‘A-Team’ Legend Mr. T, 74, Is Still Sporting His Gold Chains Almost 40 Years After the Show’s End

Tue, 06/02/2026 - 9:22am

Mr. T became a household name in the '80, but the star of The A-Team is still raring to go in 2026.

Mr. T, 74, rose to stardom in 1982's Rocky III, followed by the role of Sergeant B. A. Baracus on The A-Team, which ran from 1983 to 1987. He was also known as a professional wrestler, and became a classic source of '80s catchphrases like "I pity the fool!"

In the present day, Mr. T tends to fly under the radar. However, he did make a rare appearance alongside Breaking Bad star Dean Norris, who was delighted to run into the star at a recent event. Sporting an American flag bandana on his head and a long gold necklace, Mr. T reminded us why he skyrocketed to fame several decades ago.

"When you need the A Team," Norris captioned his photo and video, which showed the duo catching up.

Where Did Mr. T Get His Nickname?

Born Laurence Tureaud, Mr. T adopted his name while working as a bodyguard for high-profile clients after serving in the US Army's Military Police Corps, according to HELLO!.

"So when I was 18 years old, when I was old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man. I self-ordained myself Mr. T, so the first word out of everybody's mouth is 'Mr," he previously told Playboy.

Mr. T's Cancer Battle

While he may look like the ultimate tough guy, Mr. T has no problem opening up about his battle with cancer. In 1995, a biopsy led to a diagnosis of a rare type of T-cell lymphoma.

"Can you imagine that?!," Mr. T told Coping with Cancer magazine. "Cancer with my name on it, personalized cancer."

Despite the struggle, Mr. T said the journey through cancer has made him even more of a fighter.

"I have grown into a cancer fighter. I am a soldier, a veteran at that," Mr. T shared. "Cancer wants to fight me again. I am not afraid this time. Fighting cancer for the third time, can I still believe in God? Yes, I can, and stronger than before."

Beloved Influencer Found Dead in Her Home at 30

Tue, 06/02/2026 - 9:14am

Mexican influencerPaola Márquez has died. She was 30.

Márquez, a lifestyle content creator who had built a large following across social media, was found dead inside her home in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, on May 30, according to People and local outlet El Sol de San Luis.

Her father, Hércules Márquez Balderas, confirmed the news in a Facebook post, writing, "One day we will be together again, rest in peace my princess!"

View this post on Instagram

According to People, citing El Sol de San Luis and the State Attorney General's Office, Márquez was found unresponsive inside her apartment. Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene. Authorities are investigating the case as a possible suicide.

Márquez was originally from Huehuetlán, San Luis Potosí, according to multiple Spanish-language reports. She had built a large online audience across TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, where she posted lifestyle content, travel photos, fashion posts, humor, viral trends, and personal reflections.

People reported that Márquez had more than 2 million followers across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. Other outlets reported that she had roughly 1.7 million followers on TikTok, where much of her audience followed her for her candid videos and daily-life content.

Paola Márquez’s Final Posts Drew Attention From Fans

In the days before her death, several of Márquez's final social media posts drew renewed attention from fans. According to Prensa Libre, one Instagram post shared on May 28 showed Márquez in an elevator and included the message, "Why would you stay in a place where you have more to lose than to gain?"

People reported that Márquez appeared to have last posted on social media on May 29, one day before she was found dead. In the TikTok video, she said, "I manifested, but I think I manifested backwards, because the little I had is slipping away."

Infobae also reported that another video, recorded before her death, showed Márquez speaking openly about emotional exhaustion and wanting to distance herself from some people. In the clip, she reportedly said she could not sleep and felt tired of being happy one day and "completely broken" the next.

Still, authorities have not publicly linked any of Márquez's social media posts to the circumstances of her death. Infobae reported that, as of its article, officials had not released a confirmed cause of death or forensic results.

After news of her death spread, fans began leaving tributes in the comments of her final post.

"Fly high, Paola Márquez," one person wrote, according to People. "What sad news, I've been following her since the very beginning," another fan commented.

"Rest in peace, kiddo," a third wrote.

Márquez's death also prompted condolences from the community of Huehuetlán. Her father later shared on Facebook that the family held a funeral mass on June 1.

This Underrated European Destination Just Beat Out the Alps and Iceland for Natural Beauty

Tue, 06/02/2026 - 9:10am

If your summer travel daydreams involve crisp mountain air, jagged peaks and crystal-clear glacial lakes—but the thought of fighting massive crowds in the Swiss Alps or paying premium peak-season prices in Iceland makes you want to stay home—a surprising new study has officially found your next vacation destination.

With travelers increasingly looking beyond Europe's busiest, most congested hotspots in search of quieter, more authentic outdoor experiences, active travel specialists Love Velo recently conducted a massive data analysis to find the continent's most genuinely untouched landscapes.

The team analyzed 100 of Europe's best-known national parks against a strict blueprint of environmental factors, scoring each destination on its preserved habitats, local biodiversity, average elevation, lack of light pollution and overall geographical scale.

While traditional heavyweights like Norway and France were expected to sweep the top spots, the surprise crown went to Rila National Park in Bulgaria. Long sidelined by mainstream tourists, this stunning Balkan escape topped the European rankings thanks to its 28 strictly preserved habitats, a lofty average elevation of 1,413 meters and remarkably low levels of human impact.

For outdoor enthusiasts looking to map out an unforgettable itinerary, the park is home to the iconic Seven Rila Lakes—a dramatic cluster of glacial pools stacked up a mountain terrace—alongside rugged hiking trails, deep valleys and dense forests that make it a paradise for wildlife spotting.

Beyond Bulgaria's unexpected victory, the wider dataset uncovered some fascinating geographic trends across the continent for travelers looking to plan a unique road trip. Spain emerged as a major powerhouse for preserved wilderness, accounting for a whopping 30 percent of the top ten list with standout rankings for its Sierra Nevada, Cabañeros and Aigüestortes national parks.

Meanwhile, if you are a traveler who packs a pair of binoculars everywhere you go, Finland’s Lemmenjoki National Park was revealed to have the highest bird diversity in the study, boasting an incredible 389 recorded species.

For those who want to chase pure altitude, France and Italy lead the continent for sheer height, with each country boasting two separate national parks that average over 2,000 meters in elevation. Finally, if you simply want to get lost in endless, sprawling wilderness, the Scandinavian parks completely dominated the rankings for size, making up four out of the five largest protected areas in the entire study.

Whether you are looking to trek through the massive forests of the north or discover the hidden glacial lakes of the Balkans, leaning into these lesser-known eco-destinations is the ultimate way to experience Europe's raw, natural beauty without the crowds.

The NYPD May Have Just Dropped a Major Hint About Taylor Swift's Wedding

Tue, 06/02/2026 - 9:08am

The NYPD may have just accidentally revealed a key logistic about Taylor Swiftand Travis Kelce's highly anticipated wedding.

In a budget hearing on Monday where police commissioner Jessica Tisch was making her case for overtime funding to the NYPD, she laid out the upcoming calendar of events that would require extra security — and couldn't help but mention the "Love Story" singer's wedding.

"July Fourth, the Sail 250, which is like the president's military parade in New York City, NBA Finals, World Cup...potentially Taylor Swift's wedding," she said.

To which she quickly followed up, "just kidding."

View this post on Instagram

“Any one of those on their own would be a big deal in New York City,” Tisch also said, according to New York's Pix 11. “All of them taken together are unprecedented and are going to place unusual, and I would say historic, demands on the New York City Police Department.”

While the high-profile couple has not confirmed any wedding plans, the slip comes weeks after Page Six reported that the singer and the NFL player would tie the knot in the Big Apple on July 3.

Page Six also reported this week that, as invitations have gone out, Miles Teller and his wife Keleigh Sperry have been left off the guest list.

The apparent snub is particularly notable as Teller exclusively chatted about the wedding with Parade in November.

“That is going to be, I imagine, one impressive wedding,” he said.

Among those reported to be on the guest list areSelena Gomezand her husband, Benny Blanco, Ed Sheeranand his wife Cherry Seaborn, Gigi Hadid, and Zoë Kravitz. However, guests are doing a good job at staying mum on the celebration.

On Monday night, Queer Eye star Antoni Porowski dodged the question about his invite when appearing on Watch What Happens Live.

Another invitee in question is Prince William who recently joked he was "hoping" for an invitation.

“I’m hoping and I’m sure there might be an invitation around but we’ll see," he said on a UK radio show.

Regardless, whatever the final details may be, Swift will feel right at home saying "I do" in NYC — after all, as she sings, "it's been waiting."

‘Brady Bunch’ Star Says ‘Nobody Cared’ About the Show When They Were Filming in the '70s

Tue, 06/02/2026 - 9:06am

Eve Plumb revealed that no one cared about The Brady Bunch when it was being filmed in the early 1970s—including studio executives.

During a May 2026 interview with Houston Public Media, the former ABCsitcom star recalled that the show was filmed at a fast pace, with two episodes completed per week at one point, to get the Brady cast off the Paramount studio lot.

“They did because we were the ones that nobody cared about,” Plumb, 68, explained in the interview. "You know, Mod Squad was on the lot and Odd Couple. So that's where the money was going, and so they literally tried …we did it. We made two episodes a week. It lasted about 10 minutes because it was just too hard.“

Plumb noted that The Brady Bunch scripts were 20 to 25 pages and that it took “about an hour” to shoot one page of dialogue for the single-camera sitcom.

“We did become known as the ‘one-take Bradys.’ … It doesn't allow for art or exploration, but gets it in the can,” she added.

RELATED:Eve Plumb Opens Up About One of Her Saddest TV Roles

Plumb, who played middle child Jan Brady on The Brady Bunch from 1969 to 1974, also shared that her TV father, Robert Reed, took issue with the show’s unrealistic shooting dynamic, which often included the whole family in one scene.

In a Q&A at a bookstore in New York City to promote her memoir, Happiness Included, Plumb explained, “At one point, yes, we were called the one-shot Brady's because they were always pressuring us to go faster, faster, faster to save money. Because we were the poor stepchild on the lot. Which is surprising because we had the biggest stage of a lot. We were just shooting so quickly, and that's one of the things that Robert Reed was always fighting against, was saying, you know, they would just line us up. ‘Line them up and shoot them.’ And he's like, ‘People don't stand around their living rooms like this.’"

“They tried to make us do an episode in two and a half days instead of five to save money,” Plumb added. “So, you know, we were always the ones that were having to pay.”

While The Brady Bunch remains a TV classic—it has never been off the air in 50 years—  Plumb told The Morning Show that the cast members “never felt like big stars” when the show originally aired.

"It never really hit the big ratings,” she said. “It was never really well thought of in the critiques. Everybody sort of looked down on it as fluff and not serious fare."

Lost 1999 Song Finally Cracks the Billboard Hot 100 27 Years Later

Tue, 06/02/2026 - 8:51am

Nearly three decades after it was recorded, a long-shelved Michael Jackson song has finally become a Billboard Hot 100 hit.

For the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending in June 6, Jackson's "Chicago" debuts at No. 30, marking the first time the track has ever appeared on the chart. The achievement gives the King of Pop his 47th career Hot 100 entry and adds another unexpected chapter to the renewed commercial success sparked by the blockbuster Michael biopic.

The song also made its debut on this week's Most Streamed Songs chart, debuting at No. 21.

What makes the chart debut particularly remarkable is the song's unusual history. Although fans are only now embracing "Chicago" as a hit, Jackson actually recorded the track in 1999 during sessions for what would eventually become his 2001 album Invincible.

Originally titled "She Was Loving Me," the song was written by Cory Rooney, who later recalled to biographer Damien Shields that Jackson loved the track immediately after hearing a rough demo.

According to Rooney, Jackson recorded the song at New York City's Hit Factory during sessions that stretched across several weeks in the spring of 1999. The singer reportedly became so attached to the track that he meticulously worked through multiple vocal takes and personally assembled the final vocal performance.

Despite the enthusiasm surrounding the recording, "She Was Loving Me" never made the final track list for Invincible. Instead, the song remained unheard by the public for more than a decade.

Following Jackson's death in 2009, Rooney revisited the recording, and the track underwent several revisions before producer Timbaland reworked it for Jackson's 2014 posthumous album Xscape. By then, the song had been renamed "Chicago," after its memorable opening lyric: "I met her on my way to Chicago."

Even with the push surrounding Xscape, the song never reached the Billboard Hot 100 during its original release cycle. Its chart success has come 12 years later, fueled by a massive resurgence in interest surrounding Jackson's catalog.

The renewed attention has been driven largely by Michael, the hit biopic chronicling Jackson's life and career. Since the film's release, multiple Jackson classics have surged across streaming platforms and charts worldwide, with songs like "Billie Jean," "Human Nature," "Beat It" and "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" all returning to the Billboard Hot 100 earlier this year.

Now, one of the most surprising beneficiaries of that renewed interest is a song that fans never even heard during Jackson's lifetime.

For a track recorded in 1999, shelved for years, released posthumously in 2014 and overlooked by the Hot 100 at the time, finally reaching the chart in 2026 is an extraordinarily rare feat.

Nearly 27 years after Jackson first stepped into the studio to record it, "Chicago" has finally become a bona fide Billboard Hot 100 hit.

‘Death on the Lanai’ Is an Officially Licensed ‘Golden Girls’ Mystery That Will Warm Hearts

Tue, 06/02/2026 - 8:46am

There’s absolutely no doubt that we miss Rose, Blanche, Dorothy, and Sophia. The four Golden Girls characters captured our hearts, whether it was for their straight-forwardness, their scatterbrained adorableness, or their fun antics together.

Death on the Lanaiby Rachel Ekstrom Courage is the second novel in the Golden Girls Mystery series, officially licensed novels that capture the heart and soul of the show we fell in love with. This time, they’re heading out after receiving a mysterious invitation, which leads to a murder to solve.

Once again, Ekstrom Courage captures the essence of each of the four main characters. We get to see how they will always choose each other, and they stick together through thick and thin. They’re able to think on the spot, even if it does mean embarrassing each other — poor, Sophia! — and they use each other’s talents and skills to their advantage.

Yes, even Rose’s scatterbrained moments can turn into something necessary. She’s able to tell engaging stories, giving the women time to enact another plan, and throughout the novel, I found myself needing to do a binge-watch of The Golden Girlsonce again.

The mystery itself is relatively easy to guess, and it did mean a small knock of a star. Usually, there’s some sort of red herring in murder mysteries, but not in this case. Ekstrom Courage does try, but we know that the women are smart. They’re able to read between the lines, and we can easily believe them when they know the red herring is completely false, so it doesn’t quite have the weight and excitement that it should do.

That being said, there are some beautiful and bittersweet reveals at the end. Not only do we get to know a little more about Blanche through the memories of their host, but we also get details about other guests that help to shape the whole reason for the invitation in the first place. There is also a small twist in the events of the murder that I did appreciate.

There’s even a spark of romance at the end, and not for the woman that you would expect. However, the final moments made me grin, as once again, it proves that these women will always stick together. They may get on each other’s nerves at times, but they are best friends at heart, and there’s no reason to ever doubt that.

Another thing that I needed to get used to was the switch of the host’s name. Sometimes, Blanche will call him by the name that is his own, and then other times, everyone will refer to him by his artist name. I don’t want to give away the artist name, as it spoils some of the fun at the start of the novel, as the women are figuring out who sent the invite to the house and how they all end up at the party rather than the woman it was intended for.

Make sure you read all the way to the end. There’s a type of pie mentioned at the start of the novel as Blanche and the murdered host share, and that recipe is at the back. I know what I’m making this weekend!

Overall, Death on the Lanai is a cozy murder mystery that is going to warm your heart. It captures everything you could possibly need from the world of The Golden Girls, and my only wish is that we could see it play out on the screen. Of course, that can never happen, but I’ll stick to enjoying Ekstrom Courage’s stories. (Yes, Death By Cheesecake is the first novel in the series, and also a must-read.) 

Death on the Lanai is now available on shelves and via audiobook, which is more than worth listening to while reading for a more immersive experience.

Iconic Impressionist and ‘Saturday Night Live’ Star Turns 71

Tue, 06/02/2026 - 8:42am

Comedian and legendary Saturday Night Live actor Dana Carvey turns 71 today!

Born on June 2, 1955, in Missoula, Montana, the actor was raised in San Carlos, California. His father (Bud Carvey) taught business law, and his mother (Billie Dahl) was a school teacher. Unlike his parents, Carvey (very obviously) didn’t pursue a career in education. Instead, he majored in Communication Arts at San Francisco State.

The would-be SNL star, who always had a penchant for impressions, started his stand-up career performing in Bay Area comedy clubs during the late 1970s. He moved to Los Angeles in the early ‘80s and landed a TV role on the sitcomOne of the Boys, starring alongside Mickey Rooney and Nathan Lane.

While his first real role was an uncredited part in the movie Halloween II, in 1984 Carvey made his first major big-screen debut as a mime/waiter in Rob Reiner’s iconic film, This Is Spinal Tap. Two years later, Carvey joined the cast of SNL, launching him into super-stardom.

The 71-year-old’s SNL career spanned almost a decade, from 1986 to 1993. Carvey created legendary characters (such as The Church Lady, The Grumpy Old Man, Hans, and Massive Head-Wound Harry) and famously parodied top political figures and Hollywood celebrities, including George H.W. Bush, Ross Perot, and Johnny Carson.  

Known for creating catchy phrases, Carvey made in-real-life memes before they were a thing. Most notably, The Church Lady’s “Well, isn’t that special”, George H.W. Bush’s “Not gonna do it”, and Derek Stevens’ “Choppin’ Broccoli” song.

Even though he was already a beloved SNL cast member, in 1989 his career skyrocketed when Carvey appeared as Garth Algar alongside Mike Myers’ Wayne Campbell. The pair parlayed the characters into a franchise, releasing Wayne’s World in 1992 and Wayne’s World 2 in 1993. 

Carvey appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman in 1992, speaking about the success of Wayne’s World: “It’s all over the world, who knew? I mean, I think it’s kind of frightening myself.” 

After leaving SNL, Carvey went on to star in Clean Slate, Trapped in Paradise, and The Master of Disguise. He also voiced characters in the animated films Hotel Transylvania 2 and The Secret Lives of Pets 2. He released a Netflix stand-up special, Dana Carvey: Straight White Male, 60, in 2016 and currently hosts “The Fly on the Wall” podcast with fellow SNL alum David Spade.

These 4 Birth Months Are Total Divas

Tue, 06/02/2026 - 8:39am

Some people walk into a room quietly. Others walk in like the room has been waiting for them all day. Those people? Usually born in one of these four months. Being a diva is not always a bad thing, either. Sometimes it just means you know your worth, love attention, and refuse to settle for less. These birth months tend to carry that energy naturally, whether they mean to or not.

Each birth month has its own personality traits, and those born in March, July, October, and December seem to have mastered the art of being unforgettable. A diva isn’t someone who causes chaos. Sometimes it’s just the person who refuses to dim their light for anyone else.

March

People born in March have a way of making everything feel dramatic, emotional, and somehow beautiful at the same time. They can be sweet one minute and impossible the next, but that’s part of their charm. March-born people love deep conversations, big gestures, and being appreciated for everything they bring to the table. Ignore them for too long, and you’ll definitely hear about it later. Whether you’re a dreamy Pisces or bold Aries, March personalities rarely blend into the background.

July

July individuals are emotional royalty. They feel things deeply, love hard, and expect the same energy in return. You will know if they feel overlooked, because the mood in the room will change immediately. They can turn a simple story into a full performance, complete with facial expressions and dramatic pauses. At the same time, they are incredibly loyal and protective of the people they love, whether you’re a sensitive Cancer or confident Leo, July-born people know how to command attention without even trying.

RELATE?: These 4 Birth Months Are Anti-Drama

October

October people have expensive taste, strong opinions, and a natural ability to make everything look effortless. They are social, charming, and usually know exactly how to work a crowd. But make no mistake, they can absolutely be divas when things don’t go their way. October-born people expect respect, good energy, and a certain level of treatment from everyone around them. They aren’t afraid to cut people off if the vibe feels wrong. Whether you’re a balanced Libra or intense Scorpio, October personalities tend to leave a lasting impression.

December

December babies bring loud energy wherever they go. They are adventurous, outspoken, and usually the friend who convinces everyone else to do something reckless but fun. They thrive being the center of attention. Because December people are often brutally honest, they can sometimes come across as a little dramatic or demanding. Still, people are drawn to their confidence and larger-than-life personalities. Whether you’re a free-spirited Sagittarius or a determined Capricorn, December-born people know how to own a room.

Kurt Russell's 'Escape from New York' to Receive a Brand-New Remake from Zack Snyder

Tue, 06/02/2026 - 8:38am

After almost two decades of on-again, off-again production, the long-awaited Escape from New York remake is officially a go.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the brand-new remake of the beloved '80s action film will be directed by Zack Snyder, the mainstream filmmaker behind such crowd-pleasing hits as 300, Watchmen, Dawn of the Dead and several DCEU films.

Originally directed by Halloween icon John Carpenter, Escape from New York followed Kurt Russell's eye patch-clad ex-commando Snake Plissken in a grim dystopian future where New York has been transformed into a maximum security prison.

After the President of the United States (Donald Pleasence) crash-lands in the middle of Manhattan, Russell's hardened criminal is forced to sneak onto the island and rescue the commander-in-chief from the various gangs ruling New York.

Among the most popular entries in either Carpenter or Russell's filmography, Escape from New York earned warm reviews at the time of its release, sparking a short-lived franchise that ended after one ill-fated sequel.

Over the years, multiple attempts have been made to launch a remake of the film, all of which have ultimately failed to get off the ground. In the past, several prominent directors were slated to oversee the project, including Len Wiseman, Brett Ratner, Breck Eisner, Robert Rodriguez, Leigh Whannell and the filmmaking duo known as Radio Silence.

As of yet, it's not year clear how faithful the new film will be to the original, although multiple outlets have reported Snyder sees the project as a "reimagining" of Escape from New York rather than an outright remake.

Interestingly, the director also made his intent clear to use more practical effects reminiscent of the original, contrasting significantly from the CGI-laden presentation of his more recent superhero films.

The upcoming movie will be produced by Picture Company partnersAndrew Rona and Alex Heinemanas part of their deal with StudioCanal. Similarly, Snyder will also produce the project, along with his Stone Quarry production company partners Deborah Snyder and Wesley Coller.

Keeping indoor plants thriving can sometimes feel like a delicate balancing act, but if you have a collection of indoor greenery, one of the easiest ways to simplify your routine is with self-watering pots. These low-maintenance planters take the guesswork out of your plant care routine by using a built-in wick system to deliver a consistent, steady supply of moisture directly to the roots.

If you're looking for an affordable option, the Foukus Self-Watering Planter 5-Pack is worth considering. Right now, they're on sale for 41% off at Walmart, bringing the price down from $29 to just $17. That works out to less than $4 per pot, making this set an excellent value for anyone looking to upgrade multiple plants at once.

The set includes five different planter sizes ranging from 5 to 7 inches in diameter. The variety allows you to accommodate different types of small and medium-sized plants without having to purchase separate containers.

The planters are available in black, green, and white, making it easy to choose a color that works with your decor style. Their clean, minimalist design looks right at home in a wide range of interiors or even on outdoor patios and balconies. The simple aesthetic lets your plants remain the focal point while still adding a polished touch to your space.

Each pot features drainage holes along with a built-in reservoir tray that stores water beneath the planter. A water-absorbing wick transfers moisture from the reservoir into the soil as needed, helping maintain more consistent hydration levels. Depending on your plant's needs and environmental conditions, you may only need to refill the reservoir every 7 to 14 days. For busy plant owners, that convenience can make a noticeable difference.

They're also suitable for a wide variety of plants, including succulents, cacti, snake plants, herbs, flowers, and many common houseplants.

This bestseller earned over 1,500 five-star ratings. One shopper described the set as a “cute option” for their succulents, writing, “It’s a more suitable option for drainage, water collection, and has a wick to provide moisture. My plants have doubled in size after transplanting — I’m very happy with this product.”

Another shared, “These plant pots are absolutely perfect, adorable, and easy to use because they are self-watering. They absolutely fulfill the need that I have for indoor use and smaller to medium house plants.”

‘Frasier’ Star Peri Gilpin, 64, Is Ageless on the Red Carpet Over Two Decades After the Show’s End

Tue, 06/02/2026 - 8:28am

Peri Gilpin rose to stardom on the hit sitcomFrasier, but the star looks absolutely ageless in a rare red carpet appearance.

The beloved actress, 64, skyrocketed to fame in the role of Roz, Dr. Frasier Crane’s sassy radio station colleague on the beloved NBC series, which ran from 1993 to 2004. Starring alongside Kelsey GrammerDavid Hyde Pierce, John Mahoney, and Jane Leeves, Gilpin became a TV staple in the long-running series. When it ended, she went on to appear in the ABC Family drama Make It or Break It, and even reprised her Frasier role in the reboot from 2023 to 2024.

Flash forward to 2026, and Gilpin looked stunning while attending Marilyn Monroe's Centennial Celebration at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, California. Dressed all in black and sporting a red lip, the beauty appeared ageless. It's hard to believe it's been more than 22 years since the original Frasier series ended.

How Did Gilpin Feel About Bringing Roz Back?

When the time came to bring back Frasier for the reboot, Gilpin didn’t seem to hesitate one bit. In an interview with Screen Rant, the actress shared that Roz was her favorite character to play. In fact, she had a hunch she might end up playing Roz again.

“It’s so fun. It’s a dream. I always sort of weirdly thought I might play Roz again. I don’t know why. And it feels so good to revisit that character. It’s my favorite character I’ve ever played,” Gilpin shared. “I love all the things about her and I love playing her at this age and finding out what’s going on in her life now. It’s so fun.”

What’s Gilpin Up to These Days?

With the Frasier reboot done, Gilpin has teamed up with someone special in her life: her daughter. Last year, the actress and her daughter, Ava Vincent, an accomplished graphic designer, joined the producing team for Jo – The Little Women Musical.

“Theater has always been my first love,” said Gilpin in a release. “So Ava and I are thrilled to come on board the producing team of Jo – The Little Women Musical. This legendary story has resonated for families for years, and the beautiful and creative score of this new stage adaptation will help introduce this tale to new generations. We see such amazing potential in the show and are excited to see where it goes next!”

Netflix Finally Confirms ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 22’s Arrival Date (And It’s Earlier Than Normal)

Tue, 06/02/2026 - 8:23am

If you’ve been waiting for Grey’s Anatomy Season 22 to come to Netflix before you binge-watch it, then you’re in luck. The date has been confirmed, and it’s a little earlier than we’re used to.

All 18 episodes of Grey’s Anatomy Season 22 will drop on Netflix on June 6, 2026. This marks 30 days after the finale aired on ABC, which is the usual timeframe. The part that makes this earlier than normal is that the finale aired in early May rather than later in the month, so Netflix gets the episodes to kick-start the summer!

A Milestone Episode for ‘Grey’s Anatomy’

The second episode of the season marked the 450th milestone. It’s an impressive feat, especially in today’s world where so few shows are getting past a couple of seasons.

Grey’s Anatomy Season 22 picked up with the reveal of the aftermath of the explosion in the hospital. We learned who survived and who didn’t, in a traumatic night for many of the doctors, nurses, and patients.

The season also saw the exits of Teddy and Owen, with many fans wondering whether they should have ended up together or not. Then there was the climactic bridge collapse, which saw the lives of multiple people on the line, including Meredith’s love interest, Nick.

ABC

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 23 Is Confirmed

When the new season arrives on Netflix, it will mark the first time the entire series up to this point is available. That will change in the fall, when Grey’s Anatomy Season 23 premieres. It is confirmed for a fall return on Thursdays, ending the thrilling night of first responder and medical dramas.

There is also a spinoff confirmed for the midseason, which will be set in Texas and not include any current Grey's characters.

Episodes go to Hulu the day after they air on ABC. It’s only 30 days after the finale that they arrive on Netflix under the current licensing deal. You can still stream all episodes of the long-running medical drama on Hulu as well as on Netflix.

Celebrity Cruises Just Loaded Its Loyalty Program With Massive New Perks for Frequent Flyers at Sea

Tue, 06/02/2026 - 8:10am

If you're a dedicated cruiser who loves the polished, premium vibe of a Celebrity Cruises ship, your loyalty to the fleet is about to get a whole lot sweeter.

In a major move designed to reward its most dedicated return travelers, the cruise line is rolling out a substantial expansion to its popular Captain’s Club loyalty program. Starting June 11, 2026, the brand is introducing two brand-new milestone tiers—bringing the total to five distinct milestone levels—offering a wave of fresh, point-specific benefits and rewards for high-tier cruisers navigating the gap between Elite Plus and Zenith status.

For mega-fans of the brand who frequently track their vacation milestones, Captain’s Club points are traditionally earned based on your stateroom category and the number of nights you sail. Under the new guidelines, Elite Plus members (who sit in the 750 to 2,999 club point bracket) and pinnacle Zenith members (who hold over 3,000 points) will earn more premium perks as they cross specific point thresholds, making those long-term loyalty goals much more lucrative.

The Sweet Spots: New Perks at 1,500 and 2,250 Points

The brand’s strategy focuses heavily on making the journey up the loyalty ladder feel immediately rewarding. Once a cruiser hits the 1,500-point mark, they will automatically accrue 480 minutes of complimentary premium Wi-Fi—which is double the connectivity minutes Elite Plus members currently receive. The threshold also provides a 20% discount on the line's celebrated specialty dining venues, a free photo from the shipboard photography team and a special surprise in-room amenity waiting for them on their milestone sailing.

The rewards get even juicier at the 2,250-point threshold. Cruisers at this level will enjoy a massive jump to 720 minutes of free premium Wi-Fi, alongside a 25% discount on specialty dining and two free professional photos. Best of all for travelers who hate the rush of debarkation morning, this level introduces a complimentary “Extend Your Stay” experience where available, allowing you to linger on board a little longer on departure day. When travelers finally cross the threshold into official Zenith status at 3,000 points, the baseline perks elevate to a 35% discount on specialty dining, three free photos, and another custom milestone cabin surprise.

Going Elite: The Wild Perks of Double and Triple Zenith

For the absolute elite tier of cruisers who practically live on the ocean, Celebrity has outlined jaw-dropping new packages for crossing the 6,000 and 9,000-point marks:

  • Double Zenith (6,000 Points): On top of all the standard 3,000-point perks, these legendary travelers will receive a free lunch at a specialty dining venue on embarkation day for every single sailing they book. They will also score a complimentary specialty dinner on any evening of their specific milestone cruise, paired with premium champagne delivered straight to their stateroom.
  • Triple Zenith (9,000 Points): At this ultimate peak, Celebrity is completely upgrading the standard free seven-night Bermuda or Caribbean cruise benefit by booking the loyalty winner directly into a luxurious Sky Suite. It also throws in a free specialty restaurant lunch on any day of every single sailing, a specialty dinner on their milestone voyage and celebratory champagne.

This loyalty expansion builds on the broader perks rollout from parent company Royal Caribbean Group. Thanks to the line’s ongoing "Status Match" program, Captain’s Club members can seamlessly carry their earned status and matching perks over if they decide to book a vacation on sister lines Royal Caribbean International or Silversea. It means your hard-earned loyalty benefits travel with you, whether you are boarding a mega-ship or an ultra-luxury expedition vessel.

Target's Charming Stoneware Serving Platter Is a 'Beautiful and Elegant' Statement Piece

Tue, 06/02/2026 - 8:05am

Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.

If you own actual heirloom china or serving pieces, you know how absolutely terrifying it can feel to use it. As someone who isn't the most graceful human being in the world, I'm terrified of breaking anything even remotely fragile that's been handed down through the generations. Of course, I try to tell myself that I should use it more often—there's no point in having it if I'm not enjoying it. But then the accident-prone part of me resurfaces and tells me to put it right back in the cabinet where it's safe.

Still, I love vintage-looking tableware, so it begs the question: what's a person to do? Well, for me, it means seeking out antique-like pieces that are still replaceable and make me less uneasy to use.

This Threshold platter also comes in a plain ivory colorway if you want to avoid pattern, but the blue floral toile is too pretty to pass up.

The reviews section of the product page are packed with folks who are completely charmed by the serving piece.

"This is a very sweet platter that gives off feminine and almost old-fashioned vibes," writes one person. "The blue is very pretty. It is not too bold and not so light as a baby blue. It’s a nice soft medium blue with a bit of a grey tone. It seems pretty heavy duty, even though it has a delicate look. It went through the dishwasher just fine."

So when you want the antiqued look but don't want to deal with the worry, you just have to get creative...or head to Target.

Rob Rausch Reveals the Secret Behind His 'Traitors' Victory — and His Biggest Advice for the New 'Love Island' Cast

Tue, 06/02/2026 - 8:00am

Tonight will see a new batch of sexy singles entering a familiar Fijian villa, as this year's edition of Love Island USA kicks off. The Peacock series has risen to meteoric heights over the past two summers, becoming one of today's biggest reality TV watercooler shows. And Rob Rausch was a part of that rise firsthand, a key cast member in the 2024 edition.

So, with a new group of islanders opening themselves up for Hideaway visits and possible heartbreak, when getting the chance to speak with the 27-year-old, Parade had to ask Rausch the biggest piece of advice he would give a future Love Island cast member. And, true to his contemplative nature, the answer was both simple, yet complicated.

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

"Just be yourself," he says. "I mean, it's really all you can do on a show like that. Just stay true to yourself. You're going to get caught up in a lot of mumbo jumbo, because you're going to get put in a lot of situations you would never get put in in real life, and it will be hard to be yourself at times. When in your life are you going to be in this situation? You're not."

"But just do your best to take a beat and look within yourself and do what is right for you and everyone that's around you and what's authentic. Because at the end of the day, if you are authentic, you know you can walk away and have no regrets. But when you do some things that are a little bit out of character, that's when you're going to be like, 'Damn!'"

Rausch himself has found his own recent perfect match: A partnership with Reese's. Just in time for the summer, the candy company is providing a couple of notable sweet treats, debuting a new Marshmallow Cup and bringing back the fan-favorite Strawberry PB&J Cup as limited-time offerings.

"I feel like it was a perfect partnership for me to be a part of," Rausch says about the new collaboration. "I pretty much lived off of peanut butter and jelly as a kid and a young teenager. I grew up vegetarian, so I didn't have a lot of meat, so peanut butter and jelly was like my go-to sandwich. So I was like, 'Okay, heck yes!' And also, as you know, I'm an outdoors guy. I've had a lot of s'mores in my day. It's right up there with a smore. I love the Marshmallow Cup. So it was a really easy partnership to say yes to."

Rausch's sweetness, as satisfying as a treat from Reese's, was a large contributor to his dominating success on The Traitors. The Love Island alum was one of the biggest stars of Season 4, utilizing his perception as a quiet Southern gentleman to his advantage to craft one of the most impressive Traitor victories we've ever seen. And, naturally, Parade also had to ask his biggest piece of advice for any future turret resident.

"Lie to yourself more than anyone else," he answers. "Convince yourself that you're not a Traitor, and it'll be a lot easier to convince everyone else."

"I was pretty much consistently gaslighting myself that I was a Faithful every single day," he reveals, "and it worked pretty good. During the day, I would not even let myself have Traitors' thoughts. And when people would talk to me about their theories, I would think through them as if I knew nothing of being a Traitor and didn't know who the Traitors were. I would just think through it logically as if I were Faithful and respond in that way, because it was authentic. And I feel like it read that way to everyone in the castle. So, yeah, I would say. I would say, figure out a way to believe that you're Faithful to a certain degree."

Related: Does Rob Rausch Have a Girlfriend? (And Is It Maura Higgins?!)

One of the most notable Faithful he snaked (for lack of a better term) was Maura Higgins. The two Love Island alums naturally gravitated towards one another, with Higgins being kept in the dark the entire season about Rausch's true affiliation until the literal final minutes of the season. Simultaneously fuming and impressed, the two seem to be back on good terms (especially with him delivering on his promise of getting her a Birken bag as a consolation prize). And, while losing out on the win, she'll be in the hunt for another, as she was one of the first announced for the cast of Dancing with the Stars this fall.

"It didn't [take me by surprise]," Rausch says about his reaction to hearing the news. "And I'm super excited for her. She really is excited about it, and I'm super happy for her. I hope she wins. She's never won anything before, so I want her to win. She did win Best Dressed on Traitors, though."

As for whether we could see Rausch himself in the ballroom, it's only appropriate for a man who just duped an entire superstar castle of celebs that he not give any information away.

"Oh, I don't know," he simply replies with a smile. "We'll see. Only one way to find out."
