Nancy Guthrie Update: Lead Detective Never Worked a Homicide Case Before, Law Enforcement Source Says

Thu, 04/02/2026 - 10:37am

Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie‘s mom, Nancy Guthrie, is still missing more than two months after she was abducted from her Tucson, Ariz., home—and a law enforcement source recently revealed that the lead detective had never worked a homicide case before.

On Thursday, April 2, NewsNation Senior Correspondent Brian Entin shared the revelation by an insider from the law enforcement community in Tucson.

🎬 SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬

"The first investigators who responded to Nancy Guthrie's home were inexperienced, and the supervisor had never investigated a homicide before, we are told," Entin reported. "This brand new information is coming from a source close to the investigation, who sat down with me for an exclusive interview with NewsNation."

Additionally, Entin said that the source offered "new insight" into the Pima County Sheriff's Department, which “has been forced into the national spotlight because of this case." He continued, "We've protected this person's identity for fear of retaliation for speaking out."

The source—who was not shown on the screen and whose voice was digitally altered—told Entin, "The people that were there on the scene were not tenured homicide detectives. They didn't have a lot of experience in homicide at that point. To include the supervisor, who, from my understanding, never investigated a homicide before being installed as the supervisor for the homicide unit."

When Entin asked how that was possible, the source explained, "Well, you see, you have decisions made by people that will install friends and people that can do stuff for them, as opposed to people who are there under merit and can do the job correctly."

Nancy was last seen at her Catalina Foothills residence on the evening of Jan. 31. As of writing, no suspect has been named in the case as the 84-year-old remains missing.

Catch Entin's entire interview on the topic tonight (Thursday, April 2) at 10 p.m. ET on NewsNation's Katie Pavlich Tonight.

Courtney Love Looks Back on 'Repulsive' First Meeting With Hollywood Icon Marlon Brando

Thu, 04/02/2026 - 10:36am

'90s rock icon Courtney Love had an interesting story to tell about the first time she ever met actorMarlon Brando. The Hole's singer was once convinced of a family rumor that the Hollywood actor was her grandfather, but vividly recalls their "repulsive" first meeting that changed everything.

Love appeared on Billy Corgan’s The Magnificent Others podcast and spoke about how she once thought the Godfather actor had an affair with her grandmother. She believed a rumor that he allegedly slept with novelist Paula Fox. Love held onto the idea that it could be true and remembers how Brando's neighbor helped facilitate their first meeting.

"When I met him, I thought he was super repulsive and that tracked. I was like, ‘Oh, I must be related to this guy,'" she told Corgan.

The Hole's front woman went on to explain how she knew the actor's neighbor, Warren Beatty, and how he coerced the actor to meet Love. Love admits that when taking the meeting, she didn't want anything from Brando if the rumor was true. Brando had his own suspicions, with Love revealing that she was told that the actor wanted a note, and "So I wrote him a note. ‘I don’t want anything from you.'"

Still believing the affair rumor could be true, Love remembers using his bathroom and thought about swiping his toothbrush for a DNA test. Despite having the chance, the singer wanted to keep her word and stick to her "feminist" notion of not needing the actor's name.

"Nah. Like, nah. Maybe I’m too much of a feminist, but I was like, ‘I don’t need your last name.’ That’s how I felt," she said. "Also, I gave my word. But I’m glad I didn’t because it turned out he wasn’t even my grandfather, so there’s the comedy there."

Love has never disclosed who her actual grandfather is, with her grandmother, Fox, having once lived with Brando in the 1940s. It was around this time that Fox conceived Love's mother, Linda Carroll. Carroll was put up for adoption at birth, with Love having only learned of her relation to Fox when she was an adult, and calling meeting her for the first time "awful."

Kamilla Karthigesu Explains the Real Meaning of Her Final Words About Jonathan on 'Survivor 50' (Exclusive)

Thu, 04/02/2026 - 10:35am

Survivor 50 is here! Every week, Parade's Mike Bloom will bring you interviews with the castaway most recently voted off the island.

Despite being the only Survivor 48 representative on Season 50 who didn't make it to the final day, Kamilla Karthigesu had perhaps the biggest target going in. After all, only a couple of weeks prior, the entire cast had seen her mount an impressive game with an underground partnership with Kyle Fraser, showcasing a mastery in the art of throwing people under the bus. And it was outright declared in the after-show that, had she survived firemaking, she would have won the game.

But, despite the perception that loomed large over the short-statured Kamilla, the expectation was soon bucked by the reality of of her 13 days on Survivor 50. It helped, of course, (in the most macabre way) that Kyle was tragically medevaced on Day 4, mitigating the threat of the two of them reuniting. Instead, Kamilla turned to new allies in the form of the new era. She clicked immediately with Dee Valladares and Tiffany Ervin on her original tribe, as they all reveled in getting to play a fun, cutthroat game. And, at Kamilla's first Tribal Council of the season, she was able to do just that. Caught in the middle of the brewing bad blood between Charlie Davis and Rizo Velovic, she chose to side with the devil you don't know over the devil you do, taking out the Season 46 runner-up.

Kamilla didn't make this move, though, without leaving a couple of people in the dark. Namely, Jonathan Young. While the two of them spent every day on the beach together, it was clear they never quite saw eye-to-eye (though maybe that was the height differential). When the shockiing "Blood Moon" twist split the newly-merged castaways back into three groups, Kamilla thought she once again had the vote on lock. In a prominent division between old and new school, new era had the numbers, and she could take the opportunity to finally take out Chrissy Hofbeck. But while Jonathan came from the new era, his blood ran old school through and through. And so, while Kamilla dined happily at Applebee's, she had no idea it would be her last supper. The neighborhood decided she was not good for their games, blindsiding her. And she was more than happy to impart some last words onto her close ally Tiffany: "Drag that man through the mud."

Now out of the game, Kamilla talks with Parade about what she was trying to insinuate in her final words about Jonathan, her reaction to Kyle being medevaced, and who she was looking to work with at the merge.

Related: Read our Survivor 50 pre-game interview with Kamilla Karthigesu

We need to start with your last words after you were blindsided: "Bro. Drag that man through the mud." What was your reaction when you found out Jonathan flipped? And what prompted those words?
So I will say the reactions you see on TV, the one where my jaw drops and I go, "Bro," that was my reaction to seeing my name the second time. Because I knew I was gonna see my name once from Chrissy, right? But I really thought Jonathan and Steph would have stuck with us. But the reason the jaw dropped that second time was, I don't know if you remember from Savannah's exit press, but she went on a journey with Mike and Colby. And Colby said a lot of things. Mike came back and brought all of that stuff to us. And I was like, "I think this guy's lying because he wants us to work with him instead of the other old school people." My jaw dropped because I was like, "This is confirmation that Mike was not lying."

So basically, for you, this insinuated the rumors of a "Zoom" pregame alliance were valid?
Yeah. And also all the other details about the calls and stuff. It wasn't just pre-existing relationships. I don't care about pre-existing relationships. That's just like, "I'll look out for you. You look out for me." This was different, according to Mike. And then me telling Tiff to drag him through the mud. So now that you know that the reactions were flipped, the second time, my hand was in my mouth. I was like, "Don't blow up Tiff's game, but you need her to go back and blow up the Zoom Alliance." But I didn't want to outright say "the Zoom Alliance," because clearly none of these people think that we're all talking about it, that we all know about it. So it's just like, "Drag him through the mud when you get back." I just didn't want to mention the "Zoom alliance." I didn't want to ruin her spot. Because if they know she knows, then it's all over for her.

The episode before, we see you seemingly as the swing vote between voting out Charlie or Rizo. Were you as torn between them as the episode indicated? What made you ultimately decide to vote for Charlie?
Actually, it wasn't always going to be Charlie. I didn't want to get rid of Charlie or Rizo. I was gunning for Jonathan that vote. And I told everyone, "We don't need him. We're swapping tomorrow." I thought we were swapping. I didn't think we were merging, because Rizzo told us he had two swaps on the season. So I'm like, "Okay, they're testing things for 50." And people are like, "No, no, it's gonna be bad if we don't swap."

So, between Rizo and Charlie, I was not a swing vote. I want to keep Rizo because he had connections that I didn't have, whereas Charlie had the same connections that I had. Charlie brings me nothing in the merge. Also Charlie, I couldn't read him. We'd spent 11 days up until that point together, every single day together, and I never felt like he was fully committed to me. And 11 days feels like 11 years. If I'm dating someone for 11 years and they don't pull out a ring, I'm walking away. And that's what it was with Charlie. He just never felt fully committed to me. So I'm like, "Sorry, bye bye. This guy knows Genevieve. I want to meet Genevieve."

You seemed to click early on with Dee and Tiffany. How did that happen? Were they your closest allies throughout the game?
They were my closest ties, yes. I was talking to a lot of people on early Kalo. I got really close to Mike. I got as close as Charlie would let me get close to. And I compared conversations to everyone else, and they're all like, "Yes, Charlie is saying the exact same thing to all of us." So I thought maybe Charlie was in with us. I strategized with Coach. I had conversations with Jonathan. I had conversations with Chrissy.

The thing with Chrissy was she immediately wanted to get out Dee and Tiff. She was saying, "The girls are always off together. Those two are always off together." I'm like, "I mean, realistically, Mike and Charlie are always off together. Coach and Jonathan are always off together. Everyone's off together! The boys are always off together." So I didn't really like that, and so that kind of pushed me in with Dee and Tiff. I was thinking, "Can I get in with Mike and Charlie?" But it felt like there was a wall. So I was like, "I'll get in Dee and Tiff. They like me. I'm the nerdy girl. They're the cool girls. I'll take it. I've never been with the cool girls. Let me get with the cool girls."

You got to be on the same starting tribe as Coach, your self-proclaimed favorite player of all time. Did the reality live up to the expectation?
Yes, yes! Oh my god. I had so many questions for him. I asked him out his the voyage through the Amazon. I was like, "Okay, so you play trumpet, but now you write symphonies. How?! Because you don't just learn music theory by playing an instrument." I wanted to hear everything. He was talking to me about the Susan Bill symphony at what I believe was three in the morning. I loved everything. I just wanted to hear him talk more and more and more and more and more and more and more.

Well, unfortunately, something we didn't hear more and more about was your reaction to Kyle's medevac. Before the game, you talked to me about how you were mad he was on the season, and considered him an anchor to your game. But I can't imagine you expected him to go out in this way. So talk to me about your reaction both after immediately finding out this news, as well as the hours and days after.
Okay, in that moment, I was so sad. Because I was like, "I don't know how serious this is." I don't know sports injuries. But to be pulled out of the game, I'm like, "Oh my god, something really bad is gonna happen." I was so worried for him, so worried for Maggie, his wife. I was crying a lot. Thankfully, Coach interjected and gave me a little comedic relief. But once I got back on the sit-out bench, and Jeff came and talked to me about Kyle, I started crying again. I was a mess. We go back to camp, and actually, Dee quickly organizes a fashion show to sort of lift everyone's spirits.

Wait, so your tribe also had a fashion show?!
Mike, the men were terrified. They thought that this was like some sort of "unlock an idol" play. And when we got to the swap tribe, and Rizo was talking about his fashion show, Jonathan's eyes were like, "Oh, okay, but did you each have to wear each other's clothing?" Because that's what Dee made us do.

So he thought that, like Seasons 41 and 42, this could have been something you needed to do to activate an idol?
Yeah. So he was asking about the details about the fashion show, because Dee made us all switch clothing with another player. And so he's like, "Did you guys have to wear each other's clothing?" And Rizo was like, "No, we threw our own fashion show." I thought that was kind of funny. It's too bad that didn't make that. I thought that was really funny.

So that helps me. And then Dee also comes up to me after, and she's like, "Kamilla, I know it sucks that Kyle's gone. But this is actually good for your game." I was like, W"hy didn't I think of that?" I was just so caught up with being sad for him, and also I was sad because everyone in Survivor communities, hey meet each other, they make friends with each other. And I go to these events, I'm friendly, but I'm really bad at making friends. And so my closest friend was gone, and now I'm like, "I don't know these people. At least I had a friend. Now he's gone."

So how did you feel when Rizo claimed that Kyle told him to work with you on his way out of the game?
Kyle would never say a good thing about me to anyone. Not to not blow up either of our games. But even in the real world, you will never catch that man say a single good thing about me, and I'm the same way. So I was just like, "Kyle would never. There's no way." Unless he thought he was actually going to die, then maybe he would say a nice thing about me.

Let's get into what happened after that vote. As you're getting settled into this massive 17-person tribe, was there anyone in particular you were angling to work with?
Yes, so Rizo told me he had friends, specifically Genevieve. I really wanted to talk to Genevieve. Cirie said that she was close with Ozzy, so I wanted to talk to Ozzy immediately. I caught back up with Tiff. I heard she was good with Aubry. And then I learned that we can't have a thing with both Aubry and Genevieve in it. I just wanted to meet everyone's friends and their friends at the merge. And then also, I really liked Christian. So I'm like, "I want to talk to Christian and also Emily." But I don't think Emily was a fan of me for any particular reason.

Why's that?
There is a point at the merge where I would approach a group of people, and everyone would scatter. And there was one time where I approached a group of people, and Emily immediately goes, "Alright, well, I guess I'm out of here!" It's like, "Okay, I'll go sit on the other hammock where no one's around by myself. I'll go do that because no one wants me around."

Well, let's move from some friends into foes. Let's say there is no "Blood Moon" twist and you have a regular merge vote. Who were you trying to target?
I mean, I wanted to get Jonathan out the night before. So I'd probably find a group of people that would be down to do that. And then Devens and Cirie were telling me that I should talk to Joe. They're like, "You need to talk to Joe because you've harmed that man." So it's like, "Okay, I don't think there's anything worth repairing with Joe. I think it's gone." But we've since talked and we're good. So I thought Jonathan, Joe probably don't want to work with me. And the things is Rizo also told me, "No Aubry." And then when I go to Tiff and Tiff tells me, "Yes Aubry," I'm like, "Well, there goes one plan!" Because I thought Aubry would have been an easy consensus for everyone to rally around.

You and I spoke in the preseason about your reputation coming into Survivor 50, especially considering Season 48 had just finished airing a couple of weeks before the game started. Did you feel like you were able to buck that perception of being this untrustworthy player? And how did you react when you heard Chrissy was targeting you because of what she saw on 48?
I think with some of the people who are new era, like Cirie said in the last episode, they'll vote with you, or they won't vote with you. It's not the old era mentality. I think those people were willing to look past that, because they're like, "I can work with my enemy. I can work with someone who I might not be able to trust in the short term." But I think there was a group of people who were like, "I don't want to be anywhere near her."

Finally, I know that Angelina prompted a lot of discourse last week about the disproportionate editing of women at that point in Season 50. And you had vocalized your support of that on social media. So I wanted to give you the opportunity now to speak on your thoughts on your own edit this season.
'll talk about my own edit. I didn't expect to get much screen time because I didn't place that well. However, in general, I was actually told by Jonny FairPlay last night that me reposting Angelina stuff, [that] I'm ruining Season 50 by doing that. Me and Angelina are ruining Season 50 by talking about the edit in this way. So I will listen to what Jonny FairPlay said and just not comment on this, because apparently I'm ruining Season 50.

Like two hours later, he came up and he started bringing up the same conversation again. He started with the same conversation again, and then he started saying, "Kamilla, you're such a great player. Blah, blah, blah." I'm like, "Yeah, sorry for ruining 50 for you. Or actually, I'm not." And he's like, "I never said you ruined 50. No, no. I was joking." And then we talked for about five minutes more, and then he pulls out these pictures that he wanted me to sign for him. So I don't know if he was actually joking or if he wanted me to sign a picture.

This '90s Rocker's Dad Had a Top 40 Hit in 1958

Thu, 04/02/2026 - 10:27am

Before Chris Robinson and The Black Crowes became a rock mainstay, music was already part of his story thanks to his father’s brush with chart success.

During a recent appearance on The Bobbycast, Robinson reflected on growing up in a home filled with records, guitars and stories about songs. His dad, he revealed, had his own moment in the spotlight with the 1958 Top 40 hit "Boom-A-Dip-Dip."

"He wasn’t a songwriter, but he had a great voice," Robinson, 59, said, recalling how music was always playing in the house. With hundreds of records spanning blues, folk and artists like Sly and the Family Stone, those early influences helped shape his connection to music—especially as someone who found it easier to connect through sound than traditional learning.

Some of his earliest memories, he shared, involve his father playing guitar and explaining the stories behind songs, how they were written, and how they evolved over time.

But despite that musical upbringing, Robinson admitted there was an unexpected disconnect when he began pursuing music himself.

"Honestly? He thought I was talentless," Robinson said.

While his father appreciated more traditional influences like Bob Dylan, Robinson was drawn to something entirely different. Punk, alternative and counterculture sounds—from The Clash to The Cure—spoke to him in a way that didn’t quite resonate at home.

“I was drawn to things that made him uncomfortable,” he explained. “That’s where I lived creatively.”

The contrast is hard to ignore: a father with a Top 40 hit helping spark a lifelong love of music while not fully seeing the potential in his own son.

Of course, Robinson would go on to carve out his own path, proving that sometimes the biggest creative breakthroughs come from going against expectations—even the ones closest to home.

Hailee Steinfeld Welcomes First Baby, and It’s a Girl!

Thu, 04/02/2026 - 10:18am

Academy Award-winning actress Hailee Steinfeld welcomed her first child with husband, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. The Sinners star revealed the news on her Substack, Beau Society, this week. 

The April 2 announcement, titled ‘Special Delivery,’ was short and sweet. The happy parents wrote, “Our baby girl has arrived!! We’re feeling incredibly grateful and blessed and savouring these early moments. Thank you so much for the love and well wishes. Love, Hailee and Josh.” 

Steinfeld was noticeably absent from the 2026 Oscars, prompting speculation that she had already given birth. The mom remained mum on the subject (at least on Oscar’s night), staying off social media and out of the spotlight during the final few weeks of her pregnancy. Sinners co-star Michael B. Jordan gave Steinfeld a shout-out during his Best Actor acceptance speech, sharing, “Hailee is at home…she’s getting ready to have a baby right now.” 

While Steinfeld wasn’t at the Academy Awards, the actress did post a sweet sentiment on her Substack a few days after the televised show, “I think I cried the whole Show!...It was a magical night watching my entire Sinners family shine.” She went on to add a sneak peek into her baby shower, offering a clue that she hadn’t given birth yet: “On a sunny Saturday in LA, my mom and about 30 women I love so much gathered in my most comfortable place—my backyard.” The first-time mommy shared her ‘Mother Goose’ and gingham theme but did not reveal the baby's sex. 

If you’re hoping to catch a glimpse of newborn baby Steinfeld-Allen on the star’s Instagram page, you may have to wait a while. Even though the couple already made their big birth announcement, it looks like the Substack post is currently the only public statement. 

Steinfeld did post a sweet pic baby bump-baring pic on Instagram in February, writing, “Life lately.” Famous friends and fans flocked to the post, adding their well-wishes for the couple. Actor Jeremy Renner wrote, “I’m so happy for you two!!” and model/influencer Olivia Culpo gushed, “You look incredible!” 

View this post on Instagram

One commenter gave their boy/girl thoughts, adding, “It’s giving boy vibes, Hailee!” with several others agreeing. Of course, now everyone knows that Steinfeld was actually pregnant with a baby girl. The Pitch Perfect star’s fans look forward to getting all the details on Steinfeld’s newborn. But for now, we’ll have to settle for the announcement and hope that the elated parents are enjoying their first few days, weeks, and more in privacy with their brand-new baby!

Emma Chamberlain Describes Her Interior Design Style As Elegant Yet Playful

"Over the last few years, I've been slowly but surely filling in the blanks in this house," Chamberlain said in the new AD video. "When you first move in, you don't really know what you need, what should go where ... that comes to you as you live in a space."

"I like to find myself through being eclectic, mixing and matching," she further explained, adding that she enjoys collecting wares from all different eras. "When I ... tapped into that, I found that it magically had a cohesion because the through line was me."

She added: "I enjoy a playfulness but I also enjoy ... a little bit of elegance."

A lot of the pieces Chamberlain has acquired over the past few years have been lucky finds from flea markets and vintage stores. For instance, in her kitchen, lively decor includes a house-shaped sponge holder and a stretching cat-shaped paper towel holder (Chamberlain is a mama to two cats).

Additionally, many of the pieces throughout the home are inspired by some of Chamberlain's favorite things: birds (including a ceramic bird-shaped pitcher, a pigeon-shaped glasses holder, a fruit bowl with chicken feet and a chicken stuffed animal), apples (including mugs and a basket) and buttons (including dishes and throw pillows).

Chamberlain's living room is all about gathering and being social — instead of a television, the room has a gaming table and wardrobe filled with board games.

For times she does want to watch TV or play video games, Chamberlain has a sprawling den with a cozy terracotta-hued couch — which replaced the white rental couch she had last time AD visited. "This is the couch I was always meant to have," Chamberlain joked.

And all throughout the home, Chamberlain has plenty of furniture from her recent West Elm collab, including the Two-Tone Curved Wood Vanity and Marble Bistro Table.

The 18 Best Hair-Growth Oils for Stronger, Thicker Strands, Tested by Trichologists Themselves

Thu, 04/02/2026 - 10:12am

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

Healthy, luminous locks begin at the scalp—but achieving stop-and-stare hair is rarely as simple as adding a single product to your routine. With countless oils, serums and treatments promising everything from rapid regrowth to thicker, fuller strands, the category has become increasingly crowded—and oftentimes, confusing.

While some formulas are grounded in clinical research and thoughtfully selected ingredients, others rely more on marketing than measurable results, making it difficult to know what’s truly worth your investment. And really, what’s more frustrating than reading one more label while watching your pillowcase collect new tufts of your former tresses each morning? No, thank you.

To cut through the noise, we spoke with leading trichologists about the ingredients that actually work and the products with proven results. These hair-growth experts spend their days studying the science of the scalp and follicles—so who better to turn to for real-world clinical insights and recommendations for treating thinning, shedding and breakage?

We also tapped top stylists for their perspective on how to use these treatments effectively, because even the most advanced formula won’t deliver results if it’s applied incorrectly.

The takeaway: while no oil or serum can deliver overnight transformation, the right formula—paired with consistent, strategic use—can help improve scalp health, strengthen strands and create the ideal conditions for fuller, healthier-looking hair over time.

Ahead, the expert-approved hair-growth oils and scalp treatments that stand out for their ingredients, performance and proven results.

Top Hair-Growth OilsWhat Causes Hair Thinning and Shedding?

There’s no sugarcoating it: hair loss at any stage can be incredibly frustrating and, at times, confusing. It often sends people down a rabbit hole of products that promise miracle regrowth or treatments that claim to coax new strands to sprout. But before trying everything under the sun, understanding where the issue originates—whether at the follicle or along the hair shaft—is key to identifying the right treatment and restoring healthier, stronger hair.

“Hair thinning, shedding and breakage may look similar, but they often stem from very different causes,” explains Tesha Avery, certified trichologist at the North Carolina Hair Loss Center. “Thinning is frequently linked to genetics, hormonal changes or underlying health conditions, while shedding is commonly triggered by stress, illness, postpartum shifts or nutrient deficiencies.” Breakage, on the other hand, typically occurs along the hair shaft and is often the result of mechanical damage, heat styling, chemical processing or dryness, she adds.

Ingredients To Look for in Hair-Growth Oils

When evaluating hair growth oils, it’s important to focus on ingredients backed by both clinical research and emerging science.

“The ingredient with the strongest clinical evidence is minoxidil, which is FDA-approved for hair regrowth,” explains Avery. “Caffeine has emerging research suggesting it may help stimulate hair follicles, while certain peptides and rosemary extract show promising support for circulation and overall follicle health.”

She adds that some newer formulations are incorporating plant-based stem cell extracts designed to support the scalp environment—though research in this area is still evolving. Ultimately, results depend on the underlying cause of hair loss and consistent, long-term use.

What Makes a Hair-Growth Oil Effective?

As much as we’d love instant results from a single drop applied to the scalp, hair oils take time to work their magic—and consistency is key, say experts.

“A hair-growth oil works best when it supports the health of the scalp—the environment where hair actually grows,” explains Avery. While oils don’t directly make hair grow faster, they can help improve circulation, reduce dryness, protect the scalp barrier and minimize breakage. When used regularly as part of a scalp-care routine, nourishing oils help create the conditions for stronger, more resilient strands over time, she adds.

How To Use Hair-Growth Oils for the Best Results

So you’ve found the right hair growth oil—now it’s all about how you use it. According to Kerry E. Yates, trichologist and founder of Colour Collective, application timing is key: serums and oils should be the final step in your routine to allow them to fully absorb and do their job.

“If applying in the morning, use them before setting the hair,” she says. “If applied at night, they should be topically applied before bed.” What you shouldn’t do is rinse them out immediately. “Do NOT apply the serum and then wash your hair,” she adds. “I liken it to using a moisturizer on your face and then cleansing your skin right afterward.”

Technique matters just as much as timing. Celebrity stylist Marc Ballance recommends applying oils directly to the scalp in sections, focusing on the roots. “Then massage with your hands to make sure the product actually contacts the scalp—not just the hair,” he explains. “These products are for the root and scalp, so really work them in.”

As for when and how often to use them, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Ballance prefers applying oils to a slightly damp scalp but notes that results ultimately depend on the formula. Both morning and nighttime applications can be effective, as long as the product has time to absorb. Frequency should also be tailored to your hair type—those prone to oiliness may want to limit use to a few times per week, while others can apply more as needed.

When it comes to how long to leave oils on, follow the product’s instructions. Growth-focused formulas are typically designed to be left in, while richer oils can double as conditioning treatments and may only need 10 to 15 minutes before rinsing. The goal, experts agree, is consistent, targeted use that supports scalp health over time.

Styling Mistakes That Can Make Hair Loss Look Worse

Constant tension is one of the most common culprits, according to master colorist and founder of LRN Beauty in New York City, Lauren Paglionico. Tight ponytails, while convenient, can put stress on the hairline and lead to long-term damage. “I love a pony, but that tension can cause permanent damage,” she says, suggesting a loose braid as a gentler alternative—especially during workouts.

Another often-overlooked issue is not washing your hair frequently enough. When you’re experiencing thinning, buildup from oils, sweat and styling products can accumulate on the scalp, making hair appear thinner and potentially worsening the condition. Keeping the scalp clean and balanced is key to maintaining healthier-looking hair.

Seeking hair replacement solutions without a lot of scary chemicals involved? Caspara co-signs Kilgour MD's Scalp Serum for its ability to combat hair thinning, while replenishing sparse areas.

"The perfect unmedicated, all-natural replacement to hair loss medications like finasteride, spironolactone and dutasteride," she says, noting that its clinically studied active ingredients support 200%+ hair follicle growth, with no side effects reported in a peer-reviewed trial.

Another bonus? It's ideal for men dealing with pattern baldness at the hairline and crown areas who want to stop using medications or have not had success with them.

Caspara calls this potent vial a true next-generation treatment, powered by platelet-derived exosomes and proprietary Renewosome technology to deliver visibly thicker, fuller-looking hair while supporting overall follicle function.

The formula is further enhanced with biotin to reinforce the scalp barrier, hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate and soothe and panthenol (vitamin B5) to improve strength and flexibility. "It also contains nourishing ingredients to preserve scalp health,” she explains.

Amazon

Shop It on Amazon

When it comes to affordable yet effective hair growth solutions, pure Australian emu oil stands out as a powerful contender. According to celebrity trichologist William Gaunitz, FWTS, emu oil is one of the most effective oils for supporting hair regrowth due to its unique ability to deeply penetrate the scalp—especially when its warmed to room temperature.

“I’ve used it in my clinics for multiple inflammatory scalp conditions and to support hair growth,” Gaunitz explains, highlighting its versatility and clinical credibility.

Best Hair Oil Cocktail: Forest and Shore Hair Growth Oil, $29

“This oil has many fantastic ingredients for supporting hair growth,” says Gaunitz, pointing to the inclusion of caffeine and biotin alongside castor and rosemary oils, which help support overall scalp health and encourage regrowth.

Advanced Trichology

While not a traditional hair oil, this scalp-focused serum delivers many of the same benefits—thanks to a potent concentration of essential oils at the core of its formula.

The blend is carried in an alcohol-based herbal tincture, designed to enhance absorption and deliver active ingredients directly to the scalp. From a clinical standpoint, it helps minimize the impact of DHT, reduce inflammation and create a healthier environment for hair growth. The inclusion of essential oils also supports the topical delivery of key nutrients, including vitamin D3 and vitamin B5, to nourish the follicles.

“I use this product as my go-to scalp serum for most hair loss conditions,” says Gaunitz, underscoring its versatility and efficacy.

Best for Reduced Shedding: The Nue Co. Supa Thick Hair Serum, $44

Amazon

Shop It on Amazon

While no topical can promise instant regrowth, the right formula can help support the scalp during periods of temporary shedding. “Growth oils may help with short-term hair loss caused by hormonal changes, stress, shifts in diet, illness or even anesthesia,” says Paglionico.

“I’m very particular about what I recommend and will only suggest The Nue Co. Supa Thick Hair Serum to my clients,” she adds, noting that the science-backed formula uses Redensyl, clary sage and lactic acid to support the scalp environment, while rosemary, peppermint and camellia oils help boost circulation.

Best Multi-Tasker: Viva Naturals Organic Coconut Oil, $10

Amazon

Shop It on Amazon

A classic for a reason, Yates calls coconut oil a great natural emollient. "It's the perfect partner for hair oiling treatments, when applied to wet hair," she explains.

Not only does it detangle like a pro, but it helps prevent breakage and further hair loss, while instantly improving hair's manageability, suppleness and shine.

Best for Fine Hair: Nutrafol Hair Serum, $49

Amazon

Shop It on Amazon

Although Avery can attest to Nutrafol's proven track record for encouraging new growth in sparse areas of fine hair, she warns that the most common mistake with this lightweight serum is overuse.

"Applying too much oil can weigh the hair down," she cautions. "Instead of dropping oil directly onto the scalp, put a small amount in your hands, rub it between your fingers and gently massage a thin layer into the scalp. A little goes a long way."

Best for Fuller-Looking Hair: Vegamour Gro Hair Serum for Hair Thinning, $64

Amazon

Shop It on Amazon

On the more splurge-worthy end of the spectrum, this popular serum has earned a loyal following for its plant-based approach to thicker-looking hair. Avery highlights it as a standout: “It’s one of the higher-end options designed to support fuller-looking hair.”

The formula combines turmeric to help improve the appearance of density, caffeine to energize the scalp, and a proprietary blend of red clover and mung bean to nourish follicles and support healthier-looking strands.

Clean and vegan, the serum is designed to reduce the appearance of shedding and promote visibly thicker, fuller hair—with results often reported in as little as 90 days.

Best for Thinning Edges: Cécred Restoring Hair & Edge Drops, $56

Amazon

Shop It on Amazon

The hairline is often the first area to show signs of stress, making targeted care essential. Cécred’s lightweight, nutrient-rich formula is designed to support fragile follicles, smooth breakage and promote healthier-looking edges over time—without weighing hair down.

Our experts emphasize that consistency is key with treatments like this. “All five of these options can support thinning at the crown when used consistently as natural topical treatments,” says Avery. “However, if thinning is advanced or progressive, it may be time to consult a dermatologist for a prescription-based or customized topical treatment.”

Best for Split Ends: Kerastase Nutritive Split Ends Hair Serum, $49

Amazon

Shop It on Amazon

Kérastase's Split Ends Serum is designed to nourish dry, damaged ends while helping reduce the appearance of thinning caused by breakage. As Gretchen Friese-Oligee, hairstylist, certified trichologist and hair loss expert, notes, strengthening fragile ends is key to maintaining fuller-looking hair.

When choosing a hair oil or serum, it’s important to consider your hair texture. "Fine hair typically benefits from lightweight formulas that won’t weigh it down, such as The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density or K18 Molecular Repair Hair Oil. Thicker or coarser hair, on the other hand, can handle richer, more nourishing options like Kérastase’s Nutri-Supplement Split Ends Serum for added smoothing and repair," she says.

Best Lightweight: Keranique Radiant Repair Oil, $30

Ulta

Shop It at Ulta

Many hair-growth oils can feel heavy or sticky—which is the last thing you want coming in contact with your pillow at night—but lightweight options do exist. “I like Keranique Radiant Repair Oil,” says Friese-Oligee. “It helps to moisturize and strengthen the hair, which reduces hair thinning due to breakage.”

For more targeted scalp care, she adds that BosleyMD Follicle Energizer is another option worth considering: “It contains caffeine and biotin to help areas of thinning when applied to the scalp.”

This Classic Movie Still Airs Every Year—and Fans Never Get Tired of It

Thu, 04/02/2026 - 10:07am

Few films have the staying power of The Ten Commandments. First released in 1956, the epic biblical drama has become a yearly tradition for many viewers, who continue to tune in each time it airs. With its sweeping scale, memorable performances, and enduring story, the film has managed to hold its place in pop culture across generations.

Directed by Cecil B. DeMille, the 1956 classic usually airs at least once before Easter Sunday—and this year is no different. The movie aired on Palm Sunday and will air again on Holy Saturday (April 4) on ABC.

The film follows the life of Moses, portrayed by legendary actor Charlton Heston, from his rescue as an infant from the Nile to his rise as the leader who would free the enslaved Hebrew people. Along the way, it depicts his tense rivalry with Rameses II, played by Yul Brynner, the devastating plagues of Egypt, and the Exodus, culminating in a powerful moment on Mount Sinai where he receives the Ten Commandments.

Many social media users are already getting excited to watch the film, which airs annually around this time of year. The film is nearly four hours long, not taking commercials into account.

"I watched it every year and I will watch next Saturday. I don't know why they don't show on Easter anymore," one X user wrote.

"I wouldn't consider myself very religious but, I watched it every year and was captivated. Such a great movie," someone else said.

"Every year. I still watch it when it comes on. Epic," a third comment read.

"Holy Week tradition," a fourth person weighed in.

Will you be watching The Ten Commandments this year?

Melissa Gilbert Breaks Silence in First Interview Since Husband Timothy Busfield's Arrest

Thu, 04/02/2026 - 9:56am

Little House on the Prairie star Melissa Gilbert broke her silence in the first interview since her husband, The West Wing actor Timothy Busfield, was arrested and charged with child sex abuse.

On Thursday, April 2, Good Morning America previewed an interview featuring Gilbert and George Stephanopoulos. The full sit-down will air on GMA on Monday, April 6.

In the clip, Stephanopoulos asked, “What has this whole episode been like for you?”

The actress who played Laura Ingalls Wilder confessed, "Hell. This has been the most traumatizing experience of our lives.”

“Our life as we knew it is done,” Gilbert, 61, continued, of herself and Busfield, 68. “We are grieving what we had—all of our plans, all of our dreams, all of our ideas, all of our projects. For Tim, it's done. He's canceled."

To conclude the clip, Gilbert boldly declared, "Even if he's exonerated, he will always be that guy. The last person in the world who would hurt a child. And believe me, if I thought for a second that Tim Busfield hurt a child, he'd have a lot more to worry about than prison.”

After turning himself in to police on Jan. 13, Busfield pleaded not guilty to four counts of criminal sexual contact with a child, all third-degree felonies, on Feb. 10. The Albuquerque Police Department (APD) issued an arrest warrant fr him in January, alleging that he sexually abused twin actors, 11, after they met on the set of The Cleaning Lady. One of the alleged victims was just 7 when the incidents began.

“They’re all lies, and I did not do anything to those little boys, and I’m gonna fight it,” Busfield said in a video released by TMZ. “I’m gonna fight it with a great team, and I’m gonna be exonerated, I know I am, because this is all so wrong and all lies.”

Gilbert released a statement through her publicist after her husband's arrest, explaining that she was “honoring the request of Tim’s lawyers not to speak publicly while the legal process unfolds.” It added, "Melissa stands with and supports her husband and will address the public at an appropriate time,” per ABC News.

Busfield's trial date is reportedly set for May 2027. Catch Gilbert's full interview with Stephanopoulos on Monday, April 6 ,on ABC.

This Beloved Storyteller’s Work Still Inspires Movies Today—And He Was Born 219 Years Ago

Thu, 04/02/2026 - 9:55am

Before they were adapted into animated children's films, they were first classic stories created by a single author. Celebrations are in honor of Hans Christian Andersen, who was born on April 2, 1805, and is responsible for some of the most beloved literary fairytales fans have enjoyed for decades.

Born in Odense, Denmark, Andersen was a prolific writer who wrote plays, novels, and poems, but was largely known for his fairy tales. One of his earliest found works was "The Tallow Candle," which was discovered in a Danish archive and said to have been written in the 1820s.

When it came to his literary fairytales, one of his first publications was a nine-story collection that was published in three installments. In May 1835, four stories were released and would be familiar to many. "The Tinderbox," "Little Clause and Big Claus," "The Princess and the Pea," and "Little Ida's Flowers" were the first volume installment. "The Princess and the Pea" has become a longtime favorite and was adapted into a stage musical in 1959 with Carol Burnett as the heroine. It became a TV film in 1961 with Samantha Eggar and was revived as a musical withSarah Jessica Parker. Liza Minnellialso played a TV role.

The second installment was made up of the tales "The Naughty Boy", "The Traveling Companion", and "Thumbelina." The last story was also heavily adapted starting in 1924, and was adapted by Hallmark, Golden Films, and Warner Bros as the 1994 animated movie under the same name.

What gained Andersen international fame was his third booklet, which published the infamous "The Little Mermaid" and "The Emperor's New Clothes." "The Little Mermaid" was originally published in 1837 and became one of Andersen's most popular works, which was adapted. In 1985, NBC aired an anthology series hosted by Shirley Temple that brought to life the fairytale. It was adapted into a 1976 Russian film and a theatre production in 1987.

The movie adaptation that many grew up with was none other than Disney's The Little Mermaid in 1989. It was originally proposed as a package film featuring vignettes of Andersen tales and loosely based on the fairytale. The characters and fairytale inspired a generation and pop culture. It was later adapted into a live-action film in 2023.

His other adapted works include The Ugly Duckling from 1931 and the 1939 remake, The Red Shoes in 1948, and Frozen, which is loosely inspired by his work "The Snow Queen." Many countries around the world adapted his fairytales from Japan, Russia, and Britain.

Andersen's literary contributions to the world of fairytales is unforgettable. In early 1872, Andersen fell from his bed and never fully recovered from the injuries. He later started to show signs of liver cancer and died on August. 4, 1975, at the age of 70.

Does Kitty End Up with Min-Ho in Season 3 of 'XO, Kitty'?

Thu, 04/02/2026 - 9:52am

K-Dramas are especially expert at building romance between two leads—and with a buildup that's so intense, the impending kiss almost always goes completely viral.

So it's no surprise that Jenny Han—the writer and creator of the To All the Boys I've Loved Before book series and its spinoff XO, Kitty—is adept at the slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance. In XO, Kitty, the titular character Kitty (Anna Cathcart) has had a love-hate relationship with wealthy elite student Min-Ho Moon (Sang Heon Lee). At the end of Season 1, Min-Ho confessed, "I think I fell in love with you... A little bit. Or. A lot." Millions of fans around the world let out an audible sigh as that line alone became one of the most replayed moments in the show's history.

But even with that declaration, a surprised Kitty rebuffed him and the dance continued into Season 2. She explored her sexuality and the two dealt with their own personal crises—all while building a solid foundation of friendship and mutual admiration.

By the end of Season 2, it really looked like Kitty was about to express her feelings to Min-Ho, just like he had done at the end of Season 1. Unfortunately, Min-Ho preempted this by saying he probably should stick to his playboy ways after getting burned by Stella (Audrey Huynh), who had used him in a revenge plot against his father. As Min-Ho was about to leave to go on tour with his father and superstar brother, Kitty impulsively asked if she could tag along.

So where does that leave Kitty and Min-Ho going into Season 3? Let's take a look.

Season 3 is Kitty and Min-Ho's senior year at K.I.S.S. (Korean International School in Seoul, South Korea) so if they don't date this year, they most likely never will. As the two have been dancing around their attraction for the past two seasons, it's more than likely that these two are going to lock lips at some point in Season 3.

Do Min-Ho and Kitty get together in the books?

While Kitty is a supporting character in the To All the Boys I've Loved Before books, Min-Ho is not. XO, Kitty is a spinoff series created for the screen and was never published in book format, so the character of Min-Ho did not actually exist before the Netflix series.

Min-Ho and Kitty remain friends throughout Season 2 and never even share a kiss (aside from some awkward dreams). This creates that smoldering burn of desire that keeps viewers glued to their screens. Even though Kitty turned down Min-Ho's declaration of love at the beginning of Season 2, he still remains her friend and is there for her when she needs one.

The two become closer through their friendship and ultimately share a more intimate relationship than either would have expected. She's there for him when things go sideways with Stella and as he copes with the turmoil of his K-Pop idol-making dad. Meanwhile, he's there for her when her letter to Yuri is revealed and when she feared she inherited her mother's worst traits after feeling rejected by her Korean family. It's these moments of friendship and support that end up feeling more romantic than blatant displays of love and affection.

“That is an opportunity for Kitty to see that Min Ho is a really true friend and is someone who wants to show up for Kitty regardless of his feelings, regardless of his pride that she turned him down,” Cathcart has said of the two characters in Season 2. And when Kitty discovers that Stella isn't who she says she is? “It really eats (at) her, which is a very relatable thing so many people have experienced, seeing (that person) with someone else really shows you your true feelings,” she added.

In Season 2, when Kitty's therapeutic letter of self-reflection to Yuri is revealed to the entire group, she escapes by sitting by herself in the hot tub. Min-Ho—noticing she is nowhere to be found—discovers her there and gets in with her—fully clothed—to comfort her. "This is a pivotal point for the two of them," Cathcart has said. "Because this is the first time they're able to show up for each other while also acknowledging that there was something that happened between them."

This Common GLP-1 Dosing Mistake Can Backfire Fast, Doctors Warn

Thu, 04/02/2026 - 9:50am

GLP-1s are proving to be one of the most important medical advances of our time. According to data collected from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 32.4% of people in the U.S. with obesity have used a GLP-1 for weight loss, and nearly one in three U.S. adults with diabetes has used a GLP-1 to manage it. These rates have very likely gone up significantly since this data was collected in 2024.

Obesity is a significant risk factor for many life-threatening conditions, including cardiovascular disease, liver disease, kidney disease and several forms of cancer. This means that since GLP-1s can help reverse obesity, it literally saves lives. Many doctors and researchers believe that there are even more long-term benefits of GLP-1s than we currently know. Although it’s important to note that it’s also too early to know the potential negative consequences of taking a GLP-1 long-term as well.

As with any medication, GLP-1 medications must be taken correctly. Otherwise, it may not work properly or could even put one’s health in danger. There’s one particular GLP-1 mistake that obesity medicine doctors often see and warn strongly against. Keep reading to find out how it can backfire and what doctors say to do instead.

Why GLP-1 Users Often Experience Nausea

Even with all its benefits, GLP-1s do have their drawbacks, such as side effects. An estimated 20% of people (one in five) taking a GLP-1 experience nausea

“Nausea is one of the most common side effects associated with GLP-1 medications and it tends to occur more frequently in what I call ‘super responders.’ These are often patients who start at a lower body mass index and experience rapid weight loss even at lower doses, which suggests heightened sensitivity to the medication,” explainsDr. Betsy Dovec, MD, FACS, a bariatric surgeon with BodyByBariatrics. 

Dr. Dovec explains that nausea from a GLP-1 is most common after first starting the medication. Dr. Wiljon Beltre, MD, a bariatric surgeon at Beltre Bariatrics in Orlando, Florida, adds that overeating or eating high-fat meals can also make nausea more common when taking a GLP-1. “These meds slow down your stomach emptying, so if you overfill the pouch, that food just sits there, leading to nausea or reflux,” he says.

The GLP-1 Dosing Mistake That Can Completely Backfire

As a way to reduce nausea, some people skip doses. Both doctors warn against doing this.

“Skipping doses because of nausea is understandable, but it is not always the best solution. These medications have long half-lives, meaning they stay in your system for several days, and consistent dosing is what allows your body to adapt over time. If you skip doses too frequently, you disrupt that steady state, which can actually make side effects worse when you restart,” Dr. Dovec says.

In other words, skipping doses prevents your body from adapting to the medication. This, both doctors say, can prolong side effects and also prevent the medication from working properly.

“When you take the next dose, it hits your system like a ton of bricks because your body has lost its tolerance. You often end up feeling twice as sick as you would have if you’d just stayed the course,” Dr. Beltre says.

Skipping doses can also backfire, leading to weight gain instead of weight loss.

“Obesity is a chronic disease, and when you skip doses, you’re letting the disease take control again. You’ll see cravings return, diabetics can see blood sugar spike and your weight loss will likely plateau. It can be very demoralizing for a patient to see the scale stop moving just because they were trying to avoid a day of sickness,” Dr. Beltre tells Parade.

Doctor-Approved Ways To Deal With Nausea From GLP-1s

As tempting as it may be, skipping doses is not the best way to deal with nausea from GLP-1s. What should you do instead? To reduce the risk of experiencing nausea as a side effect, both doctors say it’s important to avoid eating big meals, especially ones that are high in fatty foods, like processed meats or fried food. They also emphasize the importance of staying hydrated. 

Dr. Dovec says that timing the injection to the evening or before a day off (so symptoms can be managed more comfortably) can also be helpful. If you are experiencing nausea as a side effect, she recommends talking to your doctor about taking a medication that can help, such as ondansetron.

If you’ve tried these suggestions and are still experiencing nausea, it’s important to talk to your doctor and come up with a new plan. No one should go through life feeling nauseous all the time.

“If someone is experiencing persistent nausea on a GLP-1, the first step is not to push through it but to adjust the plan,” Dr. Dovec says, explaining that this can mean staying at the current dose longer (GLP-1 doses typically increase over time until the desired dose is reached), reducing the dose, optimizing hydration and nutrition or switching to a different GLP-1.

“Ultimately, GLP-1 medications are powerful tools, but they require a thoughtful, individualized approach. Patients should never feel like they have to ‘tough it out’ with side effects, and open communication with their prescribing provider is essential to finding the right balance between effectiveness and quality of life,” Dr. Dovec emphasizes.

Instead of skipping doses or troubleshooting on your own, talk to your doctor. Together, you can come up with a plan that will help you meet your health goals without nausea getting in the way.

‘Bachelorette’ Alum Dead at 35 as Former Partner Breaks Silence

Thu, 04/02/2026 - 9:49am

A former contestant from the Australian version of The Bachelorette has died. Konrad Bien-Stephen, who appeared on the 2021 season of the show where Brooke Blurton was the lead, was 35.

According to a statement provided to news.com.au by Bien-Stephen's manager, Ella Dolan, "He will be deeply missed."

Dolan stated, "It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Konrad Bien-Stephen. We ask that you respect the privacy of their family during this incredibly difficult time. No further information will be shared at this stage."

View this post on Instagram

Bien-Stephen's manager added, "We ask that media and the public respect the privacy of his family, refrain from speculation, and treat his memory with dignity, not as a headline."

In addition to being a fan favorite on Chatfield's season of The Bachelorette Australia, Bien-Stephen competed on The Challenge Australia a year after his initial reality TV stint.

Bien-Stephen finished in fourth place during Blurton's season. He later caused a bit of a stir when he and The Bachelor Australia alum Abbie Chatfield went public with their romantic relationship. They dated from November 2021 to August 2022, noted Variety Australia.

After news of Bien-Stephen's death emerged, Chatfield took to her Instagram Stories to share a statement.

View this post on Instagram

She wrote, "I have seen the news of Konrad's death, and I have known the news for a few days now. Thank you to the people reaching out to me to let me know or to send their support."

Chatfield continued, "Obviously this is an incredibly difficult and strange time for me, and I am devastated for Konrad, his friends and his family. And I am heartbroken too. Though we haven't spoken for years, this is still incredibly difficult."

Bien-Stephen was "such a kind and sweet person to everyone" who was "A very caring man who deserved to live a very very long life. I am so heartbroken that he doesn't get to do that," Chatfield added.

Chatfield originally appeared on The Bachelor Australia during Matt Agnew's season, which aired in 2019. She was the runner-up and was painted as a villain.

She appeared on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2021 and won that season. She now has a podcast titled It's a Lot.

After her split from Bien-Stephen, Chatfield shared in an episode of her podcast, "Nothing bad happened. Nothing dramatic happened. We just weren't right for each other."

Variety Australia shared that most recently, Bien-Stephen had been dating singer-songwriter Thelma Plum.

Fans and colleagues flooded the last Instagram post that Bien-Stephen had shared before his death to leave their condolences.

"One of the kindest, sweetest and most authentic of all. I'll miss your hugs brother," read one comment.

"You warmed my soul every time I saw you and even thought about you," another comment read.

"Heartbroken, such a kind soul," someone else added.

"Konrad you beautiful soul...what a loss, you will be so missed," wrote an additional Instagram user.

This New Costco Deli Find Has Sushi Lovers Taking Notice

Thu, 04/02/2026 - 9:43am

If you've ever wandered the Costco deli section looking for something beyond the usual rotisserie chicken or pre-made salads, there's a new option showing up, and sushi fans are taking notice.

The Kirkland Signature Sushi Burrito with Crab and Salmon Poke has been spotted in warehouses, combining familiar sushi flavors into a handheld format. It includes snow crab, sriracha salmon poke, Inari pockets, and Bachan sauce.

Priced at $16.99 per pound, a 1.38-pound container comes to $23.45, consistent with other prepared deli items.

You can see it in this April 1 TikTok from @costcoaisles:

Flavor-wise, it stays close to what sushi fans expect. The salmon poke is lightly marinated, the crab is sweet and flaky, and everything comes together in a savory combination that doesn't feel overly heavy. The portion is generous, making it easy to split or save for later.

As the weather warms up, quick lunches and picnic-friendly options start to take priority. This fits easily into that mix with no prep required.

Shoppers were quick to react. One wrote, "Wish they had this at my Costco." Another added, "Please tell me this is not for April Fools, this looks good."

Although it's real, availability can vary by location. Costco often tests new deli items in select regions first, so it may not be in every warehouse just yet.

Costco's Sushi Burrito Is a Larger, Uncut Roll Similar to Ehomaki

If the idea of a sushi burrito sounds familiar, that's because oversized sushi rolls have been around for years. According to Chopsticks Chronicles, in Japan, ehomaki is a type of futomaki, or thick sushi roll, traditionally made with seven fillings for the spring Setsubun festival. The number is tied to the seven gods of fortune in Japanese folklore and is believed to bring good luck and prosperity for the year.

These rolls are intentionally large, often about 3 to 4 inches in diameter and up to 10 inches long, and they're left uncut. Cutting them is said to "cut" your luck, so they're eaten whole. That same concept carries over here, with everything combined into one substantial roll rather than smaller, sliced pieces.

If you're looking for something new to try, this sushi meal stands out for being fresh and fun. So, on your next Costco run, take a detour past the deli case, and you might walk out with your new favorite lunch.
