Martha Stewart's Easter weekend was picture-perfect; up until one Instagram commenter decided to weigh in on her floral arrangements.

The lifestyle icon spent the holiday at her farm, sharing a series of festive posts documenting the occasion. Her Saturday, April 4 update featured an array of bunny decor displayed throughout her home, closing with a shot of a chick-shaped vase filled with an assortment of fresh daffodils. 

“Bunnies everywhere More to come Easter decorations are everywhere as the outdoors bursts into bloom ! Happy Easter weekend everyone !!,” Stewart wrote—but it was the comments section that generated the most attention.

One follower questioned the authenticity of the flowers, writing, "A lot of this looks super janky. And fake daffodils????? Has Martha been hacked?" Stewart did not let the remark go unaddressed. "where in the world do you see fake daffodils????" she clapped back.

The rest of the weekend unfolded with less controversy. On Easter Sunday, Stewart shared a photo of an impressive milk chocolate egg created by celebrated chocolatier Jacques Torres, noting in her caption: "Yes that is a giant milk chocolate egg! it was made by Jacques Torres !! It is so heavy and so fragrant And we vow to break it and share with everyone at the farm!!!!!"

Another post documented lunch with family, featuring a spread of artichokes and asparagus from a longtime supplier. "Lunch for Alexis and the grandchildren Giant artichokes vinaigrette and giant asparagus hollandaise courtesy of @mister_spear We ve been serving their incredible springtime produce for many many years !!! Thank you for 2026!! Happy Easter," she wrote.

Beyond the holiday festivities, Stewart has also been embracing the season in other fashionable ways. The 84-year-old has been seen sporting a Bandolier crossbody phone case—a leather accessory that has gained significant traction on TikTok and is available in an array of vibrant spring-ready colors.

Most recently, she was spotted out and about in New York City in early March holding her Remi Magnet case in brown croc/gold, which stood out against her bright yellow pantsuit. Previously, Stewart was photographed at New York Fashion Week in 2025 with a tan Crystal Wristlet version of the accessory, proving she's been a longtime fan of the functional brand.

Alyssa Milano won the hearts of America's TV viewers in the role of Samantha Micelli on the '80s sitcomWho's the Boss. Flash forward to 2026, and her adorable daughter Elizabeth could tackle the same role today!

Milano, 53, rose to stardom in the role, playing the daughter of Tony Micelli (played by Tony Danza, of course), who moves to suburban Connecticut from Brooklyn to work as a housekeeper for a wealthy advertising executive, played by Judith Light. Milano skyrocketed to fame as a pre-teen in the role, and grew up over the next decade in front of the cameras.

Now married to David Bugliari, Milano is a mother of two, and her daughter, Elizabeth, is basically her twin. If they even decide to do that Who's the Boss reboot, we know exactly who could play Samantha!

In a sweet Easter photo, Milano reflected on how fast her family has grown up.

"Too fast. Happy Easter. Love you all," she captioned the present-day photo, while also featuring one with her children as babies.

What Are the Chances of a Who’s the Boss Reboot?

Rumors of a Who’s the Boss reboot have gotten fans of the classic series curious in recent years. Last year, Milano told Entertainment Tonight that she thinks a reboot would be a great idea.

“I think it could be really funny because, in my head, Tony is gonna be the exact same character but everything around him is just changing and growing,” Milano told ET. “So I’m excited about the prospect. I think it could be really, really fun.”

However, Light isn’t sure she’d be able to commit to the show just yet. However, she made it clear that she also can’t guarantee what will happen in the future.

“In terms of where I am and the workload that I have right now, I don’t know what my availability would be,” the actress told PEOPLE last year. “When I started my career, I said I’d never do a soap opera and I’d never do a sitcom,” she continued. “Well, I did both those things. Then I said I would never marry an actor. And I did just that. So, I learned to never say never.”

Who could forget that classic series opening theme?

Funny lady Patrika Darbodeserves a toast today, as the ’90s icon is celebrating 78 years young.

Darbo — who you’ll recognize from a myriad of classic television shows (Punky Brewster, Growing Pains, Step by Step, Seinfeld), soap operas (Days of Our Lives, General Hospital, St. Elsewhere), and movies (Corrina, Corrina, Babe, Charlie Wilson’s War) — often takes to her social media to share peeks into her life with fans. 

In her latest Instagram post, the Acting Dead Emmy winner shares that she and her friends are at a Mexican food restaurant — “I’ve had a margarita!” she says — when she runs into Broadway legend Marsha Mason. Together, they show some love for ArtCo, a program that teaches kids to perform.

“We’ve been getting a little loaded here,” Darbo jokes, before passing the camera to Mason to share her background in theater, which includes starring in Cactus Flower (1965), The Good Doctor(1973), and Steel Magnolias (2005).

“She’s my competition,” Darbo quips. “I’m going to kill her later, but you don’t have to worry about that right now.”

“She’s funnier than me,” Mason jokes back.

Darbo then goes around the table introducing her pals, all allies and staffers of Los Angeles’ ArtCo production coaching company.

The actress and comedian is still booked and busy today. Following her voice-acting contributions to the adult animation series Haha, You Clowns, Darbo has short film Open House, TV series The Bubble, and drama You Did What? - A Father and Son Reunion all on the docket. 

Happy birthday!

If you are among the 40% of people in the U.S. with obesity, one of the most powerful actions you can take for your health is working with your healthcare provider to treat it. Obesity is nothing to be ashamed of; it’s a chronic health condition and is in no way a moral failure. For many people, maintaining a balanced diet and exercising regularly does not lead to significant weight loss. And that's okay!

That’s where prescription weight loss medications, such as Zepbound and Wegovy, come into play. Both of these medications are approved by the Food and Drug Administration and have been scientifically shown to lead to significant weight loss.

Related: Wegovy Could Be Silently Treating a Serious Health Risk You Didn't Know You Had

Here’s why that matters: Obesity is a significant risk factor for many life-threatening conditions, including cardiovascular disease, liver disease, kidney disease and several forms of cancer. This means that reversing obesity (with or without the help of prescription medication) reduces these risks. 

Maybe you are thinking about going on a weight loss medication, but aren’t sure which one is the best fit for you. You may be wondering if there’s one that works best or is least expensive, and what the difference is. With this in mind, we talked to obesity medicine doctors about how Zepbound and Wegovy (two of the most popular weight loss medications) compare.

How Zepbound and Wegovy Compare When It Comes To Cost and Effectiveness

Zepbound and Wegovy are both GLP-1 medications, so you may be wondering how they're different. “The difference between Zepbound and Wegovy comes down to both mechanism and magnitude of effect,” says Dr. Betsy Dovec, MD, FACS, a bariatric surgeon with BodyByBariatrics. 

Dr. Dovec explains that Wegovy is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, which means that it mimics a single incretin or gastrointestinal hormone that regulates appetite, slows gastric emptying and improves blood sugar control. 

Related: Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro—Is There a Difference Between These Medications? Here's What Experts Say

“Zepbound, on the other hand, is a dual agonist that targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which creates a more comprehensive metabolic effect. This dual pathway enhances satiety, improves insulin sensitivity and appears to have a greater impact on fat metabolism,” she says.

The difference between how Wegovy and Zepound work matters when it comes to their efficacy. According to Dr. Dovec, semaglutide (Wegovy) produces an average weight loss of approximately 10 to 15% of total body weight, while tirzepatide (Zepbound) has demonstrated closer to 15 to 20%.

“While both medications are highly effective, tirzepatide is often considered the more potent option based on current evidence,” she explains.

In addition to leading to greater weight loss, Dr. Wiljon Beltre, MD, a bariatric surgeon at Beltre Bariatrics in Orlando, Florida, notes that people on Zepbound tend to experience fewer side effects than people taking Wegovy.

How do the two medications compare when it comes to cost?

According to Dr. Beltre, if insurance doesn’t cover it, both medications can cost anywhere from between $200 to $500. Dr. Dovec adds to this, noting that she’s seen costs for both medications reach $1,000 per month out of pocket. “Cost remains one of the biggest barriers to access for both medications, and unfortunately, they are similar in that regard,” she explains.

If you are considering taking a weight loss medication, it’s important to talk to your health insurance company about what they cover, what they don’t cover and what your out-of-pocket costs will be.

How To Know Which One Is Right for You

Considering that Zepbound has been shown to lead to greater weight loss, is associated with fewer side effects and costs roughly the same as Wegovy, you may feel like you have a clear decision on which medication is right for you. But this is still something you should work with your doctor to determine. Both doctors say that there isn’t one GLP-1 that’s the perfect fit for everyone.

For example, Dr. Beltre says that if one of his patients has a history of heart attack or stroke, he typically prescribes Wegovy because it has a track record for reducing cardiovascular risk. But if a patient has severe insulin resistance or a significantly high body mass index, he typically prescribes Zepbound. 

“Determining which medication is the best fit is not simply about choosing the one with the highest percentage of weight loss, but rather about aligning the treatment with the individual patient. In my practice, this decision is based on a combination of factors, including baseline BMI, metabolic health, prior medication history, tolerance to side effects and patient lifestyle,” Dr. Dovec says.

In addition to these factors, Dr. Beltre emphasizes that what your insurance covers also plays a role in which one is the best fit for you. As both doctors previously explained, these drugs can be expensive. If someone is unable to afford a medication because of the cost, they won’t experience the benefits long-term. 

It bears repeating that there isn’t one perfect weight loss medication for everyone with obesity. It’s important to work with your doctor—and your health insurance provider—to determine which one is the best fit for you. The good news is that there are options. If one GLP-1 is causing you to experience significant side effects, switching to a different one may work better. 

In order for a GLP-1 to be most effective, it needs to be taken long-term. With this in mind, be honest with your doctor about any barriers that may prevent you from taking a medication continuously, whether it’s the cost, side effects or accessibility. Together, you can figure out which one is the best fit for you.

Fifty years ago, Myrtle Beach wasn’t the iconic vacation destination we know today. It was a modest town along the Grand Strand, a 60-mile stretch of soft sand and Atlantic shoreline that quietly drew regional visitors. But everything changed in the 1970s.

This was the decade when Myrtle Beach exploded onto the national scene. Families from across the East Coast began piling into station wagons, heading south in search of sun, surf, and something new.

Developers took notice. High-rise oceanfront hotels began reshaping the skyline, replacing small motels and beach cottages. Attractions multiplied almost overnight, from amusement parks, water slides, arcades, and shopping centers turned the once-sleepy beach town into a full-blown entertainment hub.

So what made Myrtle Beach stick while other beach towns faded in and out of popularity? It came down to a simple but powerful formula: accessibility, affordability, and variety.

Myrtle Beach is easy to get to, easy to navigate, and easy on the wallet. Families could spend a full week there without breaking the bank and still feel like they’d had a complete vacation.

Another key factor? Golf. The area rapidly built course after course, eventually earning its nickname as the “Golf Capital of the World.” That gave Myrtle Beach something many beach towns lacked: a year-round draw that went beyond summer.

Reinventing the Beach Experience

Fast forward to today, and Myrtle Beach has managed to do something many destinations struggle with: staying relevant without losing its identity.

The beach is still the star of the show. That same Grand Strand coastline continues to deliver sunrise views, warm Atlantic waters, and space for everything from peaceful morning walks to lively summer crowds.

But step off the sand, and you’ll find a destination that has grown far beyond its roots. The Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, completed in 2010, brought new energy to downtown. It’s now a lively stretch filled with restaurants, shops, and oceanfront views that feel straight out of a postcard.

Just steps away, the SkyWheel Myrtle Beach lifts visitors nearly 200 feet into the air, offering panoramic views of the coastline, especially unforgettable at sunset.

One of Myrtle Beach’s biggest strengths is how much there is to do beyond the shoreline.

Traveling with family? You’ll find endless mini-golf courses, classic arcades, and live entertainment theaters that carry on the town’s long-standing tradition of all-ages fun.

Looking for something more relaxed? Nearby escapes like Myrtle Beach State Park offer a quieter side of the area, with maritime forests, fishing piers, and scenic trails that feel worlds away from the busy boardwalk.

And for golfers, the appeal hasn’t faded. With over 100 courses in the region, Myrtle Beach remains one of the top golf destinations in the country, drawing players from beginners to pros year-round.

Whether you’re chasing childhood memories, planning a family getaway, or discovering it for the first time, Myrtle Beach continues to offer something that feels both familiar and new.

Though there's still plenty of exciting books to look forward to in the months ahead, Ben Lerner's new novel Transcription has already been called one of the best novels of 2026 among some of the prestigious publications in the literary world.

Lerner's first full-length novel in seven years, Transcription follows an unnamed writer attempting to piece together the final interview between himself and his aged, world-renowned mentor. Without a means to transcribe the interview word-by-word, the writer tries his best to recreate their conversation from memory, leading to some unexpected results along the way.

As with most of Lerner's novels, Transcription offers a moving meditation on life, memory, technology and the intricacies behind layered storytelling. A comparatively slim book of about 144 pages, it's also been praised for its surprising complexity yet overarching accessibility among mainstream readers, leading to its favorable reviews among critics.

Above all else, many critics felt the book perfectly illustrated the qualities that make a strong work of art worth audiences' time and attention, most especially in an age where there's growing concern about AI's place in the artistic community.

"Transcription reveals itself as more, far more, than an anthropology of digital modernity," wrote The Guardian. "Across generations there is strange weather, war and its collaterals, isolation, confusion. And it’s precisely in these moments of storytelling and connection that we might, just might, escape the noose of nowness, become touched by an enriched sensation of time."

"Above all, he makes a case that reading — our experience of decoding, observing patterns, interpreting and misinterpreting language — is not merely a means of accessing a version of reality but an event in itself, and a profound encounter," said The New York Times.

"This is slighter fare for Lerner but surprisingly potent given its length, interested in the ways that we manufacture our identities and how technology speeds the process along," echoed Kirkus Reviews.

Lerner's new book, Transcription, arrives on shelves April 7, 2026.

It's honestly kind of annoying how much bodies change. Just when you feel like you've got into a rhythm, you enter a new age bracket, and with it comes a whole new host of issues. The thing is, keeping up with your body means being adaptive, so your exercise and eating habits need to evolve as you grow older. If you're entering your 50s, the things that worked for your 20-year-old body won't hold up.

Whether your goal is to lose weight, build muscle, or just stay stable, there are things you should do with your diet to make sure you're taking the best care of your body. And while everyone and their mom seems to have a different opinion on what that is, we spoke with several dietitians who all noted the two major things women over 50 get wrong about their diets:

1. Lacking Protein
2. Lacking Fiber

Related: Dietitians Are Divided on Whether Dinner Timing Impacts Brain Health—but They Do Agree on This for People Over 50

Why Protein Matters for Women Over 50

Protein in and of itself is a vital macronutrient for repairing cells, building muscle, and supporting the immune system. It also supports you in achieving goals like weight loss by making you feel fuller, improving blood pressure control, and lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Despite all of this, nutritionists say most women over 50 make a major mistake by not getting enough of it throughout the day.

"It’s very common for women to underestimate their protein intake when most women over 50 need at least 1.0–1.2 grams of protein per kg of body weight per day," Jordan Hill, a registered dietitian at Top Nutrition Coaching, tells Parade. "Ideally, women should strive to get at least 25–30 grams of protein at each meal. Adequate protein intake helps retain muscle mass when aging, and adequate calcium and vitamin D help retain bone mineral density."

It is also a key factor in helping manage the havoc menopause wreaks on the body.

"During midlife, particularly around menopause, women become more susceptible to insulin resistance," said Avery Zenker,a registered dietitian and writer for MyHealthTeam's Crohn's and Colitis Team. "This means that the body isn’t as good at managing blood sugar as it used to be, which can lead to high blood sugar and type 2 diabetes. Protein has a significant impact on stabilizing blood sugar by slowing the absorption of carbohydrates from food."

Fiber's Role in the Health of Women 50 and Older

Fiber acts as a "buffer" in the bloodstream. By slowing down how quickly sugar is absorbed, it prevents the sharp spikes and crashes that lead to:

• Mood & Energy: Irritability, "brain fog," and midlife energy slumps.
• Cravings: Sudden urges for sugar or high-fat foods.
• Insulin Resistance: A condition more common during perimenopause that can lead to type 2 diabetes.

"Fiber is one of the key nutrients to focus on during peri- and post-menopause. It’s estimated that about 95% of Americans aren’t meeting daily fiber recommendations," warns Zenker. "Fiber helps combat multiple risk factors that are common during peri-menopause and post-menopause, including insulin resistance, obesity, fatty liver, dysbiosis, and high cholesterol. In addition, fiber helps support a healthy body weight by regulating appetite."

Another thing most women get wrong, according to registered dietitianElizabeth Ward, is the tendency to blame a different culprit for weight issues over 50.

"Women tend to blame carbohydrates for weight problems and drastically cut back on them, but you can't get the recommended amount of fiber on a low-carbohydrate diet," Ward warns. "I advise women to eat whole grains, legumes, lentils, fruits, and vegetables to get the carbohydrates and fiber they need. Women need at least 25 grams of fiber daily. Fiber keeps you fuller for longer, and a higher-fiber eating plan is associated with a decreased risk for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and colon cancer."

Other Diet Factors Women Over 50 Should Consider

Of course, those two factors aren't the only things women over 50 struggle with when it comes to diet. Frequently, women skip breakfast, don't eat enough at lunch, and end up consuming most of their calories at night.

"This is a cycle that a lot of women are locked into," claims Ward. "Breakfast is a cup of coffee and a slice of toast, lunch is a salad that's lacking adequate fiber and protein to keep them full, and they're starving by 3 p.m. Dinner is a heavy meal, and there's snacking after dinner to make up for not properly fueling themselves during the day."

To break the cycle, Ward suggests eating half as much at night and planning for balanced meals earlier in the day, such as whole-grain cereal with fruit for breakfast or a protein-rich sandwich for lunch.

Zenker also warns that, on average, older women tend to skip an important food group altogether: fruit.

"Fruits are nutrient-dense sources of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants," says Zenker. "Regular fruit intake is associated with better health outcomes and reduced menopause symptoms. The fiber in fruit helps slow the absorption of their natural sugars, reducing the impact on blood sugar."

If women over 50 make an effort to improve these areas of their diet, they'll likely start seeing the results they've been longing for.

Celebrities sign up for the spotlight. But their children don’t. And that’s why some of the most famous faces choose to shield their little ones from the public’s ever-watchful eye.

From A-list power couples to action stars, these parents prefer to keep their kiddos’ identities private on social media. Of course, celebrities aren’t the only moms and dads who engage in “sharenting” (the growing trend of parents sharing pics and videos of their kids online). A 2023 article published in The Journal of Pediatricsnoted that a European study found parents share an average of 300 photos of their kids annually—naming Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter the top places to post.  

So which celebs don’t share photos of their kids or hide their identities under emojis? Here are the most well-known parents who like to keep their families private:

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard

Actress Kristen Bell and hubby Dax Shepardspearheaded the “No Kids Policy” against the paparazzi to protect the privacy of celeb children. The couple rarely shares pics of their two daughters, Lincoln and Delta. But occasionally you can catch a glimpse. Last March, Bell celebrated her eldest’s 13th birthday with a cute carousel of clips. Instead of showing her kiddo’s face, she chose back angles and used hearts as camouflage.

View this post on Instagram Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling

This famous couple won’t post pics of their kiddos until they are old enough to consent. And while we’re sure an Eva Mendes-Ryan Gosling genetic mashup is nothing but beautiful, it looks like fans won’t get to see Esmeralda or Amada on their famous mom’s Instagram page anytime soon. 

But if you want to see photos of Mendes as a child, she shared a sentimental story about her own mother and a few sweet snapshots of her earlier years last December.

View this post on Instagram Orlando Bloom

The Pirates of the Caribbeanactor is dad to two children: Flynn Christopher BlanchardCopeland Bloom (with ex-wife Miranda Kerr) and Daisy Dove Bloom (with ex Katy Perry). Like other celebs, Orlando Bloom rarely posts pics of his kids on social media. But occasionally, he adds a few in. The actor faced a backlash in August of 2025, after sharing a photo of then-four-year-old daughter Daisy with her naked bum exposed. He later edited the shot to cover her backside with an emoji. 

View this post on Instagram Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher

Actors Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have two children: a daughter, Wyatt Isabelle, and a son, Dimitri Portwood. The celeb parents are fiercely protective of their children’s privacy, hiding their faces from the public. 

While Kutcher does have a social media presence, you won’t find his wife on Instagram. In a 2018 interview withCosmopolitan, the actress said, of social media, “it took an ugly turn and became all about who can be the loudest, when can be the angriest and most negative.”

View this post on Instagram Emily Blunt and John Krasinski

Like Kunis, you won’t see actress Emily Blunt on Instagram. The celeb parent stays off social media to maintain her privacy. On the other hand, actor JohnKrasinski does have an Instagram account. But instead of posting pics of the couple’s kids (the pair have two daughters, Hazel and Violet), Krasinski uses the platform to share info about his upcoming projects.

Few celebrity memoirs pull back the curtain quite like Reality Check.

The bestselling book by Mike Sorrentino—best known as "The Situation" from MTV's reality series Jersey Shore—earned recognition as a USA Best Book Award winner in 2024, a nod to its impact beyond the typical reality TV audience.

Originally released in 2023, Reality Check traces the 43-year-old's rise to fame during the early days of Jersey Shore, when the show became a cultural phenomenon and turned its cast into overnight celebrities. But instead of focusing solely on the glitz of reality TV success, the memoir quickly shifts into something much deeper.

Sorrentino opens up about the pressures that came with fame and how they contributed to struggles with addiction, legal issues and personal setbacks that played out both publicly and behind the scenes. At its core, the book is about accountability, growth and what it takes to rebuild when everything falls apart.

The narrative follows his journey through some of his lowest moments, including his path to sobriety and time served in prison, before moving toward a more hopeful chapter centered on family, stability and a renewed sense of purpose.

Blending humor, reflection and hard truths, Reality Check offers a candid perspective on the highs and lows of reality TV life—while also exploring broader themes of resilience, redemption and self-awareness.

The book has resonated with readers for its emotional honesty, with many praising Sorrentino’s willingness to confront difficult parts of his past without sugarcoating them. One fan of the original Jersey Shore series claims they didn't care much for Sorrentino when the show was on, but reading his memoir changed all that.

"This memoir made me gasp, laugh, recoil, and cry," their GoodReads reviewreads. "But, that’s what any good memoir will do to you. His story is told in an incredibly honest and painful way."

"If you are a huge Jersey Shore fan like me, this is a must read!" another reviewer reads. "It was exciting, devastating, and overcoming! Absolute 5 star read! I think it’s time to rewatch Jersey Shore for the millionth time..."

"It was interesting of course, but also really heartbreaking reading his recounts of what was really going on behind the cameras," another GoodReads review says. "It truly shows that you don’t know what people are going through."

Over the years, celebrity memoirs have become a crowded space—but Reality Check stands out for how personal it feels.

With its award recognition and continued buzz among readers, Sorrentino’s story proves that sometimes the most compelling narratives come not from fame itself, but from what happens after it.

It’s official: the national crisis is over, and Bravo has blessed us with the return of arguably the greatest show on TV, The Valley. Yes, that’s my hot take (and, let’s be honest, TikTok agrees). I’ve been counting down the days until Nia and Danny Booko graced my screen again. Fun fact: Danny was on Hannah Montana. ICONIC. Yet somehow, despite all the glow-up energy, the show isn’t getting the attention it deserves.

Meanwhile, the Bravo universe has been a nonstop rollercoaster—from Taylor, Frankie and Paul’s Bachelorette chaos to the mysterious West Wilson/Amanda BatulaSummer House saga (#TeamCiara)—but let’s bring the spotlight back to the SURvers we actually care about.

Season three kicked off with serious Vanderpump Rules vibes: Jax Taylor is gone, Brittany Cartwright is back, and LaLa Kent and Tom Schwartz (ugh, love him) have entered the chat. If last season was about losing your sparkle, this one is all about reclaiming it—or at least that’s the Schwartz-approved version. And while some of that glitter may be hiding elsewhere, it certainly isn’t lost on our favorite couple.

Nia and Danny finally ditched their penthouse and dove headfirst into Santa Clarita life. Danny got the space, the pool and a new house, while Nia got all that plus baby number four (Six days before Kristin Doute has hers!). Honestly, can life get any more chef’s kiss perfect? 

Which is why we can’t be a little curious: what does this upgraded home actually look like? Last season, we were left squinting at square footage after Jasmine showed them that notoriously tiny home and left praying that they’d finally bid their Encino penthouse condo goodbye. And, fortunately, they did.

Shortly after filming wrapped, the pair went all-in on a $1.3 million Santa Clarita house. With five bedrooms, three bathrooms and 2,845-square-feet, everyone finally has space to call their own. However, since we haven’t gotten much screen time inside yet, we’re here to give you the full tour. Here’s a look inside Nia and Danny Booko’s Santa Clarita home.

Danny's Domain 

It’s tricky to sum up the open-concept chaos-slash-chic of the Booko house, so it makes sense to start where the magic (and the mess) begins: the kitchen. It flows straight into the living and dining areas, but what keeps it from feeling generic is all in the details—tall, medium-dark wood cabinets with brushed brass handles that add warmth, and a sleek white quartz waterfall island that quietly becomes the home’s catchall, equal parts prep station and “drop everything here” zone. Nothing feels overstyled or precious, which tracks with the couple themselves; a leaning wooden cutting board, a few neutral ceramics and a bit of greenery keep things grounded and livable without tipping into staged. 

Overall, the kitchen is practical and polished, but our favorite part? When Entertainment Tonight asked who actually cooks, Nia just smirked and answered in sync with Danny: “Danny.” Which works out perfectly—as long as he’s not sneaking shots in the pantry first (Mostly kidding).

Nia’s Neutrality Runs Deep

Nia’s neutrality isn’t just for TV—it shows up in her design, too, and it’s doing real work. The open-concept living room and kitchen are big, but they don’t feel chaotic. Two cream-gray sofas quietly divide the space, while a wall-mounted TV hangs above it all like a calm center point. And right beneath it? The reality check: bins of kids’ toys tucked out of sight. They joke about having “toys stuffed everywhere,” but this is the trick—you don’t see the mess unless you go looking for it. As long as her soft, tonal palette holds, Nia gets her calm, and the kids still get their chaos.

A few steps over, that balance gives way to full kid mode. There’s a miniature kitchenette, a small table and chairs. Danny says it’s where they “eat” and “homeschool,” which clearly depends on the day. Art projects pile up, things get loud, and nothing stays still for long. Which is exactly why the expanding oval dining table nearby works so well. It pulls the whole space back together when it needs to—whether it’s for an actual family dinner or, as Danny jokes, a The Valley season three reunion (Honestly, someone call Andy).

Twice the Trouble View this post on Instagram

Remember how they said every kid would eventually have their own room? That’s still the plan…in theory. For now, it’s a little more strategic. The two-year-old twins, Isabella and Zariah, share the only bedroom upstairs, while big brother Asher, 4, and baby Adelaide, 1, each carve out their own corners of calm elsewhere.

The twins’ room looks sweet at first glance, but it’s built for real life. Two cribs sit side by side—not styled, but positioned for quick reshuffling when needed. As Nia says, “the cribs have to be moved,” basically making it a part of her daily workout. The pink walls lean playful, almost princess-coded, but they’re grounded with woodsy, cottage-style touches that give each twin a bit of individuality without pushing the room into full-on bubblegum territory.

Pools, Push-Ups and Tiny Warrior Princesses View this post on Instagram

Walk a step or two more, and the backyard unfolds. “Very sunset, indoor-outdoor living,” Nia says, as the pair opens the ceiling-to-floor double doors. Instantly, you’re outside, facing one of the most magical scenes we’ve seen: Plummer Canyon stretches fully into view, looking straight out of a movie—or, in this case, a TV show. Your eyes naturally drift to the pool, which dominates the space with sharp lines, clean stone decking and a geometric shape that feels completely one-of-a-kind.

For the couple, the pool was non-negotiable. “Living in Southern California, it was non-negotiable; we had to have a pool,” Danny says. Nia laughs: “People say you don’t need a pool, but no [...] Daniel is in it multiple times a day. It is well used.” Danny grins. “I need to start heating it; before, it was basically a cold plunge.”

Just beyond the pool, the home gym stakes its claim. “Don’t get too close, there is some clutter,” Nia warns. There’s a weight bench, dumbbells, a pull-up bar—but the highlight is watching the family in action. Danny jokes this is where the “Booko body is built,” while Nia adds, “The girls want to work out like Daddy, which is great.” A few steps further, a pink mini playhouse pops into view, and the couple laughs, saying that’s where the girls “live.” 

Despite all the different stations: the pool, the gym, the playhouse; the open layout keeps everything feeling cohesive. “It is heaven out here,” Danny says. Nia grins: “They say it’s God’s country, ya know.”

Keys and Chaos 

Trying to keep up? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Back inside, a black upright piano stands in the corner, serious and commanding…right next to a ridiculously large stuffed giraffe. “Indoors there is plenty of space for Danny’s piano (next to a stuffed giraffe),” the tour notes—and seeing it in person, it’s clear: this is where music collides with life in glorious noise. Light floors and open walls keep the room airy, while sheet music waits patiently for Danny…or maybe one day for one of the kids.

High Above the Booko-ness

The primary bedroom is Nia and Danny’s retreat from it all. The bed is swathed in soft, cloud-like white sheets, and windows frame sweeping Plummer Canyon views, letting in natural light that makes the space calm and serene; a sharp contrast to the chaos of the kitchen, kids and pool below. Add in the walk-in closet and consider me officially sold.

Tracy Chapman released her eponymous debut album in April 1988, the world’s first introduction to her soulful voice and storytelling songwriting. 

Leading the album was “Fast Car,” released as a debut single on April 6, 1988, by Elektra Records.

Even though it never hit number one on the charts, peaking at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, it’s widely considered her career-defining song, putting the singer-songwriter on the map.

The acoustic folk-pop single was deeply relatable, as the minimal production and lyrics addressed economic hardships and working-class struggles amid a narrative of hope and escape.

The message still resonates with listeners to this day, even ranking on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list in 2021 and 2024.

It inspired countless covers and tributes, includingLuke Combs’ country version, released in 2023, which scored the Academy of Country Music Award for Single of the Year.

Combs’ single soared to the second spot on the Billboard Hot 100, surpassing the original, but as his single gained traction, so did Champan’s. Combs’ success helped Chapman’s reach the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Country Songwriters chart, a rare feat as she was credited as the sole songwriter.

A year after the song’s release, Chapman hit the Grammys stage to perform the song alongside Combs, who introduced the classic to new audiences, including younger listeners, decades after the song’s release.

Tracy Champan's Debut Album Success

The debut album was equally groundbreaking, with standout tracks that addressed social issues and personal narratives like “Talkin’ ‘bout a Revolution” and “Baby Can I Hold You.”

The social media account Discogs celebrated the anniversary of the album, writing, “While “Fast Car,” a heart-grabbing close-up on institutionalized poverty, is the tune that made the former busker a star, this song is surrounded by equally impactful tunes taking on materialism (“Mountains o’ Things”) and crying out for a major wave of change (“Talkin’ ‘bout a Revolution”).”

And the praise pouring into the comment section was reminiscent of the reaction the album got in real-time from critics and fans, who underscored the authenticity and credibility of her minimalist yet powerful arrangements.

“38 years of a masterpiece that will never go out of style. For me this is one of those 10/10 albums where you never, ever skip a track. A total essential for any collection! 👏🏼” one wrote.

Another echoed, “Timeless masterpiece! One of the best 80’s albums!” as a third declared, “Got me through some really hard times still does 🙌😢.”

38 years later, Chapman’s debut album and “Fast Car” remain a testament to the enduring power of storytelling in music and the voice of a truly iconic artist.

Todd Meadows' family is reportedly filing a wrongful death lawsuit.

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, the family is trying to open Meadows' probate estate and is looking to hold someone legally responsibly for his death.

Meadows died at the age of 25 while filming Deadliest Catch in February. He fell overboard while crabbing on the Aleutian Lady fishing boat in the Bering Sea off the coast of Alaska, and his cause of death was later confirmed to be  "drowning with probable hypothermia" and "submersion of body in cold water."

It's unclear who will be named as a defendant in the forthcoming lawsuit, however, the Deadliest Catch cameras were rolling at the time of Meadows' accident. The family has previously told TMZ that they do not want Discovery Channel to air any footage of the incident.

"We don’t want to put the blame on anyone, but someone has to take responsibility," Todd's mother Angela Meadows told the outlet. "We will have justice for Todd."

RELATED: ‘Deadliest Catch’ Star Todd Meadows’ Shocking Death Under Investigation

The news of Meadows’ death was first announced by his Deadliest Catch co-star Capt. Rick Shelford via Instagram on Mar. 2.

“February 25, 2026 was the most tragic day in the history of the Aleutian Lady on the Bering Sea,” Shelford wrote. “We lost our brother, Todd Meadows. Todd was the newest member of our crew, he quickly became family. His love for fishing and his strong work ethic earned everyone’s respect right away. His smile was contagious, and the sound of his laughter coming up the wheelhouse stairs or over the deck hailer is something we will carry with us always.”

“Todd’s love for his children, his family, and his life was evident in everything he did,” he continued. “He worked hard, loved deeply, and brought joy to those around him. Right now, our hearts are broken in a way that words can’t fully express. We ask that you lift Todd’s children and family in prayer and keep them in your thoughts as they face the days ahead without him.”

He concluded, “Todd will forever be part of this boat, this crew, and this brotherhood. Though we lost him far too soon, his legacy will live on through his children and in every memory we carry of him. Rest easy brother, till we meet again.”

Meadows is survived by his wife and three children. The Coast Guard's investigation into his death is ongoing.

With so many songs dealing with themes of romance, it's difficult to narrow down the best love songs. However, in 2025, TimeOut did just that and released a list of the 10 best love songs.

While TimeOut named Billie Eilish's "Birds of a Feather," released in 2024, as the publication's top pick, several other classic songs were featured on the list. For instance, the 1960 song "At Last" sung by the late Etta James secured the number 2 ranking. According to the publication, James' beloved cover made it into the list because of the singer's powerful performance and its frequent appearance at weddings.

While James didn't write "At Last," the Los Angeles native, who died in 2012 at the age of 73, said that she identified with all the songs she released.

"Everything that I sing about, I pick all my songs, everything I sing about is something that I have experienced," said James in a 2003 CNN interview.

While speaking to CNN, James explained the trajectory of her career. She said she "was singing gospel songs" at the age of five and began performing with jazz bands when she was around 14 in San Francisco after she "ran away from home." James then noted she had substance abuse issues.

"I became a junkie in the early 20s, is when all of my songs and things took a turn for, you know, I wasn't quite into the love songs yet, but I was doing songs that had something to do with life, you know, 'I'd Rather Go Blind.' Or 'At Last.' 'My Dearest Darling,'" said James in the 2003 interview.

James also referenced that she received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2003. According to James, she didn't believe she would've ever been recognized for her career in that manner.

"When I got into my 30s, it just like, at one point, you wonder if you are going to make it. And I would go down Hollywood Blvd," said James. "And I would wander, I would go out shopping or something, and I would see the stars, and I would say, 'Well, I guess I'll never get one of those.'"

Sixty years ago today, the iconic '60s rock duo the Righteous Brothers topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart with their song, "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration."

Released in 1966, the hit served as the lead single and title track for the duo's seventh studio album, Soul and Inspiration. Within a month of its release, "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration" climbed to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, holding the top position for three consecutive weeks.

The same year of its release, the track achieved a Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) after selling over one million copies. Its undeniable chart dominance and commercial success marked it as career-defining song for the duo.

The track followed the success of their 1965 No. 1 hit, "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'," a song that helped to solidify the duo's signature blue-eyed soul sound. Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, the legendary songwriters credited on their 1965 hit, also co-wrote "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration." Remarkably, Bill Medley produced the track himself, effectively paralleling the "Wall of Sound" production style they had utilized under their previous producer, Phil Spector.

"(You're My) Soul and Inspiration" is a ballad centered on intense romantic dependence and the heartache experienced after a broken relationship. The track highlights themes of desperation, following a narrator who relies heavily on a partner for their emotional needs. The poignant lyricism showcases total devotion, creating a definite breakup anthem of the era.

Despite being released six decades ago, the Righteous Brothers' hit continues to resonate with modern audiences in the streaming era. On Spotify alone, "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration" has garnered nearly 16 million streams, affirming its enduring legacy as a soul classic.

Looking ahead to the remainder of their 2026 and 2027 travel season, MSC Cruises has made the decision to cancel dozens of cruises planned to sail for the Middle East.

According to Cruise Industry News, MSC's decision to scale back their Middle Eastern sailings makes them the fourth major cruise line to cancel or postpone sailings in the region.

Previously, Costa Cruises, AIDA Cruises and Explore Journeys also made similar announcements, reverting planned sailings to different regions around the globe.

As Cruise Industry News mentioned, many of the cruises affected by the announcement were set to take place aboard the MSC World Europa.

The largest MSC ship in the region, the World Europa's sailings were scheduled for November 2026 until March 2027. Sailing from Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha, the ship would have provided stops at several prominent Middle Eastern destinations, including Qatar and Bahrain.

As disappointing as the news might be for anyone planning to travel with MSC Cruises, the fan-favorite brand has confirmed they're planning to reorient their focus to Caribbean travel for the remainder of the year. As a result, the MSC World Europa will officially redeploy to the Caribbean seas for late 2026.

In terms of its offerings, the ship will specifically offer a mix of seven to 14 night cruises, with departures set from Martinique and Guadeloupe and stops set for Saint Lucia, Grenada, St. Maarten and Antigua, among others.

Because of the new changes for their 2026 and 2027 operations, MSC will also redeploy the MSC Seaview, which the World Europa will officially replace in the Caribbean, to South America.

More details about the Seaview's itinerary will be announced in the weeks ahead, although it's likely the destinations the ship will stop at will include Brazil and Argentina. Speaking about the new changes, MSC said the unexpected developments emphasize the brand's “commitment to offer diverse choices across its global portfolio.”

In the early hours of November 29, 2019, a 19-year-old named Zac Brettler stood on the balcony of a fifth-floor luxury apartment overlooking the Thames. Security cameras at the nearby MI6 headquarters captured what happened next. He jumped, his body striking the embankment before landing face-down in the riverbank mud. A passerby found him at dawn.

Zac was the grandson of a celebrated London rabbi, a product of a good private school, and the son of loving, comfortable parents who had no idea who their child really was.

That's where London Falling, the remarkable new book by Patrick Radden Keefe, begins. And where it goes is far stranger, and far sadder, than any of them could have imagined.

The book published on April 7, and even before it hit shelves, U.K.'s A24 had acquired the TV rights in a competitive bidding process. That's not surprising. Keefe has made a career of finding the human story at the center of large institutional failures, from the Sackler family and the opioid crisis, to the IRA and a woman who vanished in Belfast. With London Falling, he's found something incredibly intriguing and personal, a family trying to understand their son after it's too late.

Keefe, whose previous books Say Nothing and Empire of Pain became cultural touchstones and critically acclaimed streaming series, spent years unraveling the double life Zac had constructed. From his early teens, Zac had begun passing himself off as the son of a wealthy Russian oligarch, moving through London's circles of new money and adopted glamour with a dangerous talent for reinvention. He landed, eventually, in the orbit of a London businessman and a feared gangster known as 'Indian Dave,' in whose apartment he died.

The police ruled the death a suicide because there was no evidence of a push. But Zac's parents, Matthew and Rachelle, couldn't accept that. They knew their son. What they didn't know was his other life. And so, in their grief, they began to investigate.

What they found forms the basis of Keefe's account. London, he shows us, is not simply one of the world's great cities. It has also become, in his words, a place where vast wealth moves through the shadows with remarkable ease, and where a teenager hungry for status could stumble into genuinely lethal company without anyone in authority noticing or caring very much.

'London Falling is a tale of money and fantasy, fear and deception,' one early reviewer noted, praising the way Keefe handles Zac as a real, complicated young person. His parents emerge as two people who loved their son completely, and are now left searching for a version of him they never got to know.

Stories about young people who construct elaborate false identities, inflated by social media, fueled by the allure of wealth, have been everywhere in recent years. But Keefe resists easy moralizing. He is more interested in understanding and that may be what makes the book so hard to put down. Readers seem to find themselves rooting for a family to find justice while wondering, alongside them, whether justice is even possible.

London Falling is published by Doubleday and is available now.
