Brendan Fraser's Sons Join Dad In Rare Appearance at 'Pressure' Premiere

Wed, 05/27/2026 - 1:36pm

Brendan Fraser's latest movie premiere in New York City was a family affair.

On Tuesday, the actor's two sons Griffin and Leland, supported their dad in his latest venture, World War II movie 'Pressure,' coming to theaters on Friday. The family also sported coordinating outfits, all matching in dark green, which was perhaps a nod to the military uniform Fraser wears in the film as he plays Dwight D. Eisenhower.

The boys both sported green shirts and dark pants while their famed dad wore an all-green suit for the occasion.

Griffin, 23, and Leland, 20 — and Fraser's middle child Holden, 21 — tend to stay out of the spotlight when it comes to their dad's public life, however they come out to support the actor in big moments, including when the star took home the Oscar for 'The Whale' in 2023.

"He's always been cool, but we're always going to rag on him at least a little," Leland told Entertainment Tonight on the award show's red carpet at the time.

Fraser also acknowledged his sons in his heartfelt acceptance speech as he took home Best Actor for his performance.

"It's been like I've been on a diving expedition to the bottom of the ocean, and the air on the line [has come from] some people in my life like my sons Holden and Leland and Griffin — I love you, Griffey," he said.

While the boys haven't set out for major Hollywood careers like their dad, Leland for his part, plays guitar in a band called Hunter Road. He is also a model along with Holden, who wasn't present for the premiere.

Griffin who has autism, has a major advocate in his dad as he's lent his talents to spreading awareness for special needs families. In 2024, Fraser produced a documentary 'Saving Superman' which followed highlighted a man's life on the spectrum in dedication to his son.

Fraser shares all three kids with ex-wife, Afton Smith, whom he was married to from 1998-2008.

Registered Dietitians Swear By This After-Dinner Drink for Better Digestion

Wed, 05/27/2026 - 1:25pm

When it comes to what you can drink after dinner, there are a lot of options out there (looking at you, nightcaps). But whether you’ve just had a big meal or simply want to wind down for bed, choosing something that supports digestion—as in, doesn't contain alcohol—is always a good idea.

“Drinking fluids after a meal can support normal digestion by helping move food through the gastrointestinal tract and supporting overall hydration status,” says Sandra Zhang, RDN, LDN, dietitian at the Frances Stern Nutrition Center at Tufts Medical Center. A warm drink in particular may be soothing, because it can make you feel less bloated, she adds. 

A good after-dinner drink can even indirectly support digestion by boosting your mental health, says Jessica Cording, RD, author of The Little Book of Game Changers. “For some people, the ritual of slowing down and sipping something warm after a meal may help activate the body’s ‘rest and digest’ response, which can support more comfortable digestion,” she tells Parade

Knowing that you plan to sip on a drink after dinner may even lower the risk you’ll overeat, since you’ll want to avoid feeling overly full, according to Sonya Angelone, PhD, RDN, a nutritionist and registered dietitian based in San Francisco.

While you can technically rely on any beverage to help you relax and digest after dinner, there’s one in particular that dietitians say can be helpful. Here’s why.

The After-Dinner Drink That Supports Digestion

It’s peppermint tea. “Peppermint tea is often used to support digestion because peppermint contains compounds that may help relax the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract,” Cording explains. “Also, since it’s naturally caffeine-free, enjoying it after an evening meal won’t mess with sleep.”

Research has shown peppermint oil may help relieve symptoms of IBS, particularly bloating and abdominal discomfort, which is why peppermint is often associated with digestive support,” Zhang tells Parade.

Peppermint tea is less concentrated than peppermint oil, but Zhang says that many people find it to be “soothing” after meals.  

This drink can also tamp down on nausea or stomach upset, especially after a heavy meal, Angelone says.

4 Perks of Peppermint Tea

Peppermint tea offers plenty of benefits to consider. 

  1. It eases nausea. “Peppermint has traditionally been used to help relieve mild nausea and stomach discomfort,” Zhang says. “Some studies suggest peppermint aroma or peppermint-containing products may reduce nausea symptoms in certain settings.”
  2. It’s calming. “Sipping a warm beverage like tea can promote relaxation,” Angelone explains. “The cooling sensation of the mint can be calming and refreshing. “
  3. It’s hydrating. Peppermint tea counts toward your daily hydration goals. “Adequate hydration is important for good digestion,” Angelone tells Parade. “Fluid helps to soften stool and move it through the gastrointestinal tract.”
  4. It relaxes your intestines. Peppermint tea contains menthol, which can help to relax the smooth muscles in the digestive tract, Zhang says, adding, ”That may reduce cramping, bloating or that overly full feeling after meals."
Peppermint Tea Isn’t a Good Fit for Everyone, Though

While many people find this tea soothing, it’s not for everyone.

“People with gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD) may find that peppermint tea triggers symptoms,” Cording says. Those can include heartburn, nausea and hoarseness, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK).

Angelone also flags this as something to keep in mind. “It relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter and may contribute to reflux in certain sensitive people,” she says. “The relaxed sphincter may allow some acid reflux into the esophagus.”

Other After-Dinner Drinks to Try

Dietitians have a few other suggestions if you like the idea of sipping on an after-dinner drink, but don’t think peppermint tea is your thing. “Warm, caffeine-free beverages are often a good place to start, especially in the evening, as they can support hydration and won’t mess with sleep,” Cording says. 

Fellow teas like ginger, fennel and chamomile may also support digestion, she adds. 

Angelone also suggests considering adding bitters to a drink. “Bitters are an herbal blend made from bitter-tasting herbs that stimulate saliva production, increase stomach acid and digestive enzymes,” she explains. “Some people find sipping bitters before or after a meal reduces feelings of fullness or sluggish digestion.” (Just be aware that many types of bitters have an alcohol base, per Angelone. If you’re avoiding alcohol, there are non-alcoholic bitters that will give you the same effect.)

If digestive support is your goal, Cording suggests avoiding anything that will make you feel overly full or that contains a lot of added sugar. Beyond that, you have plenty to choose from.

I was trying to rearrange a small living room the other day and kept running into the same problem. Every table I liked either took up too much space or felt like it did not really fit the room. That is when I started looking for simple, flexible furniture that can be moved around easily and tucked away when not needed. I stumbled on this brand-new IKEA find in my research, and it really is the perfect accent table.

The new IKEA PS 2026 side table is a foldable table designed to give you extra surface space when you need it and disappear when you do not. The design is simple, light, and meant for everyday use in small or flexible spaces. I'm obsessed.

Not everyone can book a week in a tropical paradise, but that doesn't mean your backyard or local beach can't look the part.

Wherever you decide to set it up, expect this umbrella to instantly make your space feel more fun and ready for summer.

The canopy offers solid sun protection. It can tilt 30 degrees left or right, so you can keep the shade exactly where you want it instead of constantly moving your chair around.

'Summer House' Fans Had Some Jaw-Dropping Things To Say About the Ciara-Amanda-West Reunion Fallout

Wed, 05/27/2026 - 1:12pm

It's all fun and games in the Hamptons until your BFF starts dating the guy you're still quasi-in-love with. Things got more than messy when the Summer House cast reunited for the Season 10 reunion special. While fans generally expect plenty of reality TV drama from this type of event, the Ciara-Amanda-West love triangle took the show to a whole new level. 

By now, viewers already know that after Season 10 ended, Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke made the difficult decision to part ways. The pair announced their divorce in January 2026. But it didn’t seem to take long for Batula to bounce back. In a joint statement (posted to Instagram Stories last March), Amanda and co-star West Wilson revealed that they are indeed dating. And that left Cooke, as well as castmate Ciara Miller (who previously dated Wilson), with some pretty strong feelings.

SUMMER HOUSE -- "Reunion" -- Pictured: (l-r) Lindsay Hubbard, Kyle Cooke, Ciara Miller, Andy Cohen, Amanda Batula, West Wilson -- (Photo by: Jocelyn Prescod/Bravo via Getty Images) What Happened on the ‘Summer House’ Season 10 Reunion?

Maybe the better question is, what didn’t happen on the Summer House Season 10 reunion? Before the cast sat down with Bravo’s Andy Cohenfor a debrief of sorts, cameras caught the real-time reactions of Cooke, Lindsay Hubbard, Carl Radke, Jesse Solomon, and Mia Calabrese as they read Batula and Wilson’s stunning Instagram statement. 

It didn’t take much time for things to heat up. Amanda started by saying, “I’m prepared to own up to what I’ve done, take accountability, apologize. Especially to Ciara and Kyle.” As expected, Ciara didn’t blindly accept the apology and move on—calling Batula a “snake in the grass” (among other things). 

What Did Fans Think of the ‘Summer House’ Season 10 Reunion Part 1?

Ciara isn’t the only one who is voicing their opinion. Fans took to social media, reacting to the love triangle (or, if you add in Kyle, maybe a square?) and so much more. So what were some of the best/worst reactions? 

The Summer House Bravo subreddit overflowed with juicy morsels that go well beyond basic comments. To start with, one user wrote, in a statement that Ciara might just agree with, “Amanda is a parasite. She sucks the life of everyone on the show. Especially if it’s a man.” Ouch! Other redditors phrased their critiques in a more constructive way, “I think Amanda and West just need to come out with the truth. Everyone knows they’re lying and it honestly makes everything worse, because you’re not only shady, bad friends, etc., you’re now also labeled a liar.”

The reactions didn’t end there. Other redditors posted dramatically harsh criticisms of Batula, such as, “I’m 20 minutes into Reunion part 1, and my blood is already boiling”, “Amanda is such an energy vampire and takes on the persona of whatever host she’s attached herself to”, and “I’m honestly shocked at how unprepared Amanda and West came into this.” Yikes!

Summer House viewers didn’t just blast Amanda in the comments. Some took another approach, with one writing (of Ciara), “It’s heartbreaking that this sweet soul who has championed so many people on this show for years was basically portrayed as an idiot who went after a terrible man after the scandal came out.” 

Some fans also doubted whether the reality TV series is in fact real: “Not gonna lie, some of this feels scripted and staged…Seems like a ploy to gain ratings, fame, and a new show since they knew their marriage was already over. Why not make money/fame out of it.”

Even though tensions are high right now, things will blow over. Tom Sandoval weathered Scandoval, and Amanda will get through this, too. After all, it comes with the reality TV territory. Whether you’re Team Amanda or not, there are still two more parts to this reunion special. And we’re guessing that the cast (and fans) will have plenty more to say about the Season 10 drama. 

Patriots Coach Mike Vrabel Speaks About His Wife and Kids After Dianna Russini Scandal

Wed, 05/27/2026 - 1:09pm

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel is opening up to the press about balancing family and football.

Vrabel, 50, who played for the NFL for 14 seasons and rose to stardom as a linebacker for the Pats, spoke to the press just two months after breaking his silence on the photo scandal involving former Athletic reporter Dianna Russini. When asked by a reporter about work/life balance, Vrabel expressed his love for his wife and his sons, Tyler and Carter.

“My family is great,” Vrabel told the group. “I love Jen. I love the boys. I love my personal friends.”

Check out the video of Vrabel's discussion with the media below:

Vrabel Opened Up About the Dianna Russini Scandal

Last month, Vrabel spoke to the press about the uproar surrounding the scandal involving him and Dianna Russini for the first time in a video obtained by WBZ‘s Dan Roche.

“I understand I could have addressed you sooner, but it was important to me I have a conversation with the players, which I did yesterday very candidly,” Vrabel shared during a pre-NFL draft press conference at Gillette Stadium, noting that he had “some difficult conversations” with people he “care[s] about.”

Including discussions with his “family,” as well as the Patriots organization, Vrabel said the talks were “positive and productive.”

“We believe in order to be successful, you have to make good decisions,” he said. “That starts with me. You never want your actions to negatively affect the team … or be the cause of a distraction.”

Sharing that he’s “excited” to coach the team with “humility and focus,” Vrabel leaned in hard when emphasizing how much he cares about coaching the Patriots. He also noted that he’s kept some questions and comments from the team private.

“What I can promise you is my family, this organization, this team, the staff, the coaches, and the fans, most importantly, will get the best version of me going forward,” he stated.

'70s Rock Legend and Founding Member of Iconic Band Turns 69

Wed, 05/27/2026 - 1:00pm

Siouxsie Sioux, the music legend who cemented her fame in the industry during the late 1970s as a defining figure of the post-punk movement, is being celebrated as she marks a personal milestone.

In honor of her 69th birthday, let's take a look into the colorful music career of the music legend and the iconic vocalist behind the rock band Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Born on May 27, 1957, the Kent native, whose real name is Susan Janet Ballion, began her music career after making her debut at London's legendary 100 Club Punk Special.

The singer, who was then 19 years old, was accidentally discovered after she and her friend and bandmate Steven Severin asked the manager if they could fill in the spot after a band dropped out at the last minute.

With her eclectic gothic-inspired and avant-garde look, which became her signature style, accompanied by her commanding and powerful vocals, the band, initially named Siouxsie and the Banshees, stood out, making this their first performance.

“It was very impromptu,” the female vocalist told Magnet Magazine, in reference to their first performance and opening for the Sex Pistols. “The band was formed just for that one gig. That was it. Fifteen or 20 minutes, that was all the future that I saw. But it’s gone on for quite a long time.”

Instead of a one-off performance, they took music seriously, prompting them to spend two years writing music.

In 1978, they released their first official studio album, The Scream, under Polydor Records with Sioux on lead vocals, Severin on bass guitar, John McKay on guitar and saxophone and Kenny Morris on drums and percussion as the original lineup.

Their biggest hit, "Hong Kong Garden," reached No. 7 on the UK Singles Chart, but it was the track “Jigsaw Feeling” that was considered a massive fan favorite despite not realizing commercial success.

Following the band’s gothic peak in 1981 and after a few changes in the lineup, along with the release of 11 albums, Sioux went solo in the early 2000s.

Kicking off her new path, she embarked on a sold-out solo tour titled Dreamshow in 2004, followed by the release of her debut album Mantaray in 2007.

From then on, she continued to build her legacy, highlighted by her highest-charting song "Into a Swan,” peaking at No. 19 on the UK Physical Singles Chart, as well as her iconic 2013 collaboration with John Lennon’s second wife, Yoko Ono at the Meltdown Festival.

Walmart's $58 Storage Shed Can Be Built Without Tools and 'Stops the Backyard From Becoming Too Crowded'

Wed, 05/27/2026 - 12:59pm

Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.

If the start of the summer season has led to an explosion of pool toys and garden tools all over your deck or your backyard is overflowing with lawn care equipment, a storage shed can be a handy way to keep everything organized. It's also helpful to have when the weather turns rainy or snowy to keep all of your outdoor gear protected. But permanent structures can be cumbersome to build and take up precious space — plus, most cost hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.  

Finding an affordable storage shed that's easy to set up and doesn't take up too much room can feel nearly impossible. That's why we're so excited to see this under-$60 option at Walmart. For just $58, the Vineego Outdoor Storage Shed is a fantastic choice with a lightweight design that doesn't require tools to put together. It can give all of your outdoor gear a designated home to keep your yard, deck, or balcony clutter-free.

Measuring 3 feet wide, 6 feet long, and 5 feet tall, this storage shed is perfectly sized for storing everything from lawn mowers and snow blowers to rakes and shovels. Aside from the price point, what sets this storage shed apart from other options is its tent-like design. Instead of heavy metal or wood panels, the sides are made of a thick, durable canvas tarp that buckles into place over the aluminum frame. 

The canvas exterior is waterproof and features a UV-protectant coating, which should keep the material in great shape for years to come. Shoppers loved that there were "no tools needed" to set it up, and said that the result is a "sturdy" structure that keeps whatever you place inside protected from the elements.

One person also shared that the design is compact enough to use as "balcony storage for beach gear." 

Customers said they appreciated how it's "easy to move" around the yard or take down completely whenever it's not needed. One shopper called it "the smartest buy ever," while another shared that it offered "excellent" value as an outdoor storage solution.

Jennifer Lopez Reunites With 'Selena' Family Patriarch in Emotional Red Carpet Moment

Wed, 05/27/2026 - 12:58pm

One of Jennifer Lopez's most iconic roles was playing the "Queen of Tejano Music" Selena Quintanilla, in the 1997 biopic. Decades later, Lopez has reunited with her on-screen father, Edward James Olmos, for Netflix's Office Romance.

Everyone knows the story of Selena, the singer-songwriter who was killed at the height of her career at the age of 23. Lopez played the singer in Selena, which cemented the start of her acting career in Hollywood. Joining her was Olmos, who played the family patriarch Abraham Quintanilla Jr. Now, 29 years after the two shared the screen, the actors once again play father and daughter in Office Romance.

In a video by Entertainment Weekly, Lopez was over the moon reuniting with Olmos on the Netflix red carpet for their newest film. The actor and singer couldn't help but look back at when they first walked the carpet together for Selena and striking a similar pose with the cast.

"I’ll tell you what happened. We were standing on the carpet just a few minutes ago," Lopez told Entertainment Weekly. "I was standing with him, and I remember taking the cast photo with Selena and I said, ‘Oh my God, do you remember when we did this years ago?’ and he goes ‘I remember it well!'"

The two actors have been apart for some time and relished the emotional nostalgia of working together again. Lopez adds that Olmos said, "‘I’m so proud to be here with you.’ I said, ‘I love you so much, thank you.'" She admits that they didn't know whether Olmos would be willing to accept the role, seeing as he's only done a handful of projects over the years. In the end, Lopez was "so glad" and "really excited" when he agreed.

View this post on Instagram

"What a beautiful full circle moment. I can't wait too see this rom com! Congratulations @jlo and all the Cast & Crew!" said a fan on Instagram.

Another fan remembered his own interaction with Olmos, saying, "I was a Production assistant with Edward James Olmos in 2000 he was so nice and amazing, I took a poloroid picture I have with him and he signed it and Selena movie came out 1997 and it was so real. @jlo I was like omg my first PA job and Edward was in the movie and I just moved to LA in 2000!"

Office Romance stars Lopez as Jackie, the President and CEO of Air Cruz. She runs her company with a firm hand, especially when it comes to her "no fraternization" rule among employees. Things take a turn when a sexy new lawyer has her questioning her own attraction and policy.

After the Success of ‘Heated Rivalry,’ Canadian Network Crave Has Found Its Next Romance Novel To Adapt

Wed, 05/27/2026 - 12:49pm

After the success of the Heated Rivalry adaptation, Canadian network, Crave, has looked at what could have made it get so much attention. The reason? The smut!

Because of that, the Bell Media-owned network has optioned another romance novel. This time, Crave is going for a dark romance, optioning Five Brothers by Penelope Douglas. The plan is to create it into a multi-season series.

Five Brothers was released in 2024, and it is something Douglas immediately connected to as she developed the storyline. As you would expect based on the title, it’s a story that follows one woman’s journey into understanding and learning the secrets of the five Jaeger brothers.

The eldest is Macon, an ex-Marine. Then there is Army, a single dad who doesn’t even know if he is a Jaeger brother or not. Iron is the middle brother, and the blurb tells us that he’ll be in prison soon, and then Dallas is the one the lead female character hates.

Finally, there’s Trace, a man who is this woman’s favorite but who can’t be tamed for too long. He’s the one this woman is sure didn’t hold her tightly one night when she was crying. Something happened that night, and she has to figure out which of the five brothers it was.

Despite Crave planning on a multi-season storyline, there is only one book by Douglas. This could lead to a problem similar to The Handmaid’s Tale.

When mentioning the reason for the development of Five Brothers, Carlyn Klebuc, the general manager for original programming at Bell Media, said that, “Heated Rivalry proved there is global appetite for sexy, sophisticated, and mainstream romance stories. With complex lead characters, a boundary-pushing story, and a built-in audience, we’re excited to develop Crave’s next big swing in the romance genre.”

The wait for Heated Rivalry Season 2 also continues. The series has been renewed, and it is expected to arrive on Crave in 2027. There’s no word on when Five Brothers could arrive, as that is still in the planning stage.

Wagner Honored His Former Wife, Natalie Wood

Back in July, Wagner took to social media to share a throwback photo of himself and his former wife, Natalie Wood, who died at the age of 43 in 1981. The touching share was posted in honor of what would’ve been their 53rd wedding anniversary,

"Always a special place in my heart. Happy Anniversary Nat! More Than Love," Wagner captioned the photo of himself and Wood, tagging the couple's children.

View this post on Instagram How Did Natalie Wood Die?

Wood died on a boat trip to California’s Catalina Island. Her death was initially ruled an “accidental drowning,” PEOPLE shared. In a press conference, L.A. coroner, Dr. Thomas Noguchi, concluded that after accidentally falling into the water, Wood had attempted to board a dinghy, Vanity Fair reported. This is based on fingernail scratch marks on the inflatable boat’s side. Noguchi shared that he believed Wood had clung onto its side, but was weighed down by the heavy parka she was wearing, and couldn't pull herself up from the water.

While some assumed Wagner was involved, Wood's daughter, Natasha Gregson Wagner, shared in her 2020 documentary, Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind, why she believes Wagner wasn't involved in her mother’s death.

“It’s outrageous and completely unacceptable that others have created this narrative about my dad and the night my mom died,” Natasha said, PEOPLE reported. “I know that if my mom had been in any kind of distress, he would have given his life for her. I know that as well as I know my name.”

1970 Rock Classic Is Suddenly Climbing the Charts 56 Years Later

Wed, 05/27/2026 - 12:37pm

In 1970, Creedence Clearwater Revival released “Have You Ever Seen the Rain,” a song that would eventually become one of the most enduring classics in rock history.

More than 55 years later, the iconic track is climbing the charts again.

This week, the song reentered Billboard’s Rock Streaming Songs chart at No. 24 and earned a “Gains in Performance” designation from Billboard. “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” has now spent 145 total weeks on the chart and previously climbed as high as No. 11.

The track also remains Creedence Clearwater Revival’s most-streamed song on Spotify, where it has now surpassed 2.4 billion streams. “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” currently ranks ahead of other CCR staples including “Fortunate Son,” “Bad Moon Rising” and “Proud Mary.”

Released from the band’s Pendulum album in December 1970, the song became one of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s biggest hits, eventually reaching No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping charts around the world during its original run.

Though listeners have long debated the meaning behind the song, John Fogerty has repeatedly said it was inspired by the growing tensions inside Creedence Clearwater Revival as the band began falling apart.

Speaking on The Howard Stern Show in 2015, Fogerty said he “perceived all the tension” inside the group and felt “it was breaking up.”

“The metaphor of course, you know, of seeing rain come down from a clear sunny day,” Fogerty explained. “Here we were achieving all our dreams … instead of being happy, we seemed to be miserable.”

Fogerty revisited the song again during a 2025 appearance on The Zach Sang Show, where he said, “I literally wrote that song because my band was breaking up.”

He added that the image of rain falling from a bright blue sky perfectly captured the emotional contradiction the band was experiencing at the height of its success.

Despite the sadness surrounding the song’s origins, Fogerty said its meaning eventually evolved for him over time through performing it live for audiences and associating it with his daughter Kelsy.

Over the decades, “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” has become one of rock music’s most recognizable songs, appearing in movies, television shows and streaming playlists while continuing to attract new generations of listeners.

The track has also been covered by numerous artists over the years, including Bonnie Tyler, Rod Stewart, Willie Nelson and Joan Jett, and it has been used in such movies and TV shows as Fire Country, Parenthood, Dexter, Philadelphia, The Longest Yard and dozens more.

Creedence Clearwater Revival itself remains one of the most influential American rock bands of all time. Between 1969 and 1971, the group released an astonishing run of hits including “Bad Moon Rising,” “Down on the Corner,” “Fortunate Son” and “Proud Mary.”

More than five decades after its release, “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” is still finding new life on the charts, proving some classic songs never really fade away.

Chart-Topping ’90s Country Group Announces Exciting 20th Anniversary Tour

Wed, 05/27/2026 - 12:35pm

The Chicks are making a return to the stage.

One of the most influential country acts of their era announced their 20th anniversary tour on Wednesday, May 27.

"Taking The Long Way 20th Anniversary Tour announced!" the Instagram post read, while also revealing a list of U.S. dates this fall.

The country trio, consisting of Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire and Emily Strayer, will embark on the intimate run to celebrate their Grammy-winning 2006 album of the same name.

"Still not ready to make nice," the post expressed.

The tour will kick off on Sept. 30 at the Fox Theatre in Detroit, with stops including two nights in Chicago, New York, Seattle, San Francisco, and more. It will conclude on Nov. 2 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

The artist pre-sale begins on Wednesday, June 3, at 10 am local time, with fans able to sign up via the website.

While The Chicks (formerly known as The Dixie Chicks) have performed one-off dates and sporadic shows at smaller venues—with two summer shows in California previously announced—this marks a return to a larger-scale show.

It's also nostalgia-driven, as it will celebrate 20 years since the release of their album, which featured their highest-charting Billboard Hot 100 hit, which peaked at No. 4, "Not Ready to Make Nice."

The album also won plenty of accolades, taking home Album of the Year and Best Country Album at the 2007 Grammy Awards, along with Best Country Performance for a Duo or Group.

It was an extension of the trio's reputation for challenging industry and public norms and expectations, released a few years after Maines saw backlash for criticizing the Iraq War and then-President George W. Bush during a concert in March 2003. “Just so you know, we're on the good side with y'all. We do not want this war, this violence. And we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas," she said.

The song served as a defiant response, adressing the controversy head-on through the lyrics with themes of not backing down and refusing to be silenced or forced to apologize, turning a career-threatening moment into a statement about artistic freedom and standing by your beliefs. 

Currently, Maines and the White House are at war of words, after the outspoken singer criticized President Donald Trump, writing, "Our democracy is disappearing right before our eyes. This fugly sl—t is using your gas money to pay the insurrectionists."

The White House hit back, expressing, "Natalie Maines is a despicable nobody who clearly suffers from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted her peanut-sized brain."

Fans were thrilled by the tour news, as one wrote, "Life is worth living," while Michelle Branch added, "Ahhhhhhhhhh! 👏🔥."

"an album called ‘still not ready to make nice’ would EAT," another fan suggested.

Bruce Willis' Wife Shares New Update Amid Actor’s Ongoing Health Struggles

Wed, 05/27/2026 - 12:29pm

Bruce Willis is doing okay.

The Die Hard star was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in 2023, and the disease has progressed over the past few years. On Wednesday, May 27, Willis' wife, Emma Heming Willis, appeared on Today to discuss brain health. During the interview, Heming Willis shared an update on her famous husband, who lives his life completely out of the spotlight.

"You know, we're doing well,” she told Today anchor Savannah Guthrie. "My husband is supported and loved and we're doing the best we can under the circumstances."

After becoming a caretaker for her husband, Heming Willis got inspired to bring awareness to people who are in that role.

“What I've learned is that it's so important to care for ourselves and if we're not caring for ourselves, how can we care for the people that we love in our lives? So it's really important to prioritize our health, to prioritize our brain health,” she said. “There's actually actionable things we can do today to support our brain tomorrow."

Heming Willis released a book and even started a wellness brand—Make Time Wellness—as part of her journey through the unknown.

Willis, who lives in a private home with the round-the-clock care, celebrated his 71st birthday in March. Since he's no longer acting and stays out of the public eye, fans are often curious about how he's doing and they appreciate updates on his health and well-being.

Neal McDonough Reveals Hollywood's Label of Being a 'Religious Nut Bag' Cost Him His Career

Wed, 05/27/2026 - 12:27pm

Neal McDonough is one of those Hollywood actors that fans can easily recognize, but largely because of his supporting roles on TV and film. The actor opened up about the reality of his career that hit the fan early on due to his setting boundaries and Hollywood's labeling of him.

The 60-year-old actor spoke with Fox News Digital about his new role in the Jimmy Stewart biopic, as well as the dark moments of his life as an actor. For years, many fans knew that the actor was reportedly "blacklisted" by Hollywood for his No. 1 rule of refusing to take on characters and scenes that involve kissing another woman. It was in respect for his wife, Ruve, but it ultimately led him to take on lesser roles.

“What time is the bar open? That was generally my thought process back then,” he explained. “It was, you know, fired from a show because I wouldn’t kiss a woman. No one would hire me because they thought I was this religious nut bag, which is that I love my wife so much. And no one can understand it, no one could understand it.”

The actor reveals that he was a heavy drinker, but things became a "bad problem" when he was shunned by Hollywood over refusing to kiss a co-star. As a result, McDonough and his family had lost everything from their house to their cars.

Justified was just coming out, but I still didn’t think I was worth anything because I failed my family. I failed, [my wife] Ruve, my five kids, that I lost our house. I lost all the beautiful things that were the shiny widgets that I had accumulated, were all taken away from me. And that crucifixion caused me so much inner pain because I made it all about me. How could I let the team down?" said the actor.

Justified was a 2010 Western series starring Timothy Olyphant and premiered on FX. McDonough played a supporting role as the character Robert Quarles in Season 3 of the series, with it later cancelled after its sixth season. The actor admitted that during the hard time, his friend and the late actor Luke Perry took him and his family into his own home.

While having been labeled by Hollywood, McDonough has still kept up a long filmography of TV and film roles. He starred as Sean Cahill in Suits and appeared as a recurring character in Arrow and the CW's other superhero series. He also starred in 9-1-1- Lone Ranger, Yellowstone, and Sylvester Stallone's Tulsa King. In film, he played recent roles in The Last Rodeo and will star in KJ Apa's Jimmy.

Joy Behar Announces Sudden Break From 'The View'

Wed, 05/27/2026 - 12:14pm

Joy Behar fans may notice a familiar face missing from the Hot Topics table for the next few weeks.

During a recent episode of The View’s“Behind the Table” podcast, the longtime cohost revealed she’ll be stepping away from the talk show for an extended hiatus—though thankfully, it’s not for any alarming reason.

“This is your last podcast for a little bit, because next week you're not going to be here,” producer Brian Teta told Behar during the episode. The 83-year-old quickly joked back, “Well, they made me bank the weekend shows even though I'm not here.”

Behar explained that she’s heading overseas to bring her stage play, My First Ex-Husband, to audiences in Paris and London following its New York City run.

“I fly to Paris this week, and then I go take the tunnel to London after a week, and I'll be in London a second week doing my play, My First Ex-Husband, at the Boulevard Theatre in the West End,” she shared. “We have Jackie Hoffman and I [playing] the two American women talking, then we have two British actresses. Doesn't that sound like fun?”

While Behar is away, several guest hosts will temporarily fill her seat at the table. Teta confirmed that Sheryl Underwood will appear for two episodes, while journalist Kara Swisher and cohost Ana Navarro will also step in throughout the hiatus. In a rare twist, even moderator Whoopi Goldberg is reportedly giving up some of her usual Fridays off to help cover the schedule.

The brief exit comes just days after Behar made headlines for revealing her take on cosmetic procedures, revealing the ones she had done over the years in the process. The comedian openly admitted on “Behind the Table” that she’s used Botox and fillers to maintain her appearance on camera. “I tell everybody I have Botox. I do work on myself,” Behar said, adding that she’s also used “Restylane to fill in certain spots” on her face.

Behar joked that while experts often recommend healthy eating and exercise as the key to aging well, she’s not exactly following that advice. “They say things like, of course you have to eat healthy, which I don’t, they say you have to exercise, which I don’t,” she quipped. 

Still, there’s one rumor she insists is completely false: “Everybody thinks I’ve had a facelift. I have not had a facelift.”

Iconic Horror Classic Reboot Coming from the Director Who Made an $800 YouTube Movie

Wed, 05/27/2026 - 12:12pm

Two years ago, Curry Barker made a horror movie for $800. He shot it himself, cast his comedy partner, and put it on YouTube for free. That film, Milk & Serial, racked up 2.4 million views and got him signed by UTA. Now, the 26-year-old filmmaker from Mobile, Alabama is responsible for one of the genuine surprise stories of the 2026 box office.

It's just been announced A24 has tapped Barker to reimagine The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, one of the genre's most storied properties. How exactly did he get here?

Obsession, Barker's first theatrically released film, opened May 15 to a $17.2 million domestic debut, more than double what analysts had projected. The supernatural horror follows Bear, a music store employee who breaks a toy called 'One Wish Willow' to make his longtime crush fall in love with him, only to discover that some wishes carry a very dark price. Made for $1 million and acquired by Focus Features for roughly $14 million after its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, the film became the highest-grossing genre acquisition in TIFF history.

What happened in week two was even more remarkable. Instead of the usual horror drop, Obsessionsurged 26 percent over this past Memorial Day weekend, one of the smallest second-weekend declines in domestic box office history, across any genre. The film also topped the weekday charts Monday through Wednesday after opening weekend, making it the cheapest movie to lead the box office since Paranormal Activity in 2009. Its global total now stands north of $60 million on that $1 million budget.

Critics have been just as enthusiastic as audiences. Obsession holds a 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes alongside a rare A- CinemaScore, the same grade Get Out earned. Barker has spoken openly about his debt to Jordan Peele, describing the comedian-to-horror pipeline as a natural one. 'There's a darkness in comedy,' he told Rotten Tomatoes. 'As a comedian, you're constantly studying the human condition. Those skills lend themselves really well to horror.'

The path that brought Barker here started on a sketch comedy YouTube channel he shares with collaborator Cooper Tomlinson called 'That's a Bad Idea,' which has accumulated over 700 million views across platforms. Their $800 found footage feature, Milk & Serial, caught the attention of horror fans and industry figures alike, and eventually landed Barker meetings with every major horror producer in town. Jason Blum was watching too. Blumhouse got Obsession before its TIFF debut, signing on for Barker's follow-up, Anything but Ghosts, before a single critic had seen his first theatrical film.

That level of genre success has given Barker the keys to one of the most iconic properties in horror history.

Obsession is currently playing in theaters.

Star of 1995 No. 1 Hit Film Fought to Save an Iconic ‘Brady Bunch’ Moment

Wed, 05/27/2026 - 12:10pm

Christine Taylor opened up about her breakout role in The Brady Bunch Movie. The 1995 comedy film, based on Sherwood Schwartz’s classic 1970s sitcom, featured Taylor in the role of Marcia Brady, transported into the grunge era. The role was originally played by Maureen McCormick on the TV series.

The Brady Bunch Movie was Taylor’s first big movie role, but she unknowingly prepared for it years earlier. During a May 2026 appearance on The McBride Rewind, Taylor, 54, revealed she was a “huge” Brady Bunch fan growing up and watched episodes every day after school.

 “I started to, I think, craft my Maureen McCormick/Marcia Brady impression at a very young age without even knowing that there was a future to be had,” the actress shared. "I just loved her. I loved the show. I loved the episodes. I loved the dialogue. So it was taking shape in that way for me before I even really knew it. “

Taylor nailed McCormick’s mannerisms and dialect in the first Brady Bunch movie and helped make the film a box office smash when it was released over Presidents Day weekend in 1995. The parody film raked in nearly $15 million over its opening weekend and was No. 1 at the box office, The Los Angeles Times reported.

When it came time for a sequel in 1996, Taylor was adamant that her lines sounded exactly as McCormick would have said them in the 1970s.

“In A Very Brady Sequel, the line where I say, ‘I've never heard of a George Glass at our skewl,'" Taylor recalled. "Like the director stopped me and said, ‘Can you just say school? We don't know what you're saying. Can you just say school?’ And I said, 'No, I can't because Maureen McCormack said ‘skewl.’ Like she said skewl. It was a very specific way of saying it.' So I fought for those moments where I knew it was the way Maureen did it, and she did it so perfectly, and I needed to nail it, and I needed to nail it with love and with affection.”

Taylor also became known for her line “Sure, Jan,” which has become a viral meme decades later.

In the new interview, Taylor admitted The Brady Bunch Movie cast “had no idea the movie would be a success.”

“In fact, it was that feeling when you're in it, and everybody's finding these characters like not only is it going to be success but is this even going to be good?” she added. “We’re sort of like doing this Brady's set in the '90s. Is this too out there? Is it too weird? Are we pushing the envelope too much? Do people just want a simpler thing? But the whole time, the eye on the prize for me was just do it. It was all about just doing it, something that I felt like Maureen would be okay with and proud of and happy with.”

McCormick, 69, gave Taylor a thumbs-up for her portrayal of Marcia Brady. During a 2019 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, McCormick revealed she was invited to the premiere of the first Brady film and was blown away. “I was sitting in the theater, and a couple of times, I forgot that it was Christine,” The Brady Bunch star said of Taylor's performance.
