Heading back to school means less time at home and less control over whether or not your kids actually eat what you pack them for lunch. My own children often fail to consume more than a bite or two of anything other than chips or a granola bar, leaving me questioning all of my life choices as the fruits and veggies I sent for lunch wither away uneaten, lost to the depths of their backpacks. 

Founded by a dad who’s intimately familiar with the lunchbox struggle, Grüns Kids was created to solve nutritional gaps in a child’s diet. According to information from the retailer, nearly 90% of kids in the United States aren’t eating enough vegetables, and most fall short of recommended fiber intake. And those apples and carrots you packed them for lunch? They’re the most likely foods to come back home untouched. That’s where Grüns Kids Superfood Gummies come in. Shaped like a gummy bear, but packed with essential nutrients, they’re one thing you can pack in your child’s lunchbox and feel good about. 

Always consult a healthcare professional before starting a new supplement routine.

Reportedly made with organic fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms, each serving of Grüns Kids Superfood Gummies contains more than 60 whole-food ingredients, over 20 essential vitamins and minerals, plus prebiotic fiber. Recommended for children ages 2 to 13, they come pre-packaged in individual daily snack pack servings (28 packs in each order).

Grüns Kids Superfood Gummies are vegan-friendly and free from artificial colors and synthetic sweeteners. It’s important to note, however, that these gummies do contain sugar or sugar alcohols, depending on whether you choose the low-sugar or sugar-free version. Supplements aren’t designed to replace healthy eating, so it’s important to make sure to check with your doctor or pediatrician before adding new vitamins or supplements to your kids’ daily intake.

The gummies come in an original strawberry flavor, as well as a new raspberry lemonade version. “My daughter who will barely touch a veggie ate all of these immediately,” one parent who called these gummies a “game changer” raved. Another customer shared that “the ease of use and being prepackaged makes it convenient to grab and carry,” which makes them especially perfect for packing as a daycare snack time and in school lunches.

Ordering the Grüns Kids Superfood Gummies through the retailer’s website is meant to be quick and easy. Most orders ship within 24 hours, arriving on average two days later, which is not much different from ordering something at Amazon. And if your child doesn’t like the gummies, there’s a 30-day guarantee on your first order, so you can return or exchange them risk-free.

Iconic supermodel Iman has opened up about the meaning behind a tattoo she had inked in January to mark the 10th anniversary of her husband David Bowie’s death. The design is taken from the cover of Blackstar, the haunting, critically acclaimed album Bowie released just two days before he died of liver cancer on January 10, 2016, at the age of 69. But the tattoo holds a secret that even devoted fans might have missed.

“It actually says Bowie in stars,”  Iman exclusively told PEOPLE,  explaining that the unique typeface from the Blackstar album cover spells out her late husband’s name. “People [were] trying to decipher in the first couple of years what it meant,” she added with a smile.

For Iman, the tattoo is less about grief and more about keeping love alive. “It’s trying to keep the memory alive that is joyful,” she said. “And that’s why I did this in ten years.”

The love story she is honoring is one for the ages. Iman and Bowie met on a blind date in 1990 and fell for each other immediately. Two years later, Bowie proposed on the banks of the River Seine in Paris and the couple married at St. James’ Episcopal Church in Italy in June 1992. In August 2000, they welcomed their daughter, Alexandria Zahra Jones. Their marriage, by all accounts, was a rare and genuine partnership between two singular icons.

When Iman first unveiled the tattoo on Instagram in January, she captioned the video with words that said everything: “Jan 10th. The pain didn’t vanish… it left in its place a loving permanent mark.”

Ten years on, the mark remains and so does the love.

Phil Collins’ haunting 1981 hit “In the Air Tonight” returns as the signature opener for one of the biggest stages in sports.

Billboard reports that Ludacris will join Chris Stapleton and Cindy Blackman Santana for Monday Night Football’s opener with Collins’ hit. 

“The second you hear that song, you know something big is coming,” the rapper revealed to the outlet, noting that it allowed him to “bring new energy to Monday Night Football.”

“Monday night magic/ Closing out the weekend/ Luda on the mic/ It’s football season!” the Grammy winner and actor rhymes, closing out his rap with “Put ‘em in the air, new year, new anthem,” as Blackman Santana drums the fill from “In the Air Tonight,” often recognized as the greatest and most iconic drum fill in history.

“Chris and Cindy have helped make ‘In the Air Tonight’ an integral part of the Monday Night Football experience over the last three seasons,” Julie McGlone, ESPN vp, production and executive producer of the In the Air Tonight project, said in a statement.

“Adding Ludacris to the legacy MNF anthem brings a new dimension to the creative and continues our tradition of celebrating the intensity, anticipation and shared emotion of American sports culture, where music, competition and spectacle come together to make each game feel like a cultural event.”

With Monday Night Football just around the corner—it kicks off on Monday, September 14, 2026, with the Denver Broncos visiting the Kansas City Chiefs—the segment will lead into each match for the 2026 season. 

It’s officially the fourth season that Stapleton and Blackman Santana have reimagined the track for the ESPN broadcast, marking Luda’s first time joining the duo. Snoop Dogg was previously involved in 2023, the year it launched. 

The classic Collins tune was one of the most recognizable songs of the 1980s, ranked among “500 Greatest Songs of All Time” by Rolling Stone.

It charted at No.19 on the Hot 100 and became the singer’s signature solo hit, known for its moody atmosphere, “eerie synth-and-drum-machine moodscape,” making it a natural fit for high-profile sports events. 

With its continued presence on Monday Night Football, the legendary song continues to reach a new generation of fans, more than four decades after its release.

After the highly publicized Lindsay Clancy trial ended in a mistrial last week, attentions largely turned to the yet unidentified male juror who other jurors have claimed had reasonable doubt but refused to apply the law to come back with a not guilty by reason of insanity verdict for Clancy, resulting in the mistrial.

Recently, several female jurors spoke out about their experience with that holdout juror during the seven days of deliberations, and Clancy’s lawyer, Kevin Reddington, likewise expressed his own frustrations in a speech after the mistrial was declared. Now, one of the three male jurors has also spoken about the experience, sharing new disturbing accusations about the holdout juror’s behavior in the jury room.

Speaking with ABC News Chief Investigative Correspondent Aaron Katersky, juror Nick Dargie alleged that the holdout juror at one point used the exercise band that was actually used to strangle the children to “mimic” strangulation using a water bottle.

Dargie said, “There was several times I would ask him to show us evidence or, you know, describe a witness testimony that helped to prove what he was saying, and he couldn’t…There was times he wouldn’t engage. Like, he’d be scrolling on his phone while people are talking to him. Yeah, things like that.”

“He took the exercise band out of the bag, grabbed an empty water bottle and tied the band around the water bottle and pulled it,” Dargie continued. About whether the juror explained why he did that, Dargie said, “He might’ve, I’m not entirely [sure]. I think I was just so shocked that he did that.”

Dargie confirmed that it was meant to mimic how Clancy killed her three children, Cora Clancy, Dawson Clancy and Callan Clancy, saying, “I assume so, yeah,” and he called the behavior “disgusting.”

The next hearing for the Clancy trial is scheduled for Sept. 29, at which point many are hoping to find out whether the prosecution will be retrying the case, as they are currently expected to do.

In the 1980s and ‘90s, Michael Douglas helped define the psychological thriller genre. The actor played complicated, morally flawed characters in films such as Wall Street, A Perfect Murder, and more. But it was the Oscar-nominated 1987 erotic thriller Fatal Attraction that would first cement his status as one of the most compelling leading men of the era.

In Fatal Attraction, Douglas plays Dan Gallagher, a New York lawyer who has a one-night stand with a book editor, Alex Forrest (Glenn Close), while his wife Beth (Anne Archer) is out of town. When Dan tries to end the affair, Alex becomes obsessive and begins to stalk him and his family. It’s his wife who must take matters into her own hands in a violent bathroom scene at the end of the film.

In a recent ranking post, Fatal Attraction was ranked among the “best psychological thrillers of all time” by Marie Claire. The outlet also credited Close for her “stellar” performance, describing the Adrian Lyne film as “the original erotic thriller and one of the most classic ‘80s movies for a reason.”

Nearly 40 years later, Fatal Attraction has a “fresh” score of 74 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, where it’s described as “a potboiler in the finest sense…sultry, juicy thriller that’s hard to look away from once it gets going.”

Douglas once revealed that he took a new approach to acting while filming Fatal Attraction.

“Somebody had advised me early in my career that the camera can always tell when you’re lying, and I took that to heart and became a bit of a method actor, just sort of taking me down to the bare skeleton,” he told Halifax City News in an interview.

While preparing for Fatal Attraction, he thought to himself, “Wait a minute — acting is about lying. Acting is just about being a good liar. I remember having this hysterical, cathartic giggle and then laugh and almost like a switch went off.”

“After that, acting became joyful and fun, because it was a game,” Douglas added. “Whether it was dramatic or funny, it was a game in seduction, of convincing somebody that you were telling the truth.”

As for Fatal Attraction’s tragic storyline, the film originally had a different ending in which Alex killed herself and framed Dan for the murder. But producers changed it to the bathroom scene with Beth.

“The big one on that picture of course, was the ending, which was an interesting debate,” Douglas told the American Film Institute, explaining that test audiences didn’t like the original ending.

“Glenn, of course, felt strongly for her character, but then there was a lot of criticism, reviews about changing endings based upon audiences, you know, viewing it,” Douglas recalled. “So we talked and I felt the same way, I saw it just wasn’t there. We were so successful at what we had done that they wanted me to kill her, and we looked at I think it was and basically, you know Adrian came up with the bathtub scene and all of that.”

Close was not happy with the ending and argued with the studio for two weeks over not addressing the reasons behind Alex’s mental breakdown, according to The New York Times.

“Now she’s considered one of the greatest villains ever,” Close said of her troubled character. “That to me is a mistake. I’ve never thought of her as a villain, just in distress.”

Thirty-nine years after its release, Fatal Attraction remains one of the most memorable films of the 1980s, with both Douglas and Close delivering iconic performances.

On the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, many people are reflecting, not on the tragedy, but on the heroes who stepped up on the deadly day.

One of those heroes was known at first only as the “Man in the Red Bandana,” but was quickly identified as 24-year-old Welles Crowther. A volunteer firefighter and equities trader, Crowther was working in the South Tower on 9/11 when the attacks started.

Instead of running for safety, he covered his face with the now-iconic bandana and stayed, helping as many as 18 people survive.

Welles Crowther was 24, an equities trader on the 104th floor of the South Tower, and a volunteer firefighter who still carried the red bandanna his father gave him as a boy.

When the second plane hit, survivors on the 78th-floor sky lobby remembered a young man with that… pic.twitter.com/orlOUWlrhH

One of the people Crowther saved, Ling Young, spoke of his bravery following the attacks.

“He’s definitely my guardian angel — no ifs, ands or buts —‚ because without him, we would be sitting there, waiting [until] the building came down,” she told CNN, eventually meeting Crowther’s mom in person. “It really helped me tremendously, and helped me heal a little bit more, at least mentally.”

Another person saved by Crowther, Judy Wein, added, “In his mind, he had a duty to do — to save people.”

Sadly, Crowther did not survive, and his body was found in March 2002, along with those of several firefighters and emergency workers. In his room, a mostly completed application to the FDNY was discovered following his death.

On September 8, 2026, President Donald Trump posthumously awarded Crowther the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States. His mother, Allison Crowther, accepted the award on his behalf.

“That Welles’ light still shines brilliantly today, even after 25 years, is a testament to his legacy of courage, compassion, and love for humanity that continues to inspire and uplift others,” Allison said at the ceremony.

President Barack Obama also honored Crowther during his presidency, saying during a dedication to the National September 11 Memorial in 2014, “They didn’t know his name. They didn’t know where he came from. But they knew their lives had been saved by the man in the red bandana.”

Bed bugs are notoriously good at staying out of sight. Their flat bodies allow them to hide along mattress seams, behind headboards, under carpeting and inside cracks around baseboards and furniture. Finding an infestation can therefore require more than simply looking for live bugs.

Some pest control companies use specially trained scent-detection dogs to help locate hidden activity. Instead of relying on sight, the dogs are trained to recognize odors associated with bed bugs and alert their handlers when they detect them.

Orkin uses canine bed bug inspections in select areas, pairing trained dogs with experienced handlers and follow-up visual confirmation when a dog alerts. So, how accurate are bed bug dogs, and when does a canine inspection make sense?

If you suspect bed bugs but can’t find where they’re hiding, an Orkin Pro can inspect the property and recommend an appropriate detection and treatment plan.

Well-trained bed bug detection dogs can be highly accurate, particularly under controlled conditions. Real-world performance, however, varies depending on the dog, handler, training and inspection environment.

One University of Florida study found that trained dogs correctly identified bed bugs with a 97.5% positive indication rate and no false positives during controlled testing. The dogs also achieved 98% accuracy when locating live bed bugs placed in hotel rooms.

Those results show what properly trained detection dogs are capable of, but they shouldn’t be interpreted as a guaranteed 98% accuracy rate during every inspection.

A later field study published in the Journal of Economic Entomology evaluated commercial canine teams in naturally infested apartments and found substantial variation between dogs and even between inspections performed by the same team. Researchers concluded that training and real-world conditions can strongly influence results.

That makes the quality of the complete dog-and-handler team particularly important.

Bed bug dogs aren’t searching for something they can see. They’re following scent.

During training, dogs learn to distinguish bed bug odors from other insects and household smells. Research from the University of Florida found that trained dogs could distinguish live bed bugs and viable eggs from dead bed bugs, shed skins and feces.

That ability can be useful because bed bugs often occupy areas that are difficult to inspect visually. Orkin lists common hiding places such as mattress seams, box springs, furniture, carpets, baseboards and cracks or gaps around a home.

A trained dog can move through the room sniffing those areas and alert the handler when it detects the target odor.

Inspection Method

Main Advantage

Potential Limitation

Canine inspection

Can rapidly search large areas using scent

Accuracy depends on training and handler performance

Visual inspection

Allows an inspector to physically confirm evidence

Hidden or low-level infestations can be difficult to locate

Canine + visual confirmation

Combines rapid scent detection with physical evidence

Requires a trained canine team and inspector

Monitoring devices

Can detect activity over time

Results are not immediate

Canine detection can be especially useful when the infestation is small or spread through a large property. Visual inspections still matter, however. Finding an actual bed bug, egg, fecal spot or shed skin provides physical confirmation of activity.

That’s why Orkin’s canine inspection process doesn’t rely on the dog’s alert alone. When a canine alerts, an Orkin Pro performs an additional inspection to confirm bed bug activity.

If bed bugs are suspected but a visual search hasn’t located them, Orkin can evaluate whether a canine or conventional inspection is appropriate for the property.

A sensitive nose isn’t enough by itself. Dogs need to be trained to recognize the correct odor, ignore distractions and communicate consistently with their handler. Handlers also need to interpret alerts without unintentionally influencing the dog’s behavior.

Orkin says its canine teams complete a six- to eight-week training program and receive third-party certification. Ongoing practice matters as well because real homes contain far more competing smells than a controlled training environment.

Detection dogs can identify odors coming from areas that would be difficult for a person to inspect directly, but an alert doesn’t necessarily reveal the exact number or precise location of every insect. That makes canine inspections useful around locations such as baseboards, furniture, carpeting and other concealed areas.

Orkin says its trained dogs can detect bed bug scents in locations that are difficult for humans to reach. A professional can then concentrate the physical inspection around the alerted area rather than dismantling large portions of a room in search of a tiny infestation.

Canine inspection makes the most sense when bed bugs are suspected but difficult to confirm, or when a large area needs to be checked quickly. It can also be useful for post-treatment purposes, when the goal is to determine whether live insects remain.

The strongest approach combines the dog’s scent-detection ability with professional inspection rather than treating the canine alert as proof by itself. Orkin follows that model by using the dog to locate suspected activity and inspecting an alerted area before determining the next step.

For homeowners, that’s worth considering when the evidence isn’t obvious. Bed bugs can remain hidden long before an infestation becomes easy to see, and identifying the affected areas early can make it easier to develop a targeted treatment plan.

If you’re seeing possible bed bug signs or simply can’t determine where they’re coming from, request an inspection from Orkin to identify the problem and discuss treatment options.

2026 marks a staggering milestone for NBC: The network’s 100th anniversary. The peacock-led network is displaying its full plumage this fall, including a live special on Sept. 10 commemorating the occasion. And the Paley Center for Media is getting in on the celebration, launching a brand-new blockbuster exhibit in New York City.

Opening Friday, Sept. 18, “NBC100: A Century Together” honors NBC reaching triple-digit years on the air. The immersive exhibit is spread across a whopping three floors and, according to a press release, “brings together more than 75 iconic costumes and artifacts, interactive photo opportunities, and beloved
NBC programming.” Fans will be able to see costumes, props, and even step into set recreations of historic shows like Law & Order, ER, 30 Rock and Friday Night Lights.

“Few brands have shaped American culture and television like NBC. For 100 years, NBC has delivered iconic shows, unforgettable personalities, and moments that became part of our shared national experience,” says Maureen J. Reidy, President & CEO, The Paley Center for Media, in a statement. “We are thrilled to partner with NBC on this must-see exhibit, taking audiences on an extraordinary journey through a century of television history and celebrating the legacy and cultural impact of NBC.”

Among the examples listed in the press release, attendees will be able to see Joey’s classic “too many clothes” outfit from Friends, Dan Aykroyd and Steve Martin’s costumes from their “Wild and Crazy Guys” characters on SNL, as well as wardrobe from Steve Carell, Martin Sheen, Ted Danson, and Barbara Eden. But not everything will be for display only, as fans will get the chance for myriad photo opportunities across the exhibit. They can take a spin in The Voice‘s coaches’ chair, sit at Johnny Carson’s legendary Tonight Show desk, and even make their Olympic dreams come true by standing at the top of a podium.

Additionally, the week after the exhibit opens, on Wednesday, Sept. 23, The Paley Museum will host a special kickoff event. “NBC100 Presents: TV’s Next Generation” will highlight a number of young primetime talent, as they talk about their NBC origin stories, as well as behind-the-scenes stories from some of the most beloved shows on today.

It’s only appropriate that, in honor of such a momentous occasion in the history of television, the network that patented the term “must-see TV” get a must-see exhibit for the fall.

A day after the Spice Girls teased a major announcement for Thursday, the news itself let fans down to say the least.

The announcement, which ended up being a release of their hits dubbed The Singles Collection on vinyl and in CD format, along with artwork, and “surprises from the vault,” disappointed fans in the Instagram post’s comments who were hoping for a tour.

“You have gotta be joking we were ready for a world tour ladies!!!!” one commenter said.

“What we really, really, really want is a final world tour where all the fans who have followed you for three decades can see you live—more than just continuing to collect vinyl or CDs,” another expressed. “That would be a fitting finale for you girls as the greatest all-female band of all time.”

“This was it? I literally was looking up part time jobs to buy tickets for tour,” said another.

It’s worth noting that 2026 marks 30 years since the group released their debut album Spice.

However, while fans expressed their disappointment, perhaps they shouldn’t be surprised as previous rumors of a tour have been shut down in the past.

“I can tell you it’s not happening,” Mel B told Hello! Magazine earlier this year. “If it does, it’ll be a shock to me, let’s put it that way. When I look at that [2019 tour] and at the feeling it gave me, I was in my element, but there comes a time…I’m 50.”

Although the group’s opinions may vary as Mel C said last year, ““I would be there tomorrow, obviously.”

“We have so many incredible opportunities, we all have very busy lives, you see all of the girls are still out there doing lots of incredible things and it’s just the timing, agreeing on what we’d like to do,” she said of getting the other group members, including Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, and Geri Halliwell, to sign on.

The Singles Collection will be available purchase in November and includes one of the group’s “earliest demos” “Do You Think About Me.”

Kristin Hannah has announced her next novel.

The bestselling author of The Women and The Nightingale will return with The Fire, a new novel from St. Martin’s Press. Hannah’s books have sold more than 35 million copies worldwide, and several of her best-known works are also heading to the big screen.

With The Fire, Hannah is turning to a modern-day story centered on one woman whose life changes after betrayal forces her into the public eye. The novel will explore difficult choices, strained family relationships and what happens when a woman who has spent much of her life fulfilling expectations decides to break from them.

Here is everything we know so far.

The Fire will be published on May 4, 2027, by St. Martin’s Press. Following the massive success of The Women, this new release will be Hannah’s first in over three years.

St. Martin’s Press describes The Fire as a modern American story rather than the historical setting readers may associate with books such as The Women and The Nightingale. The new novel will instead focus on a woman navigating family conflict, public scrutiny and the consequences of a decision that changes the direction of her life.

The Fire centers on Merritt Locke, who is described as a faithful wife, devoted mother and generous daughter. Her life is upended when she is betrayed by those she trusts and suddenly finds herself in the public spotlight.

According to the publisher, Merritt then breaks “the one rule everyone in her life is counting on her to uphold.” That decision becomes the turning point of the novel.

In the aftermath, Merritt sets out on an impulsive cross-country journey to reconnect with her estranged daughter. During the trip, she meets and joins forces with other women whose lives and experiences become part of the larger story.

St. Martin’s Press describes The Fire as an exploration of “the bonds between women and the transformative power of finding one’s voice.”

The story is also being positioned as a novel about America and the divisions shaping the country. The publisher calls the book “an anthem to those who feel invisible and forgotten and a rallying cry for women of every age to stand together to be seen…and heard.”

Hannah says the characters in The Fire have been with her for years.

“I can’t wait for The Fire to launch into the world. I’ve been living with these remarkable female characters for years and I am eager to share their story. I look forward to the conversations this novel will spark about the difficult choices we must sometimes make and the transformative power of finding your voice.”

The announcement does not reveal every detail surrounding Merritt’s betrayal or the rule she decides to break, leaving one of the story’s central conflicts unresolved ahead of publication. It also leaves open how Merritt’s journey and the women she meets will influence her attempt to reconnect with her daughter.

Based on the publisher’s description and Hannah’s comments, The Fire will focus heavily on women’s relationships with one another and the consequences of speaking up after remaining silent. Merritt’s estrangement from her daughter also places a mother-daughter relationship at the center of the story.

Hannah’s own statement emphasizes “the difficult choices we must sometimes make” and “the transformative power of finding your voice,” both of which appear to be central to Merritt’s story.

The setting also gives Hannah room to address issues playing out in present-day America rather than looking at them through a historical backdrop.

25 years ago, on the morning of September 11th, photographer Phil Penman was standing in the ash of Lower Manhattan when he saw a woman walking toward him.

Joanne “Jojo” Capestro had just escaped the North Tower, walking down 87 flights of stairs after the World Trade Center was attacked on Sept. 11, 2001. She was covered in white dust, carrying her shoes in her hand, and trying to make her way through the devastation.

“I raised my camera and took a photograph that captured a moment of pure survival—an image that would bind our lives together forever,” Penman captioned the photo posted to his Instagram page Sept. 10, 2026.

The photograph he took captured Capestro in a moment of survival and neither of them could have known that the image would eventually connect their lives in a way that lasted far beyond that morning.

Years later, the 9/11 Memorial Museum helped reconnect Penman and Capestro and what began with a photograph taken during one of the darkest moments in American history eventually became a close friendship.

“Then, seventeen years after that tragic morning, Joanne called me with news: she was getting married to the love of her life, Robert. She asked me if I would photograph her wedding,” Penman wrote.

On Capestro’s wedding day, the two found themselves on opposite sides of a photograph separated by nearly two decades. This time, Capestro wasn’t covered in the white dust of Lower Manhattan, she was wearing a white wedding dress.

Penman calls Capestro’s wedding day “one of the most emotional moments of my career” and included a photo of the pair, beaming, on Capestro’s wedding day in his Instagram post.

“Joanne said it best: ‘Phil was with me on the best day of my life and the worst day of my life’,” Penman wrote.

For Penman, the story represents something photographers rarely anticipate when they pick up a camera.

“As a photographer, you hope to document history,” he wrote. “You never expect that history will bring you a lifelong friend, or that a lens once trained on tragedy would get to capture such incredible joy, resilience, and hope.”

Andy Cohen got a brutal reminder that kids have absolutely no filter when his daughter Lucy’s first day of school took an unexpected turn.

The Watch What Happens Live host revealed that his morning got off to a “rough” start after a child apparently mistook him for Lucy’s grandpa, prompting a very amused reaction from his daughter.

In an Instagram video, Cohen described the awkward encounter. “I just picked up Lucy from her abridged first day of school, and a little kid came up to me and said, ‘Are you her grandpa?’” Cohen said. “I said, ‘No, I’m her daddy.’”

He then turned to Lucy, who was off camera, and asked, “Lucy, am I your grandpa?” To which she joyfully replied, “Yes!”

Cohen’s followers quickly came to his defense while also having plenty of fun at his expense. From blaming his gray hair to joking that Lucy seemed to agree with the kid, the comments became a collective reminder that children have a way of humbling their parents. One fan summed up the defense perfectly: “You’re a Zaddy NOT A Grandpa.”

Another fan revealed that her husband had experienced something similar. “My husband had gray early & one of my daughter’s friends asked why she had a grandpa daddy. The mom was so embarrassed, but we still laugh about it—20 years later!”

Plenty of other fans commiserated with Cohen, sharing their own stories and offering some advice. “Time to start wearing a hat to pick up the kids,” one person joked.

Another fan, who said she had her youngest child at 42, reassured Cohen that being an older parent isn’t necessarily a bad thing. “I’m also sure we are the most fun! So don’t sweat it!” she wrote.

Then, of course, there were the equally cringeworthy stories about things children have said without realizing just how brutal they sounded. “Owwwch! I remember working with kids, and they would occasionally ask me if I was pregnant (no, I’ve never been pregnant),” one commenter recalled.

Country legend Shania Twain just reimagined her own song with a little help from one of the hottest EDM artists around.

Twain teamed up with Zedd for the first time to release a dance remix of her classic hit, “You’re Still the One,” as part of a Candy Crush collaboration.

The love ballad, released as a single on Jan. 13, 1998 from her 1997 album Come on Over, missed the top spot, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, but it remains a classic to this day.

Due to its massive impact, however, it always felt like a No. 1 pop hit.

Not only did the song get plenty of airplay, it also garnered four Grammy nominations in 1999, with two wins for Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance. It also marked Twain’s highest-charting song on the all-genre charts, spending 42 weeks on the Hot 100 as a major country-pop crossover hit that made her a household name.

And now, it’s back in the spotlight, with a new sound that’s bringing it to a new generation of listeners, while keeping in-tact what made the song such a success in the first place—Twain’s vocals.

As for what Twain thinks about this second life, she told Billboard, “It’s a great, new, exciting platform for the song, for my classic, and I’m flattered by it.”

She was thrilled that Zedd respected the song, adding, “It’s just a very, very, very classic song and vocal with Zedd’s musical magic.”

The tune is being released as part of Candy Crush’s Music Season 2026, complete with an interactive music video that pulls into Candy Country, a colorful, bubble-gum pink Western-inspired world.

Of the concept, she told the outlet, “I would never have thought of that myself,” adding, “So I was excited about it. And it takes the song to a whole other place. It takes it to a different universe, is a good way to put it.”

Zedd—who has plenty of his own megahits, including “I Want You to Know” and “The Middle” (his collaboration with country singer Maren Morris), which hit No. 1 on dance/pop formats—revealed it was a dream to work with the “legendary artist.”

“I grew up listening to her music, so being able to collaborate with her on a new version of such an iconic song has been really special,” he expressed.

However, he had never heard this particular song, admitting to EDM.com that it allowed him to “produce a song with a blank slate.”

“That’s what excites me the most. I love writing around vocals and I love finding a new home for them. You can mold it into anything.”

Fans of Entourage got something they probably didn’t expect this week: Adrian Grenier and Jeremy Piven back together on screen.

The two actors, who played the fast-talking super-agent Ari Gold and movie star Vincent Chase respectively on the beloved HBO series, reunited in a glossy ad for Jake Paul’s online gambling app Betr. The commercial leans into the same dynamic that made them famous: Piven’s Ari-like smoothness convincing Grenier’s effortlessly cool star to sign on to something, before delivering the pitch to Paul himself. “I got your two superstar faces for your superstar app,” Piven tells Paul at the end of the ad. “We’re in, baby.”

For Ellin, the man who spent years crafting every word of the show that made both actors household names, watching his creation echoed in a gambling commercial was too much to take. “This is trash and theft. Period,” he wrote on X. “I watch it and I wanna throw up.” (Tell us how you really feel, Doug.)

But beneath the colorful language, Ellin’s frustration cuts to something deeper than just the quality of the ad: it’s about the respect owed to the writers and creators behind the characters who make the actors famous. “A lot of times, people in Hollywood don’t give the writer the credit they deserve,” he said in a video posted to Instagram. “I’m not talking about me, I’m talking about all the people that worked on the show.”

Ellin also didn’t hold back about the history behind his stars’ success, claiming he had to convince Piven to take the role in the first place. “We found these people. We cast these people,” he said. “I actually had to beg Piven to do the show.”

I have zero positivity in watching things I busted my ass of on for years he turned into garbage seek. Zero positivity. Go create your own shit. And if you need money for
Flip burgers. This is trash and theft. Period. https://t.co/lYn0UcPUG1

His message to his former cast was ultimately less about bitterness and more about creative integrity. “I want everyone to get paid, get rich,” he said. “Just f—in’ do your own s—.” Representatives for Grenier and Piven have not yet responded to requests for comment.

Entourage ran for eight seasons on HBO from 2004 to 2011 and spawned a 2015 feature film. Now, more than a decade after the show’s finale, Ari and Vincent are back together – just not in the way fans might have expected or the creator wanted.

Fall is in the air at Starbucks, and along with the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte, the coffee franchise is celebrating the crisp season with a brand-new collaboration.

Starbucks is teaming up with Peanuts to launch limited-edition merchandise to celebrate the beloved It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown Halloween special. The collab also coincides with the special’s 60th anniversary.

The Peanuts-inspired line, which drops on September 15, will include 10 collectable items, including the already viral Snoopy Glass Cold Cup. The cup, a Snoopy wearing a green scarf and pumpkin-colored hat and featuring a Woodstock straw topper, retails for $39.95. However, there is a two-item limit per customer.

So, where can you find the Snoopy Cup, which is already being compared to the hard-to-snag Bearista Cup that was released in the 2025 holiday season?

The item will be sold in stores worldwide, while supplies last, but some customers are already seeing the Snoopy Cup in stores and online.

“I saw that it’s released on Sep 15, but when I went to pick up my morning drink, I saw my store already displaying two glass cups with a plush, so I bought it,” one person wrote on Reddit before another added, “They do advance drops online if your membership is a high enough tier.”

And supplies are reportedly very limited, with one person commenting, “Someone in another thread said their store only had 10 arrive. People can buy 2 each. So literally only 5 to 10 people will be able to buy these.”

However, if you are not lucky enough to grab one before the official release or online, you might need to line up early to get the Snoopy Cup before it sells out. Sadly, it is reportedly already reselling online for $200.

The collection also includes an orange stainless steel tumbler with Woodstock charm and dancing Snoopy, a mini Snoopy Tote, a plush Snoopy bag charm, and an enamel pin set.

Good luck!

Henry Winkler is opening up on the difficulties surrounding his childhood relationship with his parents, a relationship he said was fraught with abuse.

Appearing on the In Depth with Grant Bensinger podcast this past Wednesday, the Happy Days star talked about the difficulties that came with his childhood diagnosis of dyslexia, something that led his parents to regularly criticize him through his childhood.

“I’d never heard of [dyslexia] before,” Winkler said. “I just I was told I was stupid. I was told I was lazy. I bought it.”

“How can a teacher or a parent see their child is struggling and not go, ‘You know what? Let’s take a breath here. Something is wrong. I don’t know necessarily what it is, but come on,’” he continued. “But I was blamed for being the way I was on purpose.”

While Winkler said that he had complete admiration for his parents and all the amazing things they accomplished in their lives, he was also candid in explaining how they felt “embarrassed” by their child due to his diagnosis.

“I embarrassed my parents,” Winkler frankly admitted. “My parents could speak several languages. Dad could speak 11, and it was great. I mean, I really do admire [them]. They escaped Nazi Germany. They came to another country. They got to be able to stay here and become citizens… I appreciate all of that. I mean appreciate in the truest sense of the word. But as human beings, I was a failure. They let me know it.”

While Winkler said he has largely forgiven his parents for the way they treated him, he hasn’t completely forgotten the sting of being called a “stupid dog” due to his learning disability.

“When you see your child and your child is having a problem, you don’t call them [a] stupid dog,” he said. “You go, ‘Woah, wait a minute. There’s a problem here. I don’t know what it is, but let’s see.’ At least make you feel better so that you’re not floundering all the time, and feeling less than, and feeling like a failure — that is still, to me, unforgivable.”

By age 11, Sly Stone had already mastered guitar, bass and drums. Years later, the San Francisco musical prodigy would put those talents to work on “Everyday People,” writing and producing the song that became Sly & the Family Stone’s first No. 1 hit.

Sly, born Sylvester Stewart, was already working on both sides of the music business by the mid-1960s. He DJed at San Francisco soul station KSOL and produced tracks for Autumn Records, working with Bay Area acts such as the Beau Brummels, the Mojo Men, Bobby Freeman and Grace Slick‘s first band, the Great Society. 

Sly & the Family Stone came together in San Francisco in 1966, with Sly leading the group alongside several of his siblings, including Freddie Stone and Rose Stone. The band scored its first major chart success with “Dance to the Music,” which reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1968. 

Later that year, the group released “Everyday People,” a song about getting along despite the racial and social divisions of the time. It hit the airwaves in November, with the country already on edge over assassinations, riots and the war in Vietnam.

Sly kept the song moving. It lasts only 2:18, the shortest run time among 1969’s No. 1 hits. The song entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 93 for the week ending Nov. 30, 1968, but it took several months to reach the top.

By the week ending Jan. 11, 1969, “Everyday People” had only climbed to No. 26. It then jumped to No. 15, No. 5 and eventually No. 2, where it spent two weeks behind Tommy James & the Shondells‘ “Crimson and Clover.” The song finally reached No. 1 in February. 

It stayed there for four consecutive weeks, the longest No. 1 run of Stone’s career. “Everyday People” spent 19 weeks on the Hot 100 and finished as Billboard’s No. 5 song of 1969. Its success also put the song alongside other socially conscious No. 1 hits of the era, including Aretha Franklin‘s “Respect” and The Rascals’ “People Got to Be Free.” 

“Everyday People” appeared on Sly & the Family Stone’s fourth studio album, Stand!, released in May 1969. The album peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard 200 and stayed on the chart for 102 weeks, both marks being career highs for the group.

The record also included “Sing a Simple Song,” “Stand!” and “I Want to Take You Higher.” Stand! was inducted into the National Recording Registry in 2014 and the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2015. 

Just months after the song reached No. 1, Sly & the Family Stone performed “Everyday People” at Woodstock on Aug. 17, 1969. It holds a unique place in the festival’s history because it was the only No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hit performed there by its original artist.

More than five decades later, “Everyday People” continues to rank among Sly Stone’s best-known recordings. Rolling Stone placed it at No. 109 on its 2024 update of its “500 Greatest Songs of All Time” list, while Billboard included it on its 2023 list of the 500 Best Pop Songs.
