it, I'm always curious about what sticks out to people and what moves them or what connects most with them about my story," she said.

Cox Also Had a Full-Circle Kelly Clarkson Moment

Cox also told Clarkson that being on the show felt surreal because Clarkson's songs had once been part of her own karaoke life.

"'Because of You' was one of my karaoke songs," Cox said. "'Since U Been Gone' was one of my karaoke songs."

"I was just standing back there and thinking, like, what a blessing it is, the life that I get to live right now," Cox said.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is welcoming the summer with a brand-new Instagram post featuring the entire Sussex family.

The carousel of photos, which is accompanied by the caption, "Springing into summer 🌼," begins with a black-and-white image of Meghan in the grass with a large sun hat covering her face. The series of photos then includes a range of pictures reflecting the spring and summer vibes, with little eggs in a bird's nest, a short video of Meghan dicing onions, an image of a dog lounging in the sun and others.

Also appearing in the carousel are Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and the couple's two children, Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex. Harry and Archie appear together in a photo showing Harry about to pass a giant soccer ball to his son (whose face is obscured, as is almost always the case with the Sussex children).

Lilibet appears individually in a separate photo, this one showing the five-year-old princess donning a shirt that reads "B is for Beyoncé." Although Lilibet's face, like Archie's, is not shown in the photo, it's easy to tell that it's her, particularly after the birthday post Meghan shared on Lilibet's fifth birthday just a few days ago. Just like this photo, in those images, Lilibet's light red hair was clearly visible.

View this post on Instagram

This new post ends with a throwback photo of Harry and Meghan on March 31, 2017, which would have been a little under one year into their relationship. Later that same year, Meghan and Harry became engaged, and just over a year after this image was taken, on May 19, 2018, the couple got married at St. George's Chapel.

In the eight years since, the couple has experienced a number of major changes, from the births of their two children to a major move to the United States, where they continue to reside today.

All aboard for the best news of the day? Elisabeth Moss, the raw, emotional intensity behind one of Hulu’s greatest contributions to the Golden Age of Television, The Handmaid’s Tale, has just announced that she and author Emma Straub are bringing Straub's April 2026 bestseller, American Fantasy, to the big screen.

According to Variety, Moss got wind of the nostalgia-fueled hit novel while appearing on an episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. Straub was the guest celebrity bartender for the evening and as a thank-you she gave everyone free copies of her book. 

View this post on Instagram

Moss, apparently, devoured it and loved it, because she’s already optioned the rights and is now planted firmly in the producer’s chair, alongside Lindsey McManus of Love & Squalor Pictures. 

“Emma’s honest yet humorous portrayal of the humbling experience of being a fan is so rare and genuinely fun to read that we knew we had to find a way to bring it to screen,” Moss and McManus said in a joint statement yesterday.

The pair will produce the film adaptation together with Straub on board as an executive producer. At the time of writing this story, the cast, writer, director, and distributor had yet to be decided upon.

A New York Times bestseller, American Fantasy tells the story of Annie, a newly divorced woman in her 50s who reluctantly boards a cruise ship along with 3,000 other middle-aged Boy Talk fans. As she lets herself get swept up in the music of the '90s boy band and revisits the soundtrack of her youth, memories come rushing back and unexpected possibilities begin to unfold. Hm, casting thought: Toni Collette or Angela Bassett -- even Sandy Bullock -- would absolutely own this role.

Straub is the author of numerous bestsellers, with This Time Tomorrow, All Adults Here, The Vacationers, and Modern Lovers serving as fan favorites. As for Love & Squalor Pictures, the company recently launched Imperfect Women for Apple TV and The Testaments for Hulu.

Country music icon Wynonna is revealing her hard truths in her new album, The Hard Truth, which will be released on Oct. 2, but first she kicks off a new tour on June 18 at The Caverns in Pelham, TN, which will run through Oct 2 in Ashland, KY.

The new album – first time co-writing an album -- demonstrates the truth that pain threaded with joy is the sound of survival.

In The Hard Truth, Wynonna’s voice and story are highlighted alongside special guests that are incredible storytellers in their own right – Patterson Hood of Drive-By Truckers, The War and Treaty and Iron & Wine.

"I've spent a lifetime singing about heartbreak, healing, faith, and survival, but I've never made a record like this one,” Wynonna said in a statement. “These songs tell the truth about where I've been, what I've lost, what I've overcome, and who I've become. This album asked me to be brave enough to tell the truth—even when my voice shook. It challenged me to let go of perfectionism and embrace the beauty of honest emotion. My hope is that when you hear these songs, you feel what I was feeling while writing and recording them. If they help someone feel seen, understood, or a little less alone, then every hard truth was worth telling." 

The first single from the album is “Kentucky Queen,” which takes the country singer back to her childhood roots as an adult in triumph, recalling her aunt’s warning to “watch where the devil hides,” whooping with delight as she reclaims her home state and the parts of the past that saved her.

Watch the video for “Kentucky Queen” here:

The Hard Truth is a 10-track track tribute to deep sorrow and dogged persistence that strips away layer after layer of the lush production that defined Wynonna’s previous recordings, delivering in its place her most personal and powerful work yet. Producer Cactus Moser, Wynonna’s partner in music and life, is a major contributor.

This summer, Wynonna will tour around the country on a co-headlining run with fellow legend Melissa Etheridge and will return to her Kentucky roots with a mini tour of the state, including a show in her hometown of Ashland on album release day.
