’70s Rock Band Announces Update on 2026 Tour Dates
Air Supply, the legendary rock band behind the hit song "All Out of Love," delivered a major update to fans ahead of its A Matter of Time tour.
As the iconic duo gears up for their highly anticipated run this year, they announced exciting changes to their lineup.
In an Instagram update, the award-winning musicians expanded their world tour, adding four more dates, including the Philippines, as well as additional one-night shows in New Jersey, Florida and China.
The A Matter of Time tour will have a six-month run beginning in Canada on June 26 and continuing through Nov. 22 in Florida, but it will continue the next year on Feb. 6 for the finale.

Air Supply's forthcoming tour is in celebration of the band's 18th studio album, A Matter of Time, released on Feb. 26.
The studio album also marked Russell Hitchcock's and Graham Russell's first studio album in 16 years. The last album they released was Mumbo Jumbo in May 2010.
View this post on InstagramFor more than 50 years, Air Supply has been showcasing its timeless hits on stage, but Hitchcock said he will never “get tired” of it and here's why.
“Every night, people ask ‘Don’t you get tired of playing these songs after 50 years?’ And I don’t,” he told the New York Post, adding, “They’re great songs and every show is different because every audience is different.”
The 76-year-old singer revealed that they have no issue with enthusiastic and high-energy fans in the audience.
“When Airheads come to shows, they get into it,” the lead vocalist explained. “Air Supply fans don’t sit on their hands and absorb the music. They want to party and it’s usually loud, lots of singing. Honestly, if you’re not singing along, there’s something wrong with you.”
This is also one of the reasons why the duo have remained beloved by fans and relevant for so many decades.

Iconic '80s Adventure Classic Is Streaming for Free 41 Years After Release
The 1980s saw the release of many memorable movies that would go on to earn legendary status among film lovers of all ages. One of those movies? The Goonies, a beloved family favorite that is now regarded as a cult classic. If you've never seen it or are simply in the mood for a well-deserved rewatch, you're in luck, as it's now available to stream at no cost at all.
Released on June 7, 1985, The Goonies starsSean Astin, Corey Feldman, Martha Plimpton, Jeff Cohen, Anne Ramsay, and Kerri Green, as well as Oscar nominee Josh Brolin and Oscar winner Jonathan Ke Quan as a group of misfit kids who stumble upon an old treasure map and embark on an adventure of a lifetime to uncover a pirate's treasure. The film was directed by Richard Donner and is based on a story by Steven Spielberg.
Upon its theatrical release, the nostalgic film brought in over $65 million against a $19 million and went on to win multiple awards. In 1986, Astin won the award for "Best Starring Performance by a Young Actor in a Motion Picture" at the Young Artist Awards, while Ramsay took home "Best Supporting Actress" at the Saturn Awards. 2017 saw the much-loved movie be selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
In 2025, the cast reunited for the film's 40th anniversary, and their bond was still as tight as it was four decades earlier.
"We really were like a family," Green told TODAY in an interview. "A big dysfunctional, but loving, family. It was such an important time for all of us, it was such an important period of the age that we were at. We really grew up together."
Where to watch The Goonies for free in 2026To celebrate the movie's anniversary, you can now stream The Goonies on Pluto TV.

1976 Blue-Eyed Soul Smash, Written as a Challenge, Became an Unforgettable One-Hit Wonder
The story behind one of the late 1970s' most memorable one-hit wonders is anything but ordinary. Inspired by a poem, a catchy guitar riff, and a challenge, the song went on to become an unlikely blue-eyed soul classic.
Released in 1976, "Smoke From a Distant Fire" caught listeners' attention. Its distinctive sound and unforgettable hook turned Sanford-Townsend Band into chart stars almost overnight.
According to American Songwriter, the song originated during a college visit by John Townsend to his friend Ed Sanford. Sanford's roommate was a guitarist named Steven Stewart, who was said to stay up all night practicing classical guitar.
In response to his roommate's constant classical playing, Sanford challenged Stewart to come up with more commercial-sounding music. In reply, Stewart played a guitar riff that would become the basis for "Smoke From a Distant Fire."

After learning the riff, Townsend worked with some lyric ideas from Stewart and built the rest of the song around a poem he had written while in college. The finished track told the story of someone confronting a partner's infidelity and the heartbreak that comes with it.
Townsend and Sanford would go on to form a music group called The Heart, which ultimately disbanded. The pair headed to Los Angeles, where they went on to sign a publishing deal as songwriters.
Producer Jerry Wexler heard the duo's demo and helped get them signed to Warner Brothers Records. Wexler would eventually produce "Smoke From a Distant Fire" at Muscle Shoals Studios in Alabama for Sanford-Townsend Band's self-titled debut LP.
In an interview with AL.com, Townsend claimed, "That was a rare treat. Working in Muscle Shoals was always an education. Working with Jerry Wexler was graduate school."
"Smoke From a Distant Fire" would hit No. 9 on the Billboard Charts in 1977. It was the group's only Top 10 hit.
Its success would propel the Sanford-Townsend Band to opening act for Fleetwood Mac's Rumors Tour. Townsend told AL.com that the band was "a little stuck up for us." He alleged that during the year-and-a-half tour, Fleetwood Mac didn't allow their openers a sound check.
Additionally, the group opened for both Marshall Tucker and the Charlie Daniels Band. "We all spoke the same language," Townsend said. "We were always treated as equals and became great friends with most of them."
The Sanford-Townsend Band broke up in 1980 after two more albums, Duo-Glide and Nail Me to the Wall. However, both men ultimately found other success in the music industry.
According to Culture-Sonar, "Sanford co-wrote Michael McDonald’s 1982 hit 'I Keep Forgettin,' and was featured on McDonald’s solo disc If That’s What It Takes. Townsend formed the Townsend/Toler Band with guitarist Dan Toler and released a solo album, The Road Leads Home."
Legendary '70s Gothic Rock Band Performs Fan-Favorite Song for First Time in 10 Years
The Cure made history this weekend after bringing back a fan-favorite hit to their headlining set at Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona.
Taking the stage on June 5, the British gothic rock band surprised fans with a performance of "Mint Car," a song that they hadn't previously played since 2016, ending a decade-long absence for the deep cut.
The revival of "Mint Car" was an unexpected treat for fans, marking it as one of the biggest standout moments of the rockers' 29-song set, which featured hits that span across the band's 50 year career. They kicked off the set with 2024's "Alone" and closing with 1979's "Boys Don't Cry." The performance, which started a lengthy European tour, was also the first time that the six-piece have performed live since 2024.
"Mint Car" was originally released on Wild Mood Swings, the band's 10th studio album which came out in 1996. At the time of its release, the track peaked at No. 31 on the UK Singles chart and No. 58 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Elsewhere at the festival, during a surprise set, Olivia Rodrigoannounced her first-ever collaboration with none other than Robert Smith. The musicians performed their new song, "What’s Wrong With Me," which will feature on Rodrigo's forthcoming album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, set to be released on June 12.
"It’s really special to me for so many reasons… primarily because it’s my first collaboration," the "Bad Idea Right?" hitmaker told the crowd. "I can’t believe this song exists and with the person that it exists with.”
The Primavera Sound duet wasn't the first time that the unlikely pair have teamed up for a live performance. In her 2025 headlining set at Glastonbury Festival, Rodrigo invited Smith to join her on stage to perform "Just Like Heaven" and "Friday I’m In Love."
1973 Rock Classic, Whose Famous Riff Was Scrawled on a Pizza Box, Became One of Rock’s Greatest Anthems
One 1973 song has become an enduring hit that is still a fan-favorite decades later, and this is partially thanks to a piano part scribbled on a pizza box during recording. The song in question, Bachman-Turner Overdrive's "Takin' Care of Business," was first released on the band's album Bachman–Turner Overdrive II, but over time, it became one of the group's strongest legacies.
The song was actually in its early stages when band member Randy Bachman was still a part of his earlier band, the Guess Who, but it eventually found a home with Bachman-Turner Overdrive. The story behind how "Takin' Care of Business" came together is an interesting one, with a key detail revolving around a pizza box.
Bachman-Turner Overdrive member Robin "Robbie" Bachman talked about how the song came to be in an interview with New York Waste, recalling how the band was recording the song when someone in a neighboring studio booth came in and declared that it needed piano.
The man left, only to return when the music engineer pulled him back. He first asked the band if they wanted piano in the song, saying he only had six minutes to spare to make it work. Robbie said, "He then picks up a pizza box, proceeds to write the chord progression on the cardboard box, puts it down on the piano, and plays it once. It sounds great."

"He then asks us to send him a check and he leaves us his card. The fellow's name is Norman Durkee," he went on, noting that the band credited Durkee on the song. At the time, Durkee was a young, rising musician, but he went on to be a successful composer, pianist, and music director, working with the likes of Bette Midler and Barry Manilow.
Durkee's piano part in "Takin' Care of Business" remains one of his most memorable musical contributions, and it helped the song rocket to success, with the track peaking at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. It's since become an enduring anthem for rock fans everywhere.

HBO Star, 43, Reacts to Rumors of Her Hit Show Getting Rebooted
True Blood, the popular supernatural drama from HBO, ran from 2008 to 2014. Anna Camp joined the show during season 2 as Sarah Newlin, then returned during seasons 6 and 7. During an interview with PEOPLEduring MPTF's 2026 NextGen Summer Party on May 31, she spoke about the rumors that have been swirling about a reboot.
"I do know, like, how cool would it be if there was a True Blood [reboot], a second coming of such an amazing series,” she said. “Talk about a family, right? That was, like, the most wonderful family to be a part of, the craziest storylines, all of it, but we bonded so much. I only did three seasons of that show, but I'm still connected to all of those actors.”

Camp revealed that she still sees a lot of the cast and had recently been DMing with Stephen Moyer, who played Bill Compton. She also said, “Carrie Preston, I got to work with her on Elsbeth recently. Everyone starts to cry when we run into each other because it was such a magical time, so I hope the rumors are true.”
Camp added, "And Sarah Newlin is not dead. So she could come back.”
In an interview with Televisionary in 2009, Camp spoke about how much fun she had playing her character, who was considered “a bit of comic relief” for the show. She said, “It's also really easy to be funny when you're working with funny actors. It is something that I really love to do, and I hope I get to do more of it. I love to make people laugh, and it's also fun to balance that line because Sarah has some great scenes where she wasn't funny and was incredibly distraught. To be able to go from scene to scene believably, hopefully, is great, and it's great that the writers gave me such diverse scenes to play.”
True Blood was based on The Southern Vampire Mysteries by the bestselling author, Charlaine Harris. The series was narrated by Sookie Stackhouse, who was played by Anna Paquin in the HBO series.
The show is currently streaming on HBO Max.

Pink and Carey Hart's Relationship Makes Love Look Like a 'Funhouse' Indeed
Pink and former motocross competitor Carey Hart were married almost two decades ago—basically a lifetime in Hollywood years.
Their relationship has had quite a few ups and downs throughout the years, including a 2008 separation, a fling with a rock star and a hit breakup album, before reconciling as a family unit with their two children. Despite rumors of the couple calling it quits (Pink recently took to Instagram, calling it "fake news"), their relationship appears rock-solid.
Here's a look back at Pink and Carey Hart's relationship history, and how far they've come.

Just last year, Pink shared a heartfelt message to Hart on Instagram to mark their 19th anniversary.

"I’ve been with you longer than I haven’t. You’ve been my one constant. You have loved me, hated me, and loved me again. I love our story no matter what gets written. It is gritty and sweet.

How did Pink save her marriage the first time? Pink and Carey Hart attend an event in New York City in January 2018.Pink credits therapy—both individual and couples—for saving her relationship with Hart after their first split. She revealed in an Instagram Live, "It's the only reason that we're still together. I think partners, after a long time—I can't say it's a man and woman thing, I think it's a partner thing, a spouse thing—you just speak two different languages."
She expounded on the importance of therapy in a June 2020 interview with People.
"I am a huge proponent of counseling in general. We both have therapy, individually, and we do couples counseling," Pink said. "Long-term relationships are not easy. It is much easier to stay in the solid days and jump from relationship to relationship, because then you don't have to fix the problems that keep recurring. You have to end up fixing yourself; you can't fix the other person. So it can be challenging, and there's good days and there's bad days," she continued. "I think it's an impossible expectation for you to think that you're going to evolve at exactly the same pace as another person in exactly the same direction. So it takes work to redefine what's important. I don't want to break up my family. That's been my main goal, since I had a broken family. So sometimes you have to let it go. You can't die on every mountain."

Did Carey Hart get hurt?Carey Hart sustained a gruesome injury while practicing motocross in May 2025, landing himself in the E.R. After the incident, he took to Instagram to describe what happened and shared photos of his brutal injury.
"Welp, I ran out of talent 🤦🏻♂️🤣," Hart joked, explaining, "I had a pretty nasty get off, practicing Thursday morning. Landed off a jump, bars knifed, and took the bar to the gut while going over the bars. As I understand it, severed my small intestine from my colon."
Hart said he's doing "fine" and "will recover from this." He also thanked his wife for her support during the ordeal.
"As always does in these situations w/ me, she steps up and takes charge at the hospital. "Sorry to put you through this, yet again 🤣" he wrote.
Who are Pink's ex-boyfriends?Aside from Carey Hart, Pink hasn't dated too much in the public eye. However, she was linked to two other famous men.
Pink went on a few dates with Joey Fatone of NSYNC, recalling that he was a "sweetheart" and took her to Friendly's for ice cream. Fatone later said he ultimately wasn't her type but they remained friends.

Sam's Club Has a New $3 Bakery Find, No 'Whole Cake Commitment' Required
If you've ever stood in front of the impressive cakes at Sam's Club wishing there was a way to try just one slice, your wish may have finally come true.
Sam's Club locations are now offering individual cake slices in the café cooler for $2.98 each, making it easier than ever to enjoy one of the warehouse's bakery favorites on a smaller scale.
In a June 2 TikTok, @samsclublovers spotted the new find, and it's already getting plenty of attention from dessert lovers.
@samsclublovers🍰 Cake by the slice?! You can now grab a single slice of Sam’s Club cake at the cafe in the cooler area, no whole cake commitment needed! Mine had Tuxedo Bar Cake and Confetti Bar Cake options. Perfect for when you just want a little treat! #samsclub #samsclubfinds #cake
♬ original sound - Tristan.ever.charliThe single-slice options include Tuxedo Bar Cake and Confetti Bar Cake, two bakery favorites now available in grab-and-go portions. The slices look generously sized, with layers of cake, frosting, and filling that make them feel more like a bakery treat than a quick snack.
The new offering also gives shoppers more opportunities to enjoy Sam's Club bakery desserts. While the warehouse's full-size cakes are popular for birthdays, graduations, and celebrations, an individual slice fits just as easily into an ordinary shopping trip.
Even better, as part of Sam's Club's "Made Without" commitment, Member's Mark bakery products are made without certified synthetic colors and high-fructose corn syrup. Earlier this year, Sam's Club announced it had reached its goal of removing more than 40 ingredients from its private-brand food and beverage products, including artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, and synthetic dyes.

The idea quickly resonated with shoppers in the comments.
"This is perfect!" one viewer wrote.
"I know what I'm checking out the next time I go!" added another.
A third commenter noted, "That gives customers a chance to try the cake without the purchase of a whole cake."
For many shoppers, that's exactly the appeal. Sometimes you want a slice of cake after dinner, something sweet for a movie night, or a treat to enjoy on the drive home from Sam's Club. Now there's an option that doesn't require planning a party first.
Availability may vary by warehouse, but these $2.98 cake slices are one of the most exciting bakery additions Sam's Club has introduced this year.
1971 Folk Rock Song Was Inspired by a Classic Van Gogh Painting
Don McLean, who is most famous for his hit “American Pie,” released another iconic song 55 years ago. “Vincent,” also known as “Vincent (Starry, Starry Night), was inspired by the famous Vincent van Gogh painting from 1889, The Starry Night.
McLean revealed the origin of the song in a 2022 interview with Forbes. “I read this book about van Gogh and his brother,” he said. “I thought, ‘Since the brother and Vincent had similar illnesses, wouldn’t it be interesting to write that story?’ But how am I going to do it? I mean, one man singing to another about his art and death could be really stupid if you didn’t find a way to make the song beautiful and elegant. I like beautiful things, have a dash of elegance myself. Then it hit me. All I had to do was look at Starry Night. When I did, the painting wrote the song. I don’t do the melody first, then tack the words on. I just sing into a tape recorder, and the song comes right out of me.”
McLean also revealed how long the song took to write. "'Vincent' might have taken a couple of hours of fooling around with it,” he said. “I still have the lyrics written down on this green paper I used to carry with me.”
Those lyrics, scrawled on the green paper, went up for auction for over one million dollars. Gary Zimet, a rare documents dealer, said, “They are written in pencil. There are some corrections. They differ very slightly from the final lyrics, which show he really had the song well thought out in his head when he wrote it.”

When “Vincent” was first released, it topped the UK Singles Chart and rose to No. 2 on the Easy Listening chart in the United States. Billboard also ranked the song one of the 100 best from 1972.
McLean is now 80. He is still touring. When asked why he continues to do so, he said, “It’s what I do. I’m not me unless I do it. To not do it would be much more negative and damaging than if I do do it. The work is life-affirming.”
7 Home Features Buyers Are Quietly Avoiding Right Now, According to Realtors
Design trends come and go, and unfortunately, what might have been a hot feature to home buyers 10 or even two years ago won't necessarily be seen as super appealing now. Real estate professionals are quick to notice what design elements buyers are loving as well as those that they're less than eager to embrace. Here, three experts weigh in to highlight seven home features in particular that they're witnessing buyers quietly avoiding.
1. Open Floor PlansPhoto by Bailey Alexander on Unsplash
Once majorly in vogue, open floor plans are no longer as appealing to today’s buyers, notes Jake Kennedy, an affiliate broker with Compass based in Nashville, Tennessee. “People are looking for homes with separation,” he says. “They want designated spaces for different parts of their daily lives.” Kennedy notes that this desire is especially common among young families where at least one parent works from home full-time. “They want to be able to close a door and focus instead of the entire house acting as one big echoey room,” Kennedy explains.
2. Gray FloorsPhoto by Margo Evardson on Unsplash
The color of flooring in your home can matter more than you might think. “I’ve had multiple buyers groan the second they see gray floors,” Kennedy says. “They definitely had a moment, but buyers are over it.” Essentially, Kennedy elaborates, the look reads as “flip house,” and many buyers are tired of seeing it repeated again and again.
3. Gray WallsSpeaking of the color gray, buyers aren’t loving seeing it on the walls of a room, either. Instead, buyers are more attracted to “warmer, earthy colors such as cream, beige and eggshell white,” shares Sherri Flaherty, broker and owner at Realty ONE Group Platinum in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania. “Today’s buyers prefer spaces that are softer, brighter and more inviting than the all-gray colors of the past.”
4. Wall-to-Wall CarpetingPhoto by Francesca Tosolini on Unsplash
While wall-to-wall carpeting is less common today than it was decades ago, it’s still something that buyers are averse to when touring spaces, explains Diane Gray, a realtor with the Keyes Company in Boynton Beach, Florida. “It can hold onto allergens, pet odors and stains,” she notes. To many, it just signals the need for a project in the near future. Gray says, “For buyers who want a home that feels move-in ready, carpet often comes across as one more thing they’ll need to rip out and replace with hardwood or luxury vinyl plank.”
5. Dark Granite CountertopsPhoto by Kenya Placido on Unsplash
What was all the rage in the kitchens of the 2000s is seen as dated now, Gray shares. Today’s buyers are all about a simpler look. “They’re much more interested in cleaner, lower-maintenance surfaces like quartz, especially with those soft, marble-like veining patterns,” she says.
6. Formal Dining RoomsPhoto by Omar Greene on Unsplash
The days of entertaining around a sizable dining table—at least on a regular basis—may be behind us. “Many residential home buyers today do not want a formal dining room,” Flaherty states. “The trend is moving towards multiple eating options such as eat-in kitchens, breakfast nooks and screened-in areas with space for eating.”

What people want, the realtor adds, is a work-from-home space or bonus room—in fact, she explains, many people will turn an existing dining room into such a space once they’ve moved in.
7. Large Jetted TubsPhoto by Huy Nguyen on Unsplash
The desire for simplicity extends into the bathroom, too, where less is often more, according to Gray. Specifically, the jetted tubs of the past that enchanted buyers aren’t so much of a winning feature anymore. “A lot of buyers see them as taking up too much space, using too much water, and being more trouble than they’re worth to keep clean,” Gray says. “In most cases, they’d much rather have a large, luxurious walk-in shower.”

The 6 Healthiest Snacks To Buy at Dollar Tree Right Now, According to a Dietitian
Finding healthy snacks can feel challenging no matter where you shop. Grocery stores often dedicate entire aisles to chips, cookies, candy and other ultra-processed options, while nutritious choices can be harder to spot among the endless packaging and marketing claims. For shoppers on a budget, the challenge can seem even greater.
Many people assume eating well requires frequent trips to specialty grocery stores or spending significantly more money on healthier products. The reality is that healthy snacks can be found almost anywhere, including discount retailers like Dollar Tree. While the store is known for its low prices and convenient selection, it also carries several nutrient-dense snacks that can support a balanced diet when chosen carefully. The key is knowing what to look for and understanding how to read nutrition labels rather than relying on front-of-package marketing.
To help identify the healthiest snacks at Dollar Tree right now, I spoke with a fellow registered dietitian about what makes a snack nutritious and which products stand out from the crowd. Her advice highlights an important truth—healthy eating isn't about perfection or spending more money. It's about choosing foods that provide meaningful nutrition and help keep you satisfied between meals.
This registered dietitian nutritionist tells Parade that shoppers should focus less on flashy health claims and more on nutrient density. A good snack can help bridge the gap between meals, prevent excessive hunger and contribute important nutrients to your overall diet. Whether you're shopping at a traditional supermarket, a warehouse club or your local Dollar Tree, those principles remain the same.

What Is the Healthiest Snack at Dollar Tree?When asked what nutritional qualities she looks for in a healthy snack, Struik said she prioritizes nutrient density above all else.
"I personally look at what I would consider a good nutrient-dense profile," she tells Parade. "For me, this means fiber content, protein and healthy fats, while limiting sodium and added sugars."
As for the single healthiest snack currently available at Dollar Tree, she points to nuts. "There are so many great options," she says. "I personally love that they carry Wonderful Pistachios. These are nutrient-dense powerhouses carrying polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats to lower LDL cholesterol."
She adds that the nuts provide several important benefits in one package. "They also contain protein and fiber to help keep you feeling fuller for longer periods. One of the goals of snacking is always to help curb your hunger."
Struik notes that many fruit-based snacks can be nutritious, but they may not provide enough staying power on their own.
"Something more fruit-based will likely not have protein or healthy fats. I always like to pair it with another snack that has these to make sure I stay full," she explains. Nut butter is a great snack pairing for fruit because it contains heart-healthy fats with a bit of protein to boot.

3 Tips for Finding Healthy Snacks at Dollar TreeStruik shares her top tricks to shopping the snack aisle at Dollar Tree like a pro.
1. Choose a snack with fiberWhile shopping at Dollar Tree, Struik recommends paying close attention to both nutrition labels and ingredient lists. "I really push fiber intake," she says. "I think that's one area that we could all do better in. Incorporating fiber into your snacks will make sure you hit your daily fiber goals."
Instead of granola bars, she recommends choosing less processed alternatives, explaining, "You are much better off grabbing alternatives here, such as the fruit purees or freeze-dried fruit snacks. Instead of granola bars, look at different nut or seed mixes, or protein bars, as these will keep you fuller than a granola bar with lots of added sugars."

2. Limit snacks with added sugarShe also encourages shoppers to keep an eye on sugar content. "I also like to draw attention to added sugars. They can be hiding in many of our prepackaged snacks, so make sure to look at your nutrition label and ingredient list," she says.
Some products that appear healthy at first glance may not be the best choices nutritionally when you actually take a closer look. "Anything usually labeled a 'fruit snack' or a 'granola bar' tends to always have tons of added sugars," she says. Instead, she recommends choosing alternatives such as fruit purees or freeze-dried fruit snacks.

3. Read nutrition labelsFor shoppers trying to stretch their food budget, careful label reading is especially important. "Don't judge a book by its cover, and don't buy it without reading the nutrition label," she says. "You may find a snack that leads you to believe it's a good choice by branding alone, but without reading the label, it's hard to make that choice."
She says trail mix is one example of a food you should read the nutrition label of before purchasing, sharing, "For example, trail mixes can be a great choice, but without reading the label, you may purchase one that has a very high amount of added sugar."

6 Healthiest Dollar Tree Snacks, According to a DietitianHere, Struik breaks down the six healthiest Dollar Tree snacks she recommends looking for on your next trip.
1. Wonderful Pistachios, Roasted & SaltedStruik's top pick earns high marks for its combination of heart-healthy fats, protein and fiber. These nutrients work together to promote fullness and provide sustained energy between meals.
The Roasted & Salted variety contains 120 calories per 0.75-ounce package and delivers 9 grams of heart-healthy fats, 2 grams of fiber, and 5 grams of protein, with no added sugar.
Priced at just $1.25 per single-serving package, the snack comes in several shelled varieties, including Roasted & Salted, Sea Salt & Pepper, Chili Roasted, Honey Roasted and Sea Salt & Vinegar. You can also choose from shell-on options such as Roasted & Salted and Salt & Pepper.
2. So Natural Freeze Dried FruitsAccording to Struik, these are "a great alternative to fresh fruit" and "are really good dipped in your favorite nut butter." Pairing freeze-dried fruit with nut butter adds protein and healthy fats to create a more balanced snack.
Dollar Tree offers three varieties of freeze-dried fruit, including strawberry, apple and mixed fruit, with each 0.6-ounce vegan and gluten-free package clocking in at only 60 calories with 1 gram of fiber—and endless crunching.
3. Angie's Boom Chicka Pop White Cheddar PopcornPopcorn can be an excellent whole-grain snack choice when prepared with reasonable ingredients. Struik recommends this option because it's "a nice savory snack with good fiber content."
Each 1.5-ounce individual bag has just 240 calories, 3 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein, with that classic cheesy popcorn flavor that hits the right savory notes every single time.
4. SkinnyPop Original PopcornAnother popcorn favorite, SkinnyPop offers a simple ingredient list and satisfying crunch. It provides a fiber-rich snack while remaining relatively light.
This fan-favorite popcorn is made with just popcorn kernels, oil and salt, and it provides 3 grams of fiber with no added sugar per 1-ounce serving.

5. So Natural Strawberry Banana Fruit PureeFruit purees can be a convenient way to enjoy fruit while on the go. Struik calls this "another great alternative to fresh fruit" and notes that it's especially "kid-friendly."
With minimal ingredients and added sugar, this snack comes in at only 45 calories and is an easy way to get kids (and adults) to eat more fruit during busy, hectic days when fresh or frozen fruit just isn't an option.
6. Brunswick Chicken Salad With CrackersFor those craving something savory, this option offers a balance of protein and fats that may help keep hunger at bay longer than carbohydrate-heavy snacks. The buffalo chicken and tuna versions sold at some Dollar Tree locations earn similar praise.
Struik describes both the chicken and tuna salad kits as "another great savory snack option with a good nutrient profile of healthy fats and protein." Each kit offers 8 grams of protein, which isn't always easy to find in a shelf-stable snack.

The Bottom LineHealthy snacking doesn't require a premium grocery budget. As Struik says, nutrient-dense options can be found at stores like Dollar Tree when shoppers know what to look for among the snack aisle. Prioritizing fiber, protein and healthy fats while limiting added sugars can help you build a smarter snack cart without overspending.
Her final message is simple but valuable—read the nutrition label before you buy. A few extra seconds spent checking ingredients and nutrition facts can help you identify the products that truly support your health goals while staying within your budget.

'Eyebrow Mapping' Is the Secret to Great Brows at Any Age, Expert Reveals
If you've ever walked out of a brow appointment feeling like something was slightly off—one side higher than the other, the arch in the wrong place—there's a good chance eyebrow mapping wasn't part of the process.
Eyebrow mapping is a technique that takes the guesswork out of brow shaping, using precise measurements to determine the ideal shape for your specific face before a single hair is removed.
It's not a new concept, but the term itself has been trending in recent months. When it's done correctly, the process accounts for the natural asymmetry we all have—and helps create the visual impression of balance without fighting your face. It can make a significant difference in how symmetrical and polished your face and brows look, whether you're filling them in every morning, or going completely natural.
The technique is also more accessible than most people realize. While a professional will always give you the most precise result, understanding the basics of eyebrow mapping at home can help you stop over-tweezing, maintain your shape between appointments and make smarter decisions about your brows overall.
We asked Amanda Robinson, owner of Iris+West Lash Co and lash and brow artist to celebrities including Mandy Moore, to break it all down.

What Is Eyebrow Mapping?Getty
Eyebrow mapping is a technique used to determine the ideal shape, arch and length of the brow based on your facial structure.
"The process uses precise measurements, typically taken with a mapping string or straight tool, to identify three key anchor points: where the brow should begin, where the arch should peak and where the tail should end," Robinson explains.
"From there, I use those points to outline the brow shape before removing any hair," she continues. "It takes the guesswork out of brow shaping and gives both the client and the artist a clear roadmap before anything is removed."
How Does Eyebrow Mapping Work? A Step-by-Step GuideThe mapping process comes down to three points on the face, and Robinson breaks them down simply:
- Place a pencil vertically from the corner of your nose upward—that's where your brow should begin.
- Angle it diagonally from the dimple of your nose to the outside of your iris—that's where your arch should peak.
- Tilt it from the side of your nostril to the outer corner of your eye—that's where your brow should end.
In a professional setting, a gel pen or mapping string is used to mark those points precisely before any shaping begins.
At home, an angled liner brush dipped in eyeshadow or a brow pencil works fine. "The tools matter less than understanding the methodology behind what you're measuring and why," Robinson says.

Robinson actually recommends it!
"I encourage clients to understand the basics so they're not over-tweezing or altering their shape between appointments," she says.
That being said, she draws a clear distinction between mapping as a reference guide and mapping as a precision tool, explaining, "In a professional setting, we're accounting for bone structure and asymmetries that are easy to miss on yourself. For any major shaping decisions, especially if you're considering removing hair, I'd always recommend having a professional do it."

"I'd caution against treating it as a rigid formula," Robinson says. "I really suggest following your natural brow shape as much as possible, especially if you're tweezing at home."
She looks at is the full picture: eye spacing, the natural direction of hair growth and where a client already has density, explaining, "The best brow shape isn't about matching a face shape chart—it's about working with what's already there."
How Eyebrow Mapping Helps With Brow SymmetryOne of the biggest benefits of mapping is what it does for symmetry—or rather, the appearance of it. "Mapping gives you objective reference points rather than relying on your eye alone which, when you're working on your own face in a mirror, is almost always going to deceive you," Robinson says.
By measuring both sides from the same fixed points on the face, you can identify where natural asymmetry exists and make intentional choices about how to address it.
As Robinson explains, "The goal isn't to erase asymmetry entirely—it's to create the visual impression of balance."
If you haven't already heard the saying, many in the beauty industry repeat the mantra, "Brows are sisters, not twins."
"There will always be some natural variation, and trying to force a perfect mirror image can make them look more uneven," she continues. "I think about balance over symmetry."
The Most Common Eyebrow Mapping MistakesRobinson sees the same mistakes come up again and again. The first is starting the brows too far apart, and she reiterates to start the brow directly above the outer corner of the nose.
The second is chasing symmetry too aggressively, and the third—one that has real long-term consequences—is over-tweezing the tail.
"Once that length is gone, it takes a long time to come back and a short tail can make the eye look smaller," she warns.

How Much Does Eyebrow Mapping Cost?Eyebrow mapping is generally included as part of a brow service rather than offered as a standalone appointment.
"If you're booking a wax, thread or tint, a good brow artist should be mapping as part of that," Robinson says.
Overall, brow services can range from $30 to $100 or more depending on the service type, the provider's experience level and your market.
"If you're seeing someone who specializes in brows, expect to pay more—and in most cases, it's worth it," she says. "You're paying for the eye and the method, not just the hair removal."

What Is the 'Un-Brow' Trend—and Is It Here To Stay?Robinson is seeing a noticeable shift in what clients are asking for. "Clients who got very flat lamination a couple of years ago are coming in now asking for something that looks like it could actually grow that way," she says.
The fluffy, brushed-up look isn't going anywhere, but things are trending toward something softer and more natural.
"What I'm doing more of now is using a lighter processing time, or only processing certain sections of the brow in a more customized way," she explains. "It gives that feathered, lived-in look while still holding shape throughout the day."

Police Finally Close Hulk Hogan Death Case: What the Report Found
Nearly a year of unanswered questions about Hulk Hogan's death now have an official answer, and it is what the first reports suggested all along.
The Clearwater, Florida Police Department announced Friday that it has completed its investigation into the WWE legend's death, determining that Hogan died of an attended natural death. A 72-page investigative report confirmed there was no evidence of foul play or criminal wrongdoing.
Officers arrived at Hogan's Clearwater residence at 10:21 a.m. on July 24, 2025, following a call about a possible medical emergency. CPR was performed before the wrestling icon was taken to Morton Plant Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11:17 a.m. The cause of death was determined to be an acute myocardial infarction. The WWE legend also had a history of lymphocytic leukemia and atrial fibrillation.
'Following an exhaustive review of the statements, medical records, surveillance footage from within the residence, and a visual inspection of Mr. Bollea's body, there has been no evidence to indicate the death of Terry Bollea was anything other than natural,' investigators wrote. 'Through the course of the investigation, there has been no evidence to indicate any criminal wrongdoing related to his death.'
The investigation had been complicated from the start by claims made at the scene. According to the 72-page report, Hogan's occupational therapist, Justin McCamey, told police that Hogan was in very poor health following recent surgeries. His wife, Sky Daily, said he had undergone neck spinal fusion surgery about six weeks before his death, heart valve surgery three weeks earlier, and was also receiving chemotherapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. McCamey also alleged at the scene that a surgeon had damaged Hogan's phrenic nerve during a recent procedure, a claim that sparked immediate speculation about medical malpractice. In a follow-up police interview, McCamey walked back his own assertion, saying he was 'not a neurosurgeon' and had only worked with Hogan for two weeks before his death.
Daughter Brooke Hogan had been one of the most vocal voices pushing for answers. On a an appearance on the Bubba the Love Sponge Show, she raised questions about a nurse who was present at the home on the day her father died and has since been unreachable, and questioned why a private doctor, rather than the ER physician on duty, signed the death certificate. An attorney accompanying her described the circumstances as highly unusual based on his three decades of medical malpractice experience. The family had also filed a petition in October 2025 to extend the statute of limitations for a malpractice investigation.

Clearwater police thanked Hogan's family and their attorney, Kevin Hayslett, for their cooperation throughout the investigation. 'Their willingness to allow our investigators access to very personal information, at a time when they were grieving and struggling, was extremely helpful,' the department said.
Hogan, whose real name was Terry Gene Bollea, was 71 at the time of his death. He had openly discussed his physical toll, having acknowledged undergoing roughly 25 surgeries in the previous decade, including hip and knee replacements and around 10 procedures on his back. He is survived by wife Sky Daily, children Brooke and Nick, and two grandchildren.

1979 Chart-Topper Became a Survival Anthem for Two Yacht Rock Legends
When two future yacht rock legends teamed up to write a song in 1979, they couldn't have known how its message would resonate. Decades later, their track remains a powerful reminder of perseverance during difficult personal battles.
A chart-topping collaboration between Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins became a song that held a deeply personal meaning. The song came to embody the resilience and determination of a loved one facing what seemed an insurmountable struggle.
"This Is It" started as a love song. However, no matter how they tried, McDonald and Loggins couldn't get the lyrics to work as a romantic tune.
Loggins told American Songwriter, “The best musical statements are usually the ones that aren’t calculated and the ones that come out in the largest chunks. Michael McDonald and I must have written ‘This Is It’ four times."

He continued, "The first three times it was a love song, ‘Baby I this, baby I that…,’ and we both said, ‘Eh! This is boring. This song is not working as a love song.’”
Simultaneously, as Loggins worked with McDonald on the tune, he watched his father struggle as he faced cardiovascular surgery. After fighting through almost a dozen prior surgeries for other health issues, Loggins said his father had “finally made up his mind he was going to die on the operating table.”
While listening to his father speak negatively of his health, Loggins told him, “You’ve got some say over how this goes, ya know?” This is it, Dad. Make a choice!” He later met McDonald to continue their songwriting session.
Loggins admitted it was then he realized that "This Is It" was not “a love song. It’s a life song.” He said once that the switch was made, the remainder of the words “literally came flooding out.”
Per Songfacts, Loggins' father lived four more years after that medical emergency. He would go on to see the song he inspired win a Grammy in 1981 for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. "This Is It" was released in October 1979 and peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 by February 1980.
Michael McDonald co-wrote, sang backup, and played keyboards on the track. The two also collaborated on the Grammy-winning No. 1 hit "What a Fool Believes" and "I Gotta Try" for McDonald's 1982 solo album.

"Defying Gravity" from Wicked (2004)Stephen Schwartz’s Wicked, inspired by Gregory Maguire’s novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, arrived on Broadway in 2004 as a bold reimagining of the world behind The Wizard of Oz. Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth's performances as Elphaba and Glinda anchored the show’s soaring Act I finale "Defying Gravity" with explosive energy and emotion, creating one of the most unforgettable moments in Tony Awards history.
"Mama Who Bore Me" from Spring Awakening (2007)The musical Spring Awakening would take home eight Tony Awards in 2007. It introduced Broadway audiences to the talents of Lea Michele (Wendla Bergmann), Jonathan Groff (Melchior Gabor), and John Gallagher Jr. (Moritz Stiefel). The company's performance of a medley of the musical's greatest hits had an urgency unlike anything else on Broadway. The show's intensity produced a charged musical moment that stuck with audiences and a raw, urgent energy that made the performance feel completely alive.
"96,000" In the Heights (2008)The 2008 unforgettable Tony Award musical number "96,000" from In The Heights was led by Lin-Manuel Miranda (Usnavi), along with Christopher Jackson (Benny), Robin de Jesús (Sonny), Karen Olivo (Vanessa), Andrea Burns (Daniela), and Janet Dacal (Carla). The song mixed salsa, hip-hop, and classic Broadway style as the cast daydreamed about what they’d do if their corner bodega sold a winning $96,000 lottery ticket.
Jackson and Miranda would go on to create magic once again with Hamilton, who stole the Tony Awards show in 2016 with a performance of the songs "History Has Its Eyes on You” and “Yorktown.”
"And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" Dreamgirls 1982Jennifer Holliday's performance as Effie White of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" is widely considered the most electrifying vocal performance in Tony Awards history. The result was an unforgettable, standing-ovation-inducing moment. Holliday’s delivery builds with such force that it feels like viewers were watching her character's emotional breakdown set to music. By the time she reached the song’s final refrain, the moment cemented its place in Tony Awards history.
“I Hope I Get It”: Chorus Line (1976)
In 1976, A Chorus Line was the hottest ticket on the Great White Way. The Michael Bennett musical told the story of a group of Broadway dancers auditioning for a single chorus line. Each performer revealed their personal struggles, ambitions, and sacrifices along the way. As the audition unfolds, their stories gradually blur the line between performance and reality, turning the stage into a deeply human portrait of life in the theater.
The 79th Annual Tony Awards, will deliver a special tribute to A Chorus Line, which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, as well as a performance of "Without You" from RENT by Leslie Odom, Jr. Additionally, there will be performances from The Lost Boys, Schmigadoon!, Titaníque, Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), CATS: The Jellicle Ball, Ragtime and The Rocky Horror Show.
The entire original cast of The Book of Mormon, including Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells, will celebrate the show’s 15th anniversary on Broadway. The 30th anniversary of Chicago will be celebrated in a tribute performance featuring Queen Latifah, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Alex Newell, Adrienne Warren, Cedric the Entertainer, Julianne Hough,Whitney Leavitt, and Dylan Mulvaney.

In the 1960s, Barry Livingston was a child actor on My Three Sons. The young star played Ernie Douglas on the beloved classic TV comedy series from 1962 to 1973.
In a recent interview with Woman’s World, Livingston, now 72, recalled working with William Frawley, the curmudgeonly actor best known as Fred Mertz on I Love Lucy. Frawley played “Bub" O'Casey on My Three Sons from 1960 to 1965, but he had some leftover beef with his I Love Lucy co-star Vivian Vance (Ethel Mertz)—and that’s where Livingston came in.
My Three Sons was shot on the same studio lot as Vance and Lucille Ball’s post-I Love Lucy series, The Lucy Show, and Frawley convinced Livingston and his brother Stanley to help him cause chaos to spite Vance.
“We would collect these big metal cylindrical film canisters back in the day,” Livingston recalled to the magazine. “Bill would get Stan and I to be co-criminals with him. We’d hear Vivian’s voice coming from the stage next door and he’d go, ‘Okay, it’s time,’ and we’d Frisbee these big old metal film cans in there and you’d hear, ‘Bang! Boom! Bang! Bang! Bang!’ And then you’d hear, ‘Cut!’ And Bill would go, ‘Let’s get the hell out of here. Come on!’ So yeah, we were little criminals in his organized crime.”

Frawley’s feud with Vance was well known during their I Love Lucy days in the 1950s. While they played nicely on camera, behind the scenes, Vance was put off by the fact that Frawley, 22 years her senior, was cast to play her husband.
“It really bothered her,” Gregg Oppenheimer, the son of the late producer and screenwriter Jess Oppenheimer, told The Television Academy. “She told people, ‘How will anyone believe I’m married to that old man?’”
Oppenheimer added that Frawley overheard her complaints and “was insulted.”
Once he moved on to My Three Sons, Frawley’s co-stars were aware of his lingering animosity toward Vance as she who worked next door on The Lucy Show.
My Three Sons alum Tim Considine (Mike Douglas on the series) told Page Sixthat Frawley once referred to Vance as a “miserable c–t” when asked what she was like.
As for Livingston, his prank with Frawley never got him into trouble with Ball. The actor recalled that the comedy legend liked him and hired him for a small role on her show. “I kept getting requests to come and play Gail Gordon’s son, Arnold Mooney,” Livingston told Woman’s World. “So she kept writing me into episodes.”

1973 Blues-Rock Classic, Covered by Legends, Became a Driving Anthem
An empty highway calls for the perfect slow-burning groove. Which is exactly what you get with ZZ Top’s “Jesus Just Left Chicago.” A Southern staple ideal for late-night cruising, open-road unwinding, and just blasting classic rock radio in general, the bluesy essential has become one of rock’s ultimate driving anthems since its release more than 40 years ago.
Often paired with its preceding track, “Waitin’ for the Bus,” the song is the second cut from the trio’s landmark album, Tres Hombres. It’s frequently found on classic rock or road-trip playlists, celebrated for its hypnotic, laid-back energy. It’s also been covered by a number of artists across genres including Phish, Blackberry Smoke, and Hank Williams Jr.
At first glance, lyrics like “Jesus just left Chicago / And he's bound for New Orleans … Took a jump through Mississippi / Well, muddy water turned to wine” might suggest a striking spiritual narrative. As if the guys are withholding some fascinating origin story about seeing the lord walking among us commoners. But really, the song’s origin is far more down to earth.
“There was a buddy of mine when we were teenagers … he had all these colloquialisms,” Billy Gibbons shared with Rolling Stone in 2015. “He blurted out ‘Jesus just left Chicago’ during a phone conversation and it just stuck.”
The group built the song around that spontaneous phrase, shaping its composition into a more atmospheric blues piece that stretches beyond the standard blues structure and into a swampy groove rooted in Southern storytelling traditions. The result feels like a wandering, road-bound parable your grams in Texas would share on the porch over some sweet tea, doesn’t it? It should. All three members of the band hail from the Lone Star State.
Composed of lead vocalist and guitarist Billy Gibbons, drummer Frank Beard, and bassist and backing vocalist Dusty Hill, ZZ Top was officially formed in 1969 down south, where they honed their sound. Their foundational blues-rock classic, released in the summer of 1973, helped define the band’s breakthrough era, as their album climbed to No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and bolstered their rock reputation.
Now, more than four decades later, “Jesus Just Left Chicago” remains a quintessential highway anthem and Southern staple — part blues sermon, part road-trip must, and entirely built for the long haul. Play it on repeat.
