Legendary actor Sylvester Stallone just turned 80, and his famous younger brother, Frank Stallone, is still getting teased by his big brother.

Sly, who now stars in Tulsa King, rose to superstardom as everyone’s favorite boxer in the 1976 sports drama Rocky. He later made waves in Hollywood in action flicks like the Rambo films, Cliffhanger, and Demolition Man. But in a fun video shared by Frank, 75, the duo reunited for Sly's 80th birthday and made it clear that their brotherly love is still going strong. In fact, Sly is still giving Frank "wet willies."

Sly Still Looks Incredible In the Gym

Fitness has been a mainstay in Stallone’s life, and in a rare, intimate Instagram video, the actor spoke about his health regimen and how it gets more challenging as he ages.

“In a way, it’s kind of like a sanctuary, a church,” the actor shared in a video that revealed his tremendous muscles. “We pray to get better, to feel better physically, so you have the strength to arrive at your goals, really confident and ready to face any challenge. Keep punching, see you soon.”

In the caption, Stallone said it gets harder as time passes.

“Every year it gets harder and harder, but that’s why you gotta push harder and harder. blood sweat and tears,” he wrote.

After years of living in Los Angeles, Stallone decided it was time for him and his wife of 28 years, Jennifer Flavin, to relocate to Florida. Last year, he spoke about what made him choose the Sunshine State as his next destination.

“First of all, the air seems to always be clean. We’re very, very near the water and that makes my wife incredibly happy,” he told Fox News Digital. “It makes me happy, and it’s just something about it. It’s just so lush.”

Stallone continued, saying the area may be 3000 miles away from Los Angeles, but it just works better for him and his family.

“I went to college there for a couple of years. So, I’m not a stranger to the environment, but it fits my personality much better,” he said.

Stallone Wasn’t Thrilled With Leaving California at First

Originally, the idea of leaving California was a tough nut to swallow. The couple raised their three daughters in California.

“It’s not easy for me to leave California. That’s where I got my start, that’s where I got my break,” Stallone shared on the family’s reality show in 2024, PEOPLE reported. “We have a lot of roots in California, so it’s not an easy transition to Florida. But Jennifer really had her heart set on it. I gave in.”

But Flavin was ready to take on a new pursuit, so Stallone eventually went along with it.

Your birth date can reveal far more than your personality. According to numerology, astrology, and tarot, it may also offer insight into the deeper lessons your soul is here to learn. Every tarot card carries its own symbolic wisdom, representing unique strengths, challenges, and opportunities for growth that shape your life's journey.

While anyone can embody the qualities of every tarot card throughout their lifetime, certain birth dates naturally align with karmic energies. Your birth date can point to the archetype that best reflects your soul's karmic lessons, inner gifts, and the experiences that encourage your greatest personal growth.

Birth Dates 1, 10, 19, 28 – Strength

When your birth date is ruled by the light of the Sun, your journey is about leadership and visibility, which means your sense of confidence may be tied to visibility. Your karmic journey is about leading without force. The Strength card features a woman balancing her power and courage with compassion, quietly taming a lion, representing either her raw emotions or a difficult situation she must deal with. 

Birth Dates 2, 11, 20, 29 – Queen of Swords

Being born on a date ruled by the Moon means part of your karmic journey is learning to navigate the world of emotions, with its endless ups and downs. The Queen of Swords embodies a genuine appreciation and a mastery over the element of air (the intellect). Spiritually, this feminine symbol has evolved past illusions, which allows her to rely on her intelligence to tackle difficult subjects with fair sharpness.

Birth Dates 3, 12, 21, 30 – The Hermit

If you were born on a day ruled by mighty Jupiter, you’re used to receiving attention and shining in social scenarios. You love living the good life, and while there is nothing wrong about that, karmically, your challenge is to learn how to retreat when the situation calls for it. The Hermit represents introspection, solitude, and the search for wisdom. It inspired you to look within and not outside of yourself, especially in times of transformation. 

Birth Dates 4, 13, 22, 31 – Two of Pentacles

Being born on a date ruled by the electric planetUranus gives you an edge—it means you’re dynamic and exciting. Since there is a sense of duality to your experience, your karma involves juggling two very different sides of your nature. The Two of Pentacles is a card of dynamic balance, adaptability, and multitasking. It symbolizes your need to go with the flow while staying grounded during chaotic times.

Birth Dates 5, 14, 23 – Nine of Wands

If your birth date responds to the influence of the swift planet Mercury, it may be in your nature to exit any scene when things get difficult. Therefore, your karma revolves around staying when it’s easier to run. Being a tarot card of resilience, the Nine of Wands depicts a tired, bandaged figure holding a staff while standing watch, symbolizing stamina, courage, and perseverance. Meditate when you’re considering giving up right before getting to the finish line. 

Birth Dates 6, 15, 24 – Temperance

When your birth date aligns with the influence of Venus, relationships take center stage for you. Karmically, you may consider other people’s feelings and desires above yours.

It is the ideal tarot card to meditate on when the relational boundaries get blurry. 

Birth Dates 7, 16, 25 – The High Priestess

Coming into this world on a date ruled by Neptune, the planet of magic, you were born with a deep sense of intuition, allowing you to see the unseen. At times, your logical mind may not trust what your instincts know. The High Priestess, the ultimate archetype of hidden knowledge, is your karmic guide when it comes to diving into the mysteries of the unseen, allowing you to have night vision as you travel behind the veil.

Birth Dates 9, 18, 27 – The Star

Being born on a date ruled by Mars means you’re a go-getter! Whatever the situation is, you’re quick to respond and react. Karmically, this can have you on constant edge, however, especially during competitive and high-energy scenarios. Being one of the most positive cards in the tarot, the Star is a card of hope, healing, and spiritual renewal. It’s your ideal card to gaze at when looking for inspiration and a guiding light during turbulent times.

Matt Gutman has spent his career reporting on other people's frightening moments, but this time, he found himself living through one of his own.

The veteran CBS News correspondent shared in a video posted Friday, June 10, to his X account that he came dangerously close to walking into his bank and withdrawing everything he had, all because of a phone call he later described as almost impossible to catch.

Guttman Recalls The 'Call' That Seemed Completely Legitimate

How NOT to fall for a "bank impersonation scam."

Three quick tips that could save your bank account and at the very least, a lot of time.

Read didn't lose money yesterday when I was the target of a sophisticated and very patient scammer but I lost time and it cost me a lot of… pic.twitter.com/eGe7Tpk0xs

— Matt Gutman (@CBSMATTGUTMAN) July 11, 2026

Gutman explained that the call began with a woman claiming to work in his bank's fraud protection department. She introduced herself by name, offered a badge ID, and appeared to know an unusual amount about his personal finances. "They seemed to know so much about me, about my bank account," Gutman said.

"And then they said, 'Listen, we suspect that there is significant fraud activity at the bank branch where you bank, and what we need you to do right now–.' We went through all the accounts, and we actually had some suspicious activity recently in my daughter's account."

From there, the woman laid out what she framed as a plan to help catch the people responsible. "She gave me the names, and then she said, 'What we need you to do, in order to intercept these fraudsters, is to go into the bank and withdraw everything from your bank account,' which wasn't that much money at this point, 'and take it with you so you have it in cash, and that'll trigger the fraudsters into action. That's how we'll be able to catch them.' I thought, OK, that's a little weird."

Even with his doubts creeping in, Gutman said he still went along with it, at least at first. "Why would you use a regular citizen for something that seems like a law enforcement issue? But I said, you know, OK, and I went in there, and she said, 'But you can't tell anybody at the bank that this is happening because they might be in on it,'" he said.

That instruction is what ultimately gave the scam away. Once the caller told him not to say anything to bank employees, Gutman realized something was seriously off, despite how convincing everything had felt up to that point. "You've got to be so careful," he said, "and some of these scams are incredibly sophisticated, with people who clearly know what they are talking about and speak like they are in the profession. I'm just blown away by how good that person was. I can't get over this."

How to Protect Yourself From Similar Scams

Experts say a few simple habits can go a long way in spotting this kind of fraud before it costs you money. Here are a few tips from FTC Consumer Advice.

• Hang up and call your bank directly using the number on your card or statement, never a number the caller provides. The real number can be found on your statement, not the one the caller gives you, since that will connect you back to the scammer.
• Remember that legitimate bank employees will never ask you to withdraw cash and hand it over, or ask you to keep the transaction secret. Any instruction to withdraw cash and hand it to someone, no matter who they claim to be, is always a scam.
• Be wary if a caller already seems to know personal details, such as your name or account activity. The FTC has noted that caller ID showing a legitimate-looking bank or government number can still be faked, a tactic that's grown more common with AI-powered scams. Take your time, since honest organizations will always give you time to make a decision, and anyone pressuring you to act immediately is a scammer.
• Report suspicious calls to your bank's fraud line and to the FTC. The agency asks that anyone who receives a call like this report it directly at ReportFraud.ftc.gov, especially if money was moved or a verification code was shared.

This week, Netflix is closing the chapter on one of the most beloved young adult franchises.

On July 17, the long-awaited Heartstopper movie, titled Heartstopper Forever, arrives to the streaming platform. Following three successful TV seasons, Nick and Charlies story is coming to an end with a feature-length movie based on the latest graphic novel by Alice Oseman.

Heartstopper: Volume 6 was released on July 2 and has already taken book lovers by storm. Goodreads recently named the book the "top book of the week," with almost 10,000 five-star ratings and a 4.64 out of five star rating overall at the time of writing this article.

"Sobbed reading this masterpiece. Absolutely love this series and these characters," Goodreads user kodeereads wrote. "I will forever think about them."

"Perfection. Makes my heart so warm," said Tai Reid. "This movie is about to wreck me."

A third Goodreads user, posting under the name Chad, commented, "17,000 stars for how absolutely perfect this ended."

Oseman announced the movie back in April 2025, voicing her excitement for the project.

We are getting to tell the end of the story!!! I’m deeply relieved and so excited about this new creative venture. I’ve written the script and we’re hard at work already. I know you’ll have a lot of questions, and I’ll be able to talk about it more very soon, but for now let’s CELEBRATE! Heartstopper is getting its ending!!!!!!

Heartstopper Forever, starring Kit Connor as Nick and Joe Locke as Charlie, is a coming-of-age LGBTQ+ romance that continues the teens' love story.

"It’s a final Heartstopper story, like the TV series, but with the benefit of film length, we really sit with the characters on their journey. I think it will offer a deep final insight into the characters fans love," Oseman explained to Rolling Stone.

Oseman said that she had a "really special final day on set," which involved a key scene of the movie that celebrates all things Heartstopper.

"We were all very emotional," the author said. "It felt like the last day of school before everyone goes off into their own individual futures. It was very emotional and we are so proud."

Luke Combs has a new impressive achievement under his belt.

A new report from American Songwriter reveals that the country superstar drew a crowd of 97,367 fans at Ohio Stadium in Columbus earlier this year, breaking a record at the famed venue that had previously been held by Pink Floyd.

The rock band set the venue's previous attendance record back in 1994, when 75,245 fans gathered to witness a performance on their Division Bell Tour.

Combs, who has racked up six No. 1 hits on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart so far, is also said to have grossed over $11 million at the April 25 show at Ohio Stadium, making it his highest-earning show to date.

And it's not the first time Combs has dethroned a legendary artist with a new record-setting achievement. Last year, Combs surpassed country icon Garth Brooks to become the highest-certified country artist in history by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

According to the RIAA, Brooks had held the record for more than 20 years, with 162.5 million units sold and streamed as of October 2025, until Combs topped his record with a total of 168 million units sold — and the "Beautiful Crazy" artist was so stunned by the achievement at first that he didn't even believe it.

"When my team first told me about this, my initial reaction was, ‘Are you sure? There’s no way,'" Combs said in 2025, per Billboard. "It was only 8 years ago that I got my first [RIAA] plaque for 'Hurricane' going gold."

"I knew then, without a doubt, I had the best fans in the world. The song had gone platinum before they could even give me the gold plaque," he continued at the time. "I’m super humbled by the fans’ belief in me and support of my music today and over the years. I know this does not happen without them. This achievement is more so theirs than it is mine. All I ever hoped and dreamed of from the beginning of this crazy ride was to make music that made people feel something and I can’t wait to continue making country music for the rest of my life."

Britney Spears is speaking out after a video showing her standing through the sunroof of a moving SUV on a Los Angeles freeway quickly made the rounds online. The pop icon addressed the viral footage in an Instagram post on Saturday, sharing a screenshot from the incident along with a message defending herself against criticism.

"What people see is two seconds of insanity of me arching me to the lords !!!!! yet the days and hours of my reality !!!!!! Nothing is what it seems," Spears wrote. She then added a playful note, writing, "Psss I think I need to come out of the roof quite a bit more."

View this post on Instagram

Earlier this week, video surfaced appearing to show Spears standing through the moonroof of a Mercedes SUV while traveling along the 101 Freeway in Los Angeles. At one point, the singer leaned backward over the roof of the vehicle before eventually sitting back inside.

The freeway moment adds to a string of headline-making incidents involving Spears in recent months. In May, reports surfaced that the singer had appeared "erratic" and was seen carrying a knife during a dinner outing, though her representative pushed back on the characterization, calling the claims "completely blown out of proportion" and adding, "This constant attack on everything that she does... is exactly what happened 20 years ago when the media tried to depict Britney as a bad person. This is ridiculous, and it needs to stop now."

For now, at least Spears appears to be addressing the speculation directly and in her own words.

The World Health Organization (WHO) considers loneliness a public health problem, and it doesn't have an age limit. Parade spoke with three psychologists, who say that combating adult loneliness is a huge priority in their private practices. Group activities for adults can help.

"Loneliness is not just about being alone," Dr. Gayle MacBride, Ph.D., LP, a psychologist with Veritas Psychology, explains. "It is about lacking meaningful connections with others. Group activities help because they create opportunities for contact and can build belonging through shared experiences, which is exactly what combats the root of loneliness."

Indeed, these group-centered hobbies make for great ways to meet new people, which is clutch. Let's be real: Making friends as an adult is tough.

"Work responsibilities, caregiving roles and busy schedules can leave less time for socializing, even when people want more connection," says Dr. Ernesto Lira de la Rosa, Ph.D., a psychologist and Hope for Depression Research Foundation media advisor.

But making time for social hobbies is an investment in your social wellness, and you may even experience other psychological benefits of special interests. Dr. MacBride says it's common for adults to feel like they've been "out of the friend-making game" for too long. Yet she says that hobbies often "bring us back to our people" after divorces, when parenting responsibilities ease or when we move past other losses or work stresses.

Unsure where to start? That's common, too. To help, three psychologists share the best group activity for adults, along with three other favorites.

The Best Group Activity for Adults: Pickleball

According to the three psychologists we spoke to, the best group activity for adults is pickleball.

This activity is highly effective because it requires synchronized cooperation, lowers social defenses and accelerates the process of making friends as an adult. It also promotes confidence, cognitive engagement and can help reduce stress.

7 Psychological Benefits of Pickleball

There are many psychological benefits of hobbies, and pickleball exemplifies many of them. The psychologists Parade spoke with love that it combines physical, mental, social and cognitive wellness.

It's also fast-growing, with USA Pickleball reporting an increase of more than 104K members in 2025 alone, so there are many potential new friends out there waiting for you on the court. Below, mental health experts discuss the many perks of pickleball.

1. It requires synchronized coordination

Pickleball isn't just "tennis-lite." There's some undercover choreography going on, and it can help people connect with themselves and others on both physical and mental levels.

"Pickleball asks people to coordinate attention, timing, space, movement and social cues in real time," Dr. MacBride points out. "In doubles especially, you are reading your partner, anticipating the other side, adjusting your body and getting in sync with another person."

This movement opens doors for bonding and even finding meaning in life.

"Activities that require us to work in synch create bonding opportunities," statesDr. Michele Leno, Ph.D., a licensed psychologist and host of Mind Matters with Dr. Michele. "Knowing that someone is relying on you and you can rely on them gives a sense of belonging, fulfilling a human need. Many want to matter, and teamwork provides a chance to do so."

2. Pickleball lowers social defenses

The sport is like a movement-based mocktail—a zero-proof social lubricant, if you will.

"Pickleball is great because it’s not something that most of us got to play in gym class or were captains of our high school teams, which means many of us are still learning," Dr. MacBride notes. "It helps when we all feel new at something. We can laugh about a bad shot, work together on recalling how to call the score and slow things down as you saunter off looking for that errant ball."

If you're playing for fun, she shares that you, your teammates and even your opponents can feel less scrutinized and more available for genuine connections. Of course, for some, trying a new thing is a barrier.

"Adults are often less accustomed to being beginners than children are," Dr. Lira de la Rosa concedes. "That vulnerability can feel uncomfortable, but it is also often where growth and connection begin."

3. It helps you make friends as an adult

It's not easy to make friends as an adult. Yet Dr. Lira de la Rosa notes that pickleball creates conditions that help friendships develop.

"People often play with different partners, see the same individuals week after week and spend time together before and after games," he states. "These repeated interactions allow relationships to build gradually."

Psychologically, he notes that friendships are important because they provide emotional support, a sense of belonging and companionship, combating adult loneliness.

4. It helps you regulate your mood and stress

Dr. MacBride loves that this group activity combines movement, challenge and novelty—plus sunlight if you're playing outdoors.

"Pickleball is one of those activities that can be serious enough to absorb you and playful enough to make you laugh," she says. "That combination is neurotransmitter gold."

5. Self-efficacy and confidence

There's something psychologically powerful about being bad at something and sticking with it.

"The process of learning and novelty is good for our brains, but it’s also good for our identities," Dr. MacBride says. "Always being the person who has a handle on things can be exhausting. There’s something very rewarding about being a beginner and not carrying the mental load for everyone else."

6. It promotes cognitive engagement

Dr. MacBride reports that pickleball is more than physical activity—it's a workout for your brain, too.

"There is strategy, anticipation, inhibition and fast-paced decision-making," she says. "You have to be paying attention to read the play, the angle, deciding whether to speed up play or dink and then there’s adjusting to different partners and opponents."

7. Your motivation may improve

If you're feeling blah, pickleball may be the pick-me-up you need.

"Sometimes, life can feel boring and flat and limited to work, home and sleep," Dr. Leno says. "We need a spark to get us going and growing. When we engage in activities outside of those that are mandatory, we feel free and our thoughts flow more smoothly."

How To Find Pickleball Groups Near You

Since pickleball is growing so quickly, it's becoming easier to find adult groups. The low level of friction is yet another perk. To find a pickleball group near you, Dr. Lira de la Rosa suggests that you:

• Check your local parks and recreation department website.
• Look for community centers, YMCAs and fitness clubs that offer pickleball.
• Search local Facebook groups and neighborhood social media pages.
• Use pickleball-specific websites and apps that list courts and organized play.
• Ask friends, coworkers or neighbors if they know of local groups.
• Visit local courts and ask players about beginner-friendly open play sessions.

3 Other Expert-Approved Social Hobbies for Adults

Pickleball is a favorite group activity, but it may not be your top choice. That's OK. Psychologists share their personal runners-up for "best social hobbies for adults," and they may be No. 1 on your list.

1. Community gardening

Plants aren't the only things that can grow when you sign up for a community gardening group—you may develop relationships that bloom, too.

"Community gardening gives people a chance to connect around a shared goal while spending time outdoors," Dr. Lira de la Rosa says. "The activity encourages regular interaction without requiring constant conversation. It can be especially rewarding because people are contributing to something tangible and watching it grow over time."

2. Community choir or band

This one hits all the right notes for Dr. MacBride, who says community choirs and bands often leverage skills or passions you already have but haven't indulged in a while.

"In this kind of setting, everyone is focused on a shared outcome, the group meets regularly and there is a built-in sense of mutual effort," she notes. "For adults who want connection but feel rusty socially, performing musically can be a familiar way to dust off their social skills."

3. Recreational board game groups

These groups are an accessible way to engage in friendly competition without risking an ankle sprain. It's also key for people with existing injuries and mobility issues.

"Board game groups offer a fun and approachable way to meet people," Dr. Lira de la Rosa states. "The games provide a built-in focus, which can reduce social pressure and make conversations feel more natural. They also encourage cooperation, friendly competition and shared experiences, all of which can help strengthen social bonds."

Forty-nine years ago, legendary rock band Fleetwood Mac released "Don't Stop"—a song that became a motivational staple after resurging more than 15 years after it first dropped.

Released on April 1, 1977 as the third single from their landmark smash-hit album Rumours, "Don't Stop" became a massive success. Although it never reached the same chart-topping heights of the album's lead single, "Dreams"—which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 as the band's first and only chart-topper—it still secured the impressive No. 3 spot.

Aside from its undeniable chart success, the single achieved commercial triumph. "Don't Stop" was officially certified Double Platinum in the UK by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for selling over 1.2 million units. In total, the track has moved over 45 million copies worldwide—a staggering number that reflects the immense success of its parent album, which has been certified 21x Multi-Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Written by keyboardist and vocalist Christine McVie, "Don't Stop" is a quintessential motivational anthem. McVie penned the track following her separation from the band's bassist, John McVie, channeling her heartbreak into an upbeat song about hope and moving forward. The track's infectious rhythm and themes of leaving the past behind to look toward a brighter tomorrow resonated deeply with audiences, eventually inspiring a historic presidential campaign.

The Resurgence of "Don't Stop"

In 1992, "Don't Stop" experienced a major second wave of mainstream popularity when Democratic candidate Bill Clinton adopted it as the official campaign song for his presidential run. The track became a staple at Clinton rallies and national commercials, reigniting public fascination with the music. Clinton recognized that the song's themes of looking toward a better future would perfectly align with his optimistic political platform, making the single a natural choice.

Because of the track's heavy usage, Fleetwood Mac famously reunited their iconic Rumours lineup to perform at Clinton's 1993 inaugural ball and again during his White House farewell party in 2001. Today, the cultural impact of "Don’t Stop" hasn't faded, reaching modern audiences in the digital era.

On Spotify alone, "Don't Stop" has garnered over 568 million streams, proving the band's dominant impact on newer generations of listeners and solidifying the track as a truly timeless rock classic.

Strong glutes also help stabilize the pelvis, improve mobility, boost athletic performance and reduce strain on the lower back.

The glutes consist of three muscles: the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus. Whether your routine involves daily brisk walks, playing pickleball or keeping up with your kids or grandkids, building and preserving strong glute muscles is essential for leading an active, independent life. After all, when the glutes are weak or don’t get enough activity, daily movement can be compromised. 

“I’ve taught thousands of clients over the years, from complete beginners to athletes, and one of the most common things I see is underactive glutes. Modern lifestyles, desk jobs and scrolling keep us sitting more than ever and the impact is that our glutes aren’t doing their job properly,” explains Nikkii Behrens, Pilates teacher, trainer and founder of Rare Pilates.

To prevent underactive glutes, consider a regular Pilates practice. According to Behrens, Pilates teaches the body how to move more efficiently. When the core and glutes work in harmony, your posture improves and daily movement feels all-around stronger.

Are you ready to get started? We asked Pilates instructors to share one exercise they agree is king when it comes to building stronger glutes.

Why Pilates Is Effective for Activating the Glutes

Pilates prioritizes quality over quantity. Instead of working with heavy loads, Pilates requires proper alignment, precise cueing and controlled movement to help you access muscles that have become weaker from sedentary habits or repetitive movement patterns.

“Throughout class, the glutes are challenged in multiple planes of motion while working alongside the core and hips, building strength that’s balanced and functional,” says Lily Colins-Sak, certified Pilates instructor and owner of The Daily Pilates.

The Best Pilates Exercise for Stronger Glutes, According to Instructors

If you’re looking to build stronger glutes, instructors recommend the footbar bridge on the reformer. In fact, Behrens says this exercise is one of the easiest yet most productive ways to “wake up” your glutes and support genuine strength gains.

“What makes this exercise so effective is that it trains the glutes in their primary function: hip extension. Many people compensate during lower-body exercises by relying heavily on their quads or lower back. The footbar bridge creates a more direct connection to the glutes while also requiring control, stability, and proper pelvic alignment,” Behrens explains.

While the bridge recruits all three glute muscles, it mainly engages the gluteus maximus—the biggest and most powerful muscle within the group. The gluteus medius and gluteus minimus play a crucial role as well by stabilizing the pelvis and keeping the body aligned as you flow through the exercise.

“In Pilates, we rarely isolate a muscle completely; instead, we train the body to work as an integrated system, which is why the results often carry over so well into everyday life,” Behrens tells Parade.

Since many Pilates enthusiasts typically enter a class shortly after just waking up or being sedentary all day, their glutes are usually underactive, which is where bridging comes in clutch.

“Focusing on pressing evenly through both heels, maintaining equal energy through the right and left sides of the body, and creating a strong heel-to-glute connection helps recruit the glutes intentionally rather than letting the hamstrings or low back take over,” says Colins-Sak.

How To Do Footbar Bridging

1. Begin by lying flat on your back on the reformer’s carriage.
2. Place your feet hip-width apart on the footbar.
3. Activate your core, press through your heels, and slowly lift your hips toward the ceiling until your body is straight from shoulders to knees.
4. Hold for a moment at the top, squeezing your glutes.
5. Use control to lower.

Keep in mind that the goal isn’t how high you’re able to lift but how well you can stay aligned and keep tension through the back of your body.

“The movement can be performed with the spine staying long and neutral, or with spinal articulation as you peel the spine up and down one vertebra at a time. It can also be varied with both feet on the footbar, a single-leg bridge, different foot positions, or added pulses and holds to increase the challenge,” Behrens tells Parade.

How the Footbar Bridge Differs From Traditional Gym Exercises

Compared to classic gym workouts like lunges, squats or leg presses, the footbar bridge presents a totally different challenge. While gym exercises may be effective for boosting lower-body strength, many perform them without successfully engaging their glutes.

“In a bridge position, the glutes become the primary driver of movement while the spine remains supported. This allows clients to focus on the quality of contraction rather than simply moving heavier loads,” Behrens explains.

The role core stability plays is another plus. In Pilates workouts, the glutes aren’t trained in isolation. Instead, they work with the core to establish a stable foundation for each exercise.

“During the footbar bridge, the deep abdominal muscles help stabilize the pelvis and spine while the glutes generate force. Without adequate core control, the lower back often takes over, reducing the effectiveness of the exercise and increasing strain elsewhere,” Behrens adds.

How To Modify the Footbar Bridge if You Don’t Have a Reformer

If you don't have access to a reformer, no worries! You don't need one to reap the glute-strengthening benefits of this exercise. A classic mat bridge hits the same muscles using the same principles of alignment and control.

Here's how to do it:

• Lie flat on your back on a mat, with your knees bent and feet planted hip-width apart on the floor, roughly under your knees.
• Place your arms by your sides, palms down, for stability.
• Activate your core, press through your heels, and slowly lift your hips toward the ceiling until your body is straight from shoulders to knees.
• Hold for a moment at the top, squeezing your glutes.
• Use control to lower.

Just like the reformer version, the same cues apply: even pressure through both heels, equal energy through the right and left sides of the body, and a strong heel-to-glute connection so the hamstrings and lower back don't take over.

If you want to increase the challenge, try single-leg bridges, add a pulse at the top, place a resistance band around your thighs just above the knees, or hold a light dumbbell or weight plate across your hips. You can also experiment with spinal articulation—peeling the spine off the mat one vertebra at a time—versus keeping the spine long and neutral throughout.

Moral of the story? If you’re looking to build strong, sculpted glutes, Pilates is here to deliver real results.

Biopics often make headlines for a variety of different reasons, whether it's good or bad. While some receive only a ton of praise from critics and audiences alike, others don't come without their own string of controversies. The latter can be true for this year's most talked about biopic based on the life of the King of Pop.

Michael, the latest movie to detail Michael Jackson's life and career, faced backlash after it failed to address the "Thriller" singer's allegations of child sexual abuse. However, the negative feelings haven't stopped the film from making history and becoming the first-ever biopic to surpass $1 billion at the box office.

The movie, which was released on Apr. 24, 2026, is Lionsgate and Universal's highest-grossing films in over a decade, with 2013's The Huger Games being the last release to break the record.

"Audiences have embraced the film from the beginning, turning it into a unique cultural phenomenon in theaters around the world," Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Chair Adam Fogelson said in a statement. "Their passion speaks to the enduring appeal of one of the greatest recording artists of all time, and it underscores the continued strength and vitality of the theatrical moviegoing experience."

Directed by Antoine Fuqua, written by John Logan, and produced by Graham King, Michael stars the legendary "Billie Jean" singer's nephewJaafar Jackson. The film chronicles Jackson's professional milestones and personal struggles from his child stardom with the Jackson 5 up through the Bad World Tour, which took place in the late 1980s.

In 2025, the musician's daughter, Paris Jackson, spoke out against the movie. "It’s fantasy land. It’s not real but it’s sold to you as real and a lot is sugar-coated,” she posted to her social media in September 2025, per the New York Post. "The narrative is being controlled and there’s a lot of inaccuracy and there’s a lot of just full-blown lies."

More than six decades after it first dominated the charts, Bobby Lewis' hit "Tossin' and Turnin'" continues to stand among music's most enduring seasonal anthems.

Billboard ranks the 1961 smash No. 3 on its Greatest of All Time Songs of the Summer chart, placing it behind only Puff Daddy and Faith Evans featuring 112's "I'll Be Missing You" and Brandy and Monica's "The Boy Is Mine." The ranking compares the biggest Songs of the Summer across multiple decades, building on Billboard's annual Songs of the Summer chart, which measures cumulative performance on the Hot 100 during the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Recorded in late 1960, "Tossin' and Turnin'" caught fire the following summer. The energetic rhythm-and-blues rocker reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on July 10, 1961, remaining there for seven consecutive weeks before finishing as Billboard's year-end No. 1 single of the year. More than 60 years later, it remains one of only six songs from the whole decade of the 1960s to spend at least seven weeks atop the Hot 100.

The song tells the familiar story of a man lying awake because he can't stop thinking about his lover. Yet its pounding beat, handclaps and jubilant saxophone solo transform sleepless frustration into something irresistibly danceable.

That contrast is part of what has kept the record alive for generations. In his retrospective series on every Billboard Hot 100 No. 1, Stereogum critic Tom Breihan praised the record's explosive energy, calling it "history's greatest insomnia-themed party anthem" while highlighting its unforgettable saxophone break.

Originally written by Ritchie Adams and Malou René, "Tossin' and Turnin'" was first intended for singer Jackie Wilson before Lewis recorded it for the independent Beltone label. The gamble paid off spectacularly, giving Lewis the defining hit of his career.

Lewis' own story was remarkable. Born in Indianapolis in 1925, he spent much of his childhood in an orphanage before being adopted at age 12. Despite severe vision problems, he taught himself piano as a young child, later performing in carnival shows and with local orchestras before finally breaking through nationally in his mid-30s.

His success on the pop charts proved brief. Lewis scored one more Top 10 hit later in 1961 with "One Track Mind," but never again reached the heights of "Tossin' and Turnin'." Even so, the song endured through appearances in films including Animal House, introducing it to new generations of listeners.

It also found an unexpected second life in 1987, when alternative rock pioneers The Replacements recorded a delightfully off-kilter version as a bonus track on the reissue of Pleased to Meet Me. Rather than simply recreating the original, the Minneapolis band quickly veered into improvised jokes, musical detours and snippets of other songs. Pittsburgh public radio station WYEP, ranking every Replacements song, described the recording as beginning "fairly faithful" before the band starts "ad-libbing absurdisms and weaving in stream-of-consciousness bits of other songs," calling it "fun for the more dedicated fans of the band."

Lewis continued performing into his 80s despite becoming virtually blind, often saying that, as Stevie Wonder once observed, inner vision could matter just as much as eyesight. He died in 2020 at age 95.

Today, "Tossin' and Turnin'" isn't simply remembered as one of the biggest hits of 1961. Thanks to its remarkable staying power and Billboard's all-time ranking, it remains one of the greatest songs ever to soundtrack an American summer.

In 1971, Honey Cone went from rising trio to chart-topping stars with a song about knowing when to walk away from a relationship.

"Want Ads" became the group's first and only No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, turning the female vocal trio into one of the breakout acts of the year. More than five decades later, the upbeat rocker continues to resonate as an empowering breakup anthem built on confidence, independence and moving forward.

"We started recording in 1968 after Eddie Holland saw us on the Andy Williams TV Special, pre-Honey Cone," Clark told Cryptic Rock. "We were brought in as session singers to sing behind Burt Bacharach and Dionne Warwick. Eddie was watching at Edna Wright's request because he wanted to sign her as a solo. She said, 'Absolutely not. I'll be in a group, though. If you like this group that you see, you can sign us.'"

"Wants Ads" flipped a familiar heartbreak story on its head.

Written by General Johnson, Greg Perry and Angelo Bond, "Want Ads" follows a woman who has grown tired of an unfaithful partner and jokingly decides to place a newspaper classified ad to find someone better. Rather than dwelling on sadness, the lyrics celebrate taking control of the situation and refusing to settle for less.

That confident message helped the song stand out.

Driven by infectious harmonies, a catchy horn arrangement and an irresistible groove, "Want Ads" blended rock, soul and pop into a radio-friendly hit that appealed to audiences across multiple formats. Honey Cone's spirited vocal performance gave the song an uplifting energy that contrasted with its subject matter, making it one of the era's most memorable breakup songs.

The single quickly became a career-defining success.

Released on Hot Wax Records, "Want Ads" climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and also topped Billboard's Best Selling Soul Singles chart. Its success helped establish Honey Cone, comprised of Edna Wright, Carolyn Willis and Shelly Clark, as one of the leading female vocal groups of the early 1970s and opened the door for additional hits such as "Stick-Up” and "One Monkey Don’t Stop No Show."

"We were the first artists on the world-famous TV show Soul Train, quite an honor," Clark said in an interview with Broadway World. "We kicked off that very first episode in Chicago in 1971. We were invited back on the show three more times."

Although the trio's time at the top of the charts was relatively brief, "Want Ads" never faded from popular culture. The song has appeared in films, television shows and commercials over the years, introducing its message of self-worth and resilience to new generations of listeners.

More than 50 years after it became Honey Cone's career-changing No. 1 hit, "Want Ads" remains as refreshing as ever. Its blend of catchy hooks, soulful harmonies and unapologetic independence has helped cement its legacy as one of the most enduring breakup anthems of the 1970s.

Donald Trump is speaking candidly about his last call with Lindsey Graham. The South Carolina Senator passed away on Saturday, July 11, from what his representatives said was a “brief and sudden illness.”

On Sunday morning, the President spoke to CNN’sJake Tapper, sharing, “Well, it’s devastating. I thought he was fine. He called me last night. He just got back from Ukraine. And he had a great trip. He was telling me about the trip. He was pushing very, very hard. You probably know he wanted to do the SAVE America Act, that he was talking about that.”

Trump continued, “He was full of vim and vigor. He was tired. He said, ‘I’m tired, because it’s a long trip.’ But other than that, he was fine.”

The President detailed a timeline of his call with Graham, adding, “And he called me, I guess, just moments before because he called me like, at 6:30 or something, and the medical people got there a little bit later. Right after that. What a terrible loss it is.”

Later in the interview, Trump explained, “He had already landed. He was probably at his place. I don’t know where he was, but I spoke to him. And then I got a call a few hours later, saying, late in the evening, at 2:00 in the morning actually, but they found out about it, I think, about 8:00, about his problem. So it had to be something very quick because he was fine. Other than being tired, he was fine.”

Known as a problem-solver, Graham was a Senator who, as Trump said, is “A  great politician. He was a natural politician. Got along with everybody. When he didn’t, he was very tough. He was a tough cookie, too. But he got along with everybody.” The Commander-In-Chief also reminisced, “There was no better advocate. He was a fantastic advocate in the Senate. He was able to, if I had a really big problem with a certain democrat, he could work it out. That’s something most republicans can’t do.”

Trump also praised Senator Lindsey Graham to other news outlets, telling Kristen Welker of Meet the Press, “He’s a tough one to lose. He was great. He was unique in every way.” On Sunday, July 12, Graham was scheduled to appear on Meet the Press for what would have been his 64th time.

Seeming stunned at the news of the Senator’s death, Trump added, “It could have been his last call. I don’t know exactly…I just can’t believe it. He was like a member of the family to me.”

Harrison Ford is entering his 84th year looking as action-hero-ready as ever.

Just two day before celebrating his 84th birthday (which is July 13), the legendary actor was photographed enjoying a bike ride through Los Angeles looking as fit as ever. In photos obtained by Page Six, the actor was dressed in a low-cut cycling bib, showing off his muscular arms and abs while braving the Southern California heat during the solo outing.

Ford's impressive physique didn't happen overnight. Staying active has long been part of his lifestyle, with cycling and tennis remaining regular fixtures in his routine well into his 80s.

His commitment to fitness actually dates back more than four decades. According to Men's Health, Ford began taking weight training seriously while preparing for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in the early 1980s. Knowing the role required him to appear shirtless, he teamed up with celebrity trainer Jake Steinfeld to build a stronger, more athletic physique.

The pair focused on functional strength through high-repetition workouts with moderate weights. Steinfeld told the publication their weekly split looked like this: "Monday, Thursday: chest and triceps. Tuesday, Friday: back and biceps. Wednesday, Saturday: shoulders and legs. Abs every day."

More than 40 years later, Ford's training philosophy has evolved, but fitness remains a priority. Per the outlet, the longtime trainer, Jamie Milnes, now centers workouts around total-body strength, mobility and core stability using tools like dumbbells and medicine balls to help keep the actor moving well both on and off screen.

Considering Ford still regularly cycles, plays tennis, and continues taking on physically demanding acting roles, it's hard to argue with the results, but he says he does it mainly for prevention purposes. “I believe in training for injury prevention more than anything else. I’m an old fart and I need to protect myself,” he said to Men’s Health.

Most recently, Ford has starred as Dr. Paul Rhoades on Apple TV+'s Shrinking. The series wrapped its third season which premiered earlier this year and has already been renewed for a fourth, with Ford confirmed to reprise his fan-favorite role

Wai Ching Ho, whose decades-long career spanned Marvel's small screen and Pixar's animated features, has died at 82. Ho spent years bringing the calculating crime boss Madame Gao to life across Daredevil, Iron Fist and The Defenders, a role that made her one of the most memorable villains in Marvel's Netflix era. 

News of Ho's death was revealed by her Daredevil costar Peter Shinkoda, who played Nobu Yoshioka opposite her in the show's first season.

For a younger generation of fans, she'll be remembered for something else entirely — the warm, gently mischievous voice behind Grandma Wu in Turning Red, the 2022 Pixar film that earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Feature.

A cause of death has not been made public.

Costar Peter Shinkoda Shares a Heartbreaking Tribute View this post on Instagram

While sharing the news of Ho's death on Instagram with a short, heartfelt message. "Just lost someone very special to me," he wrote. "She was one of the coolest. Thinking aloud." Shinkoda followed up with a longer tribute soon after. "I won't ever forget you," he wrote. "I learned every minute from you when we were together on and off set. We will meet again, my friend. You were beautiful."

Friends and Collaborators Remember a Mentor View this post on Instagram

Actress Mahira Kakkar, who worked alongside Ho in the National Asian American Theatre Company's staging of "Henry VI," also shared a tribute honoring both her talent and her generosity toward younger performers.

"I had the enormous good fortune to work with Wai Ching Ho and to share a dressing room with her," Kakkar wrote. "She was incredible—warm, funny, caring, joyful, positive and a truly wonderful actor. At the age of 82? 83? she played a lead role—basically a female King Lear, and was riveting."

Kakkar also recalled Ho's warmth off stage, including a piece of advice she often repeated. "She would say to us- Eat two slices of raw ginger every day and you won't get sick! For those of us who did not have a lot of role models and mentors in the industry Wai was a pillar. I am deeply grateful I got to know her and I am very sad she is gone. She also utterly refused to speak ill of anyone. My dear Wai you deserve all the standing ovations- what a stellar human and a stellar artist. What an example of how to live."

A Career That Spanned More Than Three Decades

Ho was born in Hong Kong on November 16, 1943, and her career reached far beyond the Marvel Cinematic Universe. IMDb credits her with 71 roles across film and television, starting with her 1990 debut in Cadillac Man. She went on to appear multiple times throughout the Law & Order franchise, as well as in Flight of the Conchords, Orange Is the New Black, Fresh Off the Boat, The Good Cop, New Amsterdam, Hustlers, and Only Murders in the Building.

Her stage work drew acclaim too, with standout performances in "Endlings," "Snow in Midsummer" and "Pearl's Beauty Salon."

Rosie O'Donnell says a recent visit with her daughter, Chelsea, marked a turning point in a relationship that has been strained for years.

Speaking exclusively to Page Six in an article shared on Sunday, July 12, the comedian revealed that spending four hours with Chelsea while she was in prison led to what she described as "the first conversation I've had with her in 10 years that lasted more than 25 minutes." The pair’s relationship has faced public ups and downs over the past decade.

"The first time that I saw her in a consistent way was the four hours in the prison," O'Donnell, 64, explained to the outlet, adding that Chelsea became emotional when their visit was cut short because of a tornado warning.

"And that's the first time I've seen, kind of, an empathetic emotion from her," she continued. "So, you know, she's growing up, and I hope that her future is brighter than this past decade has been."

The reunion clearly left a lasting impression. O'Donnell shared a heartfelt poem inspired by the visit last month on Instagram, alongside a rare photo of the two together. In it, she described arriving early and listening as "The guard explained the rules," before writing, "A hug hello and goodbye only / No money exchanged / Hands above the table / No loud voices."

She also recalled the moment Chelsea entered the visitation room, writing that her heart "skip[ped] a beat." O'Donnell described her daughter as looking healthy, calm and well-rested, and said they shared a long embrace before spending four hours talking.

Fans resonated with the emotional post, too.

“It’s heartbreaking to see someone you love so much in prison , as you know 😢 Prayers for your girl,” one wrote.

Another shared, “I was in the chair too. My parents never gave up on me. After 28 times. That almost 40 years ago.”

“This so vulnerable & beautiful @rosie. As a mother I can’t imagine how difficult this has been,” a third said.

Chelsea, who is the eldest of O'Donnell's five children, has faced ongoing legal troubles in recent years. In February 2025, she appeared in court on charges including felony bail jumping, resisting or obstructing an officer, possession of methamphetamine and child neglect. She was sentenced to six years of probation but was warned that jail time was possible if she violated the terms. After her probation was revoked in October 2025, she was sentenced to jail.

Mick Jagger is looking back at one of John Mulaney's most memorable jokes and he isn't exactly disagreeing. The Rolling Stones frontman, 82, addressed Mulaney's long-discussed comments about working with him on Saturday Night Live during a candid new interview with The New York Times Magazine.

Back in his 2019 Netflix special Kid Gorgeous at Radio City, Mulaney recalled pitching sketch ideas while working as an SNL writer during one of Jagger's hosting appearances. "My friends were all like, 'Is he nice?' No. Or maybe he is, for his version of life because he has a very different life," Mulaney joked at the time, adding that decades of performing in front of sold-out stadiums would inevitably change someone. 

While Jagger admitted he had never actually seen the comedy special, he acknowledged there was some truth behind Mulaney's observations. "Obviously, it's not normal," Jagger said of his extraordinary lifestyle. "It is not like most people's lives. It does affect you. You can become disassociated."

View this post on Instagram

Still, the legendary rocker said staying connected to everyday life has been something he's intentionally worked at throughout his career. "I mean, you do fight against it. It's a conscious effort," he explained. Jagger said one way he tries to stay grounded is by doing ordinary things on his own. "But, nevertheless, that's only temporary because psychologically your actual state of mind is permanently damaged."

The music icon also reflected on the unique pressures that come with decades in the spotlight. "Your late 20s and early 30s is a very tough time for people in this business because it's a big ego trip, and you have to have a huge ego to do this," he said. "People that do this that don't have huge egos have huge problems because they have to manufacture a completely different personality."

Fortunately, Jagger says he's learned how to separate his larger-than-life stage persona from his private life over the years. "I think it comes with age," he explained. "This is the show business dichotomy, and it's something you learn to live with, and you always hope that you're a so-called normal person underneath."

At 82, Jagger shows no signs of slowing down. The Rolling Stones released their 25th studio album, Foreign Tongues, earlier this month, featuring collaborations with Paul McCartney, Bruno Mars, and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has died at the age of 71.

What is Lindsey Graham's cause of death?

According to police scanner audio obtained by NBC News, emergency personnel responded to a report of a person suffering from chest pains and cardiac arrest at Graham's Washington D.C. home Saturday evening.

TMZ also obtained photos of Graham being wheeled out of his home by paramedics on a gurney.

The Senator was scheduled to appear on the network's Meet the Press on Sunday morning, and a senior Graham staffer told the outlet there had been no indication Graham had been feeling ill before his death.

In fact, the day before his death, Graham met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Ukraine, announcing that same day an agreement with the Trump administration to advance a package of Russia sanctions.

No further information regarding his cause of death is available at this time.

Tributes and legacy

"Senator Lindsey Graham, one of the greatest people and Senators I have ever known, is dead!" President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social. "He was always working, and was a true American Patriot. Lindsey will be greatly missed!!! DETAILS AND ARRANGEMENTS TO FOLLOW. So sad!"

In an interview with Meet the Press on Sunday, the president said that he spoke with Graham on Saturday night just hours before he died.

Trump said that, aside from being tired, Graham was "fine," adding that he believed his death was a “quick end, and maybe that’s not the worst way to go.”

“He actually said he was tired, but he wanted to pass the SAVE America Act, and I said, ‘Well, we’re going to get it done, Lindsey. We’re going to get it done. I’ll see you, like, soon,’” Trump said, adding that the two discussed potentially meeting on Sunday.

While many of us have cabinets stocked with plain clear glasses of various shapes and sizes for water, juice, champagne or wine, it can be fun to jazz things up a little. And vintage glassware is a great option for doing just that. Drinking glasses of yore were often colorful, patterned or more interestingly shaped compared to what is commonly available in stores today. Plus, vintage glasses can also be used as pretty decor or unique flower vases. With these period styles, it's not all about practical use—some collectors get really into it and want to just have them around to display.

So, if you’re looking to get into vintage glassware collecting—or at least trying to have a little fun hunting down something cool—where do you begin? Parade consulted with Samantha Robinson, the Vice President of Design at Heritage Auctions, as well as experts at 1stDibsabout this trend. 

From what you should look out for when shopping for classic glassware, to what counts as "vintage," to the seven styles that deserve to make a comeback, here’s everything we learned.

What Is Vintage Glassware?

For something to be considered vintage, it has to do with its age.

“While ‘antique’ is a term applied to objects over 100 years old, ‘vintage’ refers to objects made between 25 and 99 years ago,” says Robinson. “In 2026, any object produced between 2001 and 1927 is ‘vintage,’ regardless of style.”

This means that “vintage” currently includes everything from “American Depression glass, to mid-century Murano stemware, to well-known patterns from luxury brands like Baccarat and Saint-Louis,” the auctioneer continues. 

"For collectors, the most desirable vintage glassware has distinct period characteristics," the experts at 1stDibs add. "These period styles can be elegant, nostalgic or even playful, and add a wonderful sense of whimsy to a contemporary tabletop."

What Should You Look for When You Go Shopping for Vintage Glassware?

Unless you are looking for a particular brand or style, Robinson says that when shopping for vintage glassware, just “follow your instincts and go for pieces with forms, colors and patterns that draw your eye.” 

She also recommends looking for a manufacturer’s mark on the bottom of the glass, especially if you want to know whether you’re buying something that has become particularly valuable.

“A mark gives clues on the history of the piece and its potential value,” she says. “Also look for damage, as a chip, crack or restoration can impact value and usability.”

You also have to be aware of whether the glassware is safe, especially if you are looking to drink from the glasses, rather than just collect them.

"Another important consideration [for] vintage glassware is its material constitution, particularly if purchasing for functional use," 1stDibs's experts explain. "Prior to the 1980s, lead was often used in glassware, particularly crystal, to make pieces more brilliant."

Where Can You Buy Vintage Glassware?

As with anything vintage, where you shop is going to depend on the value and availability of an item. For example, you can find vintage clothes in any thrift store, but you’re unlikely to find, say, a vintage Chanel suit.

“For high-end glassware from well-known brands and manufacturers like Tiffany Studios or Lalique, bid at a reputable auction house like Heritage Auctions,” Robinson says. For serious collectors, 1stDibs also recommends Elise Abrams Antiques, a seller on the website.

For those getting into vintage glassware more casually, Robinson suggests checking out Everything But the House, Facebook Marketplace and brick-and-mortar antique, consignment and thrift shops, all of which offer wide ranges of items.

“You never know what you’ll find!” she states.

“I am particularly fond of Tiffany Studios Pastel glassware, which barely makes the ‘vintage’ cut given it was produced during the 1920s,” explains Robinson. “This line featured handblown tableware and glassware in pastel shades such as aqua, pink and chartreuse that would be a welcome addition to tablescapes today.”

2. Art Deco Glassware

“The pared-down forms of Art Deco and Streamline Moderne from the 1920s to the 1940s also deserve a second look. Glassware of this period is generally clear with simple molded or etched decorative elements,” Robinson tells Parade.

Robinson says that both Art Deco and Streamline Modern glassware “can fit in with a wide range of tableware and decorative table elements. These Walter Dorwin Teague-designed Libbey cocktail glasses are a perfect example.”

4. Gilt-Decorated Glassware

"Colored overlay glass and gilt-decorated pieces offer such charm and whimsy, and they well deserve a comeback as the perfect accoutrements to a Maximalist interior or tabletop," say the experts at 1stDibs.

On that note, the 1stDibs experts continue: "The beauty of a well-formed glassware collection is that it should include an array of styles, not just forms. Incorporating color is a great way to build depth and character on a table."

6. Vintage Coupes

"Vintage coupes continue to captivate collectors and entertainers alike, their lasting appeal rooted in the glamour and ritual of classic cocktail culture," says the experts at 1stDibs. "Available in a remarkable range of silhouettes, colors and decorative details, antique coupes bring character and sophistication to any tablescape and make an especially elegant vessel for champagne cocktails."

"Goblets, wine glasses and champagne flutes remain among the most timeless categories of vintage and antique glassware," experts at 1stDibs tell Parade. "Their popularity stems from the exceptional craftsmanship of fine crystal stemware, whose beauty, artistry and elegance transcend fleeting design trends and continue to resonate with contemporary collectors."
