It’s amazing what a sparkly bracelet can do for an outfit. Add it to basic jeans and a cardigan, and suddenly the entire look feels elevated. Pair it with your favorite night-out dress, and it instantly feels even more special. No matter what you have lined up for the day, the Macy’s Diamond Bolo Bracelet makes a lovely finishing touch.

This elegant accent catches the eye in the best way — and has quite an impressive gleam thanks to a series of round diamonds, each weighing one-tenth of a carat. While this stunner retails for $250, it’s currently marked down to just $63. That is a brilliant 75% discount on a genuine diamond bracelet that one shopper said “looks more expensive than it is.” Shoppers can take their pick from sterling silver, gold plating, or rose gold plating.

The best part? You don’t have to stress about sizing. The bolo clasp makes this piece fully adjustable with a simple tug of the chain, so it is guaranteed to fit comfortably on virtually any wrist. That makes it an especially great pick for gifting since you don’t have to guess at measurements.

The diamonds themselves bring just the right amount of sparkle. They’re bright and eye-catching, yet versatile enough for daily wear. Rated J-K in color, they have a soft, natural glow that looks stunning in the sterling silver finish. With a clarity rating of I2-I3, they shine beautifully to the naked eye.

At this price, it has the vibe of an indulgent splurge without the sticker shock, which has made it a favorite for gifting. Hundreds of Macy’s shoppers have given it five stars, praising everything from the shine factor to the classic design.

“This bracelet is dainty and beautiful,” one customer wrote. “It is sparkly and just adorable! Love it!” 

Several people also commented on the excellent fit. “My daughter, who is very petite, always has a difficult time finding bracelets that fit her wrists. Not only is this bracelet beautiful, it fits perfectly. She loves the delicate look.”

Faux fur can make just about anything feel a little more luxurious. From fluffy accent pillows to plush throws draped over a sofa arm, the soft, touchable texture brings cozy, sink-right-in vibes that make a house feel more like a home. And when temperatures drop, I’m all for adding an extra layer of softness to the bedroom, where a few well-chosen textures can make the whole space feel like a snug little retreat.

That’s why a faux fur comforter set caught my eye at T.J. Maxx. It’ll make you want to fluff your pillows, pull the covers over your shoulders and pretend your morning alarm doesn’t exist.

What I love about this comforter set is how it can make a room feel instantly more inviting. Instead of relying on a bold pattern or bright color to make a statement, the texture does the heavy lifting. It gives the bed a soft, dimensional look that feels a little glamorous but still relaxed enough for everyday living. And if I’m going to invest in a bedroom upgrade, I want something that looks good and makes me want to crawl under the covers at the end of a long day.

Naturally, it’s a perfect fit for fall and winter decorating, when layers and warm textures can make a bedroom feel extra snug.

How to Style This Cozy Bedding Find

I’d pair this with bold rust or gold sheets and a couple of animal print pillows to keep the bed looking chic. If the room needs more warmth, I’d add wood nightstands, a warm-toned table lamp or a woven basket for extra blankets.

For a more elevated look, I’d lean into a black-and-warm-color palette, mixing the faux fur with linen or knit textures for contrast. Prefer something moodier? Deep-brown accents, charcoal bedding or a rich-colored throw can give the room a cozy, boutique hotel feel. A tidy nightstand, soft lighting and a plush rug are all you really need to complete the look.

If you grew up in the ’80s, you probably remember the Dustbuster as the answer to just about every household mess. Crumble a cracker on the kitchen floor? Better get that Dustbuster before Mom finds out. Spill some cereal under the table? No problem, just give it a quick once-over. Last-minute company coming over? Nothing says “this house is totally clean” like a little low-key Dustbusting before the doorbell rings. In my house, it was probably the most-used appliance after the microwave, and honestly, it earned its keep. No dragging out the full-size vacuum, wrestling with a cord or maneuvering a bulky machine around furniture. You just grabbed the trusty handheld and got to work.

That’s why it’s fun to see this household staple getting a modern makeover. The original Dustbuster revolutionized quick cleanups when it debuted in 1979, and today’s version keeps that grab-and-go convenience in a smaller package.

Enter the Dustbuster Mini, a handheld vacuum that weighs less than a pound. It’s designed for those little messes that don’t warrant a full cleaning production, whether you’re tackling crumbs on the counter or tidying up a small spill. Some things never go out of style—especially when they save you from Mom’s side-eye, only now you might be the Mom.

The Dustbuster Mini may be small, but it’s ready to tackle plenty of everyday messes. I’ve tried it out myself and it’s super easy to maneuver around tight spaces and stash in a drawer or your car for quick cleanups.

Select models offer a three-in-one design with inflation and vacuum-pump functionality, too (which is pretty cool). The specialized attachments help you get into narrow gaps, car vents, keyboards and other hard-to-reach areas where dust loves to hide. It charges via USB (you’ll need to supply your own adapter or purchase one separately)—so convenient.

How Much Does the Dustbuster Mini Cost?

Fortunately, the Dustbuster Mini doesn’t come with a supersized price tag. You can find it at Target for $39.99. (According to the website, more than 1,000 of ’em have sold this month—and it just launched on Oct. 1.)

Now my kids have no excuse to leave a mess—the mini is lightweight enough for even my smallest kiddo to operate. No side-eye required.

Charli XCX has canceled her upcoming Arizona concert, leaving fans with little notice before the show.

The singer shared the news on her Instagram story Tuesday night, October 20, addressing the message to her “Arizona angels” and apologizing to everyone who had planned to attend.

In her post, Charli said she had been sick throughout the tour and could no longer perform. “i have been fighting sickness throughout this run of shows and have now completely lost my voice,” she wrote. She added that she puts everything into her performances and said she was “so disappointed” to miss the Glendale date.

The concert was scheduled for Wednesday, October 21, and would have been the second-to-last 2026 stop on her Music, Fashion, Film Tour. Charli’s U.S. run is set to conclude Friday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The tour began last month in Philadelphia, and additional dates in Europe and South America are planned for 2027.

Charli said her team tried to reschedule the Glendale show but could not find a new date. Ticketmaster customers will receive automatic refunds; other ticket holders can request one from their original point of purchase.

She apologized to fans who had made plans, noting the time and care it takes to attend a concert, and promised she would return to Arizona in the future. She is now resting before the Las Vegas performance, which she hopes to make. “I want to be back onstage and finish this tour together with you,” she finished her message.

The cancellation comes during a busy stretch for the pop star, who recently announced a two-year partnership with Absolut. The collaboration is expected to include limited-edition products, collectible merchandise, glassware, and fan events, per PEOPLE. Charli said the brand’s desire to create something “a little chaotic” immediately appealed to her.

She teased the partnership at a recent Los Angeles concert, where “ABSOLUT XCX” appeared on screens.

The Real Housewives of New York City OGs are back together in classic fashion on The Golden Life, serving up the same comedy, cattiness, and conflict that made them Bravo legends. And while Dorinda Medley and Sonja Morgan insist they’re ready to move on from their decade-old feud, the new series is already proving that old Housewives grudges die hard.

In the premiere set in beautiful Palm Beach, Florida, Sonja revisits the infamous “unf—able” clash with Dorinda, which dates back to 2016, when Dorinda invited the RHONY cast to her Bluestone Manor estate in the Berkshires but left Sonja off the guest list. The snub sparked a rift that has lingered for years, despite Dorinda’s insistence that they’ve hashed it out more than once.

Sonja, however, isn’t ready to let it go. And a yacht party proves that the old wound is far from healed. When Sonja brings up the past, Dorinda attempts to sidestep the accusation, but Sonja is clearly frustrated that she still doesn’t feel acknowledged. The awkward exchange ends with Sonja stumbling into another guest and breaking his wine glass — quite the party favor.

Later, Luann de Lesseps and Dorinda question whether Sonja is being honest about certain aspects of her life, speculating that her financial struggles may be affecting her behavior. Meanwhile, Sonja opens up to Kelly Bensimon during Pilates, explaining why she wants to work things out with Dorinda.

“If I’m still hurting and she’s my friend, wouldn’t she want to just discuss it and move on? That’s what I want,” Sonja says.

But the Bluestone Manor snub isn’t the only thing weighing on Sonja. She’s also hurt by Dorinda’s comments about her alleged romantic escapades in St. Tropez, saying the remarks were damaging not only to her but to her family.

“To say I was f’ing around in St. Tropez is very hurtful, not only to the Morgans and the Adams and my daughter but to me as the mother to Quincy,” Sonja says.

The tension bubbles beneath the surface at Ramona Singer‘s exclusive sip-and-shop trunk show, where Dorinda and Luann arrive fashionably late. Sonja barely acknowledges them until Dorinda decides to try on a dress. Sonja wastes no time delivering a critique.

“Does it come in another color?” she asks.

When Dorinda points out that everyone likes the mustard-colored dress with its embellishments, Sonja delivers another dig: “Not on you … well, you need a suntan.”

As the other women gush over Dorinda’s look, Sonja mutters, “Well, they’re colorblind.”

Clearly, the two aren’t exactly ready to bury the hatchet. The tension finally boils over at dinner, when Dorinda and Luann confront Sonja after she repeatedly insists she didn’t see them at the trunk show. The women aren’t buying it, with Dorinda and Luann dismissing Sonja’s explanation as “bullsh—” and accusing her of taking “delusion to a whole other level.”

The confrontation quickly overwhelms Sonja, whose face turns visibly flushed as the women continue pressing her.

“I’m freaking out in the middle of all of this!” she exclaims. “It’s a tsunami; I think I’m sick.”

Luann grows concerned as Sonja’s agitation escalates, and Sonja eventually excuses herself to the bathroom, where she vomits.

Sonja does eventually rejoin the group, and the evening ends with the women turning dinner into a full-on restaurant party. But don’t mistake the celebratory ending for a resolution—especially when Ramona and Sonja get way too cozy with Luann’s boyfriend Michael.

If The Golden Life has made anything clear so far, it’s that these Housewives have plenty of unfinished business — and the season’s previews promise this is only the beginning of the drama.

Oh, if these walls could talk! In 1948, Standard Oil heir William Hale Harkness and his wife, Rebekah Harkness, purchased a sprawling seaside property on the southwestern tip of Rhode Island for $80,000. More than six decades later, Taylor Swift acquired the estate for $17.75 million in cash.

Located in Watch Hill, an affluent coastal village in Westerly, Rhode Island, the oceanfront setting is impressive. Set on the highest point of Watch Hill, perched dramatically atop a bluff, imagine unobstructed 700-foot views of the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding island. Then there is the massive private beachfront and five acres of coastal land. But perhaps its most intriguing connection may be to the unconventional heiress who once lived there. She even inspired Swift’s 2020 song “The Last Great American Dynasty.”

A Mansion With a Remarkable History

The house was built between 1929–1930 for Pearl Pinkerton McClelland Snowden, the widow of George Grant Snowden. The Snowden had made their fortune in oil and gas exploration. Pearl envisioned a swanky summer residence on a bluff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

The property, which became known as Holiday House, was impressive, even for tony Watch Hill. Today, the estate is reported to encompass approximately five acres, with more than 700 feet of beachfront and a residence measuring roughly 11,000 to 12,000 square feet. Contemporary real estate coverage described the home as having seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms when Swift purchased it.

In 1948, the property passed to William Hale Harkness and his wife, Rebekah. William was an heir to the Standard Oil fortune, and Rebekah would eventually make the estate synonymous with her own larger-than-life personality.

The Heiress Who Captivated and Ruffled Her Neighbors

Rebekah Harkness was much more than a wealthy society hostess. She was a composer, sculptor and philanthropist with a particular interest in ballet. Following her husband’s death in 1954, she used her fortune to support the arts and pursue her creative ambitions, eventually founding the Harkness Ballet.

Holiday House became part of her legend. Her unconventional approach to wealth and social life helped make her a memorable, if controversial, figure in Watch Hill.

Harkness used her wealth to fund an eccentric and boundary-pushing lifestyle that routinely shocked her conservative neighbors. From filling her swimming pool with Dom Pérignon Champagne to dying a neighbor’s cat lime green, her behavior was all about defiance.

Her estate became a chaotic creative hub where she hosted the Harkness Ballet company, staging loud rehearsals on the lawn and filling the mansion with avant-garde artists and dancers. By treating her immense wealth as a playground for artistic obsession and personal whims rather than social posturing, Harkness permanently disrupted the quiet dignity of the Rhode Island society. It cemented her legacy as a fascinatingly reckless rebel who preferred notoriety over social acceptance.

The $17.75 Million Sale

In April 2013, the oceanfront mansion changed hands for $17.75 million. According to reporting by The Boston Globe, the deed filed in Westerly identified the buyer as Harbor Land Revocable Trust. The transaction was widely attributed to Swift, who was 23 at the time. Reports said the purchase was made in cash.

The sale was a significant moment for the local real estate market. The property had reportedly been listed for as much as $24 million, and its purchase price made headlines well beyond Rhode Island.

One of the most revealing comments about the house came from former owner Marlene Benson, who had owned the property with her husband, James. In The Boston Globe, she described living there as “like being on a large ocean liner, only it doesn’t go anywhere.”

The House That Inspired a Taylor Swift Song

In 2020, Swift released “Folklore,” an album that included “The Last Great American Dynasty.” The song recounts the story of a wealthy woman who marries into the Standard Oil fortune, settles into a seaside home and becomes the subject of local gossip. There are many parallels to Rebekah Harkness.

Swift revisits the parties and controversies associated with Harkness, then brings the story into the present by revealing her own connection to the property. The song tells a story about wealth, reputation and the ways women are remembered.

Rather than simply presenting Harkness as a wealthy eccentric, the song gave her a place in a continuing story. As the lyrics go, “She had a marvelous time ruining everything.” And also… “Fifty years is a long time / Holiday House sat quietly on that beach / Free of women with madness, their men and bad habits / And then it was bought by me”

The mansion itself became the link between the two women. For Harkness, it was a setting for her ambitions and unconventional life. For Swift, it became a retreat and a source of creative inspiration.

The estate remains a private residence. But its public story has grown far beyond its Rhode Island setting. From an $80,000 purchase in 1948 to a $17.75 million sale in 2013, Holiday House has become much more than a spectacular coastal property. It is a place where the histories of two great women intersect. The mansion’s past inspired a new story and legacy.

With the holiday season fast approaching, many of us are spending more time in the kitchen, whether we’re planning festive dinners, testing new recipes, or baking treats to share with family and friends. Having the right equipment on hand can make all that prep feel less overwhelming, especially as your cooking and baking schedule fills up.

From roasting side dishes to whipping up desserts, dependable bakeware deserves a spot on your holiday checklist alongside the ingredients. After all, preparing a memorable meal is only part of the job. Cleanup waits once everyone has finished eating.

With that in mind, HexClad has introduced a new bakeware set just in time for the season. For home cooks looking to refresh their collection before the festivities begin, the new release could be worth a closer look ahead of the busiest baking days on your holiday calendar.

Hybrid Bakeware Set, 6-Piece, $399 at HexClad

HexClad

Shop It!

The HexClad Hybrid Bakeware Set brings those familiar formats together for $399. The six-piece collection includes five baking pans and a cooling rack, covering common needs without specialty molds or unusually shaped dishes.

Everyday Shapes, From Brownies to Birthday Cakes

The set includes two nine-inch round cake pans, an eight-by-eight-inch square pan, a nine-by-13-inch rectangular pan and a 10-by-15-inch baking sheet. A coordinating cooling rack completes the assortment.

Two matching round pans are especially handy for anyone who likes baking layer cakes. You can prepare both layers in matching pans rather than making a second batch in the same dish. Meanwhile, the square and rectangular options offer flexibility for smaller treats or larger desserts intended for sharing.

Think brownies for a weekend gathering, a simple sheet cake for a birthday or a fruit crumble to finish a family dinner. The baking sheet adds another familiar format for cookies and other recipes that need a flatter surface.

The collection also has potential beyond sweets. Savory bakes and roasted dishes give the pans a place in regular meal planning instead of limiting them to special occasions.

An Investment Worth Matching to Your Routine

At $399, the set deserves a closer look at what you already own. If your current pans work well and you only need one replacement, a full collection may be more than necessary. However, for someone replacing multiple pieces, the coordinated assortment could make more sense.

It is equally important to notice what is not included. No muffin tin or loaf pan is included, so banana bread, cupcakes and similar favorites would still require additional bakeware.m

The strongest reason to consider this collection is not simply its matching appearance. It lets you build a more useful baking lineup around dependable shapes you will actually reach for, whether the menu calls for a celebration cake or an ordinary weeknight bake.

Florida developer Glenn Straub paid $82 million for Revel, a casino that cost $2.4 billion to build. That works out to about 4 cents on the dollar, according to the Associated Press. The Atlantic City casino never turned a profit in its roughly two years of operation.

Revel was originally planned as two towers with 3,800 rooms, but it opened in April 2012 with one 47-story tower and 1,400 rooms, Forbes reported. Morgan Stanley bought the land for $74 million and put in $1.25 billion before pulling out in 2010, when construction was about 60% complete, per Forbes. Developer Kevin DeSanctis later raised $1.15 billion from hedge funds to finish it.

Competition from casinos in neighboring states and weak results hurt the resort quickly. Forbes reported that monthly revenue fell below $8 million by January 2013. Revel filed for bankruptcy in March 2013, claiming its value had dropped from $2.4 billion to $450 million, and it filed again in June 2014. The casino closed on Sept. 2, 2014.

Straub bid $90 million for the closed casino, but Brookfield Property Partners agreed to buy it for $110 million in October 2014, Forbes said. Brookfield backed out in November over the cost of the casino’s utility plant. A later $95.4 million deal with Straub fell through when he missed a closing deadline, according to CBS Philadelphia.

Straub and Revel finally agreed to $82 million on Feb. 24, 2015. A bankruptcy court approved the sale on April 2, and it closed on April 7, according to the Fox Business timeline.

Straub announced “Project Phoenix,” a plan to spend $500 million on Atlantic City projects over three years, the Associated Press said. Attorney Stuart Moskovitz offered one guarantee about the casino itself: “It won’t be Revel.”

Straub later sold the property to Integrated Properties for $200 million, according to Hotel Management. The new owner planned to reopen it as the Ocean Resort Casino.

Carl Icahn, whose talks over Revel fell through, per Forbes, did buy a smaller piece of Atlantic City: the boardinghouse Vera Coking refused to sell to Donald Trump.

Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson revealed that he once was involved in a game night with fellow actors, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, that turned heated.

While interviewing Bell’s Nobody Wants This co-star, Justine Lupe, for the October 20 episode of his podcast, Dinner’s On Me, Ferguson said that he attended a game night where Bell and Shepard were also guests. According to Ferguson, the couple, who wed in 2013, “locked in this crazy way” during a game of Mafia.

Ferguson explained that his role in the deduction game allowed him to know that Shepard was secretly a “mafioso,” not an innocent player like he was pretending to be. However, Bell refused to believe Ferguson that her husband was “part of the mafia.”

“She was like arguing with me across the room. She’s like, ‘I know him. He’s my husband. He is a terrible actor, like in games like this. He would not be able to pull the wool over my eyes,” said Ferguson during his podcast episode. “‘I’ve been watching him this whole game. None of the tells are there. I know him. I know him. I know him. I know him. I know him.’ And basically she would not believe me. She would not.”

According to Ferguson, Bell wasn’t happy with Shepard when his true Mafia role was revealed.

“Dax kills Kristen in the next round. We open up our eyes. She realizes she’s been killed. She looks at him ’cause she knows that he fooled her. She was livid,” said Ferguson with a laugh.

Kristen Bell Discussed What She Has Learned in Her Relationship With Dax Shepard

During a 2025 episode of Finding Your Roots, Bell shared what she has learned from being in a relationship with Shepard since 2007. According to Bell, her husband has helped her be more okay with making mistakes.

“There’s a lot of mistakes to be made. But mistakes don’t have to be filled with guilt or shame. They can be celebrated as learning experiences. And you can be honest about them. And I feel like I’ve become a lot more authentically me since I’ve met my husband. Because he’s been such a huge safety net of ‘It’s okay if you do things that you regret,'” said Bell, who has two children with Shepard, Lincoln, 13, and Delta, 11.

She also said that her and Shepard’s relationship is full of fun and trust.

“Most of all what I think I’ve learned is life, can be, if you choose, really about having fun with someone… Look, we fight just as much as every other couple. But there’s a trusting foundation underneath it, that we’ve got each other, and I believe he’d say the same,” said the actress.

The kitchen is one of the most heavily-trafficked rooms of the home. It’s where we cook, eat and make our morning coffee, as well as where many of us work from home and where our kids do homework after school.

Because of this, it’s important to design your kitchen with function and timeless style in mind. But with so many kitchen design trends always floating around the internet, it can be tempting to adorn your kitchen with whatever’s in vogue at the moment you happen to be remodeling or decorating. And although you may enjoy living amongst these fads for a few years, there’s a good chance they’ll all be out of style in the near future.

In fact, there are a few current kitchen trends that are likely to go out of style in the next five years according to two interior designers we spoke with: Zenia Nesterova, Architectural Interior Designer and Design Expert at VIGO Industries, and Elise St. Michel, Kitchen and Cabinet Designer at CliqStudios.

Below, Nesterova and St. Michel share seven current kitchen trends they foresee going out of fashion in the next half decade—as well as three trends that they think are timeless classics. Keep reading for their insights!

These 7 Current Kitchen Trends Will Go Out of Style in the Next 5 Years, According to Designers 1. Fluted cabinetry everywhere

“I like fluting on an island or a feature cabinet where you can appreciate the detail,” says St. Michel. However, the trend has gone overboard in some kitchens.

“When [fluting] covers every drawer, door, and hood, there is very little plain surface left for the eye to settle on,” she explains. “The grooves also add cleaning work, particularly near the range. I expect the all-over treatment to fade over the next five years, with fluting kept to a few carefully chosen areas.”

2. Oversized and dramatic islands

St. Michel thinks that in the coming years, “we will see less emphasis on fitting the largest possible island and more attention to what needs to happen around it.”

“An island can have plenty of seating and still be the wrong size for the kitchen,” St. Michel explains. “If an open dishwasher blocks the walkway, or two people have to squeeze past each other while cooking, the extra counter space comes at a cost. Those compromises become frustrating once the kitchen is in daily use.”

Nesterova agrees, specifically pointing to the trend of “large, curving sculptural islands.”

“While I appreciate the use of organic shapes in the kitchen, dramatic curves can sacrifice storage, workspace, and vital clearances (such as bar stools crowding a main walkway),” she says. “I think large, exaggerated island curves will go out of style in the next five years as homeowners gravitate towards more functional islands with more subtle curves.”

3. Massive arched range hoods

Arched plaster range hoods have been a big trend in recent years, especially in Mediterranean-style kitchens, per Nesterova. However, these hoods are typically built for 10-foot ceilings, and “can be out of proportion in an 8-foot room if not properly scaled,” she explains.

“The surrounding structure [of arched range hoods] can eat away at valuable cabinet space while still needing to allow for proper ventilation and the manufacturer’s required clearance above the cooktop,” Nesterova says. “An oversized hood can also throw off the balance of a small kitchen. I think oversized statement hoods will go out of style while more modest arches will stay popular.”

4. Waterfall stone

“A waterfall end makes sense when there is a particular slab you want to show off,” explains. St. Michel. “I am less convinced by using it automatically, especially when that side of the island is barely visible. It adds another large stone surface, which can overwhelm cabinetry with interesting grain or detailing.”

In the next few years, she expects “more kitchens to use paneled or wood ends and reserve waterfall treatments for places where they contribute something.”

5. All-burgundy kitchens

“Burgundy and oxblood have made a comeback, and I’ve incorporated some of these rich colors in a few of my projects,” says Nesterova, adding that these vibrant hues expertly compliment light woods and neutral stone.

“But covering cabinets, walls, moldings, and ceilings in dark colors can make a kitchen feel cave-like, especially if it doesn’t get much natural light,” she explains. “Painting all that cabinetry later can also be costly. I think all-burgundy kitchens will be out of style in five years, while smaller burgundy accents will be much easier to change later.”

6. Dramatic marble everywhere

Nesterova has been seeing showrooms showcase “striking marbles” as of late, with the material covering countertops, islands and full-height backsplashes. However, she thinks this “can quickly overwhelm the kitchen.” Not to mention, it’s difficult to match the veining in marble across slabs, especially when you have so many of them throughout your kitchen.

“I think this all-over marble treatment will go out of style over the next five years, while one statement slab paired with more understated finishes will age better,” she says.

7. Open shelving

Although open shelving can look cool, it’s impractical—and St. Michel thinks the trend is on the way out.

“A shelf beside the sink for everyday glasses is useful,” she says. However, “several shelves holding most of the kitchen’s dishes require a different level of upkeep, especially near cooking areas. Everything stays visible, including the mismatched mugs and containers that most households own.”

She expects “shorter sections of shelving to last,” but in the long run, “more enclosed storage” is on its way back.

Designers Say These 3 Current Kitchen Trends Are Here to Stay 1. Natural wood cabinetry

“Natural wood cabinetry continues to enjoy popularity,” says Nesterova. “I like how the natural grain adds interest while complementing different kitchen styles.”

St. Michel agrees, adding that “natural wood cabinetry gives you plenty of options when other parts of the kitchen need updating.”

She adds that not all wooden cabinetry is created equal, though. “The door style, finish and quality of construction matter, though. I would favor a wood finish that lets the grain show without making the entire room feel busy,” she says.

2. Built-in pantry cabinets and pull-out storage

“Having your everyday ingredients and items within easy reach is something that will always be important regardless of kitchen trends,” says Nesterova.

“Walk-in pantries aren’t a necessity in every kitchen, and they can take up valuable square footage in smaller layouts,” she explains. “A tall cabinet with pull-outs can often make better use of limited space, with items easier to reach than on deep, fixed pantry shelves.”

“Storage planned around how someone cooks will remain useful long after a fashionable finish has lost its appeal,” says St. Michel.

“Deep drawers near the range and tray dividers beside the oven save unnecessary steps,” she explains. “Appliance storage needs to be close to where the appliance is used, with enough access that putting it away is easy. These are the decisions homeowners appreciate every day, even when nobody visiting the kitchen notices them.”

Making her New York stage debut, Tilda Swinton will return to Manfred Karge’s solo play Man to Man. With previews beginning Feb. 21, 2027, the show will officially open Off-Broadway on Feb. 28 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre for only eight weeks.

Swinton first starred in Man to Man as the characters Ella and Max when it premiered in the UK at the Traverse Theatre in 1987. A year later, the show transferred to London’s Royal Court Theatre, where the revival is currently showing until Oct. 24. The London engagement was immediately met with high demand and sold out within two hours, with 30,000 people on the waitlist.

Man to Man was written by German playwright Karge, following a woman who, after the death of her husband, “assumes his identity, fighting to stay alive against war, dictatorship, hunger, and humiliation,” Playbill reported. Set in the 1930s during the upheaval of Germany, the show tells the story of political and social unrest and a woman trying to survive it.

The production also explores questions of identity and gender, and “a single character whose extraordinary life unfolds against some of history’s darkest chapters,” People wrote. It will reunite Swinton with the show’s award-winning creative team, including director Stephen Unwin and designer Bunny Christie — the original designer of the 1987 production.

When Man to Man announced that the show would be making an Off-Broadway run in New York, fans quickly took to social media to share their excitement.

“Saw it and it is indeed a tour de force by a very special actress,” one user commented.

“Take all my money,” a fan wrote under Official Broadway World’s post.

“She needs to be protected at all costs she’s such a legend,” another said.

Tickets for the production will go on pre-sale on Oct. 21 at 10 a.m. ET. Find out more at mantomanplay.com.

Actress Eva Marie Saint’s cause of death has been revealed two weeks after her passing.

According to PEOPLE, her death certificate stated that she died seconds after a cardiopulmonary arrest. Saint was also diagnosed with senile dementia, hypertension, hyperthyroidism, and embolism, which were cited as contributing causes to her death.

On Oct. 6, Saint passed away at the age of 102 in her Los Angeles home “surrounded by family and loved ones,” a press release stated. She is survived by her children, Darrell and Laurette, her four grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

Born in Newark, New Jersey, Saint won the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her performance opposite Marlon Brando in 1954’s On the Waterfront. She is also famous for starring alongside Cary Grant in director Alfred Hitchcock’s 1959 thriller North by Northwest. Throughout the 1960s, Saint appeared in such films as Exodus, 36 Hours, Grand Prix, and The Russians are Coming, the Russians are Coming.

Saint also appeared in the TV shows Moonlighting, One Man’s Family, and Buck Rogers. She later received two Emmy nominations for her performances in Middle of the Night and Producer Showcase‘s production of Our Town. Saint finally won an Emmy in 1990 for her performance in People Like Us.

In her later years, Saint made appearances in Don’t Come Knocking, Because of Winn-Dixie, Superman Returns, Winter’s Tale, Mariette in Ecstasy, and The Legend of Korra.

For her acting career in both film and television, Saint received two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In an interview with TCM, Saint said her career’s longevity added even greater depth to her work as an actress.

“The longer you live, the smarter you get, because you’ve been around, you’ve seen things,” she said. “You’ve gone through different emotional experiences in your own life, and hopefully, you understand things better. And that makes you a better actress.”

Studio publicists photographed Clark Gable driving a tractor and mending fences at his ranch in Encino, California. For reporters, he milked a cow, and he helped Carole Lombard gather eggs, according to Cinema Scholars.

Lombard put up the $50,000 for the 20-acre property, which had belonged to director Raoul Walsh, because Gable was waiting on his divorce settlement, according to Dear Mr. Gable. The couple married in March 1939 and moved in that summer, the blog says.

The grounds had citrus groves, stables, a cow barn and a pigsty, Cinema Scholars reports. Lombard’s bathroom was the exception to the rustic style, with white-marble walls, wraparound mirrors, and crystal and silver fixtures. Tabloids called the house “The House of Two Gables,” according to I Am Not a Stalker.

Lombard died in early 1942. Gable tried to sell the ranch afterward but kept it, Dear Mr. Gable says, and he lived there until his death in 1960. His widow, Kay Williams, stayed until 1973, per Cinema Scholars.

Developers took over the land, and the ranch was subdivided into the Clark Gable Ranch Estates in 1974, according to LA Street Names. Two of the streets, Tara Drive and Ashley Oaks, are named after Gone with the Wind.

The old house itself sold in October 1977 for $587,500, 38 years after Gable and Lombard moved in, I Am Not a Stalker reports. The lot is now about 1.17 acres, according to the blog’s Zillow figures.

Gable’s ranch was not the only star property with a farm side. Johnny Cash fell for a 107-acre Tennessee farm in 1972, and Loretta Lynn bought a Tennessee house in 1966 and got an entire town with it.

Tonight’s NCIS episode takes viewers into Nick Torres’ (Wilmer Valderrama) mysterious past, which has only been hinted about so far. We know he worked undercover on some heavy cases; we know he has a sister and a niece; and we know his father deserted the family, but this season, Valderrama tells Parade in this exclusive interview that we are going to see a completely different side of Torres – the dark side.

The reveal of who Torres used to be began in the “Sleeping Dogs” episode when a retired undercover identity of Torres, Dante Navarro, was used to commit a string of murders, and Torres was forced to team up with his grizzled, old-school former handler, Walt Keller (Mike O’Malley), and confront a darker version of himself that he thought he’d left behind.

Torres has to revisit the horrible things he did that were part of the job when Kasie (Diona Reasonover) finds footage of him as Dante stabbing a man in the hand. And Nick admits to Parker (Gary Cole) that he felt alive when doing those things. Parker tells him we all have darkness, but it doesn’t decide who we are, but Torres still has doubts.

Then, along those same lines, Torres and Keller have a confrontation where Walt tells him that Torres is his cover and Dante is who he really is. Is Walt on to something? In this interview with Valderrama, we explore those questions and more.

Ever since Michael Weatherly joined as the new director of NCIS, Torres has been talking about wanting to do more tactile work. Then we have tonight’s episode. Is this a be careful what you wish for idea because it turns out Torres is not exactly who we thought he was. He revisits his past, and it isn’t who he is now, so maybe he doesn’t want to be the guy he used to be.
Look, there are two elements to that. The first element is that Torres was trained, and he was quite literally created to do things that most agents just wouldn’t. He’s the guy that would take the jobs that everybody else rejected, and he’s the guy who would go further. His nature is to just go deeper and further in. He would throw himself in the deep end and figure out how to swim back later. So, I think the idea that all these instincts are waking up in Torres is actually a very exciting new journey for him. And considering that he also has a set of skills — not to quote a famous movie [Taken] — but he also has a set of skills that have been dormant, that have been on screensaver mode. I think that he really misses the adrenaline, and I think there’s a part of him that wants to really wake up again.

And then the other side of him is, he’s learned so much from this team. He’s learned so much from Gibbs (Mark Harmon). Can he bring those two worlds together or will they tear him apart? I think that’s an exciting arc for him. This season, what we’re trying to do is build Torres back to where he was in Season 14, like 10 years ago, where he was that wild gun that was a very effective force to unleash on whatever hard case you had in front of you.

I think the idea is for him to have that dilemma. For 10 years, I’ve molded myself to be a guy that really fits in here, but the world is changing, and there are threats out there that really need a guy that’s going to go the distance, and I think that he wants to be that guy. So, it’s a little bit of both, but I think it’s a really exciting dilemma for him to work it through.

Next, NCIS’ New Director Tony DiNozzo Drops Shocking Bombshell About Tim McGee’s Future in Season 24

When Torres joined the team, he told them that he had this dark side. But when Kasie sees him actually stab the guy in the hand as Dante, seeing it is not the same as hearing about it. Is Nick worried about the team’s opinion changing?
He absolutely is. I think that’s one of the reasons why he’s never talked about his past.  Torres’s life has been documented in the last 10 years, but there is an entire world and universe that has been a mystery for audiences. We’ve kind of teased that this is a person from the past, this is who his father was, and that stuff. We kind of created a little architect, but really the universe of what Torres was about before has really been a mystery, and because that existence was at such a high level of stakes, he had to be a bad guy to survive those cases. I think that for him, putting that away and joining the team, giving himself a shot at a family, giving himself a shot at a team, giving himself a shot at learning the value of not having to be a lone wolf, being able to trust the person next to you, giving himself that gift almost made him believe that that other stuff never happened. It’s almost like if I would have put it in an archive and not tap into it again and be the Torres we all love and see on TV.

But the idea that his team now is slowly discovering there was something more about Torres, it’s a really fascinating re-shift and reshape of the team. Does this make the team uneasy? Does it make them feel like, “Whoa! Now we have Hulk. Now we have Wolverine on our X-Men team.” We’re really reshaping the parameters for that, and the idea is to kind of turn it up a little bit this season, have a little bit more dynamic cases.

DiNozzo and Torres had never worked together. But DiNozzo, as the director, has access to all of Torres’ files, so he is the one person who might know who Torres really is. How much does Tony taking over as director affect what Torres’ future will be and the kinds of cases that he’ll be handling going forward?
I think for better or worse, Tony is going to curate towards this opportunity. I think that Torres is very much aware of that. How much is Torres going to allow it? I think that’s going to be interesting. I think so far, if you’ve seen this episode, DiNozzo is clocking Torres: Can I trust this guy? Is this a guy I can lean in with? I think that’s yet to be seen, but I think that at the end of the day, they’re going to have to learn what their mutual strengths in the team are together and how he can really use Torres to the best of his abilities. I think DiNozzo sees a lot of a kindred spirit there, and I think that there is something there that I feel is going to play out really excitingly.

I think that dynamic between the two of them and understanding the stakes of certain cases is going to allow DiNozzo to say, “Send Torres in.” But at the same time, it’s like, “Can I trust that Torres is telling us everything?” Because as you know, Torres is probably keeping certain things to his heart, and there’s something else happening that he has not said out loud to Parker or anyone, but is dancing around it.

Torres says at the end, “This case may put me on the path to figure out who I am.” And Walter said to him Torres is the cover and Dante is who you are. So where does that leave him? And then he goes and asks Walt if that CIA opportunity is still open, so it seems he is looking for more danger or an adrenaline rush.
Torres in the last two seasons has had an internal battle, where he feels that his most exciting attributes have not been used right. What I keep saying is I’m someone else and I was built to do something more. I think that as he starts flirting with the idea of getting back into what he knows, he realizes that with that also comes the opening of the many files that he was a part of and the many personalities that he had to endure and be and be about, and all the things that he had to do to not just take cover but to get the job done, and I think that it’s a lot of trauma he has to unpack.

Within that trauma, there’s skills that he needs to kind of rekindle the new journey. I think for him, this side CIA job that this guy might bring to him, might be the way that he’s trying to sharpen his tools again. Hiding it from Parker, having DiNozzo onto him, and then at the risk that his team is going to look at him like is Torres losing it or not is a really exciting arc for me as an actor.

The other thing that I’m really excited about is the fact that I get to play who I used to be versus an internal battle of who I believe I am right now. The fact that Mike O’Malley’s character Keller says, “Torres was the cover. Dante’s who you really are,” paradigm shifts his head because that’s when things start getting very blurry and very confusing for him. So, I think it’s going to be exciting but look, all in all we’re doing all of this to get Torres to go back to a more dynamic and more fun and more unpredictable place, so he’s going to enjoy his time a little bit more this season.

NCIS airs Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. Streams next day on Paramount+.

Creating a cozy room is not always about buying another blanket or rearranging the furniture. Sometimes, the finishing touch is something smaller: a warm glow on a side table, a familiar fragrance drifting through the room or an accent that makes an everyday corner feel thoughtfully styled.

The most useful additions often serve multiple purposes. A piece that looks attractive when switched off but helps set the mood when evening arrives can earn its place on a crowded console, dresser or bookshelf.

Threshold Candle Lamp Warmer Arched Gold and Black, $30 at Target

Target

Shop It!

Target’s Threshold Candle Lamp Warmer Arched Gold and Black brings those ideas together. Priced at $30, it combines a curved frame and contrasting finishes with an overhead bulb that warms candle wax rather than requiring a lit wick. The result is a decorative way to enjoy fragrance without an open flame.

A Small Accent With a Useful Job

At first glance, the warmer resembles a miniature table lamp. Its arched silhouette gives it a sculptural quality, while the gold-and-black palette can fit alongside wood furniture, neutral upholstery and darker decorative accents. A glass shade completes the design without making the piece feel visually bulky.

The warmer measures 11.57 inches tall and 6.69 inches wide and deep. Target recommends using candles no taller than six inches and no wider than 6.69 inches, so check your jar’s dimensions before buying.

A dimmer lets you adjust the light and heat level, while timer settings offer two-, four- or eight-hour intervals. These controls offer flexibility for a short evening unwind or a longer stretch of reading or entertaining. Target also includes an extra replacement bulb.

An Easy Addition to Your Evening Setup

For a relaxed living-room arrangement, place the warmer on a stable side table with a favorite candle underneath and keep surrounding accessories minimal. A nearby ceramic vase or framed photo can complete the look without crowding the setup.

The same piece can transition between seasons simply by changing the candle. Think warm vanilla for autumn evenings, something woodsy for winter or a brighter citrus fragrance when spring arrives.

Although there is no burning wick, the warmer still produces heat. Follow the product instructions and give it an appropriate location rather than treating it like an ordinary decorative lamp.

At $30, this Threshold find offers a practical pairing: an attractive room accent and another way to enjoy the candles you already own.

Every savvy shopper knows the satisfaction that comes with finding something you love for a whole lot less than you expected to pay. Maybe it’s a sweater that looks plucked from a designer boutique window or a piece of home decor that could easily pass for something from a much pricier furniture store. After all, why spend more than you have to when you can get the look you love for a fraction of the price?

That’s exactly why I’m in love with the Way to Celebrate Cozy Fox Coir Doormat at Walmart, which looks remarkably similar to a bestselling style from Anthropologie. That means you can bring cottagecore-inspired charm to your doorstep while still having plenty of cash to put toward your next shopping spree!

The star of this doormat is an adorable fox curled up for a nap, with its bushy tail tucked around its body and its eyes closed. It’s nestled among winding branches, leafy greenery, and clusters of flowers, with a few tiny mushrooms and striped pumpkins scattered along the bottom. The color palette is super pretty for fall, with rusty oranges, mossy greens, and deep reds against a dark forest-green background. A tan-and-green checkered border frames the whole scene.

The best part? You don’t have to put it away once Halloween or Thanksgiving is over. While the pumpkins give it a fall feel, the enchanted forest design is neutral enough to keep by your door throughout the colder months. Add a couple of potted mums or pumpkins for autumn, then swap them out for a small evergreen wreath or holly bush when winter rolls around.

As cute as it is, the doormat is made to handle muddy shoes, too. It measures 18 by 30 inches, with a textured coir surface that helps scrape dirt off the bottoms of your shoes before you track it inside. There’s also a rubber backing to help keep it in place, even in the busiest of households.

Shoppers dubbed this mat as “beautiful, durable, and a great way to add charm to any entryway,” praising its looks and functionality. “The design is beautiful and gives a warm, welcoming look to the entrance. It feels sturdy, stays in place well, and does a good job of trapping dirt before it gets inside,” one wrote. 

Another agreed, adding that the design’s “colors are bright” and “the image stands out perfectly.”

It looks like 2026 will end up being a pretty lucrative year for some Hollywood stars.

Although certain A-listers have been pulling in big bucks for quite a while now, the paydays that were negotiated and agreed upon in 2026 are staggering.

For instance, Tom Holland has revealed that he’s set to be paid $20 million for his latest spin as Spider-Man for Sony and Marvel. Of course, that’s not to overlook the “back-end bonus potential,” which could see him walking away with “at least $100 million … from Spider-Man Brand New Day,” according to Page Six. That earning power is fueled, in part, by the fact that “Holland’s fourth Spider-Man standalone is breaking records, … Globally it grossed $2.5 billion and in North America alone it’s become the number one all time highest grossing film.”

Fellow Marvel star Robert Downey Jr will also be padding his already full wallet this year thanks to his new role as Dr. Doom. Appearing in Avengers: Doomsday (hitting theaters on December 18, 2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (scheduled to be released December 17, 2027), as well as one or more cameos, RDJ will also be walking away with $100 million, per Page Six.

If you need more proof that working for Marvel can make you rich (or even richer), Page Six notes that Chris Hemsworth, who, of course, plays Thor, and Chris Evans, who can be seen onscreen as Captain America, will each earn around $40 million for the new Avengers installments.

Last but not least, Margot Robbie’s gig as the star and producer of Barbie (2023) led to a $50 million paycheck for the actress and businesswoman. While the film took in $1.5 billion in worldwide box office sales, The New York Times reported this past summer that Warner Bros. was “scrambling” to make a deal with the movie’s stars, including Robbie and Ryan Gosling, as well as the writer and director Greta Gerwig, by December and before “[r]ights to ‘Barbie’ will revert to Mattel, the toy company behind the iconic doll.”

Jenna Dewan is set to dance with Alan Bersten after her partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, was suspended from Dancing with the Stars.

In a since-deleted TikTok, Chmerkovskiy wrote, “You almost saw Fresh Prince enter the ballroom last night.” He made the post after DWTS dance pro Jenna Johnson was criticized by judge Carrie Ann Inaba.

During the live show on Tuesday, October 20, the show’s host Alfonso Ribeiro addressed the crowd.

“As you can see, Alan Bersten is with Jenna Dewan because Val Chmerkovskiy is not with us this week,” he said.

Earlier this week, according to Deadline, BBC Studios released a statement that read, “The well-being of everyone who works on Dancing with the Stars is non-negotiable. Val’s social media post was inappropriate and does not reflect the values or standards expected of anyone connected with the show. As a result, he will not participate in next week’s show.”

Chmerkovskiy wrote on his Instagram Stories after the news broke that he would not be performing with his partner.

“In a moment where my instinct was to defend my wife, I made a poor decision to reference a meme to ‘keep my wife’s name’ out of the conversation, without stopping to think through what else that reference could imply, which was genuinely never my intention,” he wrote on Oct. 17. “Carrie Ann certainly didn’t deserve to get caught in the middle of my bad judgement, and I hate that she was.”

“The last thing I want is to become a distraction from an important week or from the incredible work my dance partner Jenna Dewan is putting in,” he continued. “Please send Carrie Ann, Jenna, and the whole DTWS family lots of love during Dedication Night. I’ll be watching and cheering everyone on!! ❤️.”

Similar to his beloved character, Hawkeye Pierce, M*A*S*H star Alan Alda made working on the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital look a lot easier than it was.

MeTV.com reported that Alda, who also served as one of the show’s writers and directors, shared that filming M*A*S*H was quite the feat, especially after the earlier seasons.

“Oddly enough, M*A*S*H gets harder to do every year. We don’t just get up out of our easy chairs and expose our personalities. There is an enormous amount of hard work and care that goes into what we call show business. And skill. It’s at least as hard as pole-vaulting,” quipped Alda while speaking to The Sydney Morning Herald, per MeTV.com.

Alda, who appeared in all 11 seasons of M*A*S*H, clarified he understood why people assume working on television is an easy job.

“Show business has always been sold on glitter, and glitter is not serious. So why should the public take us seriously?” said Alda.

Alan Alda Shared Why He Believed ‘M*A*S*H’ Was Successful

In a 2000 interview for Television Academy Foundation’s The Interviews: An Oral History of Television, Alda shared why he believed M*A*S*H became such a hit. He theorized that the combination of the show’s writing, acting, and directing made the CBS sitcom, about the Korean War, very watchable.

Alda also said he believed fans were drawn to the realism and found-family aspects of the series, which ended in 1983.

“[The characters] were away from home. They were in Korea and away from home. They had to make their own family there,” said Alda during the 2000 interview. “And they were people who were thrown together, who under these harrowing conditions, got on each other’s nerves. And we’ve heard this over and over again. They were trying to maintain their sanity by acting crazy. But they really were in a situation that could drive you crazy. But the thing that was essential that, I think, helped the audience connect to it, was that we knew we were telling the story of real people.”

The Beatles are going home in a very big way.

A massive new 100,000-square-foot immersive Beatles experience is coming to Liverpool in 2028, bringing fans inside recreations of some of the most famous places and moments in the band’s history.

The Beatles announced the project on Instagram on Oct. 20 with a fitting message: “We’re on our way home.”

View this post on Instagram

The new attraction will become the home of The Beatles Story, which will relocate from Liverpool’s Albert Dock to the former St Johns Market site in St Johns Shopping Centre, directly across from Liverpool Lime Street station.

At 100,000 square feet, the new location will more than quadruple the attraction’s current footprint. And that’s only part of the project.

Liverpool’s St Johns Beacon will house a separate Yellow Submarine-themed experience, giving visitors a panoramic 360-degree view of the city and the landmarks where The Beatles’ story began. Fans will be able to visit the Beacon attraction separately or bundle it with admission to The Beatles Story.

The Beatles Story itself is being designed as a multi-hour experience using immersive technology, original artifacts and reconstructed sets to trace the band’s journey from post-war Liverpool and its early years in Hamburg through Beatlemania and international superstardom.

Fans will be able to step inside recreations of The Cavern, Abbey Road, Shea Stadium and Savile Row, among other locations tied to Beatles history.

There’s also an intriguing connection to the four upcoming Beatles movies from director Sam Mendes.

Some of the immersive locations will use actual sets and props from Mendes’ The Beatles: A Four-Film Cinematic Event, which is scheduled to arrive in theaters in April 2028. The four interconnected movies will tell the band’s story from the perspectives of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.

Apple Corps, the company The Beatles founded in 1968, will take over operation of the existing Beatles Story in 2027 before moving it to the new location the following year. It will be the first official Beatles fan experience in Liverpool operated by Apple Corps.

McCartney said he finds the continued fascination with the band’s story “incredible and humbling.”

“I love Liverpool. It’s part of who I am, it’s part of who The Beatles are,” McCartney said. “If you’d told us this was going to happen when we were hanging out and getting started we’d never have believed it.”

He added that the plans take him “right back to that journey, from Liverpool to the world and back home again.”

Starr also looked back on the band’s improbable journey from Liverpool.

“When we grew up in the dingle, we never thought we’d be on a plane, much less all the places this long, long road took us,” Starr said, adding, “Liverpool was, and still is, music city.”

The drummer was also enthusiastic about another component of the project: Every ticket sold to The Beatles Story will contribute to the new Apple Corps Liverpool Trust, which will provide financial support and opportunities to emerging Liverpool artists and local cultural projects.

“The beat goes on,” Starr said.

The Liverpool attraction will be only the second permanent Beatles experience operated by Apple Corps. Another is scheduled to open at 3 Savile Row in London at the end of 2027.

Apple Corps CEO Tom Greene compared the ambition for the Liverpool destination to two of the most famous music attractions in the United States.

“Just like Graceland or Dollywood, it’s fitting that The Beatles will have a world class destination for fans to visit in the centre of the city where the story started,” Greene said.

The new Beatles Story is scheduled to open in 2028, shortly after Mendes’ four Beatles movies hit theaters that April.
