Whoa! The former Blossom star is finally a boy dad. Actor Joey Lawrence welcomed a new family member over the Easter weekend, and the famous father is over the moon.

How many children does Joey Lawrence have?

Lawrence is now a parent to four children. He shares his first two daughters, Charleston “Charli” Lawrence (age 19) and Liberty “Libby” Grace Lawrence (age 16), with ex-wife Chandie Yawn-Nelson, and his last two kiddos (three-year-old daughter Dylan Rose and newborn son) with current wife Samantha Cope.

While Lawrence and Cope briefly separated after Samantha filed for the divorce, the pair reconciled months later. And with the birth of their second child together, it looks like their romance is definitely back on track.

What is Joey Lawrence’s new baby’s name?

The Melissa & Joey actor revealed his newborn’s name in a recent Instagram post—Ford Jospeph Lawrence. He captioned the carousel, “Our newest member has arrived. What an absolute blessing you are baby boy! It will be an Easter Weekend to remember forever. 4.6.26.”

Along with details on the newborn’s name and his birthdate, Lawrence added sweet snapshots from the little guy’s first few days. The proud boy-dad started the post with a family portrait of himself, Cope, and Ford. He also included a heartfelt black-and-white image of Samantha immediately after giving birth to Ford. And yes, it appears she had a home water birth (based on the image).

Friends and a few notable celeb parents sent the family well-wishes on Instagram. Former Full House star Candace Cameron Burecommented, “Congratulations!” as did WWE’s Brie Garcia. Likewise, fans took to Instagram, sending their congrats to the couple on their kiddo with comments such as, “Congratulations on the birth of your new son, Ford. He’s so adorable. Looks just like Joey…I’m sure all the girls can’t wait to spoil him.” And with three big sisters, this is probably very true.

When did Joey Lawrence announce the pregnancy?

Lawrence first publicly shared the couple’s baby news on the Dancing With the Stars red carpet, pointing at his wife’s belly bump and telling Entertainment Tonight, “This is not planned. The pair later posted precious pics featuring Samantha’s growing belly and daughter Dylan Rose with the caption, “Can’t wait to meet you baby boy.” Of course, some fans had plenty to say about the actor finally having a son, “Can the world handle another Joey Lawrence!!! Guess we’re about to find out!”

If your retirement dreams include hitting the road, boarding a plane, or even sailing off into the sunset, you may be curious about whether a travel credit card is right for you. However, as you already know, a lot of things are different once you retire. So, those travel credit card offers you see all over the place may no longer be as good a fit now that you're entering the next chapter of your life.

Fortunately, a team of financial experts got together, reviewed a bunch of cards for NerdWallet, and compiled a list of the best travel credit cards for seniors. Of course, one cart in particular came out on top, making it the best pick for those who are looking to see the world in their golden years. Here's which one made the cut.

The Capital One Venture Rewards Card is the Best Travel Card for Seniors

The financial gurus at NerdWallet named the Capital One Venture Rewards Cardtheir number one pick for seniors due to how easy it is to use. In fact, the publication says that the simplicity of the card is what makes it such a great pick, not just because you'll have no trouble redeeming all the exciting perks that come along with the card, but also because the points and bonuses are easy to accrue.

Some of those perks include:

• $250 bonus in your first year
• 75,000 bonus miles after you spend $4,000 on qualifying purchases in the first three months
• A low annual fee of $95

According to NerdWallet, you can earn double miles with this card, making it great for travelers on a fixed income looking to save every penny they can. Plus, you don't have to keep track of what you're earning or which categories you're spending in, which makes it easier to take advantage of the offers.

There is a Downside to the Travel Card

While the card may be the best one NerdWallet found for seniors, that doesn't mean there aren't downsides to be aware of. First of all, while the annual fee is low, it's still an added expense you'll have to budget for year after year. For retirees on a fixed income, that could become problematic if you're not anticipating it.

Secondly, the APR is 19.49-28.49 percent. While that's pretty standard for many cards these days, it does mean that you'll be accruing interest on those purchases that you don't pay off right away, which means everything you charge to your travel card will cost you a little bit more than if you had paid in full up front.

That said, all credit cards have pros and cons, and, as far as NerdWallet is concerned, the pros outweigh the cons for this travel credit card for seniors.

Nicole Kidman continues to stun in her post-divorce era.

The actress, who was in New York on Wednesday at the premiere of the Apple TV series, Margo's Got Money Troubles, took to Instagram showing off her look for the night: a body-hugging Schiaparelli dress with a contrasting black and white color scheme, and scale-like texture.

And fans couldn't get enough.

"Forever smokin'," one wrote.

"Damn @nicolekidman you are melting hearts and screens… you are gorgeous," another said.

"This post-divorce Kidman is soooo good," a third said, referencing her 2025 split from ex-husband Keith Urban. They finalized their divorce in January.

"Every time I see Nicole, I forget where I'm at for a second because I'm distracted by how beautiful she is," gushed another.

Comedian Chelsea Handler also chimed in and cheekily said, "Someone is having a good time."

Margo's Got Money Troubles, which debuts on Apple TV on April 15, also stars Elle Fanningand Michelle Pfieffer.

Following the news of her divorce Kidman has kept busy work numerous projects including TV series Scarpetta which premiered in March on Amazon Prime.

Kidman, who hasn't blatantly spoke about her separation from the country singer during press for both shows, broke her silence in an interview with Variety last month.

“I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good. What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward,” she said. “That’s that. Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect.”

At the same though, Kidman sparked dating rumors with Scarpetta co-star Simon Baker, who plays her husband in the series. The two have been longtime friends however after the actors were spotted holding hands at a premiere party for the show, it's been speculated that the two are an item.

As for Urban's thoughts on her apparent new fling, a source told Australian site Woman's Day that, "he’s in total shock that she would flaunt a new relationship so soon after their divorce."

Lisa Vanderpump is inviting fans into her world in a whole new way. This time, it’s happening in the kitchen.

The reality star and restaurateur just announced her brand-new cookbook, Home at Villa Rosa, revealing on Instagram that the book will officially be released on October 13 and is now available for preorder.

"This has been a labor of love and an invitation for you all to join me in my family home," she shared, giving fans a glimpse of what they can expect from the project.

If you’ve ever watched Vanderpump, 65, on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills or Vanderpump Rules, you already know she doesn’t do anything halfway.

According to her announcement, Home at Villa Rosa will feature a mix of her favorite recipes, along with entertaining tips and ideas for hosting everything from intimate dinners to full-on holiday gatherings. It’s also set to include a more personal touch, offering readers a peek inside her home life and signature style at Villa Rosa.

For longtime fans, that’s part of the appeal. Vanderpump has built a brand around elevated living. Think beautifully set tables, over-the-top parties, and a love of all things luxurious. A cookbook feels like a natural extension of that world.

While full details about the recipes haven’t been revealed just yet, it’s safe to expect dishes that lean into her signature mix of elegance and approachability, with plenty of inspiration for anyone looking to level up their own hosting game.

The book is available for preorder now, with Vanderpump encouraging fans to check the link in her bio for more details.

And if her track record is any indication, this isn’t just a cookbook. It’s likely to be as much about the experience as it is about the food. Because at Villa Rosa, it’s never just dinner.

You can't really think about relocating for retirement without thinking of the American South. And while Florida has long been a favorite spot for retirees looking to flee the colder weather up north in favor of warmer weather and sunshine, plenty of other states have become hot spots for retirees (I'm looking at you, Arizona).

Now, a new WalletHub report reviewed 182 cities, ranking them on factors like affordability, access to senior-friendly activities, and quality of life. And while it's no shock that Orlando ended up in the top spot, it was surprising to see which three Southern cities ranked the lowest. Here's what the report found.

🎬 SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬

Fort Smith, Arkansas Ranked 165 on the List

Arkansas has a lot going for it when it comes to retirement, including no tax on Social Security earnings. Not only that, but retirees can also deduct some of their other retirement earnings from their income when it comes time to file taxes, making the state a good choice for many.

However, Fort Smith ranked lower on the list of locations, thanks to factors such as access to health care (ranked 175th), access to senior-friendly activities (ranked 155th), and overall quality of life (ranked 149th).

Of course, that's not to say the city is all bad. Remember those tax perks for seniors? It's likely they contributed to the city ranking 49th on the affordability list.

Greensboro, North Carolina Ranked 160th on the List

North Carolina is a great spot for retirees who want the best of both worlds in retirement and would like to experience milder winters without giving up the changing seasons. However, Greensboro didn't rank very high on North Carolina's list of best retirement cities. In fact, it came in near the bottom of the list for overall quality of life, ranking 180th.

Similarly, the city came in at 133rd place for both access to healthcare and senior-friendly activities, which means those who decide to spend their golden years here may need to travel a distance to see their doctor and hang out with their friends. That being said, it may be worth the tradeoff since WalletHub ranked the city 51st when it came to affordability, which means you'll likely be able to splurge a bit on gas to get you out of town when you need to access those things.

Baltimore, Maryland Ranked 159th on the List

Those who prioritize filling their free time in retirement would do well in Baltimore, according to this list, which ranked it 57th for access to senior-friendly activities. That's likely because Baltimore is a pretty urban location, which makes it walkable, easy to reach by public transportation, and likely to have more of your fellow retirees to hang out with.

However, that's where the perks seem to end with this spot, since it ranked 134th in affordability, 112th in healthcare, and 176th in overall quality of life.

Of course, it's worth noting that WalletHub's metrics for what makes a good retirement location may not align with your personal preferences. So, it's important to consider exactly what you're looking for in your next hometown before you make a move, so you can ensure you end up somewhere you can easily fall in love with in retirement.

Though Ozempic received FDA approval in 2007, awareness and popularity of GLP-1s started surging in 2022. These days, weight loss drugs are more accessible. As more people begin to use them (and experience significant weight loss), the discussion around GLP-1 side effects has also heated up. Amid the chatter, weight loss specialists urge people to get the facts from reputable sources, which, let's be real, usually isn't TikTok.

"Misinformation spreads quickly, especially on social media and commonly causes unnecessary fear," says Dr. Richele Corrado, DO, an internal & obesity medicine physician at Revolution Medicine, Health & Fitness. "All medications have risks and benefits, and it is important to discuss those with a trusted clinician. Inaccurate information can prevent people from getting treatments that may significantly improve their health and quality of life."

Some GLP-1 side effects are well known—namely, gastrointestinal issues.

"While the most common side effects are gastrointestinal—such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea—serious complications like pancreatitis and vision loss are much less frequent," says Dr. Mir Ali, MD, a bariatric surgeon and medical director of MemorialCare Surgical Weight Loss Center at Orange Coast Medical Center. "To minimize risks, medications are started at a low dose and increased gradually."

GLP-1s are considered safe and effective for people who have diabetes or are obese or overweight with another specific condition. Patients can lose an average of 15% of their body weight when taking once-weekly 2.4 mg doses of semaglutide.

"When prescribed and appropriately monitored, GLP-1 receptor agonists are generally considered safe and represent a transformative class of medications for the management of obesity and type 2 diabetes," says Dr. Peter Balazs, MD, FACOG, of Hormone and Weight Loss Doctors of NYC.

Still, understanding potential and less-discussed GLP-1 side effects can help you prepare physically and mentally. So, we asked physicians specializing in weight loss to discuss the strange GLP-1 side effect plaguing people months after starting. It's a hairy situation, but they offered some hopeful tips for managing the side effect if you experience it.

The Strange GLP-1 Side Effect Plaguing Patients Months After Starting A woman holds a wooden comb in her hands, cleans it of fallen hair after combing.

People are reporting hair loss months after starting GLP-1s like Ozempic and Wegovy, and doctors say it's a possible side effect. "Non-scarring hair loss is common with weight loss, whether you’re taking a GLP-1 receptor agonist or another obesity medication," Dr. Corrado explains.

She shares that the most likely explanation for this GLP-1 side effect is telogen effluvium, a condition that occurs when the body perceives rapid weight loss as a form of stress. As a result, the hair enters the telogen (shedding) phase.

"This typically begins about 2 to 4 months after weight loss starts and can lead to noticeable, diffuse shedding," Dr. Corrado reports.

Nutrition can play a critical role in hair loss (or maintenance). "Because these medications reduce appetite, some people may not get enough protein, iron or key vitamins needed for healthy hair growth," she explains.

However, Dr. Corrado points out that the process is temporary (good news!). "Once weight stabilizes and nutrition improves, hair regrowth usually begins, with most people recovering over about 6 to 9 months," she says.

Dr. Balazs notes that hair loss can occur while taking a GLP-1, but it's not inevitable. Some people won't have this side effect. Some research suggests that more rapid weight loss is more likely to trigger telogen effluvium (whether you're on a GLP-1 or not). Working closely with your care team can help you notice whether you're losing weight a bit too quickly.

"If the patient is consistently losing more than 2 pounds per week, I often discuss pausing the next dose escalation or, in some cases, temporarily reducing the dose to allow nutritional repletion to match metabolic demand," he says.

What To Do if You Experience Hair Loss on GLP-1s

Experiencing hair loss at any time, especially while taking a new medication, can feel jarring. But you can take steps to stop the shed.

• Aim for gradual weight loss. You may go on semaglutide for weight-loss benefits, but slow and steady progress may help ward off shedding. Dr. Corrado generally aims for 0.5 to 1 pound of weight loss weekly to avoid placing additional stress on the body. "When weight loss happens too quickly, I also become concerned that patients may not be eating enough or getting adequate nutrition," she adds.
• Reassure yourself. Dr. Corrado says this step is important. "This is usually temporary and related to weight loss, not the medication itself," she states. "Stressing more about the hair loss is potentially going to make things worse."
• Optimize nutrition. Your appetite is reduced, but eating nourishing meals and snacks remains important on GLP-1s. "Make sure you’re getting enough protein and key nutrients like iron, vitamin D, B12 and zinc, since reduced appetite can lead to deficiencies that contribute to hair shedding," Dr. Corrado says.
• Go easy on your hair. Your hair may need a gentle touch right now. "Gentle hair care and even working with a hairstylist can help manage the appearance of thinning while the hair cycle recovers," she says.
• Topical intervention: "Patients may use 5% topical minoxidil once daily to accelerate the anagen re-entry phase," Dr. Balazs says.
• Seek professional help. Dr. Corrado suggests talking to your care team if your hair loss is significant or persistent. Your doctor or dermatologist can check for nutrient deficiencies, thyroid issues or other concerns.

Dr. Balazs says it's possible to stop hair shedding by going off GLP-1. But Dr. Ali says you'll need to consider the risks of weight regain.

"However, GLP-1s will need to be used long-term for most patients, as obesity is a chronic disease and requires long-term treatment," he says.

A major U.S. airline is facing scrutiny after federal regulators proposed a hefty fine tied to a serious safety concern: allowing crew members who had tested positive for drugs or alcohol to return to duty without completing required safeguards. The incident has sparked renewed conversation about airline safety protocols and what passengers should know before boarding their next flight.

The Accusation and FAA Penalty

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a $255,000 civil penalty against American Airlines, alleging violations of strict drug and alcohol testing regulations. According to the agency, between 2019 and 2023, the airline allowed 12 flight attendants who had previously tested positive for substances, including alcohol, cocaine, amphetamines, and marijuana, to return to safety-sensitive duties without completing mandatory follow-up testing. 

Under federal rules, airline employees in safety-critical roles, like pilots and flight attendants, must undergo random testing and, if they test positive, complete a structured return-to-duty process. This typically includes evaluation, treatment, and follow-up testing to ensure they are fit to perform their responsibilities safely. 

The FAA alleges that these required steps were not fully followed in multiple cases, leading crew members to resume duties before regulators could verify their sobriety. The airline has responded by stating it is reviewing the allegations and emphasizing that safety remains its top priority. 

It’s important to note that this is a proposed penalty, not a final ruling. Airlines have the opportunity to respond, contest, or settle such enforcement actions. Still, the situation highlights how seriously regulators treat compliance in an industry where safety margins are non-negotiable.

Why This Matters for Passengers

While incidents like this are rare, they understandably raise concerns. Aviation remains one of the most highly regulated industries in the world, and strict protocols are designed specifically to prevent impaired individuals from performing safety-sensitive tasks.

The FAA requires ongoing random testing of airline staff, and violations can lead to fines, suspensions, or even loss of certification. In most cases, these systems work effectively, catching issues early and ensuring corrective action is taken.

However, when procedures aren’t followed correctly, even administrative lapses can undermine public trust. That’s why enforcement actions like this are made public: they serve as both accountability and deterrence.

What to Do If You Suspect a Crew Member Is Impaired

For travelers, the idea of an impaired flight attendant or crew member can be unsettling, but there are clear steps you can take if something feels off.

• First, trust your instincts. Signs of impairment might include slurred speech, unsteady movement, confusion, or unusual behavior that seems inconsistent with professional conduct. Keep in mind, though, that fatigue or stress can sometimes mimic these signs, especially during long travel days.
• If you do have concerns, notify another crew member immediately. Flight attendants are trained to handle safety issues, including reporting concerns about colleagues. You can also discreetly inform the gate agent before boarding or request to speak with a supervisor.
• Avoid confrontation. It’s not a passenger’s role to directly accuse or challenge a crew member. Raising concerns through proper channels ensures the situation is handled safely and appropriately.
• In more serious situations, especially if a flight hasn’t yet departed, you can ask to speak with the captain or request to deplane. Airlines take passenger safety reports seriously, and it’s better to raise a concern than stay silent.

The Bigger Picture

This incident involving American Airlines is a reminder that aviation safety depends not just on rules, but on strict adherence to them. While the system is designed with multiple layers of protection, compliance gaps can still occur, and when they do, regulators step in.

At the end of the day, flying remains extraordinarily safe. But stories like this highlight an important truth: maintaining that safety requires constant vigilance, from airlines, regulators, and yes, even passengers.

Ever since Rihanna and partner A$AP Rocky touched down in Paris this week, the singer and cosmetics mogul has been seen in some fun and fashionable looks, such as a yellow-and-red "Dior by Bram Stoker" Dracula saddlebag, and a few days later, a Dracula tote bag.

But it was daughter Rocki Irish, born Sept. 13, 2025, who stole the spotlight in her own head-to-toe Dior outfit.

Page Six shared photos of RiRi cradling Rocki, who was calmly nuzzled up against her mom's shoulder, while they were out in Paris.

See the photo here.

The adorable baby was wearing jeans, a grey-and-white pleated dress, and the cutest vintage bonnet ever.

Along with tassels with pom poms, pom poms lined the top of the hat, creating a mohawk effect.

Clearly, the Fenty Beauty creator and rapper are happily bestowing their kids with their own love of Dior. When Rihanna appeared at the Smurfs red carpet premiere in July 2025, her sons RZA, 2, and Riot, 1, were dressed in custom Dior. Both wore tiny versions of outfits seen at Jonathan Anderson's first Dior menswear show in June 2025. RZA wore a light pink shirt and army green cargo pants, along with a slightly darker pink tie. Riot wore an army green tweed blazer and voluminous white pants.

While Rihanna opted to wear a black satin-and-lace Saint Laurent gown instead of a Dior one, she wore a green bow tied around her waist to match her sons'. She accessorized with a black leather jacket and sunglasses.

Several stars have been seen in Paris this week, including Beyoncé and Jay Z, as well as Pharrell. Beyoncé is co-chair of this year's Met Gala, so it's possible that she's in town to prepare her look. It's unknown why Rihanna, Rocky, and their kids are there, but they've been spotted everywhere except Los Angeles since their home was shot up on March 8. While none of the family was hurt, the police confirmed to the Los Angeles Times that one of the bullets penetrated the walls of the mansion.

Little House on the Prairie star Linwood Boomer—who played Mary Ingalls' (Melissa Sue Anderson) husband, Adam Kendall—just sent a bold message about the upcoming Netflix reboot series.

During an interview with Collider published on April 6, Boomer, 70, shared his thoughts on the reimagining of the historical drama series that originally aired from 1974 to 1983.

🎬 SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬

"I'm all for it," he declared. Boomer also pointed out that the reboot will more accurately reflect the tone of the book series written by Laura Ingalls Wilder and edited by her daughter, Rose Wilder.

"I know the world of it is completely different. It's much closer to the books," he explained. "Michael Landon just had that thing of that family and then just ran with it. It was a great thing for what it was, but it wasn't what the books were, which was a little bit grimmer of a life."

Landon wrote, directed, and produced the original Little House on the Prairie in addition to starring as Charles "Pa" Ingalls.

Boomer continued, "To me, I think it's much more appropriate now because I think people understand that vocabulary, that things can sort of be grim and really tough, and you can still have that loving family in that situation, and it still works."

Boomer's thoughts on the Little House on the Prairie reboot series were a bit different from what Michael Landon's son said about it.

“I wouldn’t touch that series myself,” Michael Landon Jr. admitted in July 2025. “Personally, I wish them the best of luck because it’s family entertainment, and it potentially could be great storytelling. But I personally loved what my father did. I know Leslie does too, and, yeah, I wouldn’t touch perfection.”

Michael Sr.'s other son, Christopher Landon, echoed these sentiments.

“I’m not one of those people who is slavishly protective of one version of something. But it’s a high bar,” Christopher told The Minnesota Star Tribune in April 2025. “My dad did it really, really well. These things are lightning in a bottle. It’s hard to recapture, but I’m rooting for them.”

The Little House on the Prairie reboot is set to premiere on Netflix on July 9. It stars Alice Halsey as Laura, Skywalker Hughes as Mary, Luke Bracey as Charles, and Crosby Fitzgerald as Caroline Ingalls, among others. Ahead of the premiere, the reboot was already renewed for Season 2.

"The list is longer than anyone can imagine. It involves the entire U.S. intelligence community. FBI, CIA, Justice. It’s incredible. The cover-up had little to do with Watergate. It was mainly to protect the covert operations. It leads everywhere. Get out your notebook. There’s more."

This is just one of the many iconic moments from All the President's Men, the Oscar-winning political thriller based on the nonfiction book by journalists Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward. Decades later, critics, fans and politicians are still talking about it.

In fact, it was on this day in 1976 that perhaps the most successful movie about the Watergate scandal was brought to theaters. The Wire callsAll the President's Men "one of the finest films about investigative journalism ever made," arguing that its themes are as relevant now as they were on first release.

The American Film Institute also paid tribute to the movie's 50-year milestone on Thursday, April 9 via its Instagram account, given that All the President's Men ranks among AFI’s "greatest American films." See the social media reel below.

In the nail-biting film adaptation, Oscar-winners Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford portrayed the real-life journalists working for The Washington Post who investigating the Watergate break-in, which ultimately brought down Richard Nixon's presidency.

The film grossed more than $7 million $7,016,001 in its first week of release, placing it number one No. 1 at the U.S. box office, and eventually grossed over $70 million. Added to that, All the President's Men was nominated for eight Academy Awards and won trophies for:

• Best Art Direction
• Best Adapted Screenplay
• Best Sound
• Best Supporting Actor (Jason Robards)

In other Watergate news, Parade recently reported on a certain song that dropped the same decade as All the President's Men, a track proven so controversial that radios wouldn't play it. The writer of Charlie Rich's "Behind Closed Doors" says the song's title was inspired by a phrase used during the Watergate scandal. Read more here.

Those who have fallen in love with the treat to the extent that they say they would love to bathe in it can now do that, in a way. Dole has partnered with the company Dabble & Dollop to create a trio of Dole Whip Body Wash in three enticing scents.

On April 7, Dabble & Dollop, along with Dole, teased the release. The Dole Whip body wash comes in strawberry, mango, and pineapple scents.

Dabble & Dollop is a mom-founded line of children's bath products. As Momtastic shared in June 2022, it was founded by Stephanie Leshney, and the products are made in the U.S. Everything contains 10 or fewer ingredients, and the product line is entirely gentle and non-toxic.

The three Dole Whip scented body washes are foaming products that come in 8-ounce containers. The scents are sold individually, although Dabble & Dollop offers a set on their website that contains all three options together.

The announcement on Instagram prompted a flood of comments from potential customers.

"I want to try them all holy moly," one Instagram user declared.

Several commenters noted that they couldn't wait to try the new body washes. Others pointed out that the timing of the release is perfect, given that summer is right around the corner.

Another Instagram user commented, "Hot diggity dog it's going to be a fun summer with these!"

Someone else added, "Yes! We definitely need to try all of them, and I will likely keep the pineapple for myself because I looooove dole whip."

A customer who apparently has already tested out the new Dole Whip Body Wash exclaimed, "Seriously the best! My new fave scents."

The Dabble & Dollop Dole Whip Body Washes are said to be currently available at Walmart, Amazon, and via the Dabble & Dollop website.

One of the best things about BTS is not only their music but also their interaction with their fans and the public. From doing more than just a standard appearance on a talk show to the many episodes of Run BTS over the course of the band's history, the band has endeared themselves to their fanbase (known as ARMY) with their ability to have fun and laugh at themselves. As they embark on their first world tour in over four years, BTS appeared on the season finale of Hot Ones to test their mettle against the hottest of sauces. Who of the seven will fall first (an easy answer for ARMY) and who will stay until the final wing?

Who are the members of BTS?

BTS consists of seven members: Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook. All of the members write and produce music as well. The rap line—J-Hope, RM and Suga—were the first trainees to sign with Big Hit and before the group’s official debut in 2013, the members were all in their teens. Now, they are all in their late 20s and early 30s.

How hot were the sauces on Hot Ones?

On this episodes of Hot Ones, the sauces ranged from Piko Peppers' Garlic Delight at 1900 Scovilles to The Dab's Thermageddon hot sauce that has a heat level of 11/10 with "TBD" Scoville level though some discussion boards rate it at over 3 million. To put it into perspective, sriracha sauce typically ranges from 1,000-2,500 Scovilles.

Which BTS member quit eating first?

ARMY fans will know that Kim Taehyung, better known as "V", can not handle spice. V tapped out after the first wing and went nursed a bottle of milk throughout the rest of the episode. At one point, after only eating a bite or two of the first wing, he had to ask for another bottle of milk to which Jin asked if he was eating cereal over there.

Who member of BTS lasted the longest on Hot Ones?

You could say it was a tie between Jimin and Jungkook though I would say Jimin inched ahead by reaching for his milk/water/ice cream the least. While they all (except V) tried the last wing with The Dab's Thermaggedon sauce, the others were clearly in pain or sweating from the heat and reaching for their milk and ice cream while Jimin and Jungkook seem to enjoy the snack before them and even kept eating long after the challenge was over.

Next, BTS is Back—Everything to Know About the Netflix Concert and Doc

When The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen first came out, we were immediately hooked. That grew into a series that we haven’t necessarily wanted to see end. However, all good things come to an end, especially when it comes to epic fantasy romances. That end is nigh.

The Tempest Blade is the sixth and final installment in the main book series. Releasing on April 14, 2026, there isn’t much longer left to wait — it’s been two years since the previous main book in the series — and there’s plenty to be excited about.

About the Book ‘The Tempest Blade’

Ahnna is now a fugitive on the run, but all she wants to do is return to Ithicana. Her homeland is facing the biggest threat ever, but how can she prove that when she’s wanted for murder? How can she return home when the love of her life is now hunting her down?

James wants justice, as all men do when their family has been torn apart. He needs to find the woman responsible for his father’s murder, and he’s sure that Ahnna is that woman. Yet, the longer he follows her trail, the more he doubts that she is guilty.

There’s another enemy out there, and James and Ahnna will need to work together if they want to expose them. Of course, their loyalties are on opposite sides, and love can’t always stretch that far. Will their love take them to the battlefield or into each other’s arms?

This is the epic conclusion. Answers will be gained, storylines will be wrapped, and there’s hope that love will find a way.

Penguin Random House

‘The Tempest Blade’ Has Chapters From Multiple POVs

Jensen has made it clear on Goodreads that this story has chapters from multiple viewpoints. Not only do we get the story from Ahnna and James’s POVs, but we also hear from Lara, Aren, Keris, and Zarrah.

Reviews so far have been overwhelmingly positive, promising that larger-than-life ending we’ve all been dreaming of. The Tempest Blade has a 4.45-star rating on average so far, which makes it the highest-rated of the novels in the series so far. With 56% of those ratings giving a 5-star, it’s clear that this is one to get as soon as it comes out.

Of course, reading right away means that it’s over sooner, but you can always start The Bridge Kingdom series from the beginning again and see how it all flows together.

Next to your passport, a bottle of water and perhaps a decent pair of headphones, there's nothing more important to take with you on a long flight than a good book to keep you company.

Allowing the hours to tick by in a moments' notice, a worthwhile book is capable of transporting you to worlds beyond your wildest imagination, distracting you just long enough for the pilot to utter the words, "Folks, we'll be landing soon..."

Of course, some books are more ideally suited for long-haul flights than others. And fortunately, Goodreads' diverse community rounded up their top list of books to read on your next flight, including a 1996 thriller that's impossibly to put down once you've actually started reading.

According to Goodreads' list, Michael Crichton's Airframe remains the top book to read when it comes to a longer flight.

Crichton's 21st novel, Airframe follows a quality assurance executive investigating an enigmatic aerospace manufacturer responsible for an in-flight accident that left three passengers dead and 56 others injured.

While Airframe earned positive reviews upon its initial release, it hardly remains as well-known as some of the author's most recognizable works, including his standout releases in The Andromeda Strain orJurassic Park.

However, its relatively little-known reputation today hasn't prevented the book from climbing to the top spot of Goodreads' list, beating out other top five contenders like Dana Griffin's The Cover-Up; Frankie Bow's The Musubi Murder; Stephen King's Pet Semetary; and George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones.

Interestingly, horror and fantasy books seem to dominate a majority of the list, as seen through the presence of King's iconic work on The Stand, It, Misery and Different Seasons, as well as Martin's A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords and A Feast for Crows, all of which figure into Martin's A Song of Ice & Fire series.

Morgan Freeman is 88 and feeling great... and looking even better.

The film legend, who has starred in iconic films including Driving Miss Daisy, The Shawshank Redemption, and Invictus, rose to stardom back in the '70s on the children's television program The Electric Company. But a handful of decades later, the entertainment icon is still going strong and looking dapper on the red carpet. In a rare red carpet appearance, Freeman attended the 2026 Sierra Club's Trail Blazers Ball at Skirball Cultural Center this week in Los Angeles, California. Sporting a gray suit and aviator sunglasses, Freeman made it clear that he could pass for several years younger. Now that's one dapper gentleman.

What Has Morgan Freeman Said About Winning an Oscar?

Freeman may be a legend of the screen, but the actor said last year that winning an Academy Award didn't make him become a different person. In an interview with AARP’s Movies for Grownups, Freeman said that receiving the prestigious award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Eddie “Scrap Iron” Dupris in 2005's Million Dollar Baby “didn’t change me one whit.” 

“I kind of knew early on that I would eventually get [an Oscar]. It didn’t change me,” Freeman explained. “I hope it didn’t change me. Because the only change you can expect after you’ve gotten an Oscar is maybe your price goes up a tiny bit, and your job prospects go up a bit.”

Freeman continued, “That’s the one thing or two things, I guess, you could look forward to. Other than that, don’t let your ego get the best of you.”

What Advice Did Clint Eastwood Give Freeman?

Freeman's close friend and Million Dollar Baby director Clint Eastwood shared some advice that Freeman took to heart. In the AARP interview, Freeman shared that Eastwood told him this piece of advice: “Don’t let the old man in.” 

“The way to do that is to keep getting up in the morning, keep working out in the gym, keep taking your vitamins, keep taking your prescribed meds, and keep moving,” Freeman added. “Keep moving. That is the secret to it all.”

WhileNatasha Lyonnerocked the Euphoria Season 3 red carpet, the actor was also reported to have been removed from a flight hours later. The 47-year-old actor allegedly failed to follow orders from the airline staff and was escorted off.

According to PageSix, Lyonne was still wearing some of her red carpet ensemble when she boarded a red-eye from L.A. to New York City through Delta Airlines. At the Euphoria Season 3 premiere, she walked the carpet sporting a sheer black bodysuit, beige corset shorts, stockings, wraparound shades, and a long coat.

Reports state that the actor had clearly just come from the red carpet when she boarded the flight later that evening. Delta staff claimed the Orange is the New Black actor appeared "out of it" while sitting in first class. Flight attendants had asked Lyonne to fasten her seatbelt and put away her laptop, but the actor didn't respond.

As staff tried to get her to follow instructions, one passenger claims they witnessed the actor doxing off behind her sunglasses before getting startled and saying, "Ah! You scared me!" With Lyonne not having followed instructions, the laptop was removed from her hands as the plane taxied off the runway.

The Delta flight then returned to the gate with another airline staffer getting on board. They asked the actor if she needed medical attention, and told Lyonne she needed to get off the plane. Lyonne was overheard asking where they were, with the staffer confirming they were still in L.A. and the plane would not take off with her on board.

According to reports, Lyonne got up and used the bathroom before calmly exicting eating a bag of pretzels, and getting off the plane.

“We have a passenger who for whatever reason … wouldn’t follow some basic commands … We had a passenger who didn’t seem up to the task tonight so that’s why they were asked to be booked on another flight — I do apologize for the inconvenience, but we will get you to New York as quickly and as safely as possible," said the captain, according to the reports.

Neither Lyonne nor her rep has commented on the incident. The Poker Face actor recently revealed to fans that she relapsed in her sobriety journey in January and was back on her feet. She joins Euphoria Season 3 as a guest character for the series's final installment.

It's been a big year for Dr Pepper—and not just in the soda aisle. The beloved 23-flavor drink has been popping up in some seriously unexpected places, turning heads and taste buds alike. From sweet treats to savory surprises, it seems like every few weeks brings a new Dr Pepper-inspired creation, and fans can't get enough of the bold, nostalgic flavor showing up in new formats.

Recent releases have included everything from Dr Pepper-flavored Freeze Pops to a surprising collaboration with Johnsonville with Dr Pepper–infused sausages. Dessert lovers got in on the action, too, thanks to Blue Bell's Dr Pepper Float Ice Cream and Dr Pepper-Flavored Peeps.

Fast food fans weren't left out either, with Jack in the Box rolling out a Dr Pepper Strawberries & Cream Shake. Even the soda itself got a twist with the release of its Creamy Coconut flavor. Clearly, Dr Pepper is having a moment—and it's only getting bigger with its latest snack drop.

Snack Pack Brings the Latest Drop—Dr Pepper-Flavored Juicy Gels View this post on Instagram

Now, the brand is venturing into snack cups territory with the upcoming launch of Dr Pepper Snack Pack Juicy Gels, set to hit shelves in June 2026. The new treat blends the signature taste of Dr Pepper with a fruity, gelatin-style snack in individual cups, offering fans a totally new way to enjoy the iconic flavor—no fizz required.

The reaction online has been exactly what you'd expect: a mix of excitement, curiosity and a little skepticism. Some fans are all in. "I had the Dr Pepper flavored Peeps and they were very good. This will be perfect," one person shared. Another didn't hesitate, "Okay gotta try em!"

Others are embracing what feels like a full-on Dr Pepper takeover. "The year of Dr Pepper. Love it. What a time to be alive," one fan wrote, summing up the brand's recent streak of creative releases.

Dr Pepper Fans Have Mixed Reactions About the Snack Announcement

Still, not everyone is convinced. A few commenters were quick to shut the idea down entirely, with reactions like, "Ew. Nothing more. Nothing less. Than just ew," and "Omg I can't imagine Dr Pepper flavor without the fizz from the drink." For some, that signature carbonation is simply part of the experience.

And then there are those stuck somewhere in the middle. "Torn. This will either be amazing or grotesque," one commenter admitted. Others are still trying to figure out exactly what to expect: "Is it Jello or pudding?? I love Dr P, but I don't know about it either way," while another added, "Wish it was pudding instead."

Whether it ends up being a hit or a miss, one thing is clear—Dr Pepper's flavor experiment era isn't slowing down anytime soon, and fans will definitely be watching—and tasting—what comes next.

Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie‘s mom, Nancy Guthrie, is still missing more than two months after she was abducted from her Tucson, Ariz., home—and recently, NewsNation's Brian Entin, who has closely followed the case, shared what he would ask Savannah.

During an interview with Us Weekly published on April 8, Entin shared his hope of one day interviewing the NBC morning show host about her 84-year-old mother's disappearance.

“I would love to interview Savannah, and I’ve obviously, behind the scenes, been trying to make that happen,” the NewsNation senior national correspondent, 40, shared. “If anybody reads this and has a connection, that would be amazing, just because I’ve been so close to the case and I have so much sympathy for her and what her family has gone through.”

Nancy was last seen at her home in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood in Tucson on the evening of Jan. 31. The Pima County Sheriff's Department launched its search for her on Feb. 1, with the FBI soon joining the investigation. Despite Savannah offering a $1 million reward for information leading to Nancy's return, no suspect has been named in the case.

In late March, Savannah gave her first interview during a sit-down with colleague Hoda Kotb on Today. However, Entin said he has more he' would like to ask he'd like to explore.

“I would love to ask her more about her relationship with her mom, and then also about the investigation,” Entin said. “I understand her interview with the Today show and with Hoda, and Hoda is her friend, but there were some follow-ups that I would really like to ask about what they were kind of going through when they first learned what happened, and what she thinks may have happened behind the scenes.”

On April 6, Savannah officially returned to her Today co-anchor duties for the first time since Nancy's kidnapping.

“Good morning. Welcome to Today on this Monday morning,” Savannah said during her first on-camera moments. “We are so glad you started your week with us. And it is good to be home.”

What would you ask Savannah if you had a chance to interview her?
