Iconic ‘70s Folk Rocker, 84, Blows Crowd Away With Red Rocks Performance: ‘He’s Still Got It’
There are sounds that define a generation, and the quartet of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young is among them. David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Neil Young, and Graham Nash have not only made some of the most heartfelt folk rock together, but they have also each forged an admirable path on their own. While the formidable group's last performance together was in 2013 at a benefit concert, the surviving members, Stephen Stills, Neil Young, and Graham Nash, have remained active as solo performers. And when it comes to Graham Nash, fans can take heart in knowing his iconic voice is still as legendary as ever.
Graham Nash recently opened for The Avett Brothers at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado. Fans are sharing footage from the landmark event, and a recent clip has them in awe of how incredible he still sounds live.

"Graham Nash has such a beautiful and unique voice," added another.
"...He still got it... And those accompanying are awesome. Impressive," commented another.
The Avett Brothers' weekend at Red Rocks also included appearances by The Mountain Goats and Asleep at the Wheel.
Graham Nash is currently touring throughout North America with upcoming shows scheduled across the country.

A Deeper Look at "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes"In the clip, Graham Nash harmonizes the beloved CSN tune "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" alongside Seth Avett and Scott Avett, a track that first made its mark on the music scene on their 1969 self-titled debut album. The song solidified their status as a folk-rock supergroup.
According to American Songwriter, all three of the founding rockers hailed from accomplished bands prior to forming: Crosby was in The Byrds, Stills was in Buffalo Springfield, and Nash co-founded The Hollies. The trio famously met at Cass Elliot's house during one of her legendary get-togethers and quickly realized how extraordinarily well their voices blended.
The song itself was slated to run over seven minutes, but Atlantic Records was initially adamant that it was too long for commercial radio. Stills reportedly began composing parts of "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" before the group even formed, with the final single version eventually hitting No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 11 on the Canadian charts.
When asked who inspired the multi-part epic, Stills confessed it was written about his famous ex-partner and fellow folk icon Judy Collins.
"Yeah, of course I wrote it for Judy Collins," Stills admitted. "But we had broken up long before the album came out. When she heard it, she called me up and said, 'Gosh, it was like getting a love letter! After all these years.'”

For years, Chef Boyardee has managed to delight shoppers with the brand's signature ravioli products, each of which has left consumers more than a little nostalgic for their own bygone childhood.
As delicious as Chef Boyardee's original product lineup is on its own, the company has just unveiled a brand-new spin on their classic Italian cuisine in the form of their highly anticipated high-protein canned pasta products.
According to a recent press release from the company, Chef Boyardee is set to release five fresh pastas in their newly unveiled high-protein product lineup. These flavors specifically include:
- 25g Protein Chili Mac: "hearty beef flavor and savory chili spices"
- 26g Protein Beef Ravioli: "savory beef-filled ravioli enveloped in a creamy tomato sauce"
- 27g Protein Beefaroni: "rich tomato meat sauce with savory seasonings"
- 25g Protein Spaghetti & Meatballs: "flavorful meatballs in a rich tomato sauce"
- 25g Protein Chicken with Rice & Vegetables: "tender chicken, rice and vegetables in a savory seasoned sauce"
Made with an average 25 grams of protein, Chef Boyardee's latest pasta offerings brings the signature flavors of its namesake with the energy-boosting quality ingredients diners might look for as a post-workout snack.
"Chef Protein represents a meaningful leap forward for the canned pasta category," said Dan Anglemyer, COO & CMO at Hometown Food Company. "As consumers continue seeking convenient, affordable ways to get more protein into their diets, we're excited to bring an entirely new offering to shelf that delivers on taste, value, and nutrition."
"We're supporting the launch with a significant marketing investment, including a new national campaign, retail activation, and influencer partnerships designed to drive awareness, trial, and long-term growth for the brand," Anglemyer went on to say.
Available nationwide this coming August, the new meals serve as Chef Boyardee's vision for the future, allowing them to meet a "growing consumer demand for convenient, affordable, and satisfying high-protein meal options."
Marvel Studios TV Stars Talk Horror Turns This Fall
Marvel Television stars Dan Stevens (Legion) and Deborah Ann Woll (Daredevil) were on hand at the Bold Voice of Contemporary Horror panel at San Diego Comic-Con this past weekend to discuss their trajectories throughout genre television and film.
For Stevens, his career took a turn when he landed The Guest, an action-horror indie that took him from Downton Abbeyleading man to Hollywood movie stardom. "Shout out to The Guest, it changed my life, but it was also, I guess, the first horror thriller that I had done. And it started an incredible relationship with [filmmaker] Adam Wingard, and we've worked with him many times since," he said, referencing Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and the upcoming Onslaught, which is being touted as a spiritual sequel to The Guest. "I'm looking forward to what we have yet to create, he and I. We have several ideas in the pipeline. The journey we've been on since that little film to Onslaught has been incredible."

He continued to discuss how he's gotten to explore genre more deeply, including two mental asylum horror and sci-fi stints, having previously starred in Legion for Marvel Studios and, more recently, The Devil in Silver for AMC+. Explaining that horror is something he enjoys because it's "in dialogue with the audience, but it is a game. It's like, if we give you all the information. There is no mystery. If we give you none. It's impenetrable. And so it's like that drip-feeding and also sitting in certain tropes that we recognize. So it's like, 'oh, OK, I think I know that this is going well. I know that she's going to be there, and that's going to happen.' And then it does it. And just subverting that expectation and just constantly teasing and playing with the audience with sitting in things that are unfamiliar and unrecognizable before a shocking surprise."
Woll, who is set to star in Shudder's horror mystery The Cycle, added, "We've been obsessed with the story our whole lives. And it means the story that we consume and the story that we create, and after you do that for decades, you start to have an instinctual sense of what works, what doesn't work, where you can break the rules, and how you can take the trope and turn it on its head, and I know for me, it's always going to be curiosity and imagination first." the actress shard, "So when I think about Dungeons and Dragons and how much that exercise is my ability to be imaginative and spontaneous, I would say that work is how, like, they each inform each other. So my strength of story is from these years of building that up and doing traditional storytelling. And I can use that in D&D to create narrative. And then in D&D, the spontaneity and flexibility come back, and I think it makes me a better actor and more able to be flexible in the moment."

As a fan who takes her RPG experience to imbue her performances with, the actress shared a love for other horror mediums in the immersive space. When asked which ones, she pointed to the work of JFI Productions and her friend Daniel Montgomery. "He did Creep in LA as well; it's extraordinary. So I recommend [it] if you can find these kinds of interactive live theater experiences, especially those done by companies like my friend's. It's just a whole other way to experience it in a way that feels safe, but also like you're stepping into it yourself. So yeah, I really recommend one of those kinds of artistic experiences."
Stevens agreed and shared his spooky season tradition: "Halloween Horror Nights at Universal. My kids are now of age where my eldest particularly loves going. It's an annual thing; our birthdays fall around when Halloween Horror Nights comes along."

Popular French DJ Kavinsky Dead at 50
French DJ Kavinsky, whose real name is Vincent Belorgey, died on Tuesday, July 28, at the age of 50.
The musician was found dead in his Paris home on Tuesday night, and authorities have opened an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death. At this time, no foul play has been reported. Reuters reports that he was complaining of headaches in the days leading up to his death. The BBC further adds that the French newspaper Le Figaro spoke to a police source who says he might have had a stroke.
Kavinsky is best known for his hit “Nightcall,” which was in Nicolas Winding Refn’s 2011 film “Drive.” In 2024, he performed the song at the Paris Olympic Games during the closing ceremony.
In his career, he released his EP, "Teddy Boy," in 2006 and opened for Daft Punk during their 2007 tour. He also appeared on The Weeknd's track "Odd Look" in 2013.
Following news of his death, French culture minister Catherine Pégard paid tribute to the DJ.
"Danceable and nostalgic at the same time, his music will continue to resonate across borders and different generations," she wrote.
As did The Weeknd.
"So heartbreaking to hear the news. An inspiration to so many, including myself. I will continue to honor your name and your music. Rest easy, Kavinsky," the singer-songwriter posted on X.
Fans also paid tribute.
"Rest in peace, Kavinsky. 'Nightcall' left an unforgettable mark on music and film, inspiring countless fans around the world. His artistry and unique sound will continue to live on through his work. My heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and everyone who loved his music," one person wrote.
"This is absolutely devastating news. 'Nightcall' is such a timeless track," another person commented.
"A huge loss for electronic music. Kavinsky’s unique sound and “Nightcall” helped define an entire era of synthwave," a fan expressed.
'Camp Rock 3' and Carvel Team Up for a Nostalgic Lineup of Campfire Treats
In celebration of the upcoming Disney+ movie Camp Rock 3, Carvel has unveiled a new partnership with the beloved movie franchise.
Just in time for the movie’s release on Aug. 13, Carvel will begin serving nostalgic summer flavors like toasted marshmallow soft serve and a scooped s’mores ice cream beginning on Aug. 4.
“Nothing says summer quite like gathering around a campfire for toasted marshmallows and s’mores, which is why we’re bringing the fan-favorite Campfire Treats back for a seasonal return,” Jim Salerno, Carvel’s chief brand officer, said in a statement obtained by Parade. “Pairing this flavor lineup with Camp Rock 3 allows us to celebrate summer nostalgia in a fresh way, as we reconnect with longtime fans while introducing a new generation to the fun, flavor, and excitement that have made Carvel and Camp Rock summertime staples.”
Camp Rock 3 will bring viewers back into the world of Camp Rock, and back to the beloved boy band Connect 3 (played by the Jonas Brothers). Starring Liamani, Lumi Pollack and Hudson Stone, these campers compete for a chance to become Connect 3’s opening act.
“I think our intention was to come in and create an opportunity for a whole new generation to fall in love with the Camp Rock franchise and give a platform for new talent,” Nick Jonas said in an interview with BuzzFeed. “That movie did so much for us and had a big impact on our lives and careers. It feels really special to be able to pass that on to a new generation.”
Camp Rock 3 will be available to watch on Disney+ on Aug. 13. Check out Carvel’s new “summer camp setlist” below:
Toasted Marshmallow Soft Serve: Dive into the rich sweetness of caramelized, toasted marshmallow blended into Carvel’s original, creamy soft serve.

S'mores Sundae Dasher®: The ultimate camp companion. Layers of Toasted Marshmallow soft serve, graham cracker topping, and rich fudge ribbons, topped with whipped cream and a decadent fudge drizzle.
Toasted Marshmallow Flying Saucer®: A fun twist on a classic. Creamy Toasted Marshmallow soft serve tucked between two rich chocolatey wafers.
‘Jumanji: Open World’ Trailer Is a Throwback to Original Film Premise
Sony has just dropped the new trailer for Jumanji: Open World, with a stampede of surprises. The film, directed by Jake Kasdan, opens this Christmas, and this look at the third installment of the reboot teases a return to the premise of the 1995 Robin WilliamsJumanji in a big way.
This time, the world of the Jumanji video game breaks out of the game system and into the real world, just like how the board game came to life in the first original franchise film. Instead of real people trapped in the game being released back into the real world, here we have the video game characters get free, which means Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan go from player avatars to real people. The kicker is that they're stuck on demo mode of their team archetypes and will need help to adapt to modern reality outside of the jungle.
The gamers they embodied in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) and Jumanji: The Next Level (2019) co-star with returning cast members Alex Wolff,Morgan Turner, Ser'Darius Blain, and Madison Iseman, who get to play alongside their former alter egos. Also rejoining the fun areDanny DeVito, Nick Jonas, Awkwafina, Marin Hinkle, Bebe Neuwirth, Lamorne Morris and Rhys Darby.
Jumanji: Open World is the final installment of Sony's action-adventure trilogy that aims to bring the best of the game to a massive last-level showdown. The film was originally slated to open on December 11 before Sony moved the release to Christmas in a strategic move. Otherwise, it would come out right before Dune: Part III and Avengers: Doomsday. Now, at the very least, it will have the family holiday crowds to court after the buzz of Dunesday dies down.
Jumanji: Open World hits theaters on Christmas Day, December 25.
Jimmy Fallon Soars to No. 1 in Key Adult Demo Despite Nielsen Dip — Here's Why
The saying goes, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em."
With one late-night lost, however, he's putting his own spin on the concept in order to "beat" the competition in other areas.
Jimmy Fallon may not be No. 1 in the infamous Nielsen ratings, USA Today reports, but he's surging in a key area that might be making fellow comedians Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers double-take.
Thanks in part to a viral clip where The Odyssey cast recaps the film's entire plot in 60 seconds, Fallon, 51, was reportedly ranked first among adults 18-49 for a recent week.
The Saturday Night Live alum is also experimenting with new formats in general, including a new microdrama called Who Billionaire? Me Billionaire — which has helped The Tonight Show gain more than 100 million social media followers, per USA Today.
"It seems to be kind of the trend. So we wanted to spoof it as soon as we could," Fallon told the news outlet in an article published Tuesday, July 28.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GTSti5TnLHA
Trying Times for Late NightAs fans well know, it's been a tough year in general for the late-night realm of television. Of course, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert was canceled on CBS — though viewers were certainly pleased when it received a whopping nine Emmy nominations just recently. Plus, Jimmy Kimmel went on a temporary hiatus following comments he made about Charlie Kirk's assassination, and USA Today reports that ABC still faces threats from the FCC.
So, the fact that Fallon keeps changing the game in the best of ways instills hope for us that the genre can live on.
Kathy Griffin Making WavesIn other Fallon news, comedian Kathy Griffin recently sparked a wave of supportive reactions after claiming she hasn’t been invited back to The Tonight Show in more than a decade, joking that she’s “banned” from the late-night show. While Griffin’s comments centered on Fallon’s booking choices, fans quickly shifted the conversation — and many found themselves agreeing with the comedian. Find out more here.
1965 Bob Dylan Staple So Good It Forced John Lennon To Question His Own Talents
“Subterranean Homesick Blues” by Bob Dylan is a song so good that it made John Lennonquestion his own abilities as a songwriter.
In 1980, in one of Lennon’s last interviews before his death, he admitted that listening to “Subterranean Homesick Blues” made him worry that he would never be as good a songwriter as Dylan.
“Listen, there’s nothing wrong with following examples,” Lennon later said, per Far Out Magazine, referring to this song. “We can have figureheads and people we admire, but we don’t need leaders. ‘Don’t follow leaders, watch the parking meters.’”
Related: Underrated 1964 Bob Dylan Song Inspired by Classic Alfred Hitchcock Movie
The track was released as a single in America on March 8, 1985, and is the first song on the album Bringing It All Back Home, released some two weeks later. Despite its enduring legacy, the song only peaked at number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Lennon would later team up with Harry Nilsson to cover “Subterranean Homesick Blues”. A cover of the song was released in 1974 as the second single from Harry Nilsson’s album Pussy Cats and was produced by John Lennon.
The song is one of Dylan’s most Beat-influenced lyrics, likely drawing inspiration from Jack Kerouac’s novel The Subterraneans. The lyrics are full of outsider, anti-establishment themes along with drug references.
Lennon may have been jealous of Dylan's writing, but "Subterranean Homesick Blues" was actually inspired by a Chuck Berry track. When Bob Dylan Comentaries compared the two lyrics, they could easily make a link between the two.
"It’s from Chuck Berry, a bit of “Too Much Monkey Business” and some of the scat songs of the ’40s," Dylan explained to the LA Times. “Buddy Holly’s songs were much more simplified, but what I got out of Buddy was that you can take influences from anywhere. Like his ‘That’ll Be the Day.’ I read somewhere that it was a line he heard in a movie, and I started realizing you can take things from everyday life that you hear people say.

Stassi Schroeder Opens Up on Her Modern Marriage Role Reversal and 'Mr. Mom' Husband Beau Clark (Exclusive)
Stassi SchroederClark is starring in her own reality show six years after she was fired from Vanderpump Rules—and reveals in an exclusive Parade interview that she’s in a Mr. Mom relationship with her husband Beau Clark.
Fans can see the TV villainess who stoked drama on the Bravo series from 2013-2020 on House of Stassi, which premieres Wednesday, July 29 on Freeform, with the full season then streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ July 30.
House of Stassi will show Schroeder’s tumultuous life with Beau, sisterGeorgianna Aubin, and friends Taylor Strecker, Taylor “Teddy” Donohue, and Rob Evors. Most notably, Vanderpump Rules co-stars and pals Katie Maloney and Kristina Kelly are also a major part of the series.
But it’s her marriage to commercial casting director Beau that takes center stage. Stassi, 38, who raises daughter Hartford, 5, and son Messer, 2, with Beau, 46, tells Parade that House of Stassi will cover a marriage role reversal.
“I see that as an important part of the show because I don’t see that many reality shows where the gender positions are switched and in our house, that is how it is,” she says. “I am the breadwinner, and I make most of the decisions for the family, and Beau is like a stay-at-home dad. He does every single drop-off and pick-up; he does their lunches; he cooks for the house. He runs the household. He does all the things that I should technically be doing, and we really explore that dynamic throughout the show and talk about it a lot, and what it means, and how it makes him feel, and I think that’s really important for people to see that. That like, there are stay-at-home dads, too. It doesn’t always have to be a stay-at-home mom.”
Stassi Schroeder stars on Freeform/Hulu's House of StassiDisney/Sami Drasin
In addition to House of Stassi, she’s currently supporting her family with a brand deal with Popsicle. In the summer “flavor feud” promotion, Stassi is a celebrity team captain for the cherry popsicle, while podcaster Drew Afualo and singer Ashlee Simpson represent team orange and grape, respectively. They are fighting over which flavor will get a standalone box.

Stassi says she now picks brands based on her family, noting, “I feel like once you become a mom, every job opportunity or every decision you have to make that comes across your desk, you have to factor them in but now, I look for things I know my kids would also be into. Kids are obsessed with popsicles. We have a popsicle like five days out of the seven every single week during the summer.”
And it will likely be Mr. Mom Beau handing out the icy treats! When asked if she had to talk Beau into major camera time on the new show, Stassi smiles, “No, I didn’t and I should probably bring this up to him now and ask him, like, ‘Hey, were you okay with it?’ He’s always just like supported my dreams so much and there was never a moment where he was just like, ‘hey, I’m not sure if I want to do this.’ I think he just like wants me to get everything that I try and go after.”

Vanderpump Rules showed single Stassi navigating a few relationships, including a notorious one with co-star Jax Taylor. But House of Stassi presents the star in a new time in her life with adorable husband Beau. Stassi tied the knot with him in September 2020 and she gushes, “He’s the best person I’ve ever met. Every decision that he makes comes from a place of being morally sound, like he’s trying to make the decision based on being a good person, and I think that’s one of the most amazing qualities you can find in a human being.”
However, Stassi is hard on herself, saying, “As a wife, I could be better at it. I have my insecurities about—I’m so focused on being a mom and work that I recognize that [with] Beau, I need to be better for [him] sometimes. But, right now, that’s like the season of my life where you can’t have it all. Some things are always suffering and right now, I’m really focused on my children and my work and it’s like if you don’t fit into that category, I don’t know how to make it work. But I think as a mom, I’m really understanding. I think I’m a lot more patient that I realized I was but I’m also like—I don’t have a parenting style or anything like that. To me, it’s just like surviving. Like, every day, you want to survive and do the best for your kids. I just hope that my kids are happy and confident. That’s all you can hope for them and I hope that I’m a mom that’s giving that to them.”

Reconnecting with VPR friend Katie MaloneyVanderpump Rules fans will be intrigued with House of Stassi covering the star’s reunion with friend Katie. She recently told Marie Claire, “No one knows that we had a falling out for years.”
Stassi tells Parade about Katie’s participation, “Oh, nothing has made more sense than that. It felt like it was written in the stars, like a destiny kind of situation. Katie’s been one of my best friends throughout my 20s. When I was off Vanderpump Rules we kind of drifted apart for a few reasons and we’d always made it a point to like support each other in things. If we ever needed each other, we’d be there but we lost our friendship and once this show started coming into fruition, I was just like, this feels like the absolute right moment for us to try to work on our friendship again because our friendship was on reality TV the whole time before. It only makes sense that we’re doing this on camera this time around.”

VR’s Kristina is also on House of Stassi and Stassi points out, “She’s the whole reason that I started working at SUR [restaurant]. I’ve been friends with her since I was like 20 years old and she’s still one of my closest friends and I wanted this show to be about the people that I loved the most and she’s one of those people.”
Stassi is a reality veteran and reminds us, “I’ve been doing reality TV since I was 16 years old. I was on the Amazing Race with my family and then I did this show Queen Bees and even before Vanderpump Rules, I shot a few things for different reality shows and it just feels like it’s always been a part of me and what I do and what I know. I like to dream big so this [House of Stassi] was something I worked really hard on and it took almost four years to get made. I’m really proud of it.
“I’ve been off Vanderpump Rules for six years and a lot has happened. I used to give all of myself to Vanderpump Rules but I was single then, going from relationship to relationship, just manic, crazy, lots of dark passenger moments, and now I’m married. I am a mom of two. I have a lot more responsibilities and I think there’s a lot for women around my age to relate to. I think my audience has grown up with me and so they’re seeing the progression of things. When people watch it, I think they’re going to feel a lot less alone about what’s going on in their lives, whether that is getting into a relationship or having kids or being the breadwinner of your family or owning your own home. Or friendship breakups and makeups. As we get older, we all go in different paths with our lives and that’s a big theme in the show as well.”
According to Stassi, viewers have a lot to look forward to as “there’s way more drama than I actually anticipated there would be. I remember when we first started filming I told all the cast members, all my friends and family who we decided to do this with, I was like, ‘You guys have to be honest about all of your feelings and all of your thoughts. You can’t sweep anything under the rug. We need to like talk about it, be open, the show needs to be the realest thing that’s ever made’ and they really took that seriously, every single one of them, to the detriment of me, sometimes. They took it really far.” She laughs, “I will live with that.”

Cecily Strong Gets Emotional Reflecting on Her ‘Saturday Night Live’ Career (Exclusive)
It’s been nearly four years since Cecily Strong said goodbye to Saturday Night Live. Known for her spot-on political impressions and witty recurring characters, Strong appeared in 11 seasons of the show, remaining the longest-tenured female cast member in SNL history.
Strong’s emotional departure aired on Dec. 17, 2022. In her final episode, Strong was serenaded by Austin Butler, appeared as Cathy Anne for one last Weekend Update, and received a tearful goodbye from the cast. Since then, Strong has celebrated an engagement, motherhood, and even a return to Broadway. But SNL is something that’s still on her mind, especially with the recent departure of Chloe Fineman.
Fineman was Strong’s understudy before becoming a repertory cast member in 2021. Earlier this month, Fineman announced that she would be departing from the late-night show, saying that it feels like “the right time” to make her exit.
Strong spoke with Parade in an exclusive interview, reflecting on Fineman’s SNL career as well as her own.
“[Fineman is] like one of the most gifted impressionists ever,” Strong said. “The fact that she had impressions of all of us was cool and scary and weird.”
Fineman was recently cast in Netflix’s upcoming drama series Myron Bolitar. While Strong said she’s excited to see that Fineman has another job lined up right away, she also said that it’s “beautiful and sad” to leave SNL.
“I hope that she's just so proud of herself and her seven years there and all she did,” Strong said. “And there are really fun moments that we get to have on video [and] get to see forever. I revisit [them] all the time, and I love it.”
Strong began tearing up when reflecting on her own final moments with SNL. She said that for her, leaving the show felt like “a graduation.”
NBC / Getty Images“I just love these people so much, and they are hugely important parts of my life and my identity and my training as a human being,” Strong said. “And I'm so, so grateful I got to know them and got to have time with them.”
While Strong’s SNL career may have come to a close, her acting career certainly hasn’t. She recently wrapped up an off-Broadway run of Tom Noonan’s What Happened Was…, which explores loneliness and connection in Manhattan. Balancing her new life as a mom and returning to the stage, Strong said it was a show she was “so proud of.”
“It was such an odd, funny little show that we weren't sure if an audience would go along for the ride with us,” Strong said. “And really, every audience, every show, they went with us, and it was incredible.”
Although Cecily isn’t currently on the stage, she will be appearing in Vought Rising, Amazon MGM Studios' prequel to the hit comic book series The Boys. While most details about the show remain under wraps, Strong said she “had a blast” with it.
“I thought the character was so fun,” Strong said. “My costumes were so much fun. Everyone was just delightful on that set too. I mean really, they’re just the nicest people.”
Strong’s projects have also extended beyond just acting. Today, she announced a new partnership with Rejuvenate to launch their new PowerMax Multi-Surface Spray Mop. Aimed at helping make cleaning easier for busy families, Strong said the partnership felt like a natural fit as she enters her “motherhood era.”
“My fiancé is super clean and tidy and organized,” Strong explained. “I, like many other actors, am not. My space is very lived in. It’s been amazing for my relationship having this [product]. The minute our mop came, he ripped the box open and was like, ‘Let’s use it right now.'”

1972 No. 1 Soul Hit, Sung by a Group of Siblings, Topped the Charts 54 Years Ago Today
“Too Late to Turn Back Now” was a 1972 song released by the Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose. It rose all the way to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, right behind “Lean on Me” by Bill Withers. The song also hit No. 1 on the Top 100 Singles from Cash Box during the week of July 29, 54 years ago today.
The band consisted of siblings Carter, Eddie, Billie Jo, and Rose Cornelius. Rose had already achieved success before joining the band. She had appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1967 and had been professionally performing in Las Vegas. However, she ended up moving back home to help form the group with her siblings.
“Too Late to Turn Back Now” sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold disc. To this day, it remains a popular song. It was recently featured in the hit series Daisy Jones & The Six on Amazon Prime. It was also included in the films BlacKkKlansman and The Ice Storm.
As one reviewer stated, “It’s no wonder why [the song] was popular. It’s a phenomenal, catchy ballad. The strings and horns are beautifully layered and mixed, just as they are across the rest of the album.” They continued, “The Cornelius family didn’t break new ground for the soul genre. They are an often forgotten group that just doesn’t have the same catalogue as a group like The Spinners, for example. But for a few short years, they were consistently contributing the kind of lovely music that comes to mind when people think of soul. This album is a great listen for those rainy, cloudy days.”

Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose had another huge hit on the Billboard charts called "Treat Her Like a Lady," which was featured in the opening credits of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. Just like “Too Late to Turn Back Now,” it was written by Eddie Cornelius.
"Don't Ever Be Lonely" and "I'm Never Gonna Be Alone Anymore" are two more songs from the band that made it onto the Billboard Hot 100.
Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose disbanded in 1976.
'He’s Mine': Princess Diana's Defiant Wedding Day Showdown With Camilla Parker Bowles
To the millions watching around the world, Princess Diana’s walk down the aisle on her wedding day to marry Prince Charles was a storybook moment. But behind the veil, the young bride had a sharp, singular focus.
As she scanned the sea of faces at St. Paul's Cathedral, Diana reportedly hunted for Camilla Parker Bowles. She wanted to deliver a clear message to her romantic rival right before taking her vows.
Royal commentator Julie Montagu told Us Weekly in 2021 that Diana was “fixated” on Camilla ahead of her wedding day. She was said to have searched for her as she walked down the aisle on the arm of her father, John Spencer.
“I think the fixation was always there in the back of her mind, but of course, I suspect it started on the wedding day itself,” Montagu said.

The royal commentator continued, “The fixation started on the wedding day because we know that Diana looked out at the enormous congregation with thousands of people. And she saw [Camilla], she looked for her and in one sense, it was looking at her saying, ‘Right, he’s mine. I’ve got him.'”
She added, "She wanted to make sure that she clocked Camilla in that congregation so that she could feel comforted by the fact that she’s at the vicar and Camilla’s in a pew."
From the early days of her courtship with Prince Charles, Diana learned of Charles and Camilla's friendship. She knew instantly that it wasn't something she could simply ignore.
Although she was young when she and Charles began seeing one another seriously, Diana was not naive. Even as their engagement became public, Diana remained acutely aware that Camilla's presence in Charles's life hung over their romance like an persistent shadow.
In the early days of the couple's relationship, Camilla reached out to Diana to try and offer friendship. Oprah Daily reprinted an excerpt from Andrew Morton's 1992 book, Diana: In Her Own Words: "I met [Camilla] very early on," she said. "I was introduced to the circle, but I was a threat. I was a very young girl, but I was a threat."
"By that time, I’d realized there was somebody else around," Diana continued. "I’d been staying at Bolehyde with the Parker Bowles' an awful lot, and I couldn’t understand why she kept saying to me, ‘Don’t push him into doing this, don’t do that.’ She knew so much about what he was doing privately and about what we were doing privately."
She concluded, "Eventually, I worked it all out and found the proof of the pudding, and people were willing to talk to me." The tense relationship between Diana, Charles, and Camilla was serialized in the Netflix series, The Crown.
As the wedding date approached, Diana discovered that Charles had a bracelet made for Camilla with the initials "G" and "F" for their personal nicknames "Gladys" and "Fred." Later, on their honeymoon, she saw two photos of Camilla in his diary, and cufflinks with their initials engraved on them.
Charles and Camilla's affair continued throughout his marriage to Princess Diana. She later admitted in a 1995 interview with Martin Bashir, "There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded."
Looking back, that brief moment in the cathedral says a lot about who Princess Diana was from day one. Millions of people watched a fairytale unfold on TV, but she was living in the real world. Spotting Camilla in the crowd wasn't just a coincidence, it was a quiet way of standing her ground and entering her marriage to Prince Charles with her eyes wide open.
Vintage Decor Lovers Are Eyeing Drew Barrymore’s ‘Beautifully Crafted’ 60%-Off Burlwood Arched Mirror at Walmart
Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.
It’s no secret that the most inviting homes are the ones that feel collected, not copied. Vintage-inspired area rugs, patchwork bedding, woven accents, and carved furniture continue to dominate interiors because they instantly make a room feel warmer and more lived in. The only downside? True antique pieces often require hours of estate sale hunting and feature prices that make you second-guess bringing them home.
Thankfully, Walmart has an easier (and much more affordable) alternative. The Beautiful By Drew Barrymore Burlwood Arched Boho Vanity Decorative Mirror is currently marked down 60%, dropping from its usual $75 to just $30. With its rich burlwood finish, softly rounded arch, and timeless silhouette, it has all the charm of a vintage flea market find without the estate sale markup.
Beautiful By Drew Barrymore Burlwood Arched Boho Vanity Decorative Mirror, $30 (was $75) at Walmart Shop at WalmartThis mirror recreates the distinctive swirling wood grain that made burlwood one of the most sought-after furniture finishes of the 1920s and 1930s and then again in the 1970s and 1980s. Known for its dramatic knots, marbled grain patterns, and organic movement, burlwood became a staple in everything from luxury consoles and cocktail tables to dressers and wall mirrors, and it's recently made a major comeback in today's interiors. Rather than looking flat or uniform, the frame mimics the naturally varied patterns that make genuine burlwood so recognizable.
Measuring 22 inches wide by 22 inches high and 1 inch deep, the generously sized mirror is large enough to make an impact while remaining versatile enough for smaller walls. The reflective surface helps bounce natural light throughout a room, making entryways, bedrooms, bathrooms, and living spaces appear brighter and more open.
Its wall-mounted hanging design allows it to work above a vanity, dresser, console table, fireplace mantel, or hallway table, while the curved top softens surrounding furniture and architectural lines. Whether you're creating a dedicated getting-ready space or simply looking to fill an empty wall, the mirror offers both function and decorative appeal.

Because the light color of burlwood works as a neutral, this mirror layers easily into a variety of decorating styles. It looks right at home alongside antique brass, woven baskets, linen lampshades, vintage books, ceramic vases, marble accents, and warm wood furniture, but also pairs surprisingly well with cleaner, more modern pieces for a collected look.
Walmart shoppers shared their adoration for this "beautifully crafted” mirror in the reviews section, calling it “solid,” “sturdy,” and “easy to hang.” One reviewer wrote, “The subtle pattern makes it versatile enough to blend into different decor styles.”

New Jared Leto BBC Documentary Makes Criminal Sexual Conduct Claims, and It’s Not the First Time
A bombshell new BBC documentary details criminal sexual conduct allegations against actor and musician Jared Leto.
BBC’sJared Leto: Hollywood’s Dark Secret features four allegations from women who accuse the celeb of offenses that took place during their teen years. These include an alleged sexual assault in a motel bathroom that happened when one of the women was 17 and threats of sexual assault when another woman was left alone in a hotel room with the Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman when she was 19.
Another now-adult woman claims to have had sexual relations with Leto when she was only 17. She told BBC documentary director Alice McShane of her sexual encounter with the then-34-year-old Leto in 2006, “I had mentioned to him that my dad was in law enforcement. That I knew with certainty that here in California the age of consent is 18. He just kind of shrugged it off like it wasn’t a huge concern for him.”
A fourth accuser alleges the Oscar-winning actor made sexually explicit phone calls to her when she was only 16 and later asked her to sign an NDA (which she did not sign). The BBC claims to have seen the unsigned non-disclosure agreement.
Along with these women, four additional reported victims also told the BBC that Leto made strange and suggestive phone calls to them.
The BBC’s documentary includes interviews with nine women who are accusing Leto of misconduct between 2002 and 2016. At the time, he was in his 30s and 40s.
While the BBC notes that the network did attempt to contact Leto about these allegations, he did not respond immediately.
This is not the first time the actor has faced sexual misconduct allegations. In June of 2025, Air Mail reported on nine alleged assault victims who accused the musician of engaging in inappropriate behavior several years ago. Additionally, Los Angeles DJ Allie Teilz reshared a 2012 post in which she wrote, “Youre not really in LA until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage at an M83 show…In a kilt… And a snow hat.” At the time, Leto’s reps denied all accusations.
Along with Air Mail’s jaw-dropping report, actor Dylan Sprouse also put Jared Leto’s supposed inappropriate behavior on blast. The former Disney star lashed out on social media in 2018, sharing on Twitter (now X), “Yo @JaredLeto now that you’ve slid into the dm’s of every female model aged 18-25, what would you say your success rate is?”
At the time, Leto’s fans stood behind him, clapping back at Sprouse’s post with comments such as, “It is so sad that a former wanna-be-actor from Disney actually thinks an Oscar-winning, Rockstar, award-winning director, million-dollar tech investor, is actually going to respond to any of this. Other than maybe by attorney…you know what a cease and desist is right kiddo,” and “Yo @dylansprouse now that you’ve slandered @JaredLeto what would you say your success rate is?”
Following the release of the BBC's documentary, Jared Leto issued a response, telling Page Six on Wednesday morning, "I have never sexually assaulted anyone in my entire life" and that the claims are "absolutely and categorically false."
Night Ranger’s 1982 Hard Rock Smash Barely Had Any Lyrics, But Ranks as One of Their Best Songs
In 1982, Night Ranger proved that less can definitely be more when it comes to rock and roll.
The band's debut single "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" didn't rely on complex storytelling or endless verses to make an impact. Instead, it focused on sheer power, soaring guitar solos, and a simple hook that instantly put them on the map.
Ultimate Classic Rock ranked the band's greatest hits, and the 1982 hit landed at No. 3 on a list of 10, behind "You Can Still Rock in America" and "Sister Christian." Considering it was their very first release, finishing right behind the band's biggest anthems shows just how much punch it still packs.
The site highlighted Night Ranger's dual guitarists, Brad Gillis and Jeff Watson, for trading fast-paced riffs that drove the song’s heavy rhythm. They also gave credit to keyboardist Alan “Fitz” Fitzgerald, whose synth work rounded out their sound.

Supported by Kelly Keagy on drums and vocals and Jack Blades as the band's bassist and vocalist, Night Ranger had all the elements for success right out the gate. But when writing "Don't Tell Me You Love Me," Blades was concerned that he didn't pack enough words into what would become the group's debut song.
He told Songfacts that he was concerned about shortchanging listeners. "I didn't think I'd written enough lyrics [for "Don't Tell Me You Love Me'], because it seemed like it was so easy, but there weren't a lot of words," he began.
"And I always thought, 'Man, am I shortchanging the song? Shouldn't there be more lyrics?' But my producer goes, 'No, man, it's fine the way it is,'" Blades continued.
The musician concluded, "[The producer] said, 'What you've succeeded in doing is conveying the whole idea of the song in a minimum amount of words, without having to write four verses, a bunch of choruses, a bridge, and everything like that. It totally gets what the message is in the song with what you've done.' And he says, 'Congratulations. A lot of people have a hard time doing that.'"
Blades said that the song was intended to be "fun and happy," look at a new relationship. However, there's a message for a new love in its catchy chorus: "Don't tell me you love me, don't tell me you love me, don't tell me I don't wanna know."
Genius shows that the chorus was used six times throughout the song. It's interwoven into Blades' minimal lyrics and packs a powerful musical punch.
"Don't Tell Me You Love Me" peaked at No. 40 on the Billboard Hot 100. It kicked off a series of successful Night Ranger singles in the following years, including "Sister Christian," "(You Can Still) Rock in America," "When You Close Your Eyes," "Sentimental Street," and "Four in the Morning (I Can't Take Anymore)."
According to Night Ranger's official website, the band has dates scheduled throughout March, 2027.
Noah Kahan Slams White House for Unauthorized Use of His Song
Noah Kahan has called out Donald Trump and the White House for using his song in a social media post.
It came after Trump visited General Motors, and the post included Kahan's popular song "American Cars." But, Kahan came out saying that he did not approve of them using his music.
“Would never approve of my music being used in support of you or this administration,” Kahan replied to the post on Instagram, per DEADLINE.
Noah Levine, who co-wrote the song with Kahan, also commented on the post, directing his comment at Trump by writing that the "song isn’t for you."
Following Kahan's comment, the White House removed his song from the Instagram post, but it is still used in the TikTok video.
Kahan is one of many artists who have called out Trump for unauthorized use of their songs. Specifically, Katy Perry blasted the administration for using her song "Firework" on July 25.
“I am deeply appalled and angry to see “Firework” used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes. I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it,” she posted. "I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments. To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for. My music is for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare.”
Ariana Grande also called Trump out in June when her song "Bye" was used in a post about ICE agents arresting people.
“Please do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense. (Expletive) ice,” she commented at the time, per Reuters.
Beyoncé, Adele, Celine Dion, Foo Fighters, Guns N’ Roses, Jack White/White Stripes, Kenny Loggins, Neil Young, Olivia Rodrigo, Ozzy Osbourne, Rihanna, Kesha, and Tom Petty are among others who have slammed the administration for using their songs.
