For over a decade, the "One Chicago" shows have occupied Wednesday nights on NBC. Between Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med, Dick Wolf's ever-growing franchise has captured procedural fans' hearts all around the world. But the doctors, firefighers, and police officers of Chicago will encounter a bit of a shift this week, as two shows will be delayed in their airings in some time zones.

Here's the reason why Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. will be delayed tonight, and when fans should expect episodes to come on.

Are the "One Chicago" shows on tonight?

Yes! Though it should be noted that both Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. will be airing a smidge later in the Eastern and Central time zones this week.

When does Chicago Fire come on tonight?

Chicago Fire will air following the conclusion of President Trump's presidential speech. While the event is live, the episode is expected to commence at approximately 9:20 p.m. ET/8:20 p.m. CT.

When does Chicago P.D. come on tonight?

With Chicago Fire's airing delayed, that will also impact the airing of Chicago P.D. Right now, P.D. is scheduled to air at 10:20 p.m. ET/9:20 p.m. CT. No word as to how that will affect the airing of local news in the Eastern time zone.

Why are Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. delayed tonight?

Both Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. are delayed due to a special address from President Donald Trump. On March 31, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that he would be doing an "address to the nation" the next evening. The speech is set to run at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT, smack dab in the middle of primetime programming.

Is Chicago Med delayed tonight?

No. As Chicago Med comes on before President Trump's speech, it will air as intended at 8:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. CT.

Will the West Coast "One Chicago" episodes be delayed tonight?

Luckily for those of you in the Pacific time zone, you won't need to worry about any of the "One Chicago" shows getting interrupted or delayed. As the president's speech will take place at 6:00 p.m. PT, it should be done well before the primetime lineup kicks off.

This pair leans into breezy, picnic-ready charm with its classic gingham upper — offered in four colorways (light blue, red, pink, or black, all paired with crisp white) that give it that timeless, sun-drenched appeal. The silhouette blends a Mary Jane flat with espadrille influences, featuring a rounded toe, a slim strap across the instep, and a small gold-tone buckle that’s adjustable. 

Along the shoe's base, a braided jute-wrapped sole delivers that signature espadrille texture, reinforced with visible stitching for a handcrafted feel. The flat, textured-rubber outsole keeps it practical for all-day wear in all terrains, from grass to gravel and pavement. Sizes run on the half from women's 5.5 through 10, making it easy to find your perfect fit.

Pairing them with your outfits couldn’t be easier. Lean into the shoes’ soft, vintage charm with airy cotton sundresses. It also looks great with pants like straight-leg jeans or linen capris, and an oversized button-down, half-tucked or worn open over a ribbed tank for that undone, coastal feel. 

For something more polished, try these flats with tailored ankle-length trousers and a fitted knit or a blouse. Skirts work especially well here, too — think, bias-cut midis, tiered prairie styles, or classic A-line minis. Accessory-wise, keep the vintage and textural theme going with woven totes, canvas shoulder bags, delicate jewelry, a hair ribbon, or oversized sunglasses.

Setting money aside for retirement is a huge step towards setting yourself up for success once you leave the workforce. In fact, it's such a big deal that many experts say that it's never too early to start, and every little bit helps.

Keep reading to find out if you're guilty of the retirement misstep that 1 in 4 Americans is now said to be making.

New Report Says People are Pulling Back on Retirement Savings

There's new research from the payroll firm Dayforce suggesting that Americans are reducing the amount they put into their retirement savings. According to a report published on March 30, 2026, Americans' average retirement savings rate dropped to 8.9 percent in 2025.

The 2025 drop is said to be the first decline the firm has noted in the past three years, and the changes appeared to be most significant in those employees who earn between $50,000 and $150,000 a year.

And it's not just the amount of money people have been having withheld from their paychecks and placed into retirement accounts that has decreased, either. The report also suggests that participation rates are down, with fewer people opting to set up a retirement account in the first place.

There was one place where numbers increased, though. According to Dayforce, the number of people taking loans out of their retirement accounts is on the rise. Dayforce's Jason Rahlan spoke with CBS News about the findings, noting that 20 percent of full-time workers took money out of their 401(k) s on loan.

"This should be a warning sign," Rahlan told the publication. "It may be a sign of financial strain."

Should You Stop Contributing to Your Retirement Savings

If you are one of the many folks who have had to pull back due to increased financial strain, you may be wondering whether you're making the right choice. While retirement is never a one-size-fits-all endeavor, it is important to remember that paying your bills and avoiding new debt are huge parts of planning for your future.

If you need to temporarily reduce your retirement contributions to do that, there is nothing inherently wrong with your decision. That said, short-term financial decisions can have a significant impact on your long-term plans, especially if you are close to retirement age. If you are considering this and have concerns, your best bet is to talk to a financial planner or retirement expert to see if this option is the best fit for your personal situation before you make any decisions.

Born on April 1, 1952, in Houston, Texas, O'Toole began her acting career at an early age. After training in dance, she started appearing in television roles in the 1960s, performing in shows such as The Danny Kaye Show, My Three Sons and Gunsmoke.

She followed this debut with One on One (1977) and King of the Gypsies (1978), further showcasing her versatility before her massive mainstream breakthrough in SupermanIII. Her glowing screen presence and undeniable talent set her up for a lifetime of success in the film industry.

Amid the Summer House fallout surrounding West Wilson and Amanda Batula’s relationship, Batula’s estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, says he’s increasingly concerned about the backlash she’s facing.

Cooke and Batula, who announced their separation in January, have remained seemingly supportive of one another. News of Batula’s involvement with Wilson didn’t change that — but the public reaction has.

"I appreciate people checking in, I'm actually really worried about Amanda, if I'm being honest," Cooke told journalist Adam Glyn. "I talked to her before they put the statement out. She gave me a heads up. And I talked to her last night. I understand people have all sorts of opinions, and I'm not justifying any behavior, but from what I'm seeing, she's kinda getting cyberbullied."

He continued, "At the end of the day, West seems to be the kind of guy playing multiple women at the same time." Cooke said that, meanwhile, Batula is being scorched, while Wilson doesn’t appear to be receiving the same level of backlash.

"I just feel bad," he said, adding that she’s well aware of what she did wrong and was "trying to come to terms with it." He added, "She is not well."

Cooke said he began to piece together Batula and Wilson’s relationship over the weekend, as the evidence mounted — though "obviously I was trying to give everybody the benefit of the doubt." While he admits he’s still unclear on the timeline, it has him "second-guess a few things last summer."

"It's a mental mind f--- for me because there's still so much we're watching from the summer," he added. Reflecting on the past, he questioned whether something may have started earlier. "Looking back, a lot of us are looking at his body language, how touchy and handsy he was with her, and I just kinda gave him a hall pass last summer. Candidly, his Watch What Happens and his confessionals in last week's episode, I could not believe that he went there."

Ultimately, Cooke says he’s "frustrated," especially with The Cityset to premiere. While he admits he’s disappointed in Batula, he emphasized concern for her well-being: "hearing her and hearing how unwell she is ... dark thoughts, I just ask people to let off the gas a little bit on the cyberbullying."

Survivor winner Richard Hatch is embroiled in a legal battle over his prize money 26 years after his win.

Hatch, who won the first season of the reality show in 2000, is involved in a lawsuit with the federal government over back taxes on his seven-figure prize.

According to court documents obtained by People, a judge ruled on Mar. 17 that Hatch owes $3,293,471.56, plus "statutory additions from and after May 13, 2024, including interest” that will continue to accrue until the full amount is paid.

With penalties, the amount Hatch owes is more than three times the amount of his winnings total of $1,010,000.

The documents state that this comes from federal income tax liabilities from 2000, 2001, and 2012. The judge declared that the verdict be set as final, allowing “the United States to start to use the Federal Debt Collection Procedure.”

Two days after the judgement was made, Hatch filed an official notice of appeal, notifying the court that he will be challenging the decision in the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. He will be representing himself in the case.

“This appeal will be the first objective review of the facts. I am confident that the appellate court's review of the full record—including evidence that was not adequately addressed below—will result in a just outcome," Hatch said to People.

“I have spent 25 years trying to do the right thing in a complicated situation, and I remain committed to resolving this matter fairly,” he continued. “I have nothing further to say while the appeal is pending.”

This case, which was first filed in 2022, is not the first time Hatch has found himself in legal trouble. In 2006, a jury found him guilty of two counts of tax evasion after failing to report approximately $1.4 million in income—the majority of it connected to Survivor— during the 2000 and 2001 tax years.

He was sentenced to 51 months of incarceration followed by three years of supervised release, and was required to file amended income tax returns for 2000 and 2001 and pay the amounts in full. Hatch did not comply and served an additional nine months in prison in 2011.

The 2022 complaint also alleged that Hatch deeded two properties he owned to his sisterKristin in 2003 and 2005, in an effort to evade federal tax liens he was facing.

"Upon information and belief, following the transfer of the Real Properties from Richard H. Hatch, Jr., to Kristin M. Hatch, Richard H. Hatch, Jr., lived in one or both of the Real Properties for unknown periods of time," the government said in court documents.

"Richard H. Hatch, Jr., transferred record title of the Real Properties to Kristin M. Hatch with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud the creditors of Richard H. Hatch, Jr., including the United States, and thus was fraudulent," the government continued.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) later mailed Hatch a Notice of Deficiency for the unassessed tax liabilities in 2010.

“Despite proper notice and demand, Richard H. Hatch, Jr., failed, neglected, or refused to fully pay the liabilities,” the complaint stated.

Hatch contested the proposed deficiencies and penalties, and also “submitted multiple offers in compromise,” which were denied.

In 2012, the complaint stated that Hatch was “barred and estopped from further contesting these liabilities” after a resolution was reached.

When it comes to the perfect book to curl up with on the sand, Reese Witherspoon knows a thing or two.

The Oscar-winning actress, a voracious reader, leads Reese's Book Club, a popular book club with tons of followers who eagerly await Witherspoon's monthly picks of stories centered around women. In a new list published by Penguin Random House, one of Witherspoon's 2025 picks officially tops the list as one of the "Best Beach Reads to Get Lost In." You can catch up on all of Witherspoon's other 2025 picks here, or learn more about the page-turner below.

Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry

A 2025 romance and historical fiction novel, Great Big Beautiful Life debuted at number one on the New York Times bestseller list.

"Two writers compete for the chance to tell the larger-than-life story of a woman with more than a couple of plot twists up her sleeve in this dazzling and sweeping novel from Emily Henry," the synopsis reads.

Upon sharing the book with her followers as the May 2025 Reese's Book Club pick, members went absolutely wild for the book.

"Great Big Beautiful Life had me dreaming of island sunsets and salty sea air from page one!" one follower shared.

View this post on Instagram What Else Has Emily Henry Written?

If you think the name Emily Henry sounds familiar to you, it's because the author has penned a variety of successful novels, including Funny Story, Happy Place, Book Lovers, People We Meet on Vacation, and Beach Read.

People We Meet on Vacation was even turned into a Netflix movie starring Emily Bader and Tom Blyth. If you're more into "Netflix and Chill" than "Turn the Pages and Chill," check out the trailer below:

Where Does Emily Henry Get Her Inspiration From?

When it comes to heading out on her own beach vacations, Emily Henry doesn't spend her spare time on flights lurking on Facebook like the rest of us. In a recent interview with the NYT's Wirecutter, the author explained that even if an airline offers free in-flight Wi-Fi, she doesn't use it. Instead, she tries to use that uninterrupted time to brainstorm ideas for future projects or to read a novel that really interests her.

“I find flights to be really creatively inspiring,” Henry shared with the NYT. “My two biggest pieces of entertainment when I’m flying: my own brain, and someone else’s brain.”

Good Friday is a religious holiday that recognizes the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. It always falls on the Friday right before Easter Sunday, and this year, Good Friday falls on April 3, 2026. There are a wide number of denominations in the Christian faith that recognize Good Friday with fasting, deep prayer and other special church services.

Despite many practicing Christians' observation of the holiday, Good Friday doesn't warrant a day off from work or school for most. This may have you asking, "Are banks open on Good Friday?" It can get confusing, and if you're planning a Good Friday bank trip, you don't want to show up only for locked bank doors to greet you. 

Good Friday may be an important holiday of the Christian faith, but it isn't observed as a federal holiday. So, what does that mean for last-minute errands to run before your Easter festivities? Don't worry—we're answering all of your burning questions to better help you prepare during Holy Week!

Is Good Friday a Federal Holiday?

The Federal Reserve, which regulates the nation's banking system, observes 11 federal holidays each year—and no, Good Friday isn't one of them. Here are the holidays recognized by the Federal Reserve:

• New Year's Day
• Martin Luther King Jr. Day
• Presidents' Day
• Memorial Day
• Juneteenth
• Independence Day
• Labor Day
• Columbus Day
• Veterans Day
• Thanksgiving Day
• Christmas Day

Since Good Friday is not a federal holiday, public school students will have classes to attend and homework assignments to turn in that day if they're not on spring break already. Government employees will go to work. Court will be in session. Mail will run. Banks will largely be open.

Notice, we said that banks will largely be open. There are always exceptions to the rules! Yes, the federal government of the United States recognizes certain holidays.

• Connecticut 
• Delaware
• Florida
• Hawaii
• Indiana
• Kentucky

Actor Constance Zimmer, 55, has played some incredibly strong women in her career—from Dana Gordon on Entourage to Quinn King on UnReal. And despite the fact that she's currently in two high-profile roles, playing Dana Berg in The Lincoln Lawyer and Ann Messina Freeman, mom of Carolyn Bessette, in Ryan Murphy’s Love Story, she's not taking roles like this for granted. What she is doing is speaking out and demanding more—more roles like this for women over 40, 50, and older, more storytelling about their lives—and for reasons that are much bigger that Zimmer herself.

"It feels so great," says Zimmer about her two current roles in a recent interview with New Beauty. "I just feel so grateful, and I'm trying to stay in the moment because it doesn't happen like this all the time."

At the same time, Zimmer uses her voice and her platform, even in an interview with a beauty-focused mag, to cut right to ageism and the ongoing obsession with youth in Hollywood. Even though more and more meaningful roles for women over 40+ are showing up, there's still more room to grow.

"Where are the Devil Wears Prada, Meryl Streep characters that are owning their age, owning their power? They're the most powerful they've ever been in their life because they have less f**ks to give, if you just want to say it that bluntly."

It's clear Zimmer isn't simply concerned about nabbing better roles for herself or other women in Hollywood. Representation matters far beyond a single role in a film. Zimmer explains how these portrayals help validate all women's lives and challenge stereotypes.

She says she wants to "show women of a certain age that you matter, and that your stories matter, and that this is so beyond what your looks are."

For Zimmer, it's also about taking the fear out of aging for everyone. "I want to make sure that I'm leaving a legacy of storytelling and meaning for women that get to this age that aren't afraid of this age," she says. "Nobody should be afraid of aging unless they are not prepared for it."

"I want to help other women get to this age with power—not with feeling afraid of it."

Zimmer promoted this interview via Instagram, writing, "I got to talk about my new role as advocate for the lack of roles for women over 50 when they are in the most empowering time of their lives yet we don’t show that on any screen. I’m so grateful to be portraying 2 fierce females, Dana Berg and Ann Messina Freeman, who are not afraid to speak their mind wisely and firmly because that’s what you do when you don’t have anymore F***s to give or time to waste. There I said it. Thank you for the time and this chat."

Luke Combs may be able to hang with the best of them now, but his first introduction to one country music legend didn't go so smoothly.

Over 10 years ago, the "Beautiful Crazy" singer met Blake Shelton for the first time when he was invited to a Mississippi farm owned by music executive Colin Reed—but the weekend didn't turn out quite how Combs had planned.

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

Not only was Combs the "new guy" at the time, but he also ended up feeling ill, and therefore spent the weekend nursing an upset stomach while Shelton and the rest of the attendees partied on.

"Here I am, chugging the Imodium on the toilet," he recalled during a private event last month, as reported by PEOPLE. "It was less than ideal. I remember thinking, like, 'Well, this is it. My career's over.' I finally got invited to a cool thing, and I'm the weird guy in the room that's sick."

At one point during the three-day trip, Combs was able to pull himself together enough to join the crew for a campfire, where everyone, including Shelton, was playing some of the biggest songs from their careers.

When it was Combs turn to play a song, he told Shelton, "I don't even have a record deal. I've never had a No. 1, but if I get a record deal, this song I'm going to play is a song I've written."

He then began to play "Hurricane," his debut single that would later become his first No. 1 hit.

"Hurricane" was released through Columbia Nashville in 2016, and it hit No. 1 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart in May 2017. It was the first of several No. 1 hits from Combs, including "Beautiful Crazy," "She Got the Best of Me," "Fast Car" and several others.

There's a reason Jif remains one of the most instantly recognizable brands of peanut butter on the market today.

Like many of their mainstream competitors, the peanut butter brand proudly delivers rich, creamy peanut-based spread ideal for sandwiches, fruits and other sweet treats, leaving little reason to wonder why it's so avidly popular today.

As great as Jif's regular peanut butter spread undoubtedly is, Allrecipes has shared the news that iconic brand is set to expand its product lineup with a brand-new, first-of-its-kind flavor.

As the outlet reported, Jif is officially rolling out a new crunchy version of their fan-favorite Peanut Butter & Chocolate Spread.

As fans of the original product might remember, Jif released their Peanut Butter & Chocolate Spread back in 2024. Originally offered via a traditional creamy spread, the mixture combines the tastes of signature peanut butter with flavorful chocolate, ensuring a combination most shoppers instantly fell in love with.

"Jif Peanut Butter & Chocolate Flavored Spread combines the irresistible deliciousness of Jif Peanut Butter that our fans love with the sweet flavor of chocolate, striking the perfect balance of salty and sweet," said Nicole Massey, Vice President of Marketing at the J.M. Smucker Co., at the time of the product's release. "It's lower in sugar, making it a permissible indulgence that can transform a simple snack into a mouthwatering treat in no time at all." 

With their new version of the spread, Jif manages to deliver the same peanut butter and chocolate-infused taste as their initial product, this time with the added benefit of roasted peanut chunks in each and every bite.

If that weren't already exciting enough, the new spread is also made with 50% less sugar than Nutella hazelnut spread, as well as roughly 50% less sugar than Nutella Peanut.

The new spread officially arrives this spring to major retail stores across the nation.

When cult expert and researcher Christine Marie and her videographer husband, Tolga Katas, decided to secretly document the aftermath of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) following the imprisonment of former leader Warren Jeffs, they didn’t expect to uncover the horrific child sex abuse hidden beneath the surface.

That discovery is the basis of the upcoming Netflix four-part documentary, Trust Me: The False Prophet, streaming on the platform beginning April 8.

Per Netflix, the documentary, which includes the secret footage recorded by Marie and Katas, “chronicles the rise of Samuel Bateman, the self-proclaimed heir to Jeffs, as seen through the eyes of the couple who infiltrated his inner circle as they gain Bateman’s trust and uncover evidence…revealing the depths of his control and the women brave enough to speak up.”

The director of the documentary, Emmy-award winner Rachel Dretzin, also helmed another Mormon-based docuseries for the streamer with 2025’s Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey.

Dretzin told Netflix’s Tudum that her involvement in the project began after meeting with Marie and Katas, and seeing their disturbing footage documenting the ongoing child sexual abuse of young girls.

“Trust Me offers intimate access to a normally closed world — and in doing so, I hope it exposes both the violence that enforced secrecy enables and what it takes to tell the truth when everything is at stake,” she said. 

“What these women did matters far beyond their community. It is a blueprint for how to dismantle even the most entrenched systems of abuse,” Dretzin added.

Polygamist Bateman, who had more than 20 wives, which reportedly included one of his own daughters in addition to several other minors, was indicted in 2022 due to engaging in "group sex" with some of the minor girls and watching them be sexually abused, according to the FBI affidavit obtained by The Washington Post. The minor girls ranged in age from 11 to 16. 

He is currently serving a 50-year prison sentence after entering a guilty plea to conspiracy to transport a minor for sex and conspiracy to commit kidnapping, per PEOPLE.

Jamie Lee Curtis is opening up about one of the most painful chapters of her life, along with the heartbreaking timing that made it even harder to bear.

The actress, 67, appeared on Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson's podcast IMO on Wednesday, April 1, where she emotionally reflected on the murders of her close friends Rob and Michele Reiner. What made the moment even more devastating for Curtis was the date—the couple were killed on December 14, 2025, the same day as Curtis's daughter Annie Guest's birthday. "Rob and Michelle are her godparents," Curtis told listeners, her voice breaking in the process.

Curtis revealed that Annie, 39, gave birth to her first child the very next week, a collision of joy and sorrow that the Oscar winner described as "life on life's harshest terms and life on life's most beautiful, perfect terms." Curtis said, "My beautiful daughter who loved [the Reiners]—as we all did—managed to be able to metabolize her grief and sadness, as we all have had to do."

Curtis was among the first to publicly mourn the couple following their deaths. In a statement to Variety at the time, she and husband Christopher Guest described themselves as "numb and sad and shocked about the violent, tragic deaths of [their] dear friends," adding, "Our ONLY focus and care right now is for their children and immediate families and we will offer all support possible to help them. We have lost great friends. Please give us time to grieve."

Rob was 78 and Michele 70 when they were found dead in their Los Angeles home, both victims of multiple sharp force injuries, according to the LA County Medical Examiner's Office. Their deaths were ruled a homicide, and the following day, their middle child Nick Reiner, 32, was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. 

Nick, who had struggled with drug addiction and was diagnosed with schizophrenia prior to the killings, faces life in prison without parole or the death penalty if convicted. His next court appearance is scheduled for April 29.

Actor Orlando Bloom is a pretty private person when it comes to his kids. But the father of two recently shared a series of sweet snapshots on Instagram, including pics of his daughter Daisy. And fans can’t get enough of the daddy-daughter post.

Who are Orlando Bloom’s children?

While moviegoers might know him as Legolas from The Lord of the Rings or Pirates of the Caribbean’s Will Turner, two very special kiddos know Orlando Bloom as “dad.” The actor has two children—Flynn Christopher Blanchard Copeland Bloom (born January 2011) with ex Miranda Kerr and Daisy Dove Bloom (born August 2020) with ex Katy Perry. 

How does Orlando Bloom protect his children’s privacy?

It isn’t easy growing up in the spotlight. With the paparazzi at every turn, celeb parents have a tricky time keeping their kiddos’ identities private. But famous fathers, like Bloom, have a way of sharing a few special moments on social media without exposing their children to the public. Instead of showing his daughter’s face, Bloom covers it with an emoji and uses angles that completely obscure her identity. In other words, she’s got a heart (or a similar graphic) over her face almost all of the time. And when he doesn’t use this strategy, you can only view the little girl from the back. 

What photos did Orlando Bloom recently share?

Bloom just posted an absolutely adorable carousel of photos and videos on Instagram with the caption, “love language lately.” Of course, you might not even know the post includes pics of his daughter unless you keep looking. The first in the series is a shirtless photo of Bloom walking in the snow. Yes, the snow.

A few photos in, he adds a funny FaceTime screenshot of a Daisy-daddy call. He follows this with a selfie leaning on his car and another snowy shot (this time with his shirt on). A few more pictures later, the actor adds a sandy beach scene with Daisy, followed by a quick clip of himself holding the five-year-old, with the waves crashing in the background. 

But wait…it gets even cuter. The doting dad includes a whiteboard drawing (presumably by Daisy) with squiggles, scribbles, and the word, “DAD.” He also features a photo of Daisy’s school art project, a portrait collage with the label, “When I am 100, I will be very, very old! I’ll probably…watch TV and drink soup in bed!” And what do fans think? One commented, “Soup in ned is a love language!” And we agree.

Sherilyn Fenn was a staple of the '90s thanks to her role on David Lynch's iconic series, Twin Peaks. But in the present day, she looks absolutely incredible with full gray hair.

Fenn, 61, skyrocketed to fame in the role of Audrey Horne on the show, which boasted a significant cult following. She also garnered serious acclaim thanks to roles in films like Wild at Heart and Of Mice and Men. Known for her dark, brown hair and sultry style, Fenn was the dream of many TV fans throughout the '90s.

In the present day, Fenn tends to fly under the radar a bit more. But on her Instagram account, the actress shows the world she's looking better than ever. In a new photo, Fenn went full glam and sported red lips, strong brows, and a stunning head of gray hair. We love the powerful look from this beauty!

"🦋💙🙏🏽It’s new day🙏🏽💙🦋," the actress captioned the selfie.

What is Sherilyn Fenn Up to These Days?

Fenn has tackled some new acting roles in recent years. She appeared in 4 episodes of Goliath in 2019, and had a recurring role on S.W.A.T. from 2017 to 2021.

What Has Fenn Said About Losing David Lynch?

Back in October 2023 at the Hollywood Show, Fenn spoke about her close relationship with the legendary director, who passed away in January at age 78.

“I love David,” Fenn said, according to Remind Magazine. “He has the best coffee at his house, he has David Lynch coffee. I bring him over sometimes homemade tomato soup, and things that he likes, for his birthday … I love him very much. He saw something in me that nobody saw at that point. And wrote me a character that changed my life.”

The struggle to decorate for every holiday and store it all without your home turning into a year-round storage unit is so very real. I want to go full Easter mode—bunnies on the table, pastel everything, maybe a cute little themed moment in every room. But then reality hits: where is all of this going once the holiday is over? My garage is already doing the absolute most, with bins of Christmas decorations stacked to the ceiling like some kind of festive Jenga.

So finding Easter decor that's cute, functional and somehow folds into itself so it doesn't take up precious storage space for 11 months of the year is thrilling. It's the kind of piece that lets you go a little extra for the holiday and not immediately regret it when you pack everything away, because decorating should feel joyful, not like a storage crisis waiting to happen.

On each tier, you should be able to comfortably fit things like a handful of tea sandwiches (cut into halves or quarters), scones or a mix of cookies. It's also perfect for cupcakes (usually 2–4 per tier, depending on their size) or a small cluster of brownies. For savory, think deviled eggs, mini quiches or sliders (though those might be a tighter squeeze).

Dollar Tree is quickly becoming my go-to stop for affordable tableware. It has some really lovely stoneware bowls with a Mediterranean vibe in stock right now. And for those lazy afternoons enjoying the fresh air on your porch or patio, its spring-themed beverage pitchers are a total win (and only $1.50 each).

While Amazon's Big Spring Sale has technically drawn to a close, there's still time to take advantage of major savings on home essentials — especially if you're looking to update your bedroom with a modern, functional touch. 

The Lulive Fluted Charging Station Nightstand 2-Piece Set, now available for just $110, is a standout pick for anyone seeking a blend of style, convenience, and everyday practicality.

This set of two nightstands has quickly become a customer favorite, with dozens of glowing five-star reviews. The natural oak veneer set is on sale for just $110, bringing it down to $55 per nightstand. You can also get these nightstands in black, walnut, or white for $130, and in dark gray or grayish white for $150. 

All color variations feature a fluted design that brings a refined, contemporary look to any bedroom. The subtle vertical grooves on the front panels add texture and visual interest, helping these tables stand out from the typical bedside furniture.

If you're looking for a full decor overhaul, the brand also has a matching fluted buffet sideboard cabinet on sale for $110 and a fluted entryway console table for $100 right now. 

One of the biggest draws of this set is the built-in charging station on each nightstand. With two AC outlets and two USB ports, you can easily charge your phone, tablet, smartwatch, or bedside lamp without extra extension cords or adapters. The neatly tucked-away power strip helps keep your nightstand surface clutter-free and your devices always within reach, making it highly practical for everyday use.

Storage is another strong point. Each nightstand measures 17.7 inches wide, 14.94 inches deep, and 23.7 inches high, making it a comfortable height for most beds and offering generous space without dominating the room. The single spacious drawer is ideal for keeping personal items like books, glasses, or medications out of sight. At the same time, the open cubby below provides easy access to nighttime essentials or display items.

Durability hasn't been overlooked, either. The Lulive nightstands are crafted from thick, sturdy wood that's easy to clean and designed to support your essentials for years. Each table can hold up to 110 pounds, making them suitable for everything from lamps and alarm clocks to heavier décor pieces.

Assembly is designed to be straightforward, with clearly numbered parts and step-by-step instructions included in the package. Most buyers reported that the process is manageable, even for those with limited furniture-assembly experience.

Shoppers consistently highlighted the nightstands' elegant appearance and practical features. Many note that the fluted design adds a "functional and stylish" touch of sophistication that makes the set feel more expensive than it is. The built-in charging station receives particular praise for its convenience, with many saying it's "perfect for small bedrooms" where outlet access may be limited.

"Really great quality," one shopper wrote. "The electric works perfectly. Size is great. Really, really love the look of it in our room."
