Bette Midleris giving fans a dose of bittersweet nostalgia with her latest Instagram post.

The iconic actress took to social media on Tuesday with a black-and-white photo of her with her First Wives Club castmates Goldie Hawn and the late Diane Keaton, as well as the film's composer Marc Shaiman.

"It was the best of times," she captioned the sweet pic.

Fans, delighted by the photo, immediately took to the comments praising the 1996 film and remembering Keaton who died in October at age 79:

• "Movie was such an authentic needed script of 'real life' for the women when we are in the thick of it," one said. "Thank you."
• "I saw this movie when I was 11 and it was so formative. Sweet Diane is so missed," said another.
• "Love seeing this!!!" a third said, while another fan suggested, "Frame this in the Louvre."

Plenty of other fans also recited lyrics from the song, "You Don't Own Me," by Lesley Gore, which iconically closes out the film. Speaking of the film's music, another fan brought up Shaiman's book Never Mind The Happy.

"It is a fast and terrific read. This photo is included in the book," they said. "It is obvious that Marc loves you do [sic] death and is forever grateful for all that you did to help him make it in the business. We loved reading his stories especially about you."

Following Keaton's death, both Midler and Hawn both shared tributes to their longtime friend.

"I cannot tell you how unbearably sad this makes me," Midler wrote of the Annie Hall star's passing at the time. "She was hilarious, a complete original, and completely without guile, or any of the competitiveness one would have expected from such a star. What you saw was who she was…oh, la, lala!"

Hawn, in a speech at the The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment Gala in December, referred to Keaton as "lightning in a bottle."

“She just brought so much joy, so much life, so much exuberance," she said. "She was like lightning in a bottle. There wasn’t anything that she couldn’t do, there wasn’t any world that she couldn’t live in.”

Newcomer Catherine Laga'aia plays Moana in the live action movie. The 19-year-old actress is already familiar with filmmaking because her father acted in multiple Star Warsmovies.

Here is everything to know about her father and what she said about following in his footsteps.

Catherine is the daughter of Jay Laga'aia and Sandie Jane Laga'aia. He was Captain Gregar Typho in the Star Wars prequels. The character worked with Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman) as a captain for Naboo's forces.

Laga'aia, 62 is from New Zealand and Australia. He acts mostly in sci-fi and fantasy projects like Legend of the Seeker, Daybreakers, and Shadow Wars. However, he did have a long run on the Australian soap opera, Home and Away as Elijah Johnson. Catherine told PEOPLE that she wants to make her father proud with the Disney movie.

"I think having my dad in the industry, as well as wanting to do the OG proud, and wanting to do the people who love the movies proud, I feel my biggest thing was I wanted him to be proud," she said.

The daughter said she asked herself what her dad would do throughout the process. "He knows what’s good, he knows what he likes," she continued. "I’m someone on his side. That’s the part of my family that I’m representing."

Catherine also has seven siblings named Sefa, Jeremy, Tana, Georgia, Jessica, Katie, Bella and Matthew. Some of them are also in the entertainment industry, which wasn't her father's goal.

"It's the last thing I wanted them to do," he told ABC News. "I've been doing this 42 years and it's something that I love doing. It is my calling. But at the end of the day, somebody said to me, 'if this is their forever job, then who am I to stand in their way?'"

When Does the Live Action 'Moana' Come Out?

The new movie will be in theaters on Friday, July 10. Dwayne Johnson reprises his role as Maui in the live-action film. He's not the only one from the animated movie to make it into this version. Jemaine Clement returns as the narcissistic crab Tamatoa. Johnson, 54, confirmed there will more to Moana's story.

"Yes, we have talked about ‘Moana 3,’ yes," the movie star said at a press conference, according to Variety. "But first, live-action ‘Moana,’ we’ll let that come out first. We have [the] amazing Jared Bush and Dana Ledoux Miller, who have been our writers … they will pen ‘Moana 3.’"

Bush, 52, was a writer on Zootopia, Zootopia 2, Encanto, and Moana 2. Miller created the story for the Moana sequel.

Auli'i Cravalho voiced the main character in the second movie. There is a chance she could return, but she has moved on to other roles. It was recently announced she's playing Jessica Cruz in My Adventures with Superman.

There's no better feeling than when you're favorite band announces new music, especially after a long hiatus without a fresh LP to indulge in.

After an 11-year wait, Alabama Shakes have announced their upcoming album, I Must Be Dreaming, set to be released on Aug. 28 via Island.

The beloved rock band, which went on hiatus in 2018, has been slowly trickling out new music, with the two singles of the forthcoming album having been released over the last few months. Last summer, the group dropped "Another Life," their first original track in 10 years, and "American Dream" followed in Apr. 2026.

"There’s a double meaning to it," lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Brittany Howard said in a statement, explaining the title of their third studio album. "It could be saying, 'I must be dreaming, because the world is so f---ing crazy right now.' But it could also mean, 'I must be dreaming, because the world is so incredibly beautiful.' Both those things can be true at once."

On June 10, the band will release the third single from I Must Be Dreaming, titled "I Feel Hope Coming". Howard said that the latest single pays homage to the "younger generation," and the hope that they bring during turbulent times.

Howard continued, "They can see through all the political lies — that song’s about holding onto that hope, and refusing to give up.”

Guitarist Heath Fogg added: “I’m really happy that song exists. It came from such a joyful moment of collaboration, and exemplifies everything I love about this band being reborn.”

Later this month, the Grammy Award-winning three-piece continue their much-anticipated tour, stopping at major cities across the U.S. and North America. The tour kicked off in Richmond, VA on April 16, playing both newer hits and the old classics. During the upcoming leg, which resumes in Tacoma, WA on July 24, the rockers may debut some of the brand new tracks from I Must Be Dreaming.

It's time to put your phone down and enjoy the moment—and Yotel launched a program to help travelers do just that. The first-of-its-kind initiative, Anti-Appy Hour, officially went live on World Wellness Day, but it's continuing far beyond the summer holiday (recognized on June 13).

The brand announced its new agenda, which is meant to help with digital fatigue in an ever-changing world that's largely dependent on technology, via press release. The hotel chain's ask is simple: take an intentional hour (or more...) away from your devices to be present, mindful, and engaged in the real world around you.

And the push to make that small shift is needed now more than ever. According to a survey on screen addiction, on average, Americans spent five hours and 16 minutes per day on their phones last year, a 14% increase from 2024. Meanwhile, Hilton's Trends Report found that the demand for unplugged travel is rising: one-third of adults are seeking more opportunities to decompress when away from home.

"We're all a bit overloaded right now—phones constantly buzzing, tabs multiplying, attention pulled in every direction before you've even had your morning coffee," Olivia Donnan, Senior Vice President, Brand, Culture and Growth at Yotel, noted of the need for such a program. "Anti-Appy Hour is our way of giving guests—whether they're staying with us or just need a reset mid-city—a genuine reason to put it all down for a bit. Not a digital detox, not a wellness lecture, just a proper pocket of time that's actually yours to reset, recharge or reconnect."

To participate, visitors are invited to tap a Bloom card—a stainless steel, app-blocking keycard recently seen on Shark Tank—on their phone to temporarily block selected apps for the allotted time. In place of the hour spent scrolling, guests can choose to "sip on a Bloom cocktail, strike up conversations with fellow travelers, or embrace a moment of quiet reflection with complimentary postcards available throughout the space." Bloom cards will be available on-site.

Yotel's Anti-Appy Hour has already gone into effect globally, from its hotspots across Europe, to Tokyo, Japan, and the U.S. (Washington, D.C. and Boston).

Things to Do at Yotel

Yotel offers different amenities at each of its properties, but the Washington, D.C. location is a standout in the nation's capital. From self-service and mobile check-in/out to modern, unique ambient LED mood lighting throughout each room, motorized, adjustable (not to mention comfortable) SmartBeds, and chic bathroom spaces, you're bound to settle in nicely.

The rooftop pool with relaxing cabanas and a bar serving a selection of drinks, frozen beverages, and bites adds a nice touch, especially for hot summer days. Plus, downstairs on the ground floor, the award-winning Art & Soul restaurant is open for breakfast/brunch (the fresh banana bread is a must-try!), lunch, and dinner, with flavorful, seasonal dishes.

Additionally, the central Capitol Hill location offers easy access to a variety of nearby attractions—the U.S. Capitol building, Botanic Gardens, Eastern Market, and the Library of Congress (the largest library in the world), to name a few—whether just visiting the city or enjoying a weekend staycation.

The fast-casual giant sweetgreen recently announced a partnership with Alice Waters, the legendary chef who birthed healthy cuisine at Chez Panisse, to bring a seasonal Peach and Goat Cheese Salad to its menus. For the iconic chain built on the promise of scalable sustainability, landing Waters is the ultimate co-sign. For Waters, it is a direct line to the office workers and commuters she has spent decades trying to reach outside of Berkeley.

The salad itself is a stripped-back, summer-heavy assembly. It pairs ripe peaches with fresh goat cheese, built over a base of shredded kale and arugula. Mint leaves and roasted almonds add texture, while a simple cucumber-tomato mix rounds out the bowl. It is dressed in a basic balsamic vinaigrette. There are no trendy grains here; the success of the dish focuses on the balance of ripe fruit with crisp leafy greens. The brand announced the new salad on Instagram, with the caption, "Every bite gives back." Fans went wild over the announcement, with comments ranging from "ICONIC!!!!" to "Obsessed."

The real engine of the collaboration is a worthy cause: a portion of the proceeds from every salad sold goes directly to The Edible Schoolyard Project, the non-profit Waters founded in 1995 at Berkeley’s King Middle School. The organization integrates organic gardening and kitchen education into public school curriculums, arguing that food education is a core academic subject.

By tying the menu item to school lunch reform, sweetgreen is attempting to claw back some of its original, mission-driven credibility. Critics of the company say it has faced the inevitable pressures of a public corporation, often pushing it closer to standard fast-food mechanics than local farm networks. This partnership positions the brand as a bridge between agricultural activism and the reality of a twenty-minute lunch break.

Whether the partnership can shift systemic food access remains an open question. But by leveraging Waters' culinary authority, sweetgreen is enabling a conversation about food education into the middle of the corporate lunch rush. The salad is available nationwide on the sweetgreen app and website for a limited time through the peak of the summer peach season.

It's been more than 30 years since the end ofFull House, and Jodie Sweetin looks back at the relationship she had with Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen as children and where they are now as adults.

Sweetin played the older sister to the Olsen twins on Full House when they were only six and three years old. The actor reveals on a recent appearance on The McBride Rewind podcast that growing up beyond the young characters they once were changed their dynamic as friends.

As kids on the show, Sweetin revealed that the Olsen twins would often spend the night at her house and even join her and her parents on a weekend trip to their cabin. They would do everything from horseback riding to Disneyland, and even play dress-up. Sweetin admits that over the years, the reality of fame at a young age drifted them apart.

“I think after Full House and growing up and everything, they’ve had an extremely different trajectory than any of the rest of us. They were 8 years old when the show finished. If you knew somebody the first eight years of your life, and then you sort of drifted away, like, how many people do you still talk to from that? It’s not like it’s a bad thing," explained Sweetin.

She added that the Olsen twins also likely had less recollection of their time on Full House compared to everyone else. Due to having starred on the show since being infants, Sweetin believes they only had a few years of really remembering "and then moved on and did a whole host of other things in their life."

In the years following the end of the series, the Olsen twins became known for preferring life away from the spotlight as they grew older after being known as teen icons. For Sweetin, she believes it was their decision due to having worked their entire childhood and not having moments to be normal.

“Those girls worked their entire childhood. They did not have as many advocates making sure that they had a balanced childhood,” she explained. “So I can only imagine that their experience was very different than mine or Candace’s. We would take a hiatus, and I’d get a few months off. I’d go be a kid, we’d go on vacation, we’d do these things. And they would be doing movies, and the mystery series, and product launches, and all of this stuff. And it was a lot. It was a lot for them.”

Sweetin adds that they likely came to a point of realization that they didn't want to be doing this forever and wanted a way out. For Sweetin, the Olsen twins are "very private people because they lost that. And so I think they fiercely protect that privacy."

For more than three decades, Elvis Presley starred in dozens of Hollywood films, but only one gave fans a look they never saw before or since.

Released in 1969, Charro! remains the only movie in which Presley appeared with facial hair, sporting a rugged beard as he took on the role of former outlaw Jess Wade. The film also marked another major departure from the formula that had defined nearly all of his movie career.

Unlike the musical comedies that made Presley a box office staple throughout the 1960s, Charro! was a straight Western. Aside from performing the title song over the opening credits, Presley didn't sing at all during the film, making it the only movie of his career without an on-screen musical performance.

The change was intentional. After years of starring in lighthearted films packed with songs, Presley hoped Charro! would allow him to prove himself as a serious dramatic actor.

Instead, the movie received mixed reviews from critics upon its release.

Varietycriticized the film's slow pacing and screenplay, arguing that the script gave Presley little to work with despite his efforts in the leading role. Other reviewers suggested the film never fully capitalized on the dramatic direction it promised.

Even so, Charro! has become something of a curiosity among Elvis fans over the years.

Beyond the beard and the absence of musical numbers, it was also the only Presley film produced by National General Pictures. It featured a grittier, spaghetti Western-inspired score by composer Hugo Montenegro. It leaned into a more serious tone than audiences had come to expect from the King of Rock 'n' Roll's Hollywood output.

Although Charro! never achieved the lasting popularity of classics like Blue Hawaii, Viva Las Vegas or Jailhouse Rock, it occupies a unique place in Presley's filmography.

More than five decades later, the movie remains a fascinating and rare glimpse at the dramatic actor he hoped to become and the only time fans ever saw the music legend sporting a beard on the big screen.

Pulp's 1995 Britpop anthem "Common People" is one of the defining songs of the era and the band's most famous track. But, with the release of My Chemical Romance's cover, fans who weren't alive during the 1990s have misinterpreted the lyrics.

The song is, according to The Guardian, about "the long-term disenfranchised and perma-skint, who spend their lives feeling broke, scared and hopeless, without a safety net."

In the song, the poor, working-class protagonist meets a rich woman who pretends to be penniless. Frontman Jarvis Cocker wrote the song while studying film at Central Saint Martin’s College in London and it is based on a real person he met during his studies.

“It turned out she was from quite a well-to-do background and somehow thought it would be interesting to go and live in a kind of scummy area, as she found that exotic," Jarvis Cocker explained. “I was studying film, and she might’ve been doing painting, but we both did sculpture for two weeks.”

As The Financial Timessays, the song "railed against class tourism, the naive desire of bohemian sons and daughters of fortune to blend into the underclass."

"Common People" has found a new life as My Chemical Romance released it as part of the reissue of Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.

“[It] is a song that, growing up in New Jersey, it was very important to me and Mikey [Way],” frontman Gerard told NME. “It was very relevant to us, feeling like you were in a place you could never get out of, that you were never going to escape.”

On platforms like TikTok, some fans of the New Jersey rockers mistook the "common people" line for "non-alternative" or "mainstream" people, ironically using the lyrics to claim it's about celebrating uniqueness. Many younger fans have made videos celebrating how they are not like the "common people", losing the initial message of the track.

While everyone is allowed to interpret a song in their own way, some commentators have found the "misinterpretation" offensive. After all, the themes of class tourism are still as important today as they were in the 1990s when Jarvis Cocker wrote the track.

The next Starbucks Bearista Cup is finally heading out—and it's coming with an entire merch collection inspired by a fan-favorite menu item.

Earlier this summer, the international coffee giant wowed fans with two limited-time merch collections, one inspired by the whimsical cartoon character Miffy and the other featuring nods to road trip culture.

Well, today the brand confirmed the viral pink Bearista collectible that it teased a few weeks back would be at the center of its next installment of highly sought-after reusable cups and accessories, bringing the aesthetic of the namesake drink (and what Starbucks reports as one of its "most beloved" beverages) to everyday items.

Actress Louise Lasser, whose unforgettable performance in Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman helped reshape television comedy in the 1970s, has died at age 87. Her friend Susan Charlotte confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that Lasser died of natural causes Monday, June 6, at her Manhattan home.

Lasser was married to writer/director Woody Allen from 1966 to 1970, though their creative partnership extended far beyond the end of their marriage. She appeared in five Allen films, including Take the Money and Run, Bananas and Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask), it was her starring role as Mary Hartman that made her a television icon.

Premiering in 1976, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman was unlike anything audiences had seen before. Developed by Norman Lear as a satire of soap operas and American consumer culture, the syndicated series aired five nights a week and mixed absurd comedy with surprisingly dark storylines involving family dysfunction, consumerism, religion, violence and mental health. Its influence can still be seen in later offbeat series that blended comedy and discomfort in equal measure.

Ironically, Lasser almost passed on the role.

In a 2014 interview with Parade, she admitted she "literally didn't get it" when Lear first approached her about the series. It took five meetings before she agreed to star in it, trusting the legendary producer's instincts.

"How could you not be crazy about his work?" she said. "We could try anything. They'd let us try pretty much anything... We found the show as we went along."

Lasser's performance as the endlessly overwhelmed Ohio housewife became the show's emotional center. Wearing Mary's trademark braids and blue smock dress, she portrayed a woman trying to maintain normalcy as increasingly bizarre events unfolded around her. The role earned Lasser an Emmy nomination in 1976 during an era when the television industry struggled to categorize the groundbreaking series.

Looking back decades later, Lasser said she never believed the show was simply ahead of its time.

"I always thought it was a really good show because it touches so many aspects of everything," she told Interview magazine in 2013. "People always say it's way ahead of its time. I never thought it was ahead of its time. I always thought it was of its time."

She also explained that beneath the show's quirky humor was something much more serious.

"The humor came from a great angst inside," Lasser said. "I see it as a sad story."

That emotional depth reached its peak during Mary's famous nervous breakdown storyline, an arc that Lasser herself suggested. Recalling the creative decision, she said that she felt the whole show was leading up to that storyline.

"For me, everything led up to that ... because you can’t be this bombarded without… Do you know what I mean? ... I once said that I thought she was like a survivor that lived in a world that might not be worth surviving in, you know?" Lasser recalled at the time.

Before Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, Lasser had built an impressive résumé on stage and screen. She replaced Barbra Streisand in the Broadway production of I Can Get It for You Wholesale, studied with legendary acting teacherSanford Meisner, and became one of Woody Allen's earliest collaborators.

Following the success of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, Lasser continued acting with roles on Taxi, It's a Living and, decades later, a memorable recurring role as eccentric artist Beadie on HBO's Girls. She also appeared in films including Requiem for a Dream, Happiness and Mystery Men.

Fifty years after Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman premiered, the series remains one of television's defining cult classics. It was ranked among TV Guide's greatest cult shows and is widely remembered for proving that television comedy could be surreal, unsettling and deeply insightful all at once. Through Lasser's singular performance, Mary Hartman became one of the medium's most unforgettable characters.

The Eagles aren't leaving Las Vegas anytime soon.

On Tuesday, July 7, the '70s rock legends announced yet another extension to their Vegas residency at the Sphere.

The most recent social media announcement read, "Due to overwhelming demand, four additional shows — Friday, December 4, Saturday, December 5, Friday, December 11, and Saturday, December 12 – have been added to Eagles – Live in Concert at Sphere, the longest-running residency at the revolutionary venue with 68 shows in total."

The general on-sale for the newly added shows will begin Friday, July 17, at 10 AM. There are also packages available via the Vibee Hotel & Experience starting July 9 at 10 AM PT. Ticket prices reportedly start at $175, including taxes and fees, per Variety.

This isn't the first time the Eagles have extended their multi-year residency, previously adding 6 additional dates in May spanning Sept. and Nov. 2026.

The rockers will now be hitting the stage for two weekends in Dec., ending the year on a high note with their biggest fans.

The Eagles’ residency is now the longest-running at the iconic venue, with a total of 68 shows across their decades-long career. It began in September 2024, giving fans an immersive experience spanning the group’s catalog of hits, including Desperado, Tequila Sunrise and Witchy Woman. 

The current Eagles lineup includes founding member Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit, with additional touring members including Vince Gill and Deacon Frey, the son of late co-founder Glenn Frey. 

While most of the year has seen the rock band playing the Sphere, they also hit the stage for a handful of shows earlier in the year as part of their “The Long Goodbye, Act III” tour. 

Henley previously told CBS Sunday Morning that despite the demand, the Sphere residency likely will not extend beyond 2026. 

“I think this year will probably be it,” he admitted, acknowledging, “And I’ve said things like that before, but I feel like we’re getting toward the end and that will be fine, too.”

Soon-to-be White Lotus star Charlie Hall recently shared the most heartwarming reason why he thought his mom, Seinfeld icon Julia Louis-Dreyfus, was actually famous.

"It's funny, I don't remember when I sort of figured out the Seinfeld of it all, but I do remember when I was really young, I was convinced that my mom was famous for like just being a mom," he said in a Jenna and Sheinelle interview on Tuesday.

Hall, 29, who is currently starring in Apple TV's Maximum Pleasure, and was just 1 year old when the iconic sitcom wrapped, went on to explain that, "I thought people were asking for her autograph and stuff because she was my mom. I don't remember when that switched, but I do remember being surprised when other moms wouldn't get [asked] because I'm like, 'Wait, they're also moms, what's going on here?'"

Fast forward and Hall has been following in his mom's footsteps, first by attending her alma mater of Northwestern University and now going on to star in several TV series, including Ryan Murphy's Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story in 2024.

When it came to scoring a coveted role on The White Lotus, Hall recalled the moment he shared the news with her.

"I called her, and she was with my dad, and I remember her kind of being [like], 'He got it, he got it, he got it, he got it,'" he said. "It was really, really sweet. She's just so stoked, really just excited for me to be on a show of this quality, just because it's really, really, really good."

The HBO series, which has followed a changing cast of characters during their hotel stay at 'The White Lotus' for three seasons now, will head to Cannes, Saint-Tropez, Monaco, and Paris for its fourth installment. Along with Hall, the series will also star Laura Dern, who will be replacing Helena Bonham Carter after she exited the show,Sandra Bernhard, Steve Coogan, and Kumail Nanjiani.

"It's so good, and Mike White is incredible," Hall said of the series' creator.

Louis-Dreyfus shares Hall with husband, actor, and filmmaker, Brad Hall. The couple, who got married in 1987, are also parents to Henry, 34, who is a musician and also an actor.

George Harrison was ready to prove he was just as good a songwriter as his Beatles bandmatesJohn Lennon and Paul McCartneywhen he wrote the track "Something," which became one of their biggest love songs of all time.

While the Beatles undoubtedly have plenty of love songs, "Something" has quite an interesting backstory about its inspiration based on certain accounts, even Harrison's. The track's development began in September 1968 while the band was working on their self-titled double album. It wasn't released until 1969 as part of Abbey Road before it became a single.

According to reports, Harrison stopped working on the track when he felt the lyrics were coming to him too easily and worried he was taking the melody from another song. In reality, the opening lyrics were taken from James Taylor's "Something in the Way She Moves," with a composition inspired by Ray Charles.

Believe it or not, "Something" was rejected by the band at the time due to Lennon and McCartney showing little interest in his ideas. Producer George Martin was also unimpressed and called it "too weak and derivative." By the time Abbey Road was worked on, Harrison became more assertive about including his work.

"Something" was originally eight minutes long due to a jam-session piano solo by Lennon. It was later cut down to the released version by almost three minutes. The track was considered the best from the album by Lennon and landed at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Tagged as one of the Beatles' greatest love songs, its inspiration has a few different stories. Many believe "Something" was written about Pattie Boyd, Harrison's first wife, with her even claiming the musician told her it was about her.

“George wrote a song called ‘Something,’” wrote Boyd in her 2007 book, Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me. “He told me in a matter-of-fact way that he had written it for me. I thought it was beautiful and it turned out to be the most successful song he ever wrote, with more than 150 cover versions."

Well, Harrison would debunk what she said and give another backstory behind the track's inspiration. He would at first claim it was "maybe Pattie, probably" that inspired the classic. Harrison would later reveal to a friend from the Hare Krishna Movement that the song was about the Hindu deity Krishna, and told Rolling Stone that his love songs focused on "all love is part of a universal love. When you love a woman, it's the God in her that you see."

By the late 1990's, Harrison would deny "Something" being about Boyd because "everybody presumed I wrote it about Pattie." He explained it was likely due to how the film that accompanied the track showed scenes of them and other couples together.

When you need a jolt of energy in the morning, you likely reach for your favorite caffeinated beverage. Whether coffee or tea is your preferred drink, you know it'll do the trick and leave you feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, as a popular saying goes.

If you're actually seeking bright eyes, caffeine can also work wonders when used in skincare products, particularly eye creams. Not familiar with this brilliant skincare trick? That's OK, because we consulted dermatologists to get their picks for the 11 best caffeine eye creams that actually combat puffiness and dark circles.

But first, we wanted to understand what causes these two beauty concerns in the first place. As it turns out, there are a number of possible reasons.

"Puffy eyes and dark circles are usually caused by a combination of aging, genetics, fluid retention, allergies, irritation and lifestyle factors, including lack of sleep, irritating cosmetics and high-salt diets," Dr. Jodi Logerfo, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, DCNP, tells Parade.

Logerfo, who specializes in both medical and cosmetic dermatology, says the tissues and ligaments around the eyes weaken as we age.

"Fat pads can shift and the lower eyelid may lose support, creating the appearance of under-eye bags or puffiness," she explains.

How Does Caffeine Help With Puffiness and Dark Circles?

Dr. Mona Foad, a board-certified dermatologist and the founder of MONA Dermatology, says eye creams often contain caffeine because it can temporarily constrict blood vessels and reduce fluid buildup under the eyes.

"This can make puffiness appear less noticeable and may improve the appearance of certain types of dark circles, particularly those with a vascular or bluish component," she tells Parade. "While caffeine can provide visible improvement, it's important to remember that not all dark circles are caused by the same factors, so results can vary from person to person."

What Percentage of Caffeine Should You Look for in an Eye Cream?

Unfortunately, Foad says most brands don't reveal the exact percentage of caffeine in their eye creams. Moreover, there's no magic number to look for.

"In general, I encourage patients to focus less on the percentage and more on the overall formulation. The ingredients that accompany caffeine and the product's ability to be tolerated consistently are often more important than a specific number on the label," she explains.

How Long Does It Take for Caffeine Eye Cream To Work?

In the world of skincare, there are no miracle cures, but caffeine is an ingredient that works quicker than most.

"Some patients may notice an improvement in puffiness relatively quickly, sometimes within hours of application. However, concerns like dark circles, fine lines and overall skin quality typically require more consistent use over several weeks. Like most skincare products, the best results come from regular, long-term use rather than expecting an immediate transformation," Foad says.

How To Apply Eye Cream Correctly

Sometimes, applying a product incorrectly can spoil the results you could have seen with proper usage. For that reason, it's best to follow the pros' tips below before applying eye cream.

• Watch your pressure: Foad recommends applying eye cream gently using your ring finger. Logerfo agrees, saying, "Gently dab the product along the orbital bone (under the eyes and around the outer corners), avoiding rubbing or pulling the skin."
• Less is more: "One of the biggest mistakes people make with eye cream is applying too much product or putting it too close to the lash line. This can cause irritation and dryness and even allow the product to go into the eyes. I recommend applying a dot of eye cream (like a piece of rice) along the orbital bone with gentle pressure and patting it in," Logerfo says.
• Beware of harsh ingredients: "Another common mistake is using an eye cream that is too strong for the delicate skin around the eyes. Fragrances, harsh active ingredients or products that aren’t formulated for the eye area can trigger irritation, redness, swelling or allergic reactions," Logerfo says.
• Stay consistent: "Use it morning and/or night after cleansing the skin, and allow it to absorb before applying other products or makeup," Logerfo says.

What Other Ingredients Work Well With Caffeine in Eye Cream?

Certain ingredients simply make each other better. In caffeine's case, the ingredient typically plays well with hyaluronic acid, peptides, antioxidants and niacinamide.

"Hyaluronic acid helps improve hydration, peptides can support collagen production and antioxidants help protect against environmental damage. I generally look for formulations that address multiple concerns at once since puffiness, dark circles, dehydration and fine lines often occur together," Foad tells Parade.

"I like this product because it addresses multiple concerns around the eye area, including dark circles, puffiness and fine lines. It provides immediate brightening benefits while also supporting longer-term improvements in skin quality, making it a well-rounded option for many patients," Foad tells Parade.

In addition to caffeine, the eye cream is chockful of other powerful ingredients including hydrating hyaluronic acid plus phenylethyl resorcinol and marine extracts, which assist with hyperpigmentation.

A packed room at the Aspen Ideas Festival went quiet when Jodie Foster floated a theory about one of last year's biggest hits. F1, she suggested, might not have strictly come from a screenwriter at all.

Foster shared the idea during a conversation titled "Who Owns the Future of Hollywood," seated alongside former Sony Pictures chief Michael Lynton. She wasn't trying to insult Joseph Kosinski's racing drama, which grossed more than $634 million worldwide and won the Academy Award for Best Sound. She was making a broader point about how formulaic modern blockbusters have become, and how easily that formula gets mistaken for the fingerprints of generative AI.

Foster prefaced the comment by noting she wasn't being critical, since the film made the studio a fortune. Then she said it outright: "F1 was made by AI. Wasn’t it?"

She backed up the theory with specifics. The story beats hit exactly where a film school syllabus would put them, she said, and the dialogue sounded as though it was written by a computer trained on big box office successes. Foster credited the filmmakers with using that formula to make something big and beautiful, even as she wondered how much of the underlying material came from elsewhere.

Foster isn't alone. A review from Consequence had already flagged Brad Pitt's performance as a somewhat distorted version of his basic movie star persona, and pointed to long stretches where corporate logos dominate the frame, the kind of surface-level polish critics increasingly describe as algorithmic.

The comment comes during a tense time for Hollywood, where AI has become the industry's most divisive subject. Foster acknowledged the technology is already displacing crowd scene actors and other jobs, but said unions could adapt by requiring studios to pay performers for every use of their likeness. She added that she thinks that's fair.

She isn't opposed to AI outright. Foster said the tool can help with small tasks like previsualization and storyboarding, and revealed that her 2025 French film "A Private Life" used AI to generate a dream sequence. The resulting images made no sense, but she found them striking anyway.

Foster's larger argument was about control, not prohibition. If filmmakers can master the technology rather than be replaced by it, she said, the industry can use AI to make films that still reflect human judgment. Whether that balance stays long-term, she admitted, is an open question. After all, the industry has been reshaped by new technology every few decades, from the studio system's birth in the 1920s through television, home video and streaming.

Representatives for F1 and Apple did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Foster's remarks.

Good Morning Americahas officially selected best-selling writer Daniel Mason's new book, Country People, as its pick for July 2026's GMA Book Club, providing readers with their next beach book read of the season, according to People.

The publisher's description for Country People reads, "Miles Krzelewski is a devoted husband, a doting father beloved for his outlandish bedtime stories, and the proud owner of a truffle-hunting dog in a land with no truffles. He is also a bit lost, twelve years late with his PhD on Russian folktales and increasingly haunted by a sense that he’s become a disappointment to his family."

"So when his wife, Kate, accepts a visiting professorship at a prestigious college in the faraway forests of Vermont, he decides that this will be the year to finally move forward with his life," the descirption continues. "No sooner does he arrive than he finds himself entangled with a cast of characters as colorful as those of any of his folktales, from a ghostly tree surgeon to a scythe-mad biochemist, from a Shakespearean temptress to a photographer of snowflakes obsessed with chronicling, on thousands of index cards, the world’s delusions in an Inventory of Wrong Ideas."

Arriving in bookstores nationwide on July 7, Country People has already won significant renown from mainstream readers and critics, with many favorably comparing it to Mason's critically well-received 2023 novel North Woods.

"This is, put simply, a joyful book – and the deeper you dig, the more joyful it becomes," deemed The Guardian.

Discussing his new book with People, Mason said that he believes Country People taps into the tradition of Alice in Wonderland and other transformative works, something he believes will help transport readers to a world beyond their wildest imaginations.

“Miles is a folklore scholar and he comes to Vermont thinking it’s gonna to help him with his research into Russian folktales,” Mason said. “What happens, though, is he encounters a real-life legend of southern Vermont [and] meets a group of enthusiasts who believe that somewhere in the mountains there’s a kind of portal, almost like a magical portal, into an underworld and really into an earth that is somehow hollow.”
