WKRP in Cincinnati only ran for four seasons on CBS, but the radio station sitcom left a lasting mark. The cult classic ran from 1978 to 1982 and starred Gary Sandy,Gordon Jump,Howard Hesseman, and Loni Anderson.

Despite not airing in over four decades, those famous call letters are still nostalgic for fans today, and now they're getting a real-life spin-off of the sitcom that put Anderson on the map.

To this day, no Cincinnati broadcaster has used the WKRP call letters for a real radio station, but that is about to change after a low-power Raleigh, North Carolina station put the famous letters on sale and someone in the Cincinnati market purchased them.

Details on the sale are still being kept under wraps.

D.P. McIntire, who runs the media nonprofit behind the auction, told The Associated Press, "I cannot, by contract, tell you when. I cannot tell you who. But I can tell you, direct to the camera, WKRP, after 48 years, is coming to Cincinnati."

He continued, "Book it! It’s done!"

We'll have to wait and see what the upcoming real-life WKRP radio station plays, but the fictional version famously converted from "elevator music" to hits of the '70s and '80s, including The Rolling Stones, Bob Seger, Foreigner, Steely Dan, Styx, Elvis Presley, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bruce Springsteen, Blondie, and Stevie Wonder.

Unfortunately, many WKRP in Cincinnati stars are not alive to see this.

Jump, who played the Maytag repairman, died on Sep. 22, 2003, at the age of 71 from complications of pulmonary fibrosis. Hesseman, who played Dr. Johnny Fever, died on January 29, 2022, at 81, due to complications from colon surgery. Anderson died on Aug. 3, 2025, at age 79 due to metastatic uterine leiomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer.

A 1977 rock hit that captured the restless energy of life on the road has been ranked among the greatest songs of all time, solidifying its place as one of the defining tracks of its era.

“Running on Empty,” recorded byJackson Browne, became one of the singer-songwriter’s signature songs and remains a staple of classic rock radio decades after its release. The track, which Rolling Stone included on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, helped define Browne’s career and the sound of late-1970s rock.

Released as the title track of his 1977 live album, the song was recorded during a concert at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland. It went on to reach No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent 17 weeks on the chart, becoming one of Browne’s biggest hits.

Critics at the time highlighted both its energy and its deeper meaning. Billboard described it as “fiery rock ’n’ roll that continues in intensity throughout,” noting the “serious lyric content” carried by Browne’s distinctive vocal. And Ultimate Classic Rock named it Browne's best song, calling it a "perfect metaphor" for Browne's life as a musician and "one of his most autobiographical songs."

At its core, “Running on Empty” reflects the physical and emotional toll of constant movement—something Browne knew well. He wrote the song while commuting to the studio, inspired by the feeling of always being in motion without a clear destination. The lyrics track the passage of time and the weight of experience, giving the song an autobiographical edge.

But beneath that surface, the song also touches on something more personal. Lines about fleeting connections and emotional distance hint at the strain that a life spent on the road can place on relationships. That underlying tension—between movement and connection, ambition and stability—gives the song a quieter emotional resonance that has helped it endure.

Over time, “Running on Empty” has taken on a broader meaning beyond its original context. While it may not be a traditional breakup song, its themes of burnout, distance and emotional disconnect have allowed listeners to connect with it in deeply personal ways.

Nearly five decades later, the track still stands as one of Browne’s most recognizable songs, a reflection of a moment in time that continues to resonate with audiences who know what it feels like to keep moving forward, even when the destination isn’t clear.

The FOX network was in its infancy when it premiered Married…with Children. It was the first primetime series on the network and became FOX’s longest-running live-action sitcom.

The goal of Married…with Children was to be the antithesis of network family series with the directive to be as outrageous as they could be, using material, i.e. sexually-charged humor, that wouldn’t be allowed on ABC, CBS or NBC.

What was the premise of Married... with Children?

Set in Chicago, Married…with Children followed the lives of the Bundy family: Al Bundy, a former high school football player turned hard-luck women's shoe salesman; his lazy wife Peggy; their teenage daughter Kelly; and their younger son Bud.

In addition to the Bundys, the show also featured their next-door neighbors Steve and Marcy Rhoades, both of whom Al finds annoying, a feeling that was definitely reciprocated.

Who were the original cast members of Married... with Children?

Ed O’Neill as Al Bundy
Katey Sagal as Peggy Bundy
Christina Applegate as Kelly Bundy
David Faustino as Bud Bundy
David Garrison as Steve Rhoades
Amanda Bearse as Marcy Rhoades

Did Married... with Children win any awards?

Despite the show's longevity and loyal fanbase, Married... with Children was never a major ratings success. Part of that was a reflection of FOX, which had much fewer broadcast stations than the big three: ABC, CBS and NBC.

Even so, the series was nominated for seven Primetime Emmys during its tenure and seven Golden Globe Awards.

Where can I watch Married... with Children today?

All 11 seasons of Married…with Children are currently streaming on Prime Video.

Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie‘s mom, Nancy Guthrie, is still missing more than two months after the abduction in Tucson, Ariz.—and new details have emerged about the desert surrounding the 84-year-old's home.

On the April 3 episode of Brian Entin Investigates, the NewsNation senior national correspondent spoke with retired Pima County SWAT commander Bob Krieger about the investigation.

"Tucson is surrounded by mountains in each direction. And once you get on, essentially, the back side of any of those, that's where the remoteness starts," Krieger explained.

"The biggest area, geographically, is going out to the west," he continued. "And out there is where we encounter a lot of activity from, you know, smuggling of all sorts — whether it be humans or drugs. things like that, to violent crimes, to, you know, body disposals."

Krieger went on to say that although "a lot of bodies" are found in the desert year-round, the number typically increases during the summer months "when people are crossing and they don't know what to expect of the hot deserts."

Additionally, he said of the desert near Nancy's home, "There's just a ton of stuff going on out there, and it's just so vast. And a lot of times, you know, you just can't find what you're looking for, even if you have very specific locations."

The former SWAT commander also pointed out, "Some of the roads when I used to work out here, they were like super highways for criminal activity. This little track here will take you 100 miles south and get you to Mexico if you want."

Krieger's insight into the area surrounding Savanah's missing mom's home came on the heels of the two-month mark since she went missing on Feb. 1. It also comes ahead of Savannah's return to her Today co-hosting duties for the first time since Nancy's disappearance.

The 84-year-old was last seen at her Catalina Foothills residence on the evening of Jan. 31. Despite Savannah's $1 million reward offer, no suspect has been named in the case.

Soap superstar Jon Lindstrom is set to release his second novel, Hollywood Payback, on April 14, 2026, and the longtime soap star is opening up about what he enjoys most about writing.

Lindstrom spoke with longtime soap journalist Roger Newcomb of We Love Soaps about his upcoming novel and his time on Beyond the Gates.

When asked what he learned between writing the first and second novel, Lindstrom said, “That I genuinely enjoy writing.”

He added that his writing routine starts early in the day. “I’m an early‑morning writer—up at 5:00 or 5:30, and I don’t check email or texts. It’s peaceful.”

The actor also addressed whether writing feels isolating. “People ask if it’s lonely, but no—you’ve got all these voices in your head,” he said. “Honestly, I prefer it to sitting in a development meeting with people who haven’t read the material but still have opinions.”

The actor previously teased that his first novel, Hollywood Hustle, is being developed for an on-screen adaptation.

Lindstrom is perhaps best known for his portraying twins, serial killer Ryan Chamberlain and Dr. Kevin Collins, on the ABC soap opera General Hospital, roles he originated beginning in 1992.

In 1997 Lindstrom crossed his character Kevin Collins over to the spinoff series Port Charles.

Lindstrom made his daytime debut as Brady Chapin on Rituals in 1984, later joining Santa Barbara in 1985. He also played Craig Montgomery for the final two years of As the World Turns from 2008 to 2010.

He currently portrays the role of mob boss Joey Armstrong on the CBS soap opera Beyond the Gates while making occasional appearances on General Hospital as Kevin Collins.

Beyond the Gates airs new episodes weekdays on CBS and weeknights on Paramount Plus. Viewers can watch episodes from the beginning on Paramount Plus or on Pluto TV’s dedicated 24/7 Beyond the Gates FAST channel.

Hollywood Payback, the sequel to his debut novel Hollywood Hustle, can be pre-ordered at all major book retailers.

Suzanne Luhr is a 68-year-old retiree from Wyoming who used to work as a GIS Principal and Map Editor—and her workout routine did not start with a happy story. “I started my wellness journey following a bicycle wreck in 2011,” she recalls. “I was hit by a truck that broke my femur and fractured my pelvis.”

After the wreck, she started physical therapy. That’s when she became passionate about deadlifting. “I found my love for deadlifting, and it became a love, not just a necessity,” she tells Parade. “Watching my body and mind slowly improve, it became less about needing to heal my injuries and more about how I can grow stronger day by day.”

As of today, Luhr can bench press 75 pounds, squat lift 145 pounds, and deadlift 207 pounds.

Think that could never be you? Not so fast. Luhr says that while she looks forward to working out at the gym now, she used to think the gym was “for other people.” She’s since been chosen as a 2026 Senior Planet Sponsored Athlete with AARP. She’s also a competitive powerlifter who competed in the 2025 Senior Olympics in Cheyenne and many other major competitions.

“In this role, I really hope to inspire other seniors [who] think they cannot do it,” she says. “It’s doable, trust me. The first step is to just...take the first step!”

As a powerlifter, she’s naturally passionate about arm strength and has super-strong arms—partially thanks to a horse and some grocery bags, too. Stay tuned for those stories, plus her weekly workout routine, her favorite smoothie recipe and other fitness advice she wants to share.

Suzanne Luhr

Luhr’s Weekly Workout RoutineTuesdays and Fridays

On these days, Luhr attends a 1-hour strength training group class. Participants are broken up into five groups that rotate through five sections. Typically, they do three sets of five to 10 reps of each exercise, and if they do fewer reps, they lift heavier.

Luhr shares what that looks like for her group: 

• The upper body station is first, where the group rotates through lat pull-downs, bicep curls, rows and tricep push-downs or push-ups.
• Second is squats, in which participants lift heavier with each set to maximize muscle growth.
• Deadlifts are next—and Luhr loves them. “Deadlifts are my favorite station, so I always lift as heavy as I can, especially for my last set,” she says. 
• Fourth is the bench press station. “With two bad shoulders, this station is not my favorite, but I always try to push myself to new limits,” she explains.
• Last but not least is lunges. Group members complete three sets of 20 yards each. Luhr does the first 20 yards without weights, then adds 10 pounds per hand for the next two sets.

Thursdays and Sundays

Luhr’s workout looks different on these days. She attends the Laramie Recreation Center and hits up the weight room for about 45 to 60 minutes. 

First, she cycles through several upper body, core and leg exercises on whatever machines are available, and she often adds squats. Next, she climbs 34 floors on the stair-stepper machine, trying to add another floor each time as a challenge. Last but not least, she walks on the track for one to one-and-a-half miles.

Her “days off”

Luhr moves her body on her “off days,” too, mostly with walking. “For me, walking is an essential part of that muscle-to-mind connection,” she says.

She takes these walks around her small town (Laramie, Wyoming) to get to appointments or meetings. If the weather is especially nice, she’ll ride her bike. “Nothing is ridiculously far, and walking and biking are good for me and the environment,” she says.

How Luhr Got ‘Crazy Strong Arms’

Luhr is especially passionate about arm workouts, and her various experiences reflect why. For example, she’s spent over 30 years riding bareback on a horse—and getting up on the horse, especially with it being 5 feet, takes power in the arms and upper body. “Over time, that experience grew a mind-to-muscle connection, building strength in my arms,” she says. 

She knows the value of arm strength for everyday living and exercising, too, and says she recognizes the importance of continuing to build and maintain that strength. “Strong arms and shoulders are critical for me since they support nearly everything I do, from gripping, pushing, pulling, lifting and carrying out everyday tasks without fear that I'm going to hurt myself,” Luhr says.

She engages in hammer curls and tricep dips to strengthen her muscles. “It’s super easy to do the tricep dips anywhere, which is what I like most about this workout,” she adds. “You are able to do it on a chair at home or in the gym…This is the same with hammer curls.”

Additionally, Luhr does pushups. She started doing them on a bar that she lowered over time. Once she got strong enough, she started doing pushups on the floor.

Luhr also brings functionality into her workout by using her grocery bags as weights. “For me, it’s important to think of how everyday activities make me stronger,” she says.

The Loved Ones Who Help Luhr Stay in Shape

Luhr’s loved ones have played a role in her fitness journey. She thinks of her husband, Wes, a “daily workout enthusiast” that she feels “constantly challenged” by. “He is an immense help to me,” she says. “He will keep me on track if I'm ever at risk of derailing.”

Her cat, believe it or not, also plays a major role. “Another close love that keeps me active both mentally and physically is my 20-year-old cat, Callie,” Luhr continues. “Pets have always been essential in my life, and everybody knows petting a cat or dog (or horse) lowers one's blood pressure.” 

Luhr’s Nutrition Habits

Luhr values nutrition, too. She’s a vegetarian who eats a lot of fruits and vegetables, and she doesn’t mindlessly snack as much. She has a yogurt maker she loves, and often makes plant-based yogurt, which she adds to smoothies. Additionally, she eats a lot of whole grains, nuts, seeds and legumes. “I’m not a nutrition expert, but I do know what works for me,” Luhr says.

She spoils us with the approximate recipe for her go-to, high-protein, pre-workout smoothie, which makes two servings: 

• 1 cup milk (she uses soy milk)
• 1 cup Greek yogurt (she uses her plant-based yogurt)
• ½ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
• 1 small banana
• ⅓ cup walnuts or peanuts (or whatever nuts you like)
• You can also add whey or plant-based protein.

“Having this smoothie a couple hours before [my] workout gives me plenty of energy to power through a good workout,” she says. “If my workout’s still hours away and I’m still hungry, a piece of whole-grain toast with peanut butter (crunchy, of course) and honey will get me through most of the day.”

Luhr’s Exercise Advice

As a strong, decorated 68-year-old, Luhr is definitely a solid choice for getting fitness advice. What are the main messages she wants others to know?

“When you’re ready to enter a gym, start with a coach or a friend [who] knows the ropes, so you learn proper technique for exercises or the machines to avoid hurting yourself,” she says. 

Luhr also encourages not going too hard too quickly. “Start with light weights,” she says. “It doesn’t matter your weight, as long as you do it right. The weight, strength and self-confidence will come with time and persistence.”

While it's tempting as a parent to want to be involved in every aspect (no matter how small) of your teen's life, psychologists say that you should be wary of overstepping or obsessing. Not only can this lead to your child lacking in confidence, but it can also lead to one common critical parenting error: an invasion of privacy. While it might seem easy to validate snooping around in your child's things in the age of social media, child psychologist Dr. Francheska Perepletchikova, PhD, is convinced that this is detrimental to a healthy relationship. In fact, she's begging parents to quell the urge to do this in the first place.

"Picture your teenage years: a period as critical as it is delicate for self-discovery, individuality and development of critical thinking," she explains. "These are the years that simultaneously require and deserve understanding for personal exploration as well as continued support and guidance from guardian figures. When we are helicoptered, we're disrespected and belittled—our need for a private refuge treated as an illicit inconvenience."

When you invade your child's privacy, she also says that it doesn't create trust in you, the adult, either. It's a fine line to walk between permissiveness and authority, but with Dr. Perepletchikova's insight, it's possible to have both in a healthy way. Ahead, she shares why it's critical that parents don't do this, along with ways to help create an open and honest relationship with your teen moving forward.

The 1 Common Thing You Shouldn’t Do With Your Teen, According to a Psychologist

While parents might be tempted to snoop and go through their teen's belongings, Dr. Perepletchikova says this is one of the worst things you can do as a parent.

"Privacy is vital for psychological well-being by increasing our sense of control over our environment, encouraging creative engagement and experimentation and promoting self-regulation and self-reflection," she shares. "When the parent-child relationship begins to break down due to invasion of privacy, the resulting lack of trust, security, respect, understanding and support can result in the development of clinical dysfunction in anyone, let alone developmentally vulnerable teenagers."

In this digital age, it's also natural for parents to have concerns about their child’s online activity and communication. Because of this, parents might be tempted to go through their child's phone or install parental controls. But Dr. Perepletchikova says that monitoring social media or internet use like this can be detrimental to your relationship.

"Unlike laptops or home desktop computers, a cellphone is viewed as a very personal device that guarantees a level of seclusion and privacy in its use," she explains. "When monitoring applications are installed on these devices, a teen not only deals with the mental consequences of constant familial policing (that in and of itself promotes unhealthy parenting styles), but is likely to feel ostracized from their peers."

While this doesn't necessarily mean parental apps like this should never be used, they are less likely to cause fallout with a teen if the parent-child relationship was previously built on trust, mutually agreed upon boundaries and expectations, and healthy communication above all else.

Is It Ever OK for a Parent To Invade Their Child’s Privacy?

Just like with any rule, there are a few exceptions, which Dr. Perepletchikova outlines. She stresses that the only time invading your teen's privacy is potentially allowable is if there's strong evidence and/or a suspicion that their well-being is at risk. In this case, that should only be done after you've communicated your concerns to your teen first.

"For example, if your teen is showing signs of being in an abusive relationship, you strongly suspect they may be groomed by a contact they made online, they are engaging in self-harm, they begin experimenting with drugs, they are engaging with criminal activity or you suspect they're making plans with friends to an obviously dangerous outing," she shares.

Even if one of the above scenarios occurs, she also says it's more important than ever to stay calm.

"You do not overreact by launching into their room to parse for evidence to use against them or start screaming at them and restricting them with whatever punishments you can that may keep them at home," she adds.

Instead, she suggests sitting down with them for a serious conversation where you explain your concerns and why you have them.

"Allow them to defend themselves, but be clear about established rules and their consequences, or why you may move to temporarily restrict certain privileges they have," she states. "Explain what your actions will be should they continue behaving dangerously, and if they do, be prepared to act on those consequences." 

The Lasting Negative Effects of Invading Your Teen's Privacy

Dr. Perepletchikova also says that the urge to invade your child's privacy can be a form of helicopter parenting. Being overly worried about every area of your child's life can lead to a few things that she shares.

"In general, [it can cause] decreased life satisfaction [in your teen], decreased academic performance and motivation, development of depression and anxiety symptoms, development of maladaptive perfectionism and a reduced sense of self-competency," she shares.

Helicopter parenting in general is usually a one-way ticket to invasion of privacy. While it may be tempting to do this, she says that it stems from a need to ensure control over children through constant knowledge and the weaponization of their actions.

"When a teen is unable to maintain personal boundaries with their parents, they are in fact more likely to keep secrets," she continues. "[They're also more likely to] develop clever means to avoid contact with their family, and find companionship with those who will allow them to explore freedom in ways their family refused them. This often means engaging in dangerous activities and now, they're armed with better methods to keep it confidential."

How To Respect Your Child's Privacy

With the few exceptions outlined above, Dr. Perepletchikova says it's simple: don't rummage through your teen's belongings any further than basic tidying up.

"If there are notebooks lying around, don’t read through them," she firmly states. "If mail comes in for them, don't open it. If their phone is unlocked, don't use it as an excuse to snoop beyond telling them they have a message or call. The more you respect their privacy and belongings, the healthier your relationship with your teen becomes."

By keeping out of their personal things, your teen will also be more likely to communicate the information you want to know about on their own, and you'll be way less likely to want to snoop in the first place. Dr. Perepletchiokova also says there's something else you should remember.

"It is also important to accept that you are not entitled to know everything your teen is doing and feeling," she adds. "[You don't need to pry] beyond basic information, such as asking who they plan to hang out with (where and how long). Strings of prying questioning go beyond data collection for their safety and into interrogation territory that serves only to push them further away."

3 Ways To Create an Honest Relationship With Your Teen

Creating an open line of communication with your teen is essential—especially if you want to have a healthy relationship. Dr. Perepletchikova outlined a few things you can do that support this.

1. Be a good role model

While Dr. Perepletchikova says it's natural for a teen to begin to question their parents' commands and judgments, a parent still represents an authority and source of support.

"This authority is based on actions rather than words alone," she explains. "The way a parent behaves around their child is ultimately how a child will learn to act themselves. The earlier in a child's life you begin modeling adaptive behavior, the better that child is set up to tackle the challenges of adolescence."

But she also stresses that it's never too late to start now. Adapting better behavior, even if you've been prone to modeling poor behavior in the past, proves to a teen that you're willing to improve yourself.

2. Have open and respectful communication

This is key if you're trying to build a strong relationship with your teen. If you find that your teen is refusing to communicate with you beyond small talk or grows extremely defensive every time you try to bring up something vulnerable, Dr. Perepletchikova says that working to improve trust in communication is key.

"During adolescence, a teen might become curious about the taboo (like drugs or drinking), or something sensitive, like their sexuality and gender identity," she shares. "They may try to stand out from their peers by acting recklessly, or fit in with the crowd as a trend seeker, regardless of how harmful it might be."

If you find yourself shutting down or avoiding discussion of these sensitive topics, especially when the teen themselves brings them up, it will only result in them bottling things up.

"Pretending that your child would never try a drink or experiment with their significant other because you 'taught them better' does not dissuade them from trying," she states. "You will simply never hear about it. Avoiding open and shameless discussion about sensitive material doesn't stop the teen from wanting to engage with it—it only serves to incentivize them to find someone else who will."

This also applies to shaming your teen for poor performance in school. Verbally accosting them will only make them want to hide their mistakes and failures. The child psychologist shares that, instead, express disappointment, but validate their efforts. It's also important to make sure they know that you love them regardless.

"Express your availability to talk when they need it, and genuinely follow through on it instead of devolving into [an] argument," she adds. "Admit to your own shortcomings, and take their criticism with understanding instead of condescension—regardless of how true it might be."

Finally, she stresses that pushing away your teen by shutting down safe and open communication is often the reason parents resort to invading their privacy at all.

"By improving your communication, your teen has little reason to want to hide their issues, and you have little reason to be concerned over the secrets that they do want to keep," she says. 

3. Establish clear rules

While it's important to establish open communication, Dr. Perepletchikova says it's equally important to establish boundaries with your teen.

"Risk-taking and experimentation are expected, but they aren't always acceptable," she shares. "You must establish early on what is and isn't allowable. Make sure to clearly explain the relevant consequences for failing to adhere to those rules, why these rules exist, and why the consequences are fair."

You should also ensure that these consequences are consistently implemented. When rules aren't clear or established, consequences for even the most obviously dangerous behaviors may be seen as unfairly retaliatory.

"Likewise, when consequences are not consistently implemented for rule-breaking as agreed upon, the dangerous behavior won't be dissuaded," she adds.

Elizabeth Hurley and her son, Damian Hurley, are basically twins.

The British beauty, 60, who is known for roles in films like Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery and Bedazzled, and TV series like The Royals, is also a swimwear designer who frequently shows off her hot stuff on social media. But it's her lookalike son, Damian Hurley, who frequently shocks fans thanks to his DNA basically being a copy and paste of his mother's.

In a post honoring her son for his 24th birthday, Hurley posted a throwback photo from when Damian was just a little boy, as well as a more recent photo that showed the duo alongside each other. With their faces right next to each other, the resemblance is truly mindblowing.

"Happy 24th birthday to the light of my life ❤️ My No. 1 forever & ever ❤️ I love you@damianhurley1 💋💋💋," Hurley captioned the photo set, to which Damian replied, "Awww I love you mama twin forever ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️."

Retirement means different things to different people. For some, it’s a chance to slow down and remain close to what feels familiar. For others, it marks the moment they have been eagerly anticipating—the opportunity to explore the world on their own terms. People born in certain months often have a natural desire to travel, experience new things, and avoid staying in one place for too long, especially once life opens up a bit. For these individuals, travel isn’t just about checking destinations off a list; it’s about finally having the time and freedom to pursue the experiences they have been dreaming of for years.

Here are four birth months that are especially likely to mark the start of their personal travel era.

Which Birth Months Are Most Likely to Travel After They Retire?

Check for your birth month. Disregard your birth date.

March

People born in March tend to have a quiet but constant pull toward the world beyond their everyday surroundings. They’re the ones who daydream about far-off places, different cultures, and experiences that feel meaningful—not just fun. Even if they didn’t travel much earlier in life, that desire never really goes away. Retirement finally gives them the freedom to act on it, and once they start, they usually don’t want to stop. They’re drawn to places that feel a little magical or emotional—coastal towns, historic cities, or anywhere with a story behind it. Whether you're an imaginative, reflective Pisces or a bold, action-oriented Aries, this birth month seeks adventure throughout their lifetime.

June-born individuals don’t like feeling stuck, and that doesn’t suddenly change with age. Naturally curious and enjoying switching things up, they find traveling less like a luxury and more a necessity. After retirement, they’re often the ones planning multiple trips a year to keep life interesting. People born in June enjoy variety: a trip to a busy city, a quiet beach, and then somewhere totally unexpected. They also tend to connect easily with people, so traveling feels comfortable and exciting rather than overwhelming. Whether you're a curious, social Gemini or an intuitive, nostalgic Cancer, you seek meaningful memories.

FURTHER: 4 Birth Months Who Will Thrive in Retirement

September

People born in September approach travel a little differently; they’re not impulsive about it, but they absolutely follow through. Because they are definitely planners, they will have lists, ideas, and “someday” trips saved for years. When retirement finally comes, they’re ready. They enjoy traveling in an organized, fulfilling way, not in a chaotic way. Their trips often have a purpose, whether that’s learning something new, seeing famous landmarks, or just experiencing a place properly rather than rushing through it. Once they get into the rhythm of traveling, it becomes a regular part of their life. Whether you're a detail-focused, practical Virgo or a balanced Libra, your retirement era invites you to open your worldview through expansive experiences.

December

Thoseborn in Decemberhave a built-in sense that life is meant to be experienced fully, and retirement is when they really lean into that. In their advanced years, they welcome variety, not wanting to waste time doing the same thing every day. They like the idea of going places, trying new things, and making the most of their time. Travel feels exciting, energizing, and worth the effort. They’re usually open to bigger, longer trips that step outside their comfort zone. For them, retirement isn’t the end of something—it’s the beginning of a whole new chapter. Either an adventurous, freedom-loving Sagittarius or a disciplined, goal-driven Capricorn, you seek constant growth, no matter your age.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's son, Joseph Baena, is celebrating another exciting win at the INBA's Iron Gladiator competition in California.

Baena, 38, is following in the footsteps of Schwarzenegger, 78, an actor, businessman, and former California governor, known for roles in films like Terminator, True Lies, and Kindergarten Cop. Before all that, Schwarzenegger got his start as a bodybuilder, and the legendary Austrian is carrying on his legacy with his son, whom he shares with former household staffer Mildred Patricia “Patty” Baena. (He also has four children, Patrick, Katherine, Christopher, and Christina, with his ex-wife Maria Shriver.)

In a post showing Baena standing on stage in a black Speedo and brandishing a sword, the tanned bodybuilder smiled brightly as he celebrated his win.

"Your new INBA Iron Gladiator Classic Physique Champion!" the caption read.

Do Schwarzenegger and Baena Regularly Work Out Together?

Yes! Recently, the duo hit the gym together as Baena prepped for his competition.

“You have to shock the muscles!” Baena captioned the photos, clearly implying that the quote was something his father said to him as they lifted heavy barbells together in the gym.

View this post on Instagram What's the Duo's Workout Regimen Like?

Last year, Baena joined his father on the red carpet at the FUBAR premiere and opened up about hitting the gym together.

“He busts my balls if I’m not there at 7 a.m. He’s there every day. I’m there every day, or I try to be there every day. But yeah, we train together. We love working out together. He’s a great training partner,” Baena told Entertainment Tonight.

When asked if he’d ever portray his famous father onscreen, Baena went on to say that “it would be a great honor. Again, he’s a huge role model. He’s my dad. I would love to do justice to any role that takes to be him.”

If you didn't see Kanye West during his two sold-out shows at SoFi Stadium last week, there's no telling when you might get to see him play in the U.S. again. The controversial rapper is headed overseas for more shows, first stopping in New Delhi, India, before continuing on to Turkey, the Netherlands, and France.

July 10 through 12, West is scheduled for the Wireless Festival in Finsbury Park in London, but now, that festival has lost its biggest sponsor. On Sunday, Pepsi announced they were pulling out as a sponsor of the upcoming three-night event, sharing a short message with the British press that simply read, "Pepsi has decided to withdraw its sponsorship of Wireless Festival." The soft drink brand has been affiliated with the Wireless Festival since 2015.

Pepsi did not mention West specifically in the statement, but there have been growing online protests of the booking, and a strong condemnation from U.K. prime minister Keir Starmer, who told The Sun, "It is deeply concerning Kanye West has been booked to perform at Wireless despite his previous antisemitic remarks and celebration of Nazism. Antisemitism in any form is abhorrent and must be confronted firmly wherever it appears. Everyone has a responsibility to ensure Britain is a place where Jewish people feel safe."

Starmer was far from alone in his condemnation. London Mayor Sadiq Khan also publicly distanced his office from the booking, with a spokesperson telling The Guardianthat West's past conduct and comments are "offensive and wrong, and simply not reflective of London's values," while clarifying that City Hall had no involvement in the festival's decision.

The UK's Jewish Leadership Council called the booking "deeply irresponsible" and argued that West's January Wall Street Journal apology letter should be viewed with skepticism, given his history of selling swastika T-shirts and releasing a song called "Heil Hitler" after making previous apologies.

There are still three months to go until the Wireless Festival kicks off. With Pepsi removing its sponsorship, many are looking to PayPal, Rockstar Energy Drink, Budweiser, and Johnnie Walker, the show's remaining sponsors, to see what they might do. So far, none have made a statement.

Protest is spilling over to the comments section of Wireless Festival Instagram posts. "So men can just get away with anything it seems. Cool cool cool," someone wrote.

Another shared, "This is ridiculous, nice way of showing where you stand."

On another post, a protestor called it "Disgrace of a festival."

Another weighed in, "Wanted to go but cannot support that man and all he stands for… wth they thinking?"

TLC's Unexpected is certainly no stranger to controversy, but a newly released sneak peek of tomorrow's episode has pushed viewers to a breaking point.

A preview clip circulating on social media shows teen mom Bella Vaughn casually revealing to her mother that she and her boyfriendHunter Johnson waited just four days after giving birth to their son to have sex—and that the only birth control they're using is condoms. 

The conversation takes place with Bella's mother, Falen Vaughn, sitting right there, and the casualness of the entire exchange is what appears to have sent viewers over the edge. 

“Did it hurt?” Falen asks in the clip, to which Bella, 15, responds, “frick yeah.” Falen retorted by telling her daughter she’s supposed to wait, with a producer asking if she's using protection. Bella explains that they are using condoms only, with Falen saying that the two don't like to. Later in the video, Johnson, 13, chimes in, explaining that they are using protection, but he’s still scared and doesn’t want to get Bella pregnant again.

The clip has since gone viral, with fans flooding social media demanding TLC pull the show entirely.

“4 days? Sadly? Literally cancel the show,” one commented, while another agreed, “I would ball my eyes out to hear this from my daughter.”

“This is super disturbing,” said a third.

A fourth begged, “TLC PLEASE go ahead an cancel Unexpected after this season because Bella & Hunter’s episodes made me puke in my mouth.”

What makes the backlash hit even harder is that this isn't the first time Bella, Hunter, and her parents have landed in hot water this season. Just last week, an episode sparked its own wave of outrage after a scene revealed that Bella's parents had allowed Hunter to shower with Bella just days after she gave birth. The moment prompted Bella's mother Falen to defend herself on TikTok, doubling down on her decision and telling critics that since Bella had already had sex and a baby, she saw no issue with Hunter helping her in the shower postpartum.

Falen's response only added fuel to the fire. "We're going to do a little debriefing about the episode that aired on Monday, since we have been getting a lot of hate for that, so let's just see if we can make them even madder!" she told followers. Bella, meanwhile, teased her own response video, acknowledging that viewers "are gonna hate that, but it's gonna make us a lot of money, so I'm excited about that!"Unexpected premiered on TLC in 2017 and follows the journeys of pregnant teenagers and their families as they navigate parenthood.

Victoria Principal was a legendary beauty on Dallas, and she hasn't changed a bit!

The stunning actress, 76, who rose to fame as Pamela Barnes Ewing on the iconic TV series alongside legendary actors Larry Hagman and Linda Gray, spent nine years in her famous role. A brunette stunner for the ages, Principal has barely changed in the nearly 40 years since she departed the series, which followed the Texan Ewing family as they battled it out over oil. In a new plane selfie, Principal gazes out the window, and appears just as beautiful as her days on television during the '70s and '80s.

"Heading home. HAPPY EASTER!🐣," Principal captioned the photo, which showed her makeup-free and wearing glasses as she looked out the window of her plane.

What Does Victoria Principal Recall About Her Time on Dallas?

The actress knew she was dealing with something special when she auditioned for her role on Dallas.

“When I went in for the part on Dallas, I had already fallen in love with the show and with the part,” Principal told PEOPLE back in 2018. “So my feeling from the moment I read it was that it was incredibly special and that I really, really wanted to be a part of it. I could not imagine not being Pam.”

She got the job and skyrocketed to superstardom in the role. The series launched in 1978 and became a fan favorite.

“The first five years were some of the best television I’ve ever seen,” Principal continued. “And then after year seven, there was a definitive decline. At year seven, it was time for me to renegotiate my contract and I was very candid about my concern and my disappointment; that we had had such good writing and so many wonderful plots, and that when the time came to renegotiate the writers’ contracts, I felt that a number of writers had left because they had not gotten the right deal.”

Her character eventually died in a car accident, but Principal’s legacy lived on through reruns.

When the Women's Final Four tipped off in Phoenix on Friday night, the basketball was brilliant. South Carolina handed UConn their first loss of the season, while UCLA won its first-ever ticket to the national championship game. The energy on the court was electric, but the trio behind the ESPN desk matched it at every turn. Christine Williamson, Andraya Carter and Chiney Ogwumike have been the heartbeat of ESPN's women's tournament coverage all month. Their chemistry is palpable, their breakdowns are sharp, their energy is infectious, and their genuine love for the women’s game radiates through the screen.

So who are the women behind the desk? Here's everything to know about Christine Williamson, Andraya Carter and Chiney Ogwumike.

If this broadcast desk were a basketball team, Christine Williamson would be the point guard. She keeps the energy flowing, sets up her analysts with seamless transitions, and brings a magnetic presence to the screen.

Williamson’s rise at ESPN has been rapid. After joining the network in 2019 as a digital host, the former University of Miami volleyball player steadily worked her way onto bigger stages. In December 2025, ESPN elevated her to two high-profile roles: co-anchoring the 6 p.m. SportsCenter and serving as the network’s lead women’s college basketball studio host.

What Everyone's Googling: Why Is Christine Williamson Bald?

Williamson has been rocking her signature look since her sophomore year of college—and proudly owns the Instagram handle @TheBaldGirl. It has nothing to do with a medical condition; it’s a personal style choice that she's embraced for over a decade. "I chose to shave my head during my redshirt sophomore year," she told MiamiHurricanes.com. "I remember racking my brain about how I can get the elephant in the room on camera and talk about it upfront so people weren’t constantly asking me why I was bald."

Andraya Carter: The Rising Star Three torn ACLs ended her playing career, but Andraya Carter found a new way to dominate the court.

Andraya Carter's ability to make complex basketball strategy smart and accessible has made her one of the fastest-rising stars in sports media. She knows the game inside and out because she's lived and learned it from the best. In high school, she led Buford High School to three state championships and was recruited by the legendary Pat Summitt to play for the Tennessee Lady Vols. A series of devastating injuries—three torn ACLs—forced her into early retirement.

But Carter did anything but pivot away from her hoop dreams. As she chased her goal of becoming a broadcaster, the Georgia native worked 5:00 a.m. shifts at Orangetheory Fitness. Once, she even slept in her car to make a career-defining meeting with ESPN producers. Thanks to her relentless tenacity, she's now the first female analyst to cover all four major basketball properties for the network!

What Everyone's Googling: Is Andraya Carter Married?

Yes! In 2019, Carter married professional makeup artist Bre Austin. The couple met at Orangetheory Fitness in Atlanta, where they both worked as coaches.

When you talk about women’s basketball on national television, it helps to have someone who has played at the highest level and ladies and gentlemen, that's Chiney Ogwumike. Her resumé speaks for itself: She was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 WNBA Draft, Rookie of the Year and is a two-time All-Star.

Ogwumike proved just as dominant behind a microphone. In 2020, she became the first Black woman to ever host a national, daily sports-talk radio show on ESPN. The following year, she was named to Forbes' 30 Under 30 List. What makes her so vital to this desk is her locker room perspective. She knows what it feels like to carry a franchise and play through pressure, and the current generation of players deeply respects her voice. "I feel like women’s basketball for so long has been The Hunger Games," she wrote in a 2024 piece for The Players' Tribune. "Every generation has fought to move the game forward. But now we are Catching Fire. We are bringing that main character energy. We have flipped from the chapter titled Survive to the chapter called Thrive."

What Everyone's Googling: Is Chiney Ogwumike Married?

She is! Ogwumike married heavyweight boxer and mechanical engineer Raphael Akpejiori in 2023. They hosted nearly 1,000 guests at their epic five-day wedding in Houston.

Tony Orlando just turned 82, but the musical legend is aging like a fine wine!

Orlando, who skyrocketed to musical superstardom as part of the '70s pop music supergroup Tony Orlando and Dawn, was known for hits like  "Knock Three Times" and "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree." The group even had its own hit variety program, The Tony Orlando and Dawn Show, which ran on CBS during the '70s.

While Orlando retired from touring in 2024, he's clearly thriving. This weekend, he shared a sweet photo of himself on his Instagram page in honor of his 82nd birthday, and people couldn't believe how great he looked surrounded by silver balloons. Sporting a bright, big smile, the musical legend tossed up his hands.

"I’m absolutely blown away, overwhelmed, and humbled by all your amazing birthday wishes to me!! Thank you ALL so very much!!! I love you all and I’m forever grateful to you! 82 and feeling great!🙏🏻❤️," Orlando captioned the fun photo.

Fans Were Blown Away By How Great Orlando Looks

In the comments, fans were so impressed by how well Orlando is aging.

"It’s so hard to believe you’re 82 years old. In my mind, you’ll always be in your 30s. Thank you for all the music," one person shared.

"You look fantastic!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽♥️," another commenter chimed in.

"Looking fabulous, Happy 82nd Birthday to you, Tony," someone else commented.

Finding Comfort in Religion

What keeps Orlando going strong is his faith. Back in 2021, the music man opened up about how his religious faith is the thing that's kept him moving through hard times over the years.

"It all came down to my faith," Orlando told Closer Weekly. "My faith in the Lord was my saving grace. I was ashamed of disappointing God, who had gifted me with all this. I’ve always told people to keep the faith. It sounds like a cliche, but it’s not. You have to keep the faith, so you are not alone."

Ari is also working on repairing her friendship with Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) after Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) has been causing chaos for Holly's life.

Escorica’s professional credits date back to 2011, when she appeared in the telenovela Al caer la noche. She has continued working steadily in productions, including Mi pequeño gran hombre to Coyote Hills and most recently Acapulco and Femeni, singular.

Fifty-two years ago today, Stephen King published his first novel; and the fact that it exists at all is something of a miracle.

Carrie, the story of a bullied teenage girl with terrifying telekinetic powers, was rejected by publishers a whopping 30 times before it finally found a home. At one point, King was so discouraged that he pulled the manuscript from his typewriter and threw it in the trash. “I did three single-spaced pages of a first draft, then crumpled them up in disgust and threw them away,” King wrote in an essay for The Guardian in 2000.

It was his wife, Tabitha, who retrieved the pages, read them, and told him to keep going. Without her, one of the most celebrated horror novels in history might never have seen the light of day.

Doubleday finally published Carrie on April 5, 1974, and the response was unlike anything the publishing world had seen from a debut novelist. The paperback rights sold for $400,000—an extraordinary sum at the time—and King used half to pay off his debts and support his family, who had been living in a trailer while he worked as a schoolteacher. The novel spent months on bestseller lists.

Just two years after publication, director Brian De Palma adapted Carrie into a film starring Sissy Spacek in the title role and Piper Laurie as her terrifying mother. The 1976 adaptation became a commercial success, earning both actresses Academy Award nominations, which was a rare feat for a horror film at the time. Spacek's portrayal of Carrie White remains one of the most iconic performances in horror cinema.

The novel has since been adapted multiple times, including a 2013 remake starring Chloë Grace Moretz, and a 1988 Broadway musical that was famously short-lived but has since developed a cult following of its own.

For King, Carrie was just the beginning. It launched a career that has produced over 65 novels, hundreds of short stories, and some of the most iconic stories in modern literature. Happy anniversary!

Beyond the Gates is celebrating its first full year on the air, and now star Marquitta Goings, who plays Haley Hamilton, is reflecting on the milestone.

“I feel like it's been so many emotions, great emotions,” she exclusively tells Parade.

Beyond the Gates is the first new daytime soap to debut in more than 20 years and holds historical significance as the first hour-long soap centered on a predominately Black cast.

Reflecting on the early days, she added, “Just us getting the scripts, and meeting our other castmates, and meeting everyone behind the scenes, it was amazing.”

Goings portrays Haley Hamilton, a scheming vixen who married Bill Hamilton. As the story developed, it was revealed that Haley is a con artist plotting to get her hands on Bill’s fortune.  

The actress also spoke about the significance of being part of a groundbreaking project. “Being a part of something that's groundbreaking, that you are at the genesis of, it's just a great feeling,” she said.

Goings noted that joining a soap from the beginning came with unique challenges. “It stretches us as actors, because we're on set every day, 5 days a week, every weekday, dishing out 90 pages a day, that was an adjustment,” she said.

She added that watching both her own growth and that of her castmates has been especially rewarding. “Seeing how we were from the beginning and where we are right now, it's just a transformation,” she said.  “It's just been great.”

Goings also emphasized how different the soap format is compared to other acting roles. “We're not doing 10, 15 takes, we are trying to get it out on that first take,” she explained

Reflecting on the experience overall, she described the first year as both challenging and deeply rewarding.

The British royal family showed a united front during their annual Easter celebration. Keep reading to see how King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Princess Kate, and more spent the holiday. 

Who Was at the Royal Family’s Easter Celebration?

King Charles, 77, and Queen Camilla, 78, stepped out for the traditional Easter walk to St. George’s Chapel on April 5 alongside Prince William, 43, Kate Middleton, 44, and their three children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7. Princess Anne, 75, also attended with her husband Sir Timothy Laurence, 71, along with Prince Edward, 62, and his son James, Earl of Wessex, 18.

What Does the Royal Family Do on Easter Weekend?

Easter is a weekend-long celebration for the royal family. Charles and Camilla attended the Royal Maundy Service on Thursday, April 2. The pair gifted "Maundy Money," a tradition dating back to 600 A.D., to 154 recipients at St. Asaph Cathedral in North Wales. The 77 men and 77 women who received the white and red purses, a symbol commemorating the Last Supper, were selected in recognition of their Christian service to their local communities.

The family reportedly spends Good Friday privately at Windsor. Former royal chef, Darren McGrady, told The Mirror the royals typically dine on hot cross buns for breakfast and a fish dinner.

Charles did not make a public address for Easter, but he and many of his family members attended the Easter Matins church service at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle on April 5.

The King and Queen also sent warm wishes to the public, writing via Instagram, "🐣✝️ Wishing a joyous Easter Sunday to Christians celebrating in the UK, the Commonwealth and around the world today.”

Why Weren’t Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Sarah Ferguson, Princess Beatrice, or Princess Eugenie at Easter?

The former Prince Andrew and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson were excluded from the holiday amid their ongoing scandal, with both having ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew, 66, stepped back from his public duties in 2019 at the order of his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II. However, he continued to be included in family events, even attending the royals’ 2025 Easter celebration.

King Charles formally stripped his brother’s royal titles of Prince and Duke of York in October 2025 and evicted him from his residence at Royal Lodge. Andrew was arrested on his 66th birthday in February 2026 on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The arrest was related to communications he had with Epstein and allegations that he shared confidential trade information while serving as the UK's Special Representative for International Trade and Investment from 2001 to 2011. He was released after 11 hours under investigation, meaning no charges have been filed yet, BBC reported.

As for Andrew and Sarah’s daughter, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, and their own families, it was revealed before the holiday that they had alternative plans. Although the sisters attended the church service at St. George’s last year, they opted to sit this year out, reportedly after an agreement and understanding with their uncle, King Charles. Beatrice and Eugenie are expected to join future family celebrations.

What Did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Do on Easter?

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and their children, son Prince Archie, 6, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 4, did not attend any Easter festivities in the U.K. Instead, the family enjoyed a ski trip for the holiday.

Meghan, 44, posted a video of Harry, 41, and Archie skiing down a mountain via Instagram on April 3 with the caption, “My boys. Quick learner, Archie! So proud.”
