Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are speaking out for the first time since their son Joseph was arrested for alleged child molestation.

“Jim Bob and Michelle are heartbroken over this entire situation,” a spokesperson for the Duggar family told Us Weeklyin a statement on Monday, Mar. 30. “Right now, they are focused on loving their family and helping Kendra and her children during this difficult time. They are praying for the victim. They ask for privacy and appreciate the kind words and prayers offered by so many.”

On Wednesday, Mar. 18, Joseph was arrested and charged for Lewd and Lascivious Behavior, involving unlawful sexual activity with a minor. Two days later, Joseph and his wife Kendra were hit with additional child endangerment charges.

This is not the first Duggar child to be arrested either. In 2021, Josh Duggar—the oldest of Jim Bob and Michelle's 19 children—was convicted of possessing child sexual abuse material and sentenced to over 12 years in prison.

According to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office Facebook, investigators were contacted on Mar. 18 by a police detective in Tontitown, Arkansas—where the Duggar family lives—about a report of past sexual abuse.

During a forensic interview, the 14-year-old victim disclosed incidents involving Joseph during a family vacation in Panama City Beach, Florida, when she was 9. 

According to the sheriff’s office, the victim reported that Joseph “repeatedly asked her to sit on his lap, sit beside him on a couch, and cover them with a blanket.” Joseph then allegedly made inappropriate contact with the victim and rubbed his hands on her thighs.

The victim said that Joseph eventually apologized, and that the alleged misconduct stopped after the apology. 

Investigators discovered the victim’s father confronted Joseph about these incidents on Mar. 17, 2026, with Joseph admitting his actions to the victim’s father and to Tontitown Detectives.

Joseph was arrested out of state and faces charges of Lewd and Lascivious Behavior, including Molestation of a victim under 12 and conduct by a person 18 or older.

During his first court appearance, Joseph did not enter a plea and waived his right to an extradition hearing, meaning he agreed to be transferred to Florida to face charges.

On Friday, Mar. 20, police in Tontitown, Arkansas confirmed via a press release that they’ve filed child endangerment charges against Joseph and Kendra—unrelated to Joseph's charges in Florida.

The couple are each facing four counts of second-degree endangering the welfare of a minor, as well as four counts of second-degree false imprisonment.

Joseph and Kendra have yet to comment publicly on any of the allegations. The couple have been married since 2017 and share four young children.

Even some of the greatest songs are met with a bit of drama, and that's exactly what happened to a hit track by American girl group The Chiffons. In 1963, their debut song, written by Ronnie Mack, hit No.1 on the charts 63 years ago and entered a legal battle with a Beatles member.

Out of the Bronx, New York, in 1960, The Chiffons made a name for themselves during the era. The group was originally made up of a trio of schoolmates consisting of lead singer Judy Craig, backed by Patricia Bennett and Barbara Lee. They were discovered by Mack after hearing them harmonise in their school lunch room, and the rest was history.

They released their debut track, "He's So Fine," in January 1963 with the doo-wop band and production company group the Tokens as their backing instrumentals. After the song was recorded, Capitol Records, where the Tokens were house producers, didn't like the track and claimed it was too simple. The Tokens instead decided to shop around the track to different labels before landing on Laurie Records, which immediately jumped on the opportunity.

"He's So Fine" became infamous for its "Doo-lang doo-lang doo-lang" background vocal and soon entered the Billboard Hot 100 charts at No. 1. The song entered the charts on March 30 of that year, held its position for four straight weeks, and went No. 1 on the soul singles chart. Billboard also later ranked the track as one of the Top 5 songs to have been released that year, and it was included in the list of the 100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time.

The Chiffons' hit track also led to a plagiarism lawsuit in early February 1971 involving Beatles lead guitarist George Harrison. Bright Tunes Music Corporation filed a lawsuit against Harrison for plagiarism, saying his track "My Sweet Child" mimicked the song's tune. The courts ultimately ruled in The Chiffons' favor and that the Beatles guitarist committed "subconscious" plagiarism.

Harrison was ordered to pay a heavy $587,000 by purchasing Bright Tunes from Allen Klein. Klein was his onetime manager and became a plaintiff due to his purchase of the label. In 1997, The Chiffons tried to make use of the press around the lawsuit with their recorded version of "Mu Sweet Lord," with Harrison releasing "This Song" in protest of the suit.

"He's So Fine" has since been covered by artists like Jody Miller and was featured in the soundtrack album of the 1979 film Quadrophenia.

Turns out, even Taylor Swift isn't immune to a trademark dispute—and the person suing her might just have a case.

A professional Las Vegas showgirl named Maren Flagg, who performs under the name Maren Wade, has filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against Swift over her most recent album, The Life of a Showgirl. 

Wade claims she has spent the past decade building her brand around "Confessions of a Showgirl"—a column she began writing for the Las Vegas Weekly in 2014, which she later expanded into a live show and touring production. She trademarked the phrase in 2015.

According to the lawsuit, which was obtained by Rolling Stone on Monday, March 30, Wade argued that the similarity between her mark and Swift's album title is hard to miss. The suit reads, "Both share the same structure, the same dominant phrase, and the same overall commercial impression. Both are used in overlapping markets and are directed at the same consumers."

And the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office appears to agree—at least partially. Swift's team filed a trademark application for The Life of a Showgirl last August, but in November the office issued a partial refusal citing a likelihood of confusion with Wade's existing mark. Swift's application has since been suspended, with the refusal expected to be made final once proceedings resume. Despite all of this, Wade's lawsuit claims Swift's team never sought her consent and has continued using the mark commercially.

There's a twist, though. A scroll through Wade's social media tells a different story about her initial reaction. Her Instagram was filled with posts using Swift's music and the hashtag #LifeOfAShowgirl, and a podcast cover she teased last summer even featured a mint-green color scheme reminiscent of Swift's album art. But Wade has been silent on social media since October.

Her attorney gave the outlet the following statement: "Maren spent more than a decade building Confessions of a Showgirl. She registered it. She earned it. When Taylor Swift's team applied to register The Life of a Showgirl, the Trademark Office refused, finding Swift's mark confusingly similar. We have great respect for Swift's talent and success, but trademark law exists to ensure that creators at all levels can protect what they've built. That's what this case is about."

It's been a busy stretch for Swift off the legal pages too. Just this past weekend, she was spotted at Paul McCartney's show at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, where she narrowly avoided a run-in with ex-boyfriend John Mayer by slipping out through a separate exit. The two were romantically linked in 2009—when Swift was 19 and Mayer was 32—and Swift reportedly wrote "Dear John" about the relationship.

Megan Collins, a critically acclaimed author on the rise in the thriller genre, released her latest, Cross Your Heart, in January 2025. And according to the International Thriller Writers Awards, it’s the best thrill ride between two covers you can get your hands on right now.

We got the tip from both The New York Times, which gave the maestro of suspense three solid recs in a single month, as well as Five Books, a website that sorts through millions of shelves and oodles of expert advice to bring readers the best five books for any topic, theme, or superlative. Seeing as how Collins has been called the “mistress of dysfunctional family fiction” and a “masterful thriller writer,” it’s no wonder her latest release is tops.   

View this post on Instagram

About an unlucky-in-love heart transplant survivor who becomes emotionally entangled with her donor’s husband, Cross My Heart is a twisty genre tale with a killer tagline: “​​She has his wife’s heart; the one she wants is his.” However, as Rosie falls further down this rabbit hole of love, obsession, and desperately sought happily-ever-afters, she learns the death of her donor might be a lot darker than she originally thought.

Collins, a Simon & Schuster author, has built a “terrific” (per the NYTimes) reputation in the genre with her previous releases: The Winter Sister (2019), Behind the Red Door (2020), The Family Plot (2021), and Thicker Than Water (2023). A bestselling author from Connecticut, she received her Creative Writing and English degree at Wheaton College, then turned around and taught creative writing at universities in her home state. 

The other novels rounding out Five Books’ recommendations and the ITW award winners are ZigZag Girl, by Ruth Knafo Setton; The Burning Library by Gilly Macmillan; The Locked Ward, by Sarah Pekkanen; and So Happy Together, by Olivia Worley.

The ITW is an "honorary society of authors, both fiction and nonfiction, who write books broadly classified as 'thrillers.' This would include (but isn’t limited to) such subjects as murder mystery, detective, suspense, horror, supernatural, action, espionage, true crime, war, adventure, and myriad similar subject areas," the organization's website states.

Boy Meets World alum William Daniels shared his secret to staying young as he counts down the hours to his 99th birthday.

“Hard to believe I’m turning 99 tomorrow!” the actor captioned a Monday, March 30, X post. “I’m so grateful that staying connected with my fans has been so fulfilling in my later years.”

While Daniels is currently “taking a pause on long distance travel,” meaning he’s unable to attend in-person events at the moment, he reminded his social media followers that he’s “still available on Cameo,” which allows fans to connect with him via personalized video messages.  

In his X video, Daniels—who will celebrate his 99th birthday on Tuesday, March 31—credited his interactions with fans for helping him feel youthful.

“Over the years, I’ve enjoyed connecting with fans and friends through Cameo and at events. Thank you for keeping me young,” he said. “Keep it up! Class dismissed.”

— William Daniels (@MrBillDaniels) March 30, 2026

Daniels earned his place in television history with his iconic role as the wise teacher and mentor Mr. Feeny on Boy Meets World. For seven seasons, which aired on ABC from September 1993 to May 2000, he starred alongside Ben Savage (Cory Matthews), Will Friedle (Eric Matthews), Rider Strong (Shawn Hunter), Danielle Fishel (Topanga Lawrence), Betsy Randle (Amy Matthews), William Russ (Alan Matthews) and Lily Nicksay/Lindsay Ridgeway (Morgan Matthews) on the coming-of-age sitcom.  

Beyond Boy Meets World, Daniels is known for his tenure on St. Elsewhere from 1982 to 1988, his voiceover work on Knight Rider from 1982 to 1986 and films such as 1967’s The Graduate, 1967’s Two for the Road and 1972’s 1776. His most recent onscreen acting credit was a 2017 episode of Girl Meets World.

In March 2025, Daniels reflected on the enduring legacy of his Boy Meets World character.

“I’m very aware of the respect people have for my character, George Feeny. I hear it at conventions, in Cameo requests,” he told People at the time. “So I hope to use that authority as a teacher and mentor to help protect young people.”

In celebration of his 98th birthday in 2025, Daniels looked back on his lengthy acting career and shared his hopes for the year ahead.

“Well, you have to be pleased, and I certainly am,” he told People. “And I hope I’m around a little longer and we’ll do it again next year.”

Later in 2025, Daniels made a rare public appearance during an Octoberepisode of Dancing With the Stars, joining Fishel, 44, on the dance floor as she and her partner, Pasha Pashkov, performed a routine dedicated to her Boy Meets World co-star.

“I don’t think I would have been the professional that I am [without William Daniels],” Fishel said in a confessional at the time. “This dance is for you, Mr. Feeny. Thank you for always showing up even when the cameras stopped rolling.”

Daniels has been married to actress Bonnie Bartlett—who will be 97 in June—since June 1951. The couple are parents of sons Michael and Robert and have four grandkids.  

A new wave of tension is building between rock legends Richie Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi after a simple social media exchange quickly turned into a viral fan-fueled controversy.

The situation began when Jon Bon Jovi posted an inspirational quote on X. What seemed like a routine message took a dramatic turn when a fan replied, saying the band is “NOT BON JOVI” without Sambora.

Sambora didn’t ignore the comment. Instead, he reposted it the same day, instantly drawing attention from fans and reigniting long-standing debates about his absence from the band.

The guitarist went further by amplifying similar fan reactions. One widely shared post read: “Bon Jovi without Richie Sambora is like Guns N’ Roses without Slash, Aerosmith without Joe Perry, or The Beatles without John Lennon.” 

Thank you Rock History….i appreciate you…RS https://t.co/vv4LZCH7iz

— RICHIE SAMBORA (@TheRealSambora) March 27, 2026

The reposts quickly spread across social platforms, with fans taking sides. Some agreed with the sentiment, arguing that Sambora’s guitar work and vocals were essential to the band’s identity. Others defended the current lineup, pointing out that Bon Jovi has continued to perform and evolve over the years.

Sambora has previously said, “To me there are no sides,” when discussing his relationship with the band and its supporters, according to Loud Wire. 

The renewed tension comes at a crucial time. Bon Jovi is preparing for its Bon Jovi Forever tour in 2026, marking the band’s first major tour in nearly a decade.

Sambora, one of the band’s original members since 1983, will not be part of the tour.

His departure in 2013 during the Because We Can tour remains one of the most talked-about moments in the band’s history. At the time, the split was sudden, leaving fans shocked.

In later interviews, Sambora explained his decision, saying it was due to personal issues and creative differences. Reflecting on it years later, People revealed that he admitted in the 2024 documentary Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story , “I don’t regret leaving ... I regret how I did it.”

Jon Bon Jovi, meanwhile, has shared his own feelings about the breakup. Speaking on a podcast, he said, “My heartbreak with him is the way he walked out on us,” adding that it took years before Sambora returned to apologize in person.

Despite both artists expressing respect for each other publicly, they are no longer in regular contact.

With the 2026 tour approaching, fans are once again asking whether the band can truly move forward without one of its most iconic members.

For now, neither Sambora nor Jon Bon Jovi has addressed the latest online activity.

Brooks Nader has a new man in her life, and he happens to be a Golden Globe-winning movie star.

The Love Thy Nader star and Sports Illustrated model was spotted stepping out with Rocketman actor Taron Egerton on March 28 for what appeared to be a very cozy date night in Santa Monica. The pair had dinner at Capo Steakhouse before heading to Shutters on the Beach for drinks, where they were photographed walking arm-in-arm and packing on the PDA.

What We Know About Their Connection

Sources tell multiple outlets that the March 28 outing was far from a first date. Nader, 29, and Egerton, 36, have reportedly been on more than five dates together, including a movie screening earlier that same week. Onlookers described the pair as looking "infatuated" during their night out.

Their Past Relationships

Before sparking things up with Egerton, Nader dated her Dancing With the Stars Season 33 partner Gleb Savchenko on and off for seven months before they split for good last April. Prior to that, she was married to Billy Haire for nearly five years before divorcing him in May 2024. Nader was also rumored to have romantic connections with tennis stars Carlos Alcaraz andJannik Sinner last year.

As for Egerton, the Welsh actor was previously in a relationship with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.star Chloe Bennet.

Egerton is best known for his breakout role as Elton John in the 2019 biopic Rocketman, which earned him a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy. He has also starred in the Kingsman franchise and recently appeared in the Apple TV+ thriller Tetris. The 36-year-old has largely kept his personal life out of the spotlight in recent years, making this very public outing all the more notable.

Neither Nader nor Egerton has publicly addressed the romance rumors, but the photos from their Santa Monica evening speak for themselves.

On March 30, 1978, an iconic episode of The Waltons aired that became a key episode of the series. Ellen Corby, who played Grandma Esther Walton, returned to the series for the first time after having a serious stroke.

"Grandma Comes Home" was that episode, and it was a true tearjerker.

As former The Waltons director Ralph Senensky wrote on his website, Ralph's Cinema Talk, Corby's stroke happened after he had worked with her on the episode titled "The Pony Cart," which aired during Season 5 in December 1976.

According to ReMIND Magazine in July 2025, the cast and crew became concerned while filming the next episode, because the reliable Corby did not show up. Will Greer, who played Grandpa Zebulon Walton, went with producers to check on her and subsequently rushed her to the hospital.

The National Aphasia Association shared that Corby had to convince the show that she was capable of returning to her role. She had impaired speech and movement, including aphasia. In bringing her back, The Waltons wrote in that Grandma also had a stroke.

What viewers saw of Grandma on The Waltons was somewhat more limited in speaking ability than what Corby could do at the time. The emotional challenges, however, were very real.

The stroke left Corby needing "intense therapy to regain her speech" for more than a year, Senensky noted. "Grandma Comes Home" was a script that touched on details of Corby's real-life journey.

He wrote that both Corby's return and that of Grandma "was an event. It was a theatrical entrance that needed to be set up. And it was a double event."

"Not only was Grandma returning to Walton's Mountain, Ellen Corby was returning to The Waltons," Senensky explained.

Production carefully planned the full week they were given for filming to accommodate Corby in her return. She could not speak much, but Senensky quickly discovered that she fully comprehended all that was going on around her.

That specific episode earned Corby an Emmy nomination. She had already won three for her work on The Waltons. However, that nomination was clearly something special given the situation.

Sadly, "Grandma Comes Home" became an especially iconic episode for another reason. The scene at the end with Corby and Geer was the last that the two ever shared.

Geer died in April 1978, and Grandpa's death was incorporated into the Season 7 premiere of The Waltons, titled "The Empty Nest."

The episode "Grandma Comes Home" of The Waltons was groundbreaking for its time, and would likely still be considered groundbreaking now.

Along with winter holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, EasterSunday is a time for friends and family to gather around the table (and maybe even go hunting for Easter eggs after the meal, especially if there are young children involved). While every family has its own assortment of traditional dishes, there's often another traditional element to a decorated table: the Easter-flower centerpiece.

Since most of us are more than ready to send the winter chill packing, the Easter centerpiece gives us a chance to celebrate the bright colors (yellow, purple, pink, white and more) in the unique, fragrant flowers of spring. Here are dozens of flowers to consider for your Easter dinner centerpiece, or a gift to or from the hostess. There are also a few that you can see on a walk because they're in full, majestic bloom around Easter. 

If you're not hosting an Easter gathering this year, a floral arrangement can also dress up your office space, decorate a church sanctuary or brighten a friend's day when you hand-deliver it as a gift. We hope our 25 favorite Easter flowers inspire you.

While her Officecharacter Jan Levinson may be one of her most iconic roles, actress Melora Hardin doesn't miss filming the beloved NBCsitcom.

During an appearance on a March 2026 episode of Still Here Hollywood Podcast w/ Steve Kmetko, Hardin noted that she played Jan, Michael Scott's (Steve Carell) boss and eventual love interest, throughout all nine seasons of The Office, which ended in 2013. She shared, however, that she doesn't miss appearing on The Office because she doesn't dwell on her past works.

"I wouldn't say I miss it because I'm just not that kind of person. I'm kind of, like, happy wherever I am, usually," said Hardin during the podcast interview.

She also said that she appreciates that The Office still has a strong fandom, largely in thanks to it being available on streaming services.

"[I'm] thrilled that I got to be a part of it. It's a show that people are still watching that it's still alive and still very modern and very of the times. It's one of the most incredible things about streaming," said Hardin. "As I said, as a younger person, you know, if you did a pilot and it didn't get picked up or it ran for, you know, a year, it went to the shelf and that was that. Or you made a movie that went straight to video, that was that. You know, you didn't get this like long life of generations of people that have now enjoyed The Office and that's just so exciting."

She noted, however, that she has "done so many exciting things since" The Office ended.

"I've moved on and done so many exciting, wonderful things and The Office has been part of making some of those things possible. Opening some of those doors and making me more recognizable and more famous so that I get more opportunities really to work with other incredible people," said Hardin during the podcast episode.

After The Office wrapped up production, Hardin went on to star in several popular shows, like Transparent, The Bold Type, and A Million Little Things, as reported by IMDb. During the Still Here Hollywood Podcast w/ Steve Kmetko interview, Hardin shared what type of project she'd like to take on next.

"I would like to be on a show that is already running and a success uh where they're adding in an interesting character.," said the Monk actress. "I think I would like just to be doing something that I know is going to go for a while or that's got some legs."

The doctors of Grey Sloan Memorial are scrubbing back in. Again.

ABC has officially renewed Grey's Anatomy for a 23rd season, further cementing its status as the longest-running primetime medical drama in television history, a record it has held since 2019. The pickup was confirmed on March 30 by the network as part of its 2026-27 season lineup.

Who's Coming Back and Who's Not

The renewal comes with a bittersweet twist for longtime fans.Kevin McKiddand Kim Raver, who have played Owen Hunt and Teddy Altman for a combined 27 seasons between them, are exiting the series after the Season 22 finale. Their departure marks one of the biggest cast shakeups the show has seen in years.

As for who's staying, Grey's veterans Chandra Wilson (Bailey), James Pickens Jr. (Richard), Camilla Luddington (Jo), Caterina Scorsone (Amelia) and Chris Carmack (Link) are all believed to have another year on their current contracts. Ellen Pompeo, who has been with the show since its 2005 premiere and remains an executive producer, is also expected to continue her scaled-back presence as Meredith Grey.

Pompeo has been candid about why she'll never fully walk away. "The show was streamed more than a billion times in 2024," she told El Pais. "If I were to walk away completely, everybody gets to make money from my hard work for 20 years and I wouldn't make any money."

What's Ahead for Season 23

The episode count for Season 23 has not been announced, with ABC leaving the order TBD for now. The series, created by Shonda Rhimes, has aired over 460 episodes since its premiere on March 27, 2005, making it one of the most prolific dramas in broadcast TV history.

The renewal also comes on the heels of an emotional Season 22, which featured a tribute montage honoring Eric Dane and his beloved character Mark Sloan. Dane passed away in February 2026 after revealing his ALS diagnosis in 2025.

For fans who've stuck with Meredith and the gang through plane crashes, hospital explosions, a pandemic and more heartbreak than any one hospital should legally be allowed to endure, Season 23 is proof that Grey Sloan Memorial isn't closing its doors anytime soon.

Tommy Hilfiger just announced Travis Kelce's next career move.

35 minutes after midnight on Monday, the iconic fashion house announced on X that Travis Kelce will now serve as the brand's newest global ambassador and creative collaborator.

"known for his presence both on and off the field, he brings a new perspective to timeless american style, blending confidence, individuality and a modern point of view," the brand wrote on their official X account, along with two photos of Kelce and Hilfiger himself. "from the field to the front row, this is just the beginning."

— Tommy Hilfiger (@TommyHilfiger) March 30, 2026

Though this is the 36-year-old's first time collaborating with Tommy Hilfiger, this is not Kelce's first fashion endeavor. In 2019, he launched his own apparel brand, Tru Kolors, that "fuses varsity nostalgia with leisure luxury, capturing the spirit of sport, social connection, and expressive style." Just last year, Tru Kolors collaborated with American Eagle to release over 90 pieces, including varsity jackets, heavyweight tees and cashmere sets.

According to WWD, this partnership goes beyond the standard endorsement deal. Kelce will appear in a campaign launching later this year that follows him through an imagined version of New York, while also working directly with the fashion brand's design team on a limited Spring 2027 collection. He is also expected to be wearing various Hilfiger pieces throughout the 2026 NFL season during tunnel walks, which is scheduled to kick off in September.

“I've long admired Tommy Hilfiger as an iconic American brand. Ever since 10th grade, when I used to ask my mom to buy Sailing Gear jackets, I’ve been drawn towards the brand’s confident style and red, white and blue DNA,” Kelce said in a press release. “Getting to work with Tommy and put my own twist on timeless pieces in a way that feels original for today is a dream come true.”

Kelce joins a legendary lineup of celebrities, athletes and pop culture icons who have contributed to shaping Tommy Hilfiger's vision. Other past collaborations include tennis player Rafael Nadal, Gigi Hadid, Lewis Hamilton, Zendaya and Damson Idris.

Tommy Hilfiger was founded in 1985 by American fashion designer Thomas Jacob Hilfiger, with backing from businessman Mohan Murjani. The brand introduced its first signature collection that same year, focusing on updated and modern versions of classic American cool, such as button-down shirts and chinos.

Night one of the Knockouts begins on Season 29 of The Voiceas coaches Kelly Clarkson, Adam Levine and John Legend pair up their six remaining team members in vocal battles that will determine which three move on to the Playoffs.

What differentiates the Knockouts from the Battles is they aren’t duets. Each artist sings solo and rather than a song that their coach selected for them, they have the chance to select their own song.

One key Knockout from Team Legend was Moses G., performing Marvin Gaye's “Let's Get It On,” vs Lucas West, performing Billy Joel's “New York State of Mind,” and Parade has a sneak peek.

Adam said, “Moses, Moses, Moses, you cannot do that song unless you do exactly what you did.”

“You committed,” John interrupted.

“I cannot move like you move,” Adam added, while Kelly joked, “Moves like Jagger.”

“Lucas, you are not on my team, and I'm still mad about it,” Adam continued. “You keep getting better and better. I mean, this dude really plays. The keyboard is not a prop, and I love that about you, too.”

Then Kelly said, “Moses, you make me so happy. I found myself smiling so much my face hurt. I love it. Your arms open and you're dancing is awesome and I just love it. Lucas, Billy Joel if he sees this, like you just made him proud. That was insane. You have to be able to say I'm going to challenge myself because I feel like I'm worthy of it, and I think you need that kind of confidence and attitude to move forward, so I would lean a bit more towards Lucas.”

Then host Carson Daly got John’s opinion.

“I was so impressed with both of your performances,” John said of his teammates. “Moses you really have such a beautiful energy. You just radiate light and positive energy and that's what people want to feel and want to see. Lucas, I feel like we saw new things from you vocally today. That was really revelatory. To be able to play the piano and then sing as well as you did today is just incredibly impressive. I think both of you are phenomenal and it's been a joy working with both of you.”

Tune in tonight to find out the winner of this Knockout.

The entertainer became the entertainee for a brief moment at Lady Gaga's first night at the TD Garden over the weekend.

The "Bad Romance" songstress performed her Mayhem Ball in Boston, Mass. on Sunday, March 29, one day after her 40th birthday, and her acoustic set went a little off the rails when fans turned the tables to perform for her, breaking into an unexpectedly coordinated round of "Happy Birthday" that left the singer wiping away tears.

During "Die With a Smile," the song she released with Bruno Mars, which she performed solo on a keyboard set up at the end of the catwalk, countless fans pulled out small, printed signs that read, "Another year, happy just to be alive," which partially include lyrics from her Mayhem track "Vanish Into You."

As she reached the end of the song, she seemed to clock what was happening around her, choking on a gasp before breathing out the final words. She got to her feet as the crowd cheered, thanking them and telling them how much she loved them before asking, "Whose idea was it to make those signs?"

Instead of an answer, the crowd broke out into a song of its own, singing the traditional song to Gaga while a fan passed an entire birthday cake encased in a plastic container to her security, who passed it up to her on stage.

She looked positively delighted to show it off, tearing up as she waved at the audience and held her hand over her heart.

Lady Gaga's Birthday Mayhem Ball (0:50)

But, the show must go on, and Gaga scrambled to find a place to store the cake so she could return to the piano. She comically made the rounds at the end of catwalk, considering putting it on her bench seat and even the keyboard itself before placing it gently on the ground nearby.

According to fan accounts online, the gifter managed to sneak the cake into the venue by taping it to their body underneath their elaborate outfit.

Gaga went on to play a bonus acoustic track for the rowdy crowd, emphasizing what an "honor" it was to celebrate her birthday with them.

The Mayhem Ball returns for a second night at the TD Garden on March 30.

Season 2 of Euphoria was released in 2022. Rue (Zendaya) spent more time with her friend and dealer, Fezco (Angus Cloud), which brought her deeper into the crime world. Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) and Nate (Jacob Elordi) were secretly hooking up until Rue revealed it to Maddy (Alexa Demie).

The students are done with school and will be headed down different paths in season 3. Here is everything we know about the gritty drama.

What Happens in Euphoria Season 3?

A new trailer for the season was released on March 30. It ended with revealing the premiere is on Monday, April 13.

Rue is seen driving recklessly in a desert before getting questioned about her trips to Mexico. She is now smuggling drugs across the border. Nate and Cassie get married. Maddy surprisingly forgave Cassie enough to help her.

Lexi (Maude Apatow) is unsurprisingly doing better than the rest. She works at Warner Bros. under Sharon Stone's character and pitches storylines for their shows. Jules (Hunter Schafer) works as a sugar baby and crosses paths with Nate's dad, Cal (Eric Dane), years after their season 1 secret meet-up. Maddy is working at a strip club.

The monotoned Marsha (Paula Marshall) was the menacing character in season 2. She locked up Rue as repayment before her escape. We're getting a new villain with Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), who takes advantage of troubled kids like Rue and has them work for him.

Ali (Colman Domingo), who met Rue at an NA meeting, is back to counterbalance this character. However, Rue has ignored his advice in the past. Will she actually change her ways this season? We'll have to wait and see.
