Solar lighting can be especially convenient in areas where you don’t have an outlet close by. You can place the lantern somewhere it receives sunlight during the day, then use its glow to make an outdoor table feel brighter in the evening. It could also be used indoors to add some cheerfulness to a space when it starts getting too chilly to enjoy it outside.

A five-star reviewer called the lantern “very cute and summery,” and there are plenty of charming details to appreciate in both versions. The pink lantern has a large woven strawberry with red stitching, green leaves, and small seed details, while the light blue option is decorated with raised yellow bananas that wrap around the lantern.

One of the greatest lessons Robin Williams learned from his mentor Jonathan Winters was that creativity begins with curiosity. The world, Williams believed, was filled with possibilities if you were willing to look at it from a different angle.

For Williams, play was not just something children did. It was a way of approaching life, people, and ideas—with imagination, humor, and an openness to the unexpected.

Born on July 21, 1951, Williams became one of the most influential comedians and actors of his generation. Known for his rapid-fire improvisations, unforgettable characters, and ability to move seamlessly between comedy and drama, Williams built a career that stretched from his breakout role as the alien Mork on Mork & Mindy to his Academy Award-winning performance in Good Will Hunting.

Williams died by suicide on August 11, 2014, at the age of 63. His death brought an outpouring of grief from fans, fellow performers, and colleagues around the world. But his legacy continues to be defined by the joy, laughter, and humanity he brought to millions of people.

Williams was a quiet child who gradually discovered comedy. In an interview with Terry Gross on Fresh Air, he explained that he had not always been the performer audiences came to know. “Not at all, I was very quiet,” said Williams. “I never really started to even be funny openly on that level. I was a closet comedian for so many years.”

His first opportunity to perform comedy came during his senior year of high school, when students were given the chance to make fun of teachers in a school production. “That was the first time I really had a performance,” said Williams. “And all of a sudden I went, wait a minute. I can use these skills.”

After studying acting at the prestigious Juilliard School in New York Williams found his way into improvisation and eventually stand-up comedy. It became a place where he could create freely and express himself in his own voice. “I think it led to comedy as a survival mechanism, especially when I left school and went back to San Francisco and couldn’t find acting work,” he said.

Williams said that comedy offered a kind of freedom he had not found elsewhere. “I started doing comedy because I couldn’t find any work in plays, and I found this place where I could do whatever I wanted,” he shared. “And it was me, and I didn’t have to say it was someone else’s words. It’s basically mine.”

Throughout his career, Williams was known for his ability to create characters and find humor in unexpected places. But his comedy was also shaped by honesty and observation. As The New York Times wrote after his death, Williams was known onstage for “ricochet riffs” on politics, social issues, and culture, as well as “lightning-like improvisations” based on whatever an audience member might offer.

Quote of the Day by Robin Williams

In a 60 Minutes interview with Ed Bradley that aired on September 21, 1986, Williams credited Jonathan Winters as one of the great influences on his career. Speaking about the legendary comedian and improviser, Williams said:

“Jonathan [Winters] taught me that the world is open for play. That everything and everybody is mockable, in a wonderful way.”

For Williams, Winters was more than a comedy hero. He was a mentor who showed him that humor could come from curiosity, imagination, and a willingness to look at life from unexpected angles. Winters believed that comedy could come from simply paying attention to the world around him.

The quote captured a philosophy that guided Williams throughout his career and helped shape his approach to creativity. Williams saw comedy as an invitation to explore. It was a way to notice the small details, embrace the unusual, and find humor in human behavior.

The Deeper Meaning of Robin Williams’ Quote

Jonathan Winters’ lesson was not just about making jokes. It was about perspective. To see the world as “open for play” means remaining curious and willing to discover something new in ordinary moments.

That approach defined Williams’ work. Whether he was creating dozens of characters in a stand-up routine, improvising a scene, or bringing emotional depth to roles like teacher John Keating in Dead Poets Society and therapist Sean Maguire in Good Will Hunting, he found ways to connect with audiences through both laughter and vulnerability.

That same interest in human connection appeared in one of his films. In the 2009 film World’s Greatest Dad , Williams delivered this line as his character Lance Clayton. The sentiment reflected a theme that appeared throughout much of his work: the importance of connection, understanding, and being seen.

“I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It’s not," he said. "The worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel all alone.”

Robin Williams’ career was built on imagination, and the lesson from Jonathan Winters still holds true for all of us. The world is always offering something to discover. We just have to remember that the world is still open for play.

More Quotes from Robin Williams

"You're only given a little spark of madness. And if you lose that, you're nothing."

"You have this idea that you'd better keep working, otherwise people will forget. And that was dangerous. And then you realize, no, actually if you take a break people might be more interested in you."

On the perfect Robin Williams film: "God. It’s out there somewhere. It’s got to be. Something with spirit, with a character who doesn’t drive people crazy. Mork was like that—Mork had total freedom, and yet people still found him sweet enough that they could tolerate the madness. It’s a fine line. There has to be a story that’s simple enough and strong enough to keep people going.

On people asking him to be zany all the time: “Sometimes it’s fun and I’ll play if the moment’s right. And if not, I’ll talk straight with you—we can talk about that. Be cool.”

“For me, comedy is therapy. It’s another world. It’s such a great release. I was trained as an actor, and I started doing comedy because I couldn’t find any work in plays. I found this place where I could do whatever I wanted. It was me. I didn’t have to say it was someone else’s words. It’s basically mine. If I didn’t work, I had to take the same responsibility, but it was such freedom. It’s wonderful."

Some artists seem to have an unending motor. Not only are they still creating new and exciting music, but they are also hitting the road with elaborate tours that help revive the beloved nostalgic energy their fans constantly seek. And anyone who grew up in the '70s idolizing performer Shaun Cassidyhas more than gotten their "money's worth," considering the albums and shows he's put on over the decades.

Despite recently ending a massive tour run from winter to spring, Cassidy has been spending time in the studio recording and cutting his newest venture: The 2026 UNWRAPPED Holiday Tour, set to go on sale July 24.

"This November and December, we’ll be bringing you the songs you know and love, holiday favorites, new music, and stories from our many Cassidy family Christmases (with seven kids, there’s no shortage of them)," Cassidy wrote on Instagram. "We’re also heading to several places we missed last year, including Denver, Des Moines, Key West, New York City, Los Angeles, and Pontiac, Michigan."

"Thank you for bringing me back to the stage," he added. "I can’t wait to see you all this holiday season — and be on the lookout for new music in the fall!"

Fans were over the moon with the announcement, practically marking their calendars as he spoke.

"This is AMAZING NEWS x a million!! Congrats on the album, and can’t wait to catch you in KC or Iowa! Merry Christmas to me," wrote one eager fan.

"I cannot wait!!! See you in November," promised another.

The Cassidy Christmas Connection

Considering Cassidy has been in the biz since he was a teenager, it is pretty surprising to realize he had never crafted a full holiday album before. However, his mother, Shirley Jones, created a holiday album called A Touch of Christmas, as well as the classic group album A Partridge Family Christmas Card, which featured the famous Partridge Family, of which his half-brother, David Cassidy, was a part.

That doesn't mean he hasn't shown off his "holiday cheer" before. Cassidy has been known to sing a holiday jingle or two around Christmastime. In 2023, he played a last-minute New Year's Eve party and sang several holiday ditties, and he recounted a tale of spending holiday time with him, his mom, and his wife in his beloved cabin, with "48,000" children.

Though we do not know for certain, we are hopeful that a few of those holiday classics from either album and a family holiday story or two will make a sentimental appearance.

"Wonderwall" by Oasis continues to see a resurgence on the charts following its moment in the World Cup spotlight.

After becoming the unofficial World Cup anthem for Team England, it's seen plenty of renewed chart activity, 30 years after its release on October 30, 1995, as the fourth single from the group's second studio album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?

The '90s classic was back on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time since it first charted in 1996.

Per Billboard, the song re-entered the chart for the week of July 25, coming in at No. 27.

According to the outlet, it was "led by 8.7 million chart-eligible U.S. streams July 10-16, according to data tracker Luminate," marking a 73% surge week over week.

"It also totaled 2.2 million in all-format radio audience, up 41%, and 1,000 downloads sold, up 112%," the report read.

Earlier last week, the tune by the English rock band was among “the most-played songs, as of July 14, taking the No. 2 spot in the Top 5 Spotify ranking, next to Shakira and Burna Boy’s official World Cup Anthem, “Dai Dai."

The track has seen a major resurgence during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with passionate fans serenading England’s national team on the field. And after every victorious match, players lined up arm-in-arm, belting out the hit alongside a sea of supporters boasting the country's colors.

The last moment happened when England defeated France, in a thrilling 6-4 win during the Bronze Medal Match on July 18, taking third place.

Noel Gallagher, the lead guitarist, primary songwriter, and co-lead vocalist of Oasis, previously told The Sun of the song's comeback: “Wonderwall belongs to the people, and it was a magical moment between the people and the players.

The single, which ranked among the “Greatest Songs of All Time,” per Rolling Stones, narrowly missed the top spot in the U.K., peaking at No. 2 on the Singles Chart, while U.S charts saw it hit No. 8 on the Hot 100 during its original, 20-week run.

Per Billboard, the band last appeared on the charts for a short-lived week on October 23 at No. 93 for "The Shock of Lightning."

The parent album, "(What's The Story) Morning Glory," previously reentered the Billboard 200 in Oct. 2025 for its 30th anniversary. In honor of the milestone, the Grammy-nominated band unveiled a deluxe reissue of the wildly successful album earlier this month. Upon its release in 1996, it took the No. 4 spot on the Billboard 200.

Oasis’ ‘90s classic “Wonderwall” is back on Billboard Hot 100 for the first time since 1996, sparked by its usage by fans of the English men’s team during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Travis Kelce is back on the field and ready for action.

Nearly three weeks after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 36, tied the knot with Taylor Swift inside New York City's Madison Square Garden, Kelce is preparing for what's being labeled his "last dance" with the NFL team.

In a photo shared to Instagram on Monday, July 20, Kelce's pal Cris Carter hinted that his upcoming season could be Kelce's last.

"Andrew [Spruill] and I started with Travis before his rookie year in the NFL," Carter wrote alongside the photo, which showed him posing with Kelce and his training team. "Know the [GOAT] is preparing for THE LAST DANCE. Next stop Canton/HOF."

In the pic, the three-time Super Bowl champ is seen sporting a black Bearcats T-shirt from his alma mater, the University of Cincinnati, matching shorts and red-and-black Nike sneakers.

But what stood out most to eagle-eyed Swifties wasn't his look, or the caption; it was the ring on Kelce's finger. Carter's post gave fans their first look at the football star's wedding band, which was on display as he placed an arm around Carter's shoulder.

View this post on Instagram

The return to routine follows Kelce and Swift's star-studded wedding, which saw 1,000 guests in attendance, including the couple's close friends and family. Officiated by a friend of the couple, Adam Sandler, the celebration still managed to feel intimate despite all the star power in the room. The couple also did away with a traditional wedding party, opting instead to have their siblings by their side. Swift, for her part, had her brother Austin Swift serve as her man of honor, while Jason Kelce stood by his brother's side as his best man.

And while Kelce is back to business as usual following the pair's wedding, Carter's post is the only real hint that the 2026-2027 season could be his last, as previous comments from Kelce signaled that he wasn't sure when he'd make the decision to retire.

He did, however, put rumors about his future for Season 14 to rest back in March.

"HE'S BACK!!!" his New Heights podcast's Instagram account announced at the time. "TRAVIS KELCE IS BACK WITH THE CHIEFS FOR YEAR 14."

The NFL echoed the excitement, posting its own announcement on Instagram alongside a video of Kelce with the caption, "He's not done yet."

Marc Anthonyand his wife Nadia Ferreira just welcomed their second baby! The newest addition to Anthony's family is the eighth child for Jennifer Lopez’s ex.

On Tuesday, the singer/songwriter and the former Miss Universe Paraguay contestant posted a joint statement on Instagram sharing the news and the newborn’s name, writing (translated from the original  Spanish), “What a great blessing to be able to share with you the arrival of our precious MYLA. You can’t imagine the happiness we have at home, we are over the moon.”

The couple has a three-year-old son, Marco. Anthony is also the father of six other children: Twins Maximillian (Max) and Emme with ex-wife Jennifer Lopez; Arianna and Chase (adopted) with ex-girlfriend Debbie Rosado; and Cristian and Ryan with ex-wife Dayanara Torres.

Along with officially announcing the birth of baby number eight (two for Nadia), the couple shared a series of sweet family snapshots, including an absolutely adorable black-and-white photo of big brother Marco holding his new little sister. 

When did Marc Anthony and Nadia Ferreira announce the pregnancy? 

Anthony and his model wife announced their second pregnancy last January on the pair’s anniversary, posting a belly-baring pic on Instagram with the caption, “Happy 3rd anniversary! What a great gift life gives us. God is great. Marquito is going to be a big brother.”

Two months later, the celeb parents revealed that they were having a girl. The couple posted a pair of pics on Instagram, featuring mom, dad, soon-to-be big brother Marco, and teeny tiny pink shoes. 

View this post on Instagram When did Marc Anthony and Nadia Ferreira marry?

This isn't the first high-profile marriage for the singer. Like his current wife, his first wife, Dayanara Torres, was also a Miss Universe contestant. The Puerto Rican actress and model won the pageant in 1993. After divorcing Torres in 2004, he famously married superstar Jennifer Lopez later the same year. The couple finalized their divorce in 2014. 

Anthony wed his third wife, model Shannon De Lima, in November of 2014. The couple divorced three years later. 

Ferreira and Anthony reportedly met in 2016, but didn’t start dating until several years later. The pair went Instagram official in March of 2022, and announced their engagement in May. They married in January of 2023.

The star-studded Miami wedding was held at the Perez Art Museum and included a who’s who guest list of celebs such as Victoria and David Beckham, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Salma Hayek. Son Marco was born in June of the same year on Father’s Day.

Bravo fans are rallying around former Real Housewives of Orange County star Jeana Keough after her daughter, Kara Keough Bosworth, revealed the reality TV alum hasn't been able to eat for two weeks amid her battle with tongue cancer. The emotional update prompted an outpouring of prayers, personal stories, and suggestions for helping Jeana get the nutrition she needs.

Only days ago, Jeana's family revealed that she is battling tongue cancer after a sore she believed was caused by a tooth had gone untreated for nearly a year. She has since undergone surgery to remove the cancer and nearby lymph nodes and is now receiving chemotherapy. However, severe pain has made it difficult for her to eat or drink, leaving her malnourished. Her family also launched a GoFundMe with a $22,000 goal to help cover medical expenses.

In a new update, Kara shared that Jeana's planned feeding tube procedure had been delayed after doctors discovered both an infection and a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) blood clot in her leg.

"Jeana was scheduled to get the G-tube this morning so she can get some nutrition. She hasn't been able to eat a meal for 2 weeks, so she's extremely depleted," Kara wrote alongside a photo of her mother in the hospital.

View this post on Instagram

She explained that the feeding tube couldn't be placed until the infection is under control, forcing doctors to temporarily pause Jeana's chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

Despite the setback, Kara said her mom hasn't lost her fighting spirit, joking that Jeana insisted she only had a "fake fever" and was ready to move forward with the procedure.

The update quickly filled with support from Bravo fans, many of whom offered prayers alongside practical suggestions for managing Jeana's nutrition.

"Would THC drops help? Can she not eat because her mouth or stomach? Sending so many prayers to you all. SHE WILL GET THROUGH THIS," one fan wrote.

Another asked whether doctors could temporarily use a nasogastric feeding tube while Jeana waits for surgery.

Others shared deeply personal stories of surviving tongue and throat cancer—or watching loved ones endure similar treatments—offering encouragement and reassurance that recovery is possible. Many also praised Jeana's trademark humor and determination, saying they're rooting for her as she continues her fight.

When "Go Away Little Girl" first topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963, few could have predicted it would one day do it all over again.

Written by legendary songwriting duo Gerry Goffin and Carole King, the heartfelt ballad became a No. 1 hit for Steve Lawrence, earning its place among the era's biggest pop songs. Eight years later, the timeless classic found an entirely new audience when 13-year-old Donny Osmond reimagined it, sending the song back to No. 1 and making it one of the rare songs in chart history to reach the summit twice.

The story began during the golden age of the Brill Building.

Goffin and King wrote "Go Away Little Girl" as a bittersweet tale of forbidden attraction, with a narrator pleading for a young woman to leave before his emotions get the better of him. Steve Lawrence's polished interpretation resonated with listeners, becoming the songwriting team's first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

"I think we probably didn't do more than four or five takes," Lawrence told Classic Bands of the recording process. "We probably ended up with the second or third take. The first one, you're always kind of approaching it and everybody is getting used to the sounds, the production values and where the strength of the orchestration lies, where you have to lay back and be supported, however those things turn out."

By 1971, Donny Osmond had become one of America's biggest teen idols.

Osmond recorded "Go Away Little Girl" for his album To You with Love, Donny. His youthful voice and softer, contemporary arrangement introduced the song to a new generation of fans, and on Sept. 11, 1971, it climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The achievement was a rare one.

Only a select handful of songs have reached No. 1 on the Hot 100 in recordings by two different artists, placing "Go Away Little Girl" in an exclusive group of enduring pop standards. While Lawrence's version reflected the polished pop sound of the early 1960s, Osmond's interpretation leaned into the softer, more contemporary style that was dominating radio in the early 1970s.

The hit also became one of the defining moments of Osmond's career. At just 13 years old, he was one of the youngest artists ever to top the Billboard Hot 100, and the success of "Go Away Little Girl" helped fuel the height of "Donnymania" as his popularity spread across television, radio, and concert stages.

"Throughout my 20s and into my 30s, I would apologize for my career, for all of the cheesy music I was a part of," Osmond told Tiger Beat years later. "It wasn’t until my late 30s or early 40s…[that I] thought to myself, ‘You know what? That music was great for what it was, people loved it, it was incredibly successful—why should I feel bad?'"

More than 60 years after it was first released, "Go Away Little Girl" remains a testament to the power of great songwriting. What began as a 1963 pop classic ultimately became a rare two-time No. 1 hit, proving that a timeless song can captivate listeners across generations when it’s reimagined by the right artist.

Audiences and critics alike tend to give acclaim to movies with well-crafted twists and unexpected moments. Colliderrecently spotlighted a few beloved and surprising films by releasing a list of the "10 most unpredictable movies of all time."

Acclaimed movies like Psycho from 1960, 2018's Sorry to Bother You, 1994's Pulp Fiction, After Hours, released in 1985, and Everything Everywhere All at Once from 2022 were featured on the list. According to Collider, the "most unpredictable movie" ever released is the 2006 animated filmPaprika, adapted from Yasutaka Tsutsui's 1993 book.

Collider reported that the Satoshi Kon-directed sci-fi film, involving dream-hopping technology, is constantly bewildering.

Yasutaka Tsutsui Shared He Had Asked Satoshi Kon to Make a Film Version of His Book

In a behind-the-scenes interview filmed while the Paprika movie was in production, Tsutsui shared that he had approached Kon, who had previously directed 1997's Perfect Blue and Memories (1995), to make an animated adaptation of his book. Tsutsui explained that there were talks to turn his novel into a live-action film, but making the dream sequences would have been too expensive.

"The final stage of development, cost became an issue that shut the project down. I knew that a big budget would be required for a movie like this. But I really believed that it would happen. So I was very disappointed when I heard of their decision," said the novelist, now 94.

During the interview, Kon said he agreed to take on the project because he was a fan of the book. The late filmmaker also explained why he wasn't all that strict about making a direct adaptation of the text.

"Remaining rigidly true to the novel is pointless because the novel will always be superior. It is very hard to convey the feeling that one gets from reading Mr. Tsutsui's words. It's tough to recreate that visually. So what I want to do is invoke the atmosphere of a dream while also creating a fundamental plot that will be able to stand on its own as entertainment," said Kon, who died in 2010 at the age of 46.

The film version of Paprika holds a score of 87 percent based on 95 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Meanwhile, Tsutsui's 1993 novel has a score of 3.18 out of 5 from 3,888 readers on Goodreads.

Ted Dansonand Mary Steenburgen are the most adorable grandparents on the red carpet.

Steenburgen's Perspective on Parenting

Steenburgen and Danson have been married since 1995. The couple each have two children from previous marriages. While Steenburgen passed on one unnamed major role earlier in her career, she said it all worked out in the end because she ended up with Danson.

"The truth is, I don't really feel I should have, because if I had done that, I might not have met Ted, and then Kate and Alexis wouldn't be my stepdaughters," Steenburgen said on an episode of The Daily Beast's "Obsessed" podcast. "All the ways that my life would be different are impossible to imagine."

What's Next for Ted Danson?

Danson is set to join Elizabeth Banks, Katey Sagal, and Rob Delaney in an untitled Apple TV+ series, Variety reported last month. Here's a look at the official logline for the show.

“Fresh off a messy divorce, Heidi (Banks) sets out to secure a lively second act for herself and her kids. But when she stumbles into coordinating her father’s (Danson) retirement community sexcapades, Heidi is forced into an unlikely alliance with his girlfriend’s perpetually single son," it reads.

Now that sounds like a fun one!

There are some strength exercises that you’ve likely heard of and are tried-and-true, like glute bridges, push-ups and various Pilates moves. But some have been around a while but are experiencing a resurgence, and maybe you’re not familiar with them at all.

Enter: the Farmer’s Walk (also known as the “Farmer’s Carry”). As trainer Heike Yates, Midlife Fitness Expert, author of Pursue Your Spark and host of the Pursue Your Spark Podcast, puts it, the Farmer’s Walk is an exercise anyone able to walk can do at any age and fitness level. 

Calling it a “loaded carry exercise,” Matt Kasee, MS, CSCS, founder of Trilogy Fitness Systems, says that the Farmer’s Walk might be the best functional exercise around. Functional fitness, which focuses on transferring strength moves to everyday life, has become more popular in recent years.

Yates defines the Farmer’s Walk as “a full-body exercise that mimics walking under load.”

“Farmers used to work in the fields, carrying heavy buckets, equipment or seed for planting before the use of equipment,” Yates says of the move’s origins.

Kasee explains that this exercise involves carrying a weight in each hand for a set distance or period. So, if you’re looking for a strength training move that’s efficient and can be done virtually anywhere (and is a great way to test your strength), read on to find out how to do it—and the top mistakes to be wary of.

How to Do the Farmer’s Walk

The trainers we spoke with share the steps to carry out the Farmer’s Walk: 

• Hold a dumbbell (or kettlebell or evenly-filled water jug) in each hand with a tight, firm grip, palms facing the body and the arms hanging next to the body. 
• Keep your back straight by pulling your shoulders back and together to stabilize the shoulder girdle, engage your core and walk a specified distance. Keep the focus on controlled and balanced movement. 

How Often Should You Do the Farmer’s Walk?

Kasee recommends performing the Farmer’s Walk once a week to see results. “You will want to track the amount and distance you are carrying so you know how to appropriately challenge yourself each workout,” he advises.

What are Mistakes You Can Make?

Yates cautions that while you’re doing a Farmer’s Walk, you might overlook your posture and form because you want to progress more quickly. Or she says that you may not listen to your body’s messages, like back pain from poor posture.

Carrying too much weight too soon could also lead to injury. She also suggests resisting the urge to swing your arms, and instead keep them securely at each side.

“The biggest mistake we see with the Farmer's Walk is that people aren't walking with ‘good posture’ or the weights are pulling people around as they walk,” Kasee adds. “We want to see people walking tall and upright without arching backwards through the lower back—it should be tall and neutral.”

Benefits of the Farmer’s Walk

The trainers we spoke with list the myriad benefits of the Farmer’s Walk: 

• The ability to improve your strength for everyday activities, such as moving furniture or carrying groceries
• Save time by performing a full-body move instead of several smaller moves
• Improve grip strength
• Improve posture
• Acts as a cardio add-on and will spike heart rate
• Strengthen core
• Boost balance
• Increase bone health and density

How the Farmer’s Walk Tests Your Strength

“The Farmer's Walk is a simple way to assess functional strength because it requires multiple muscle groups to work together simultaneously,” Yates says. “You're not just testing how much weight you can lift once or how many sets and reps. You're testing your grip strength, core stability, posture, balance and ability to maintain good movement while carrying a load. For many adults over 50, the results show up in everyday activities like carrying heavy grocery bags, lifting luggage, carrying laundry and opening stubborn jars.”

Kasee says that there are several ways to test your strength by doing the Farmer’s Walk, using body weight as the marker. “If you are just beginning, carrying a total of half your body weight for a set time is a great strength test, or even a quarter of your body weight if you need to dial it back a notch,” he says.

Anthony Michael Hall has spent more than five decades in show business, but the actor says staying power in Hollywood comes down to more than talent.

Speaking at a recent press event ahead of his appearance on Fox's Nation's Dumbest, The Breakfast Club star reflected on what has helped him build a career spanning 51 years.

"Having a thick skin, and just being game and just wanting to work with the best people you can," Hall, 58, told Fox News Digital. "Just being persistent and tenacious. And thank God I was born with a hard head. But you have to have a thick skin."

The Reacher actor said genuine passion for the work has also kept him motivated through the industry's highs and lows.

"You have to really want and love what you do. So I think that's it," he added.

Looking back on the biggest lesson he's learned after five decades in the business, Hall said perspective has been just as important as perseverance.

"Stay humble, stay focused, keep your eyes on the road, and just keep moving ahead somehow," the former Saturday Night Live cast member said. "There's no guarantee of anything in this business, and it's a tough business, but it's really great business, so I'm very fortunate."

Hall said he still feels grateful every time a new opportunity comes along.

"[I] feel very blessed. This is my 51st year doing this, and this was really a unique thing, because it was something I never expected," he said, referring to Nation's Dumbest.

Hosted by comedian Jack Whitehall, the Fox competition series sends 12 celebrities back to "summer school" for a series of classroom-inspired trivia contests, physical challenges, and school-themed games.

For Hall, the project turned out to be an unexpected highlight.

"It really took me by surprise, and it was really a lot of fun," the Sixteen Candles star shared. "So, it was about learning that lesson, too. Staying open to new opportunities, just being cool with it and having fun. So, we really had a great time, all of us. It was nice."

The actor also couldn't help but notice similarities between the show's setup and the film that made him a household name.

Hall said being placed in a classroom with fellow celebrities — including Ice-T, Jon Heder, Hilaria Baldwin, Carmen Electra, Chase Hudson, Elle King, Matt Leinart, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Steve-O, JoJo Siwa, and Andrew Yang — brought back memories of The Breakfast Club.

"Do you know what, there was some parallels for sure. We all got thrown together. We're all stuck, we couldn't really go anywhere. And honestly, we all really got along. It was a real nice organic surprise that I had a great time with all these people," Hall explained.

Hall, who famously played Brian Johnson, the academically gifted member of the iconic John Hughes ensemble, said the opportunity arrived at just the right time.

"It was coming into a year where I wasn't sure where the next job was gonna come, like we often feel in this industry," he shared. And I got the call, and I was just really excited by it."

Hall added, "And I really embraced it, and I just went up to Toronto and had a good time shooting it, and everybody was really cool. So we had a really good time."

Nation's Dumbest premiered July 15 on Fox and is also available to stream on Hulu.

Rosie O'Donnell has dropped a significant amount of weight in recent years. But the star remembers when another A-lister recommended she drop some weight.

O'Donnell, 64, revealed that beloved director Penny Marshall urged her to “lose 20 pounds” on the set of the iconic 1992 baseball film, A League of Their Own.

“On League of Their Own, Penny Marshall didn’t help by saying, ‘Rosie, I want you to lose 20 pounds.’ I’m like, ‘You think I carry it around for fun, Penny?'” O’Donnell remembered telling the director, she told People. “When I look back, I go, ‘God, I wish I could have enjoyed the size I was.'”

Now with significant weight loss under her belt, O'Donnell recalled battling her weight.

“It’s very strange to just buy a pair of jeans that fit. When I would do late-night, my biggest concern wasn’t my set — it was, did I look fat?”

O'Donnell Had a Facelift

O'Donnell recently took to her Substack page to share a deeply personal essay about how she previously vowed never to have plastic surgery. However, she had a change of heart earlier this year when she decided to have a lower deep plane facelift.

“I used to feel very strongly about facelifts,” O’Donnell wrote on Substack. “Not casually — morally. I had assigned myself as head of all women who would never – ever. I thought it was a betrayal. Of feminism. Of aging. Of our team of women worldwide.  And then I lost 50 pounds.”

Feeling like gravity was getting the best of her after her dramatic weight loss, O’Donnell would look in the mirror and say, “This isn’t aging, this is melting with intention.” Her 13-year-old child, Clay, didn’t like the idea of plastic surgery, telling O’Donnell she “earned her wrinkles.” While she put off the procedure for months, she finally went under the knife in January.

O’Donnell shared a photo of her results on Instagram.

In the last couple of years, O’Donnell has been open about her 50-pound weight loss as a result of using Mounjaro. She went into more detail in a March 2025 TikTok video, sharing why she had started taking the medication. She also noted that, in addition to starting the medication to deal with her health issues, she had been spending more time cooking for her child, Clay.

“I’ve lost more weight. I am on Mounjaro for my diabetes and one of the side effects is you lose weight,” she explained. “But it’s also because I had a chef for over two years in Los Angeles and I don’t have a chef now. It’s me cooking for Clay and me.”

What is the one thing you should do before summer ends? Birth date numerology and astrology may provide some insights. It’s hard to believe how quickly time flies; it feels like just yesterday we were dreaming about all the fun activities we would enjoy in the sun while watching the snow fall outside our window. Now that summer is here and starting to wind down, how can you make the most of these final sunny days?

What Each Birth Date Should Do Before Summer Ends

Check for your birth date. Disregard birth months.

Born on the 1st, 10th, 19th, or 28th — Book a Spontaneous Beach Trip

These birth dates are influenced by the Sun, the planet of confidence and vitality. What better way to celebrate summer than by soaking up some rays? A day at the beach can lift your spirits. As a natural-born leader, you often face a hefty load of responsibility. Make sure to take a day for some self-care when you need it most; you can pause the deadlines and problems for a while. Summertime beach weather is here and now.

Born on the 2nd, 11th, 20th, or 29th — Reconnect Over Ice Cream

As relationship-oriented peacekeepers, these birth dates would love to spend one-on-one time with someone special this summer. Ruled by the Moon, they possess profound compassion and empathy. This summer, you may be pleasantly surprised by who you connect with deeply or who you reconnect with. Satisfying your sweet tooth while reminiscing about the past is a wonderful way to bring a smile to your face before the sunny season transitions into fall.

Born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st, or 30th — Say Yes to Every Pool Party

The pool party is optional, but these birthdays have a great opportunity to socialize before summer ends. If you've been feeling like hiding away from the world lately, this is the perfect reason to get out and connect with others. People are eager to chat with you, help distract you from your burdens, and spark your curiosity. Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion, now is the time to let your playful side shine. Before summer wraps up, you might even make a new friend or two by stepping out of your comfort zone.

Born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd, or 31st — Finally Use Your Vacation Days

As hard workers, individuals born on these dates often exceed expectations. Ruled by Uranus, the planet of innovation, you're eager to showcase your best work. Before summer ends, take the time to step away from your responsibilities and connect with your playful side. Even if you are retired from career matters, be cautious about taking on excessive responsibilities or caretaking roles that might prevent you from pursuing what you truly want to do. You deserve a break.

Born on the 5th, 14th, or 23rd — Take an Impromptu Road Trip

A road trip can provide the change of perspective you need. Ruled by Mercury, the planet of curiosity, your best self emerges when you're mentally engaged. Take the path less traveled, drive without a specific destination in mind, or head straight to a place you’ve always wanted to visit. Whether traveling solo or going on family trips, late summer encourages you to explore the world beyond your immediate surroundings.

Born on the 6th, 15th, or 24th — Host the Ultimate Backyard BBQ

When you get people together, lasting memories are made. These birth dates are associated with Venus, the planet of relationships and connection. Before summer ends, make the most of your magnetism by inviting neighbors, friends, family, and loved ones to relax and enjoy some good food together. You’ll be surprised at how much more uplifted you feel with others in your space. As a caretaker, you'll love to host a summer soiree.

Born on the 7th, 16th, or 25th — Watch a Sunset in Silence

As introspective souls, these birth dates are meant to recharge in solitude before summer ends. Guided by Neptune, the ethereal planet of spirituality, you have a deep soul. While you're often busy tending to others, it's time for you to take a moment to yourself before summer fades away. You'd be surprised by the clarity that arrives while watching the sunset in silence. Nature has a way of grounding your sensitive spirit.

Born on the 8th, 17th, or 26th — Treat Yourself to a Splurge Day

For someone who works as hard as you do, it's only fair to play just as hard! Ruled by Saturn, the planet of karma, you've always shown wisdom beyond your years. However, all work and no play makes for a dull life, doesn't it? Treat yourself to the gadget that has caught your eye. Think of it as a gift for yourself, just as you would for a special loved one. You deserve to indulge in yourself before summer comes to an end.

Born on the 9th, 18th, or 27th — Have a Bonfire Night

Ruled by the fiery planet Mars, you feel most alive when you embrace your passions. A bonfire night—a gathering with loved ones or even a solo experience—can reignite your spirit as summer comes to an end. Whether it's in your backyard or on a camping trip, you'll find joy under the starry sky, with the flames crackling and soothing your nerves.

Matt Damon might have undergone an impressive physical transformation for The Odyssey, but the 55-year-old actor has also revealed he wasn't the only one who got in shape for 2026's blockbuster hit of the summer.

During a recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Damon revealed that, in several key scenes of the film, a female stunt performer named Devyn Dalton acted as his stand-in, specifically in scenes where his character faced off against a towering enemy Laestrygonians.

“When we did the force perspective stuff with the Laestrygonians… there were these stuntmen who were all seven feet and then they got stunt men who were under five feet," Damon explained. "My double was a woman, a female stunt performer who had the greatest arms I’ve ever seen. When she came into the catering tent, it was the first time I met her. I went up and hugged her and thanked her for all the work she put in.”

“So there are those shots in the movie where you see these giants looming over me, and so it was almost 100 percent my arms in the movie, but you gotta give it up where it’s due,” he continued.

Arriving in theaters earlier this month, The Odyssey follows Damon's ancient Greek warrior Odysseus as he attempts to return home from the Trojan War. While en route, he faces off against a myriad of challenges and enigmatic gods, monsters and other formidable foes, all the while his wife (Anne Hathaway) and son (Tom Holland) eagerly await his return.

In addition to Damon, Hathaway and Holland, the film features an ensemble cast that includes the likes ofZendaya, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Lupita Nyong’o, John Leguizamo, Elliot Page, Mia Goth, Corey Hawkins, Jon Bernthal, Samantha Morton, Travis Scott and Benny Safdie, among many others.

The latest film from director Christopher Nolan, it has won universal acclaim from audiences and critics alike.

Sharon Stone is opening up about her harrowing experience quitting marijuana and her stroke medication.

The beloved actress, 68, who is best known for roles in Casino, Basic Instinct, and Total Recall, headed to TV with a role on HBO’s hot series Euphoria. Also a successful painter and philanthropist, the star has seen a variety of ups and downs over the years. That includes the stroke she suffered almost 25 years ago.

“I got off one of my medications that I was on for my stroke last September, and they said I couldn’t go off of it,” Stone told Variety in a new interview. “They said, ‘You can’t go off of it. You can never go off of it.’ I’m like, ‘I’m going off it,’ and it was like going off of f---ing heroin. I was sick as a frigging dog for four and a half months. I just thought, ‘I want my life back.’ I had gotten off the majority of the drugs over the years that they had put me on. But I was like, ‘I want a drug-free life.’”

After that harrowing experience, she also decided she wanted to quit smoking marijuana.

“Once I got off that, I decided I’m going to quit smoking pot. And because I think they put so much stuff in it now — they really do — when I stopped smoking pot, I also got sick. It’s not like you’re pulling it out of the ground anymore. It’s not like when we were kids. I got pretty sick for a month. I went to my neurologist, and he said, ‘Sharon, I’ve had people dying in the emergency room from marijuana,’” she elaborated.

Bigger isn’t always better, especially when it comes to home renovations.

New information has come out regarding the tragic car accident that killed "Godzilla vs. Kong" actress Kaylee Hottle. She was 19 years old.

Authorities told TMZ that Hottle was a passenger in a 1995 Honda Accord that was involved in an accident in Maryland on Tuesday, July 21. The driver "veered off" the road and "slammed into a roadside ditch early Tuesday."

Speed is believed to be a factor in the crash.

Hottle was rushed to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Her father, Joshua Hottle, told TMZ that his daughter's heart stopped on the way to the hospital.

The outlet further reports that there were two others in the vehicle at the time of the crash, with the 19-year-old driver having suffered injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening. The other passenger declined treatment at the scene.

"The Frederick County Sheriff's Office says deputies and fire and rescue personnel responded to the single-vehicle crash around 2:52 AM. The crash remains under investigation by the sheriff’s office traffic unit," TMZ writes.

Hottle's father also shared a video on Facebook where he provided details on the accident using American Sign Language. He added that he was flying from Texas to Maryland to claim his daughter’s body.

Hottle is a deaf actress who is best known for her role in Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Her parents are also members of the deaf community.

Tributes poured in following news of Hottle's death.

"This is absolutely heartbreaking. She brought so much warmth and authenticity to her role, and her future was incredibly bright," one person wrote.

"Gone too soon Rest in peace Kaylee Hottle. She will always be remembered for her performance as Jia," another person commented.

"Sending love and strength to her family and the Deaf community. Rest in peace," someone posted.
