Jessa Duggar Releases New Statement on Joseph Duggar’s Arrest—and Takes Out Support for Wife Kendra
Jessa Duggar Seewald is speaking out for the second time after her brother Joseph Duggar was arrested.
On Mar. 18, Joseph was arrested and charged for Lewd and Lascivious Behavior, involving unlawful sexual activity with a minor. Two days later, Joseph and his wife Kendra were hit with additional child endangerment charges—unrelated to Joseph’s initial case.
Joseph entered a written plea of not guilty on Sunday, Mar. 29 and requested a jury trial. He was released from jail after posting a $600,000 bond on Tuesday, Mar. 31.
On Thursday, Apr. 2, Seewald posted a new statement on the allegations to her Instagram Story.
"We learned, along with the rest of the world, of the heartbreaking news involving my brother, Joseph, and we are deeply grieved," Seewald wrote. "Our hearts ache for this innocent young girl and the harm she has suffered. This is a profound wrong, and we know it grieves the heart of God, who cares deeply for children and the vulnerable. We are lifting her up in prayer, asking for comfort, healing, and justice."

The message is very similar to Seewald's original statement, which was posted on Mar. 20 before the child endangerment charges were filed.
“We learned of this saddening news along with the rest of the world on Wednesday, and we are in complete shock,” she wrote on her Instagram Story but later deleted. “Our hearts are grieving for this innocent young girl, and we know this is deeply grievous to God, who cares tenderly for children and the vulnerable. We are keeping her in our prayers.”
"As a family, we are pulling together to support Kendra and her kids during this difficult time," she added.
Most notably, Seewald's revised statement removed the line expressing support for Kendra and her four children. According to jail calls between Kendra and Joseph obtained by People, Kendra has lost custody of her children amid the ongoing child endangerment investigation.

"I think Friday has probably been my hardest day, but that's crazy to say because Wednesday was crazy hard," Kendra said to Joseph during a collect phone call from the Washington County Detention Facility on Mar. 24.
Friday was the day of Kendra's arrest while Wednesday was the day of Joseph's arrest.
"But it's just like, when you then take my babies from me, they were who I was just going to pour my life into," she continued.
In another call, Kendra told her husband that her number one priority is their children.
"I'm fighting for the kids and they're my number one priority right now," Kendra said, with Joseph replying that he is "100% behind" his wife and that she "should be fighting for them the most."

Anti-Histamines Weren't Working for My Husband's Seasonal Allergies — Now He Swears by This One Vitamin
I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that this spring and summer allergy season is set to be long and painful. Warmer temperatures across the nation mean plants are starting to grow earlier, increasing the time pollen can circulate in the air, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. Folks from Boise, Idaho, to Lakeland, Florida, are going to face super high pollen counts, which means allergies are about to wreak havoc. The good news is that there are solutions you can turn to for relief, such as common antihistamines like Zyrtec and Claritin.
An unfortunate reality, though, is that traditional over-the-counter medicines can actually stop working.
"With daily antihistamines, some patients develop tolerance over time and find they just stop working as well," Dr. Manan Shah, MD, a practicing ENT and allergist at Wyndly Health, tells Parade. "There's also research that shows that while antihistamines help with allergy symptoms, they can lead to weight gain, brain fog, fatigue, and even dementia."
"The issue is that antihistamines only manage symptoms," he continues. "They never address why your body is overreacting in the first place."
Unfortunately, my husband was one of those folks. In 2023, he found himself taking antihistamines daily with very little result. His eyes were constantly pooling, and I genuinely thought I was going to go mad with the constant sniffling. After getting fed up with it himself, he began researching and found a combination that promised to get the job done: turmeric, quercetin, and bromelain. With nothing to lose, he bought a bottle at our local Walgreens and began taking it daily.
It's been three years, and he hasn't touched an antihistamine since.

What Really Works for Allergies?You don't have to take my word for it. Shah explains that the combination naturally mimics what antihistamines do synthetically.
"Quercetin is a natural mast cell stabilizer—it helps prevent your cells from releasing histamine in the first place, which is actually working upstream of where most antihistamines kick in," he explains. "Turmeric's active compound, curcumin, is a potent anti-inflammatory, and since allergies are fundamentally an inflammatory response, that combination can be really effective for certain people."
And to be fair, it really isn't a cure-all for everyone.
"The reason it works dramatically for some and not others comes down to severity, individual biochemistry, and absorption—curcumin is notoriously hard for the body to absorb without black pepper or a fat source," he adds. "For someone with mild allergies and a lot of underlying inflammation, this combo might be a game-changer."

What Can You Do to Get Ahead of the 2026 Allergy Season?The truth is, learning what works for your body is key, and the timing of when you do it is everything.
"Whatever works for you—whether that's a quercetin supplement, a nasal steroid, or antihistamines—start it now, before peak season," advises Shah. "These all work best when they're already in your system before pollen counts spike. The biggest mistake I see is people waiting until they're miserable."
Shah also recommends layering treatments as well; adding things like nasal saline rinses and putting HEPA filters in the bedroom can help attack the issue from all angles. The truest solution, though, is slightly more involved.
"To fix the root cause, you need to use allergy immunotherapy. This treatment trains your body to stop having allergy symptoms when exposed to allergy triggers," he claims. "If you're someone who dreads allergy season every year, it's worth looking into immunotherapy. It's the only treatment that actually retrains your immune system to stop overreacting. Supplements and medications can cover up symptoms, but only immunotherapy can be a long-term fix."
70 Years Ago, CBS Made History With Two Legendary Soaps That Changed Daytime Television
On this day in 1956, CBS changed the landscape of daytime by premiering not one but two 30-minute soap operas.
As the World Turns and The Edge of Night debuted on April 2, 1956, taking soaps from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. They were each produced by Procter & Gamble Productions, allowing the company to insert its own products into the show for promotion.
These are the shows that created the soap landscape and the "stories" your grandma and mom still talk about today. Television networks then were a place for daytime series focused on legacy families, crazy twists and turns, and drama that kept fans tuning in five days a week.
The Edge of Night and As the World Turns were broadcast live for 30 minutes from 1956 to 1975, when both shows began taping. In December 1975, As the World Turns made history again by becoming the first-ever daytime drama to be an hour long, taking over The Edge of Night’s time slot when the show moved to ABC.
As the World Turns took place in Oakdale, Illinois, and focused on the Hughes family. Over the years, the Stewart, Lowell, Walsh, and Snyder families were added, but the Hughes clan remained the core of the soap.
Still miss it y'all. #AsTheWorldTurns https://t.co/I0EqEO1V3s
— Anthony D. Langford (@adlangford) April 2, 2026In fact, the first and last words spoken on the show were by a Hughes. “Good morning, dear," were the first words on As the World Turns, with Nancy Hughes (Helen Wagner) saying it to her husband Chris Hughes (Don MacLaughlin).
The final words in the series took place on September 17, 2010. Bob (Don Hastings), son of Chris and Nancy, uttered the word “Goodnight” before As the World Turns went dark.

Unfortunately, The Edge of Night didn’t have as long a run as As the World Turns. The show ran for over 20 years on CBS, then moved to ABC for 9 years, ending in 1984.
70 years ago today, Monday April 2, 1956, at 4:30pm ET, Procter and Gamble's THE EDGE OF NIGHT premiered on CBS. Critically acclaimed for its brilliantly crafted whodunits, created by accomplished mystery writer Irving Vendig and later penned by Henry Slesar. #EDGE 🏙️ pic.twitter.com/NkSoItWKps
— KingMinos777 (@KingMinos777) April 2, 2026In the beginning of its run, The Edge of Night was considered the Perry Mason of daytime, taking place a city in the Midwest called Monticello. The soap focused on attorney Mike Karr (Forrest Compton), his second wife, journalist Nancy Pollock Karr (Ann Flood), and their daughter, Lorrie (Linda Cook).
It was moved from CBS because the network expanded As the World Turns to an hour. CBS no longer had room for The Edge of Night due to local news coverage, so ABC picked it up.
Both soaps were trailblazers for the industry, proving that daytime dramas could make networks money. They paved the way for the days when soaps were all the rage on NBC, CBS, and ABC.

Sharon Stone Swears Hollywood Legend is 'The Best Kisser in the Business'
When it comes to the expression "Don't Kiss and Tell," don't count Sharon Stone as a fan. During a recent sit-down with Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM show, Andy Cohen Live, Stone and Cohen played a game of association, in which the Bravo producer would throw out a name, and the Basic Instinct star would say the first thought that came to her mind. While she had a quick answer for most of the actors named, she paused on Robert De Niro.
"Oh my God," she exclaimed. "He's the best kisser in the business." "Is he?" Cohen responded, sounding surprised. "He's the best kisser in the business?"
"He kissed me right out of my shoes," Stone confessed. "Really."
De Niro and Stone starred together in the 1995 film Casino, directed by Martin Scorsese. Stone played Ginger, a showgirl whom De Niro's character, Sam, marries. While their relationship is destructive and volatile, it's passionate until it ends with their mutual downfall.
Stone recalled that she and De Niro were filming a scene in which Ginger asked Sam for money. When he gave her $50, she persuaded him to give her more.
"Then I lean over, and I kiss him, and he really just knocked me out," she continued. "And Marty [Scorsese] cut, and he looks at us, and he goes, 'I think we got it, but would you guys like another one?' And we both looked at him and went, 'Yeah, I think maybe we need one more.'"
Stone won a Golden Globe for Best Actress for her performance and was also nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars. While the two never appeared in any other films together, working with the A-lister was a "dream come true" for the actress.
"I always wanted to work with Bob," she previously told Business Insider. "I had auditioned with him many times before Casino." However, she found herself feeling real anger during an especially tense scene that the two shared in the film.
"We're sitting across a table arguing and he says to me, 'You're a good actress, you know that?'" The Euphoria star said. "And I remember in that scene when he said it, how furious it made me because it was my dream to do it, and then he challenged me at the table. I remember thinking, 'Oh, buddy. Not today, pal.'"
Dolly Parton’s Pick for a Book She’d Bring to a Desert Island Isn’t Your Typical Beach Read
Dolly Parton reads around 50 books per year, and the country music legend is opening up about some of her favorite reads.
Parton, 80, may be known as a musical master thanks to her iconic songs like "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You," but she's also a voracious reader. Several years ago, the "Queen of Country" made an appearance on Jenna Bush Hager's podcast, Open Book With Jenna, and opened up about some of her favorite books. However, Parton's pick for the book she'd like to have with her if she found herself trapped on a desert island isn't your typical beach read.
"If you were deserted on a desert island, which book would you take with you?" Bush Hager asks Parton.
“I better take the Bible, 'cause if I’m stranded on an island, I figure I may not get off of there, and I might wanna do some crammin’,” Parton says in the response, laughing and smiling.
Check out the video below to hear about some of Parton's favorites, and the celebrity book club she follows diligently.
https://www.instagram.com/tv/By5WmDQhabs/?igshid=10i2busl2t7wa
While her pick may be unexpected, the Christian bible is actually the best-selling book of all time, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. It's safe to say that Parton isn't alone in her idea!
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library Just Expanded to IndianaThis week, Indiana first lady Maureen Braun announced that Dolly Parton's Imagination Library of Indiana will now be providing Indiana children under the age of 5 with free books each month, WTHR reported.
“Receiving books from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library fosters a love of reading and creates meaningful family memories to last a lifetime. Early childhood literacy has a profound impact on Hoosier kids as they grow, and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Indiana is helping to build strong foundations for young Hoosiers," Braun said.
On Wednesday, April 1, Braun shared in a video that the program, which mails age-appropriate books to children each month from birth to age 5 for free, is available in all of the state's 92 counties.

Five Below Just Gave the Humble Trash Can a Whimsical Floral Makeover, and It's Only $5
Here's my hot take on Five Below that absolutely no one asked for, but I'm sharing anyway: It manages to find the most basic, everyday items and give them a super-cute, "I need that now" spin. Do I need pickleball paddles when I don't play pickleball? No, but when Five Below makes them in a cottagecore print, now I'm invested in the sport. I don't make the rules; that's just how it is.
Now the retailer has done it again with what might be the most mundane item in any household—the garbage can. Any waste bin has just one job, right? That's to collect our trash until there's enough to haul it outside for the truck. It's not a houseware that needs to be pretty or frilly; its only real requirement is not to have holes in it so trash doesn't fall out. But Five Below thinks differently. In the humble garbage bin, I saw a blank canvas for something whimsical.

Printed Trash Can, $5 at Five BelowFive Below
How gorgeous is this printed trash can at Five Below? And, believe me, I can't believe I'm oohing and aahing over a waste bin. The pretty floral print is just so whimsical, I want one for every room in my house. Five Below is also selling the same bin in strawberry and teddy bear prints, if either is more your speed.

Now, I think it goes without saying that this isn't a kitchen trash receptacle—it isn't big enough to handle that job. But bathrooms, bedrooms or maybe a home office? Absolutely. It just adds a little bit of beauty where there might otherwise just be a cold, plain bin. And the fact that it's just $5 kind of adds to its allure.
Five Below has been positively killing it lately with super cute finds. There's a retro-inspired vinyl record player and a pink pop-up tent that's basically begging you to have backyard campouts. But some of my personal favorites include a foldable picnic table, perfect for enjoying a meal outside, and these flower-shaped glasses with a sort of nostalgic '60s vibe.
But, really, nothing is giving me heart eyes more than that printed floral trash can, and I'm going to scoop one up before they sell out.

Goo Goo Dolls Cancel 3rd Consecutive Concert After Lead Singer Receives Serious Health Diagnosis
The Goo Goo Dollsare dealing with a major interruption to their Canadian tour, as lead singer John Rzeznik has recently fallen ill.
The band has now canceled three concerts in a row, announcing on Thursday, April 2 that Rzeznik, 60, has been diagnosed with pneumonia.
In an Instagram post uploaded just hours before their concert in Hamilton, Ontario, the band announced, "With sorrow and gratitude, we must cancel tonight's show at TD Coliseum in Hamilton, ON, as John has been diagnosed with pneumonia." Fans with tickets to the show will be refunded "at the place of purchase."
According to the statement, the band still intends to resume the rest of their Canadian tour dates scheduled for the rest of the month, and they still "hope to see fans this Saturday in London, ON."
View this post on InstagramThursday night's show is the third consecutive concert to be cancelled by the "Iris" rockers, after they already called off their show on Monday, March 30, just hours before they were supposed to take the stage at GFL Memorial Gardens in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. They later canceled the following performance, which was scheduled to take place on Wednesday, April 1 in Oshawa, Ontario.
"Get better soon Johnny, your health is more important than anything else," one of Rzeznik's fans wrote on Instagram after Thursday's announcement, while several other users expressed hopes for a "speedy recovery."
"Although I’m absolutely gutted I hope John feels better," someone else commented.
Fans are still hoping that the band will be able to play their upcoming shows scheduled throughout the rest of the month, including this weekend's stop in London, Ontario. The group is also set to perform in Ottawa, Ontario on Monday, April 6, followed by more shows in other provinces like Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
In May, the band will be performing a five-night limited residency in Las Vegas, before kicking off their U.S. summer tour in July.

Nancy Guthrie Update: Former Prosecutor Highlights Key Detail After Family Is Cleared
Nancy Guthrie has been missing since Sunday, Feb. 1. And while Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has cleared the family, a former Orange County prosecutor is poking holes in that statement.
During a recent interview on Prof Jo Explains, Matt Murphy is offering insight into how investigators approach high-profile missing persons cases, explaining that detectives rarely rule anyone out entirely—even when law enforcement publicly clears family members. The perspective comes weeks after officials said Guthrie’s immediate relatives and their spouses were no longer considered suspects, adding important context to how such decisions are made behind the scenes.
"Nanos keeps coming out saying, you know, 'this person's been eliminated, that person's been eliminated. Contrary to popular belief, detectives don't eliminate anybody. The person with charging authority is not the booking officer that takes fingerprints. The person who charges is the prosecutor of the county," Murphy explained.
He went on to say that sometimes authorities will think they have a case figured out but then things take a turn and the case ends up being "totally different."
Nanos released a statement in an effort to stop the chatter about Guthrie's kids, namely her daughter Annie Guthrie and her husband, Tommaso Cioni, both of whom have been scrutinized by the public, with many blaming them for whatever might have happened to Nancy. Nanos clearly stated that the family were the victims in the case and that none of them were responsible for Nancy's disappearance.
Going into the third month of the investigation, Nancy's whereabouts are still unknown. Moreover, there has not been a suspect or suspects named in the case.

Inside the Case of Manuel Blanco Vela, the Spanish Tour Guide Convicted of Serial Sexual Assault
For the women who traveled abroad to Spain expecting an experience filled with memories, their reality was horrific and traumatizing, and it was all due to Manuel Blanco Vela.
The former Spanish tour guide was convicted of the sexual assault of three women, but his list of victims is thought to be much longer.
Gabrielle Vega made a brave decision in December 2017, when she decided to use social media to reveal that she was sexually assaulted four years earlier, in 2013, by Blanco Vela, who was her Spanish tour guide, according to PEOPLE.
What happened next is the last thing that Vega expected. Close to 10, even immediately reached out to Vega to share that they, too, had also been assaulted by Blanco Vela.
"When that show happened, a lot of people started reaching out to me," Vega said of her 2018 appearance on the now-defunct show Megyn Kelly Today in the 2025 Netflix docuseries The Predator of Seville. "My phone just started going off."
However, despite multiple women coming forward, Blanco Vela would not face punishment for the serial sexual assaults until over a decade later.
Language barriers and decisions against filing police reports led to ongoing delays in prosecuting Blanco Vela, whose case was initially investigated by Spain’s High Court, the Audiencia Nacional, back in May 2018.
Fast forward seven years, and in 2025, he was formally tried for the sexual assault of three American students: Vega, Hayley McAleese, and Carly Van Ostenbridge.
Per PEOPLE, Blanco Vela was convicted and sentenced to six years for the sexual assault of Vega and two and a half years for assaulting McAleese and Van Ostenbridge.
Unfortunately, despite the legal victory, Blanco Vela, who operated Discover Excursions in Seville, Spain, was released from custody merely a week after his sentencing.
He is currently free until his prison sentence is finalized, a decision made by the High Court because Blanco Vela was not considered a flight risk, agreed to passport confiscation, a travel ban, and weekly court appearances.
As he awaits being transported back to prison once his sentence is finalized, Blanco Vela has filed an appeal of his conviction.
If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available 24 hours a day through RAINN's National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673.
Bob Saget's Widow Kelly Rizzo Shares First DM He Sent Her Exactly 10 Years Ago
Kelly Rizzo first came into contact with Full House star Bob Saget a decade ago to the day.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the widow of the comedian shared a screenshot of a direct message exchange where Saget reached out to her on April 2, 2016, with an open invitation to one of his Chicago shows. The sweet communication ended with Saget mentioning he'd like to take her to dinner.
View this post on Instagram"10 years ago today, my life changed forever…Bob and I met the old fashioned way," she joked of him sliding into her DMs in the post's caption. "Bob and I shared this story publicly a ton and we always talked about his first message to me but I hadn’t gone back and actually seen it in years and years."
Rizzo couldn't help but admit that at the time she couldn't believe that Danny Tanner himself was reaching out to her.
"Even though, at the time, I was quite caught off guard… like 'What??? Bob Saget??'" she wrote.
Saget and Rizzo got married two years later in 2018 and were together until he unexpectedly died due to a fatal fall in January of 2022.
"God knows how grateful I am today that he messaged me and showed me what an incredible human he was and will forever be," she wrote. "The gratitude I feel for having him in my life is impossible to overstate. And also, thank you social media for making this possible!"
Sagets former co-stars, fellow comedians, and friends all took the comments, happy to see the message from their late pal.
"This is amazing," John Mayer wrote, while Full House co-star John Stamos echoed, "Amazing!"
Saget's onscreen daughter Candace Cameron Bure commented with laughing emojis while Full House regular Marla Sokoloff commented, "Oh I love this!!"
"That’s our Bob… smooth with it," added fellow comedian Loni Love. "Love you Kelly!!!!!"
Rizzo's post comes weeks after she candidly discussed the day that Saget died on her podcast, sharing minute-by-minute details of the hours after his death.

Poppi's New Berries & Cream Soda Flavor Offers the Perfect Start to Spring: 'I Need This'
Has there ever been a flavor combination more readily made for each other than berries and cream?
Taking that remarkably delicious formula and using it as the basis for its brand-new flavor, Poppi has officially unveiled a first look at their upcoming product innovation: Berries & Cream Prebiotic Soda.
In a press release shared with us by a spokesperson for the brand, Poppi shared that the new flavor serves as a unique combination between refreshing whipped cream and a medley of classic fruits and berries.
"Think juicy blackberry, raspberry, and blueberry layered with a smooth, sweet cream finish that tastes like a treat but isn’t," the press release said.
As the release indicated, the new Berries & Cream flavor offers the same comparatively healthy twist on traditional soda products. Like all of Poppi's regular and limited-time flavors, the new flavor specifically avoids the high sugar and calorie count of established soda brands, delivering the refreshing taste fans crave without all the harmful ingredients.
With just 5 grams of sugar and 3 grams of fiber, the new Poppi soda only has 35 calories attached to it, a significant drop from the 150 calories found in most other name brand sodas.
As delicious as the new drink might sound, it's worth pointing out that the new flavor is exclusively available at Sprouts Farmers Market starting today. However, Poppi also confirmed that the new soda will soon make its way to Kroger locations across the country in the immediate months ahead.
The ideal drink to enjoy for the spring season, most shoppers were quick to voice their approval for the brand-new flavor on Poppi's social media page.
"Okay so I need NOW," one fan wrote on Instagram.
"Can't wait to try!" added another user.
Referencing the viral Starburst ad for the Berries & Cream flavor, one user humorously chimed in, "THE LITTLE LADS AND LASSES ARE SCREAMING RIGHT NOW."
Costco's Ready-to-Heat Easter Dinner Kit Is Back for Stress-Free Hosting
Easter is only a few days away, and Costco shoppers have spotted a seasonal favorite that makes hosting almost too easy. The warehouse giant has quietly brought back a ready-to-heat Costco meal designed to simplify your Easter dinner without sacrificing flavor.
Costco's Easter dinner kit centers on a sliced honey-glazed ham, paired with Yukon Gold potatoes and fresh vegetables, creating a complete spring spread in one package.

Legendary '80s Band's Co-Founder Breaks His Silence on the Legal Battle He Says Has Gone 'Way Too Far'
Journey may be in the middle of their farewell tour, but for co-founder and guitarist Neal Schon, the road to peace has been extremely rocky.
For years, Schon and bandmate Jonathan Cain have been locked in a bitter ongoing dispute that has spilled into courtrooms, generated a steady stream of legal filings, and created an undeniably tense relationship within the iconic band.
The friction stems from a combination of financial disagreements and ideological differences—Schon has reportedly taken issue with Cain's vocal support forDonald Trump, right-wing causes, and Evangelical Christianity. Despite all of it, the two have continued performing together, keeping the drama firmly offstage.
Schon opened up about the situation in an interview with Rolling Stone shared on Tuesday, March 31. "I feel like I get one [lawsuit] served every week from his camp," he said. "It's like, 'Jesus Christ!' And learned to defend myself, really…I remember every aspect of everything that's gone down. I've been sober for 18 years completely, and my memory is sharp. I know everything about every Journey contract, every LLC, every corporation. So I feel very confident about being able to stand up to anything that I need to."
But more than anything, Schon, 72, sounded exhausted by it all. "I hate all these attorneys. It's so nuts," he said. "There's just so much ongoing noise. And I just want some f**king peace, for real. I'm just really tired of all the legal [battles]. It's meaningless to me. I don't have any time for it."

But what keeps him going is the music and the fans. "The music we've created together is amazing," Schon said. "And so, you have to celebrate that music with the fans. The fans are incredible. When I'm onstage, I don't think about any of [the drama]."
The band’s tensions aren't limited to the Cain dispute, either. Schon recently found himself at the center of a separate fan debate after sharing a lengthy tribute to Journey's five-decade history on Facebook. While the post was largely grateful in tone, fans noticed how Schon chose to reference iconic former lead singer Steve Perry. Schon credited Perry's "vocals and songwriting" with helping shape "a body of work that continues to resonate across generations," describing that chapter as "one of the most defining" in the band's history.
But for many fans, that wasn’t enough. "Without Steve Perry, Journey is nothing," one fan wrote. "Even Neal knows this, which is why he went out and got someone that sounds like Steve Perry. Every single Journey hit I know of was sung by Mr Perry. Without Steve Perry singing, it's just a cover band singing Journey songs." Another was equally blunt, telling Schon to "get a reality check" and adding, "Steve Perry WAS Journey… Does Neal think his (the Group's) success would have been as it is without Perry???”
Journey's farewell tour is expected to run through 2027.
Trader Joe’s Shoppers Are Doing a Double Take at This New Cookie: 'Can't Unsee It!'
A new seasonal item at Trader Joe's has fans buzzing, but not necessarily for the reasons the store intended. Trader Joe's new Sugar Cookie Dough Flowers are hitting shelves across the country, and the ready-to-bake treats are garnering a fair amount of attention.
Trader Joe's touts that the Sugar Cookie Dough Flowers use vegetable juices to create the yellow and magenta colors. They are sold in packages of 12 and have already been spotted in stores.
One fan of the cookies took to the Trader Joe's subreddit to share, "I love them! They stay soft and chewy for days and are very cute!"
View this post on InstagramSome Trader Joe's fans are buzzing about the cookies not for their taste, but for something regarding their appearance.
On one Instagram post about the cookies, someone questioned, "Is no one gonna say it??" That person included a laughing emoji, but didn't spell out what they were thinking.

Other comments on the same Instagram post suggested the cookies were "Cute!" and "Adorable!"
In the Trader Joe's subreddit, however, a few people "went there," it seems.
"They look like scalloped boobs," declared one Reddit user.
Another Redditor agreed, "They look exactly like the nipple covers I buy lol."
A third Reddit user responded, "Can't unsee it."
Those Trader Joe's fans commenting online about the new cookies, who are focused on the cookies themselves, seem to think they bake nicely and last well. The flavoring is simple, from the sounds of things, with Trader Joe's relying on a basic vanilla flavor profile.
Some fans have noted that the Trader Joe's Sugar Cookie Dough Flowers are not safe to eat unbaked, unlike what some other brands now offer.
The Trader Joe's Sugar Cookie Dough Flowers are in stores now and will be available until sometime in May.
Kanye West Halts Concert Mid-Song Over ‘Corny’ Lighting at First U.S. Show in Years
Kanye Westhas returned to performing in the U.S. with a show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., on Wednesday, Apr. 1, but it didn't go down without a hitch. The moment marked his first American solo concert since the "Free Larry Hoover" benefit concert in December 2021.
This time around, West was promoting his latest album, Bully. However, the setlist at the comeback show was loaded with the controversial rapper's classic hits, including two playthroughs of "Can't Tell Me Nothing," which was repeated after the audio team started it too soon, preventing the crowd from singing along.
But the real chaos started much later in the set, when West began to perform "Good Life" and then forced his team to restart it three times after stopping the performance mid-song to complain about the "corny" lighting and call out the lighting crew.
AYOOOO KANYE WEST CRASHING OUT ON THE LIGHTING GUY 😭
“THIS IS CORNY BRO”
“IS THIS A SNL SKIT?”
“WE WENT OVER THIS IN REHEARSAL BRO”
LMFAOOOOOOOO pic.twitter.com/XfMNFzbOq3
In a clip shared on X, you can hear West begin the song before demanding that they "pause, pause, pause" before adding, "Yo, I don't like when these lights move like that like a disco ball and s**t."
He continued to admonish the lighting crew, telling them, "It don't go with the stage. Don't do that, stop doing that." Then, West apologized to the audience for the lighting issues, notably the only apology he issued that evening.
"Run it back," West commanded before diving into the song again and then, almost immediately stopping the song again, repeatedly telling them to "stop."
The "Heartless" rapper continued, "You see that? When it does that? Don't do that! That s**t's corny yo!"
The third time he started and then abruptly stopped the song, West asked, "Is this like an SNL skit or something? Stop doing the vibrating Vegas lights bro! Like... we went over this in rehearsal."
Then, he told them to "put the Earth up" and to "run it back" one last time before finally getting through the entire song.
Other highlights from West's first American concert in more than four years included North West performing her song "Piercing On My Hand" and many of his classics, including "Jesus Walks," "All Falls Down," "Heartless," "Bound 2," "Through The Wire," and "Power."
'GMA' Host Is Leaving in Major Shake-Up
Good Morning America's weekend host, Janai Norman, is leaving the network in a major shake-up after working for ABC since 2011.
On April 1, a Status newsletter reported that ABC, which is owned by Disney, did not renew Norman's contract. Her last day with GMA was not revealed.
A source familiar with the situation also told Parade that Norman's contract was up and not renewed. ABC declined to comment. As of writing, Norman has not announced her departure.
In 2011, Norman joined ABC News as an intern. She worked for the network as a correspondent for New York and anchor for several programs, including World News Now and America This Morning. Norman signed on as a Good Morning America Weekend co-anchor in 2022 alongside Whit Johnson and Eva Pilgrim. She also hosts Oh Baby! on ABC.

Norman's departure is the latest in a string of exits and additions in recent years. In 2023, Amy Robach and TJ Holmes exited GMA3: What You Need to Know following their relationship scandal. DeMarco Morgan and Pilgrim took over as anchors after they left, and Gio Benitez was added to the weekend lineup.

Elizabeth Hurley Turns Heads in Yellow Bikini Bottom: 'Spring Has Sprung'
Elizabeth Hurleyis braving some pretty cool temps to get a head start on bikini season.
The 60-year-old Strictly Confidential star shared a photo from her topless romp in a field of wild daffodils on Thursday, Apr. 2, and demanded that others should also spend some time outside in the sun.
What makes this photo particularly interesting is her insistence on getting out in the sunshine because the temperature in Herefordshire, where she took the photo, has been relatively chilly, with a high of 50 to 52 degrees Fahrenheit with reports of wind and light rain.
In the photo, she crossed her bare arms to cover her chest while wearing only a bikini bottom that perfectly matched the flowers dotting the ground underneath her. Gold chain straps held it snugly in place, clinging to each hip. The bikini bottom is one half of the Paradise Bikini, from her own collection, and just the lower piece retails for $88.
Hurley's gold-streaked brunette locks spread in loose waves around her head, looking effortless and wild in the snap.
In the caption, Hurley wrote, "Spring has sprung! 🐣💛 Today, I sought some Vitamin D in beautiful Herefordshire, wearing nothing but @elizabethhurleybeach and @clinique SPF 😉 As long as you protect your skin, a bit of sunshine is really good for you, both mentally and beauty wise, so… cream up and GET OUTSIDE 💋."
View this post on InstagramHurley's 23-year-old son Damien was among the first to comment, simply writing, "omg."
The rest of the comments section quickly became a sea of heart and fire emojis with one fan calling her an "ageless beauty."
Another chimed in, writing, "Wow you are so beautiful 🔥😍❤️."
Someone else suggested that Hurley's latest photo would make the perfect wallpaper.
