In the era of the new wave genre of the 1970's, the Buggles made MTV history with their track "Video Killed the Radio Star" that became an undeniable generational anthem.

Trevor Horn, Geoff Downes, and Bruce Woolley had come together after Horn put together a touring band for his then-girlfriend singer Tina Charles. The three musicians would click instantly, and, after writing two songs, came up with "Video Killed the Radio Star." The demo featured Charles on vocals and was recorded in Downe's flat in London. Thanks to his girlfriend, who worked for Island Records, the rejected demo was heard by executives.

The track's release is a bit of a story to follow. All three developed the track that would be released in 1979, but by two different groups. Woolley left the group during its recording to form his own band called The Camera Club and released their version of the track for their album English Garden.

"Bruce tried to stop our version of Video and released his more straightforward version [as Bruce Woolley & the Camera Club] before ours, but it wasn’t a hit. Ours is a more complex, modern-sounding pop song," explained Downes to The Guardian.

Downes and Horn would end up forming their own duo called The Buggles, a fun ploy on The Beatles after believing they wouldn't make it as big as the band.

"The idea was to make the instruments sound fake. When we did a rerecorded version for Top of the Pops, the Musicians’ Union bloke said, 'If I think you’re making strings sounds out of a synthesiser, I’m going to have you. 'Video Killed the Radio Star' is putting musicians out of business," said Downes.

The Buggles would end up releasing "Video Killed the Radio Star" on their debut album, The Age of Plastic. Its lyrics struck a chord as a nostalgic pop culture anthem, as it focused on the positives and concerns of the impact of modern technology. It would become their biggest hits that topped 16 international record charts in the UK, Australia, Japan, and more. When it came to the US, the song only managed to reach No. 40 on the Billboard Hot 100.

"Video Killed the Radio Star" would regain popularity and make history two years later in 1981 when it became the first video ever played on MTV when it first started broadcasting. The video was created with a $50,000 budget and shot in one day in South London. Fans may even notice that a young Hans Zimmer can briefly be seen playing the keyboard.

Zimmer recalls how the video was criticized for being "'too violent' because we blew up a television" when it aired in the UK before it was ever released on MTV. Billboard once tagged "Video Killed the Radio Star" as one of the best songs about the music industry. It's since been covered by multiple artists and sampled for hit tracks.

Timeless and luxurious, this necklace features a dainty heart-shaped pendant that exudes romantic charm. The center of the pendant is fixed with a large heart-shaped Swarovski crystal, designed to replicate the brilliance and sparkle of a diamond. For an extra touch of glam, the center crystal is framed by a halo of pave cubic zirconia crystals, which also mimic the appearance of diamonds. One reviewer described this necklace as “high-quality" and "very dainty.” A said that it makes a "pretty gift."

The top of the pendant is securely fastened to a classic cable chain with a secure lobster claw closure. You can adjust the length of the chain depending on where you want the pendant to sit on your chest. The shortest length is about 15 inches, which should land the heart around your collarbone. You can extend the chain up to around 18 inches if you want it to fall under your collarbone and hang around your chest. 

Plated with rhodium, the chain and the pendant hardware have a polished finish. Rhodium is a high-quality platinum metal that complements the shine of the crystals. It’s incredibly durable, protecting the base metal from tarnishing and scratches, so your necklace should stay in pristine condition for a long time. Rhodium is also hypoallergenic, making this piece a great choice for those with sensitive skin. 

This luxe necklace will bring elegance and sophistication to any outfit. Because of its delicate nature, it’ll pair well with both casual and dressy ensembles without looking out of place. You can style it with anything from relaxed streetwear to your finest night-out dress to add a subtle touch of glamour to your look.

Kelly Clarkson is known for bringing the house down — but during her latest show, she worried she was about to have a very different kind of explosive moment.

The singer revealed mid-performance that she feared she had contracted cyclospora, a parasitic infection spreading across the U.S. that can cause intense diarrhea and stomach issues. During a performance on Saturday, Clarkson opened up to the audience, admitting that she didn't "know what’s wrong with me. I don’t know if I’ve got that thing where people eat lettuce and s—t. I don’t know what the f—k."

She continued, “But last night during the show, I was like, ‘Oh my God. Jesus. I get back to my room, and I have never been so happy there is not a man in the room because he for sure would never make sweet love to this again.”

The moment had Clarkson channeling one of Bridesmaids’ most unforgettable scenes, when the wedding party’s food poisoning nightmare turns a bridal boutique into the site of an all-out bathroom disaster.

She recounted the long night she had where “I was like, ‘Oh, Lord!’ You know the part where you think it’s over, it has to be over, no girl!” Clarkson then joked, “I’m gonna be single until I’m dead. It’s fine. I’m gonna find another weird motherf—ker out there.”

Before continuing through her set, Clarkson added, “I hope tonight is not like that.”

A multistate outbreak of cyclospora infections has sickened more than 1,600 people across over 30 states, with the FDA and CDC linking many cases to contaminated shredded iceberg lettuce. The lettuce was supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico, which issued a voluntary recall. Cyclospora is a parasite spread through contaminated food or water that can cause explosive watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, and fatigue. Symptoms may appear days after exposure and can last for weeks without treatment.

Justin Bieber's FIFA World Cup Final halftime performance was already one of the night's biggest talking points, but now it's the walk after the show that's absolutely sending fans.

A video filmed from high in the stands on Sunday, July 19, shows Bieber casually making his way across the field solo after his performance, acoustic guitar in hand. Rather than disappearing through a hidden tunnel or hopping onto a waiting cart, the singer simply strolled off the pitch like everyone else, leaving social media amused by how unexpectedly ordinary the moment looked.

The video was shared by Instagram user @kar_inthegarage with the caption, “We need to be talking about how Justin Bieber just had to walk off alone with his guitar after the World Cup… Actually pretty badass ngl.” The video was set to the song he performed, “EVERYTHING HALLELUJAH,” and was trimmed perfectly to the lyrics “take a walk hallelujah.”

Many viewers joked that they expected a much more dramatic celebrity exit, while others were quick to point out that there really wasn't another way for him to leave.

“Take a walk hallelujah is taking me out hallelujah,” one fan quipped.

Another said, “Madonna could’ve at least given him a ride back,” while a third replied, “Walked off quietly to not wake up everyone he put to sleep.”

“He perfomed alone so? Was he supposed to walk off with a giraffe?😂,” one joked.

Another said, “I mean what do you want him to do?😂😂😂 wait for a helicopter?😂.”

The viral clip comes just hours after Bieber sparked mixed reactions during the first-ever FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show. Instead of performing one of his biggest pop hits, he opted for his acoustic hit off SWAG II, "EVERYTHING HALLELUJAH.”

The performance, sandwiched between high-energy sets from BTS andShakira, left many viewers scratching their heads. While some praised Bieber's vocals and appreciated the unexpected artistic choice, others questioned whether the emotional song was appropriate for one of the world's biggest sporting events.

The halftime show itself marked a historic first for FIFA. Held at New York New Jersey Stadium during the match between Spain and Argentina, the show featured an all-star lineup that included Madonna, Shakira, Jason Sudeikis(as the beloved character Ted Lasso), Coldplay frontman Chris Martin(who curated the lineup), and internationally acclaimed conductor Gustavo Dudamel.

Mackenzie Phillips is looking back on her unexpected exit from One Day at a Time as she reveals how a "morals clause" in her contract led to her being written off the show.

The 66-year-old actress, who starred as rebellious daughter Julie Cooper on the popular sitcom from 1975 until 1980, opened up about her abrupt exit from the series at Fanboy Expo Knoxville on July 10.

Phillips, who has been open about her struggles with addiction while filming One Day at a Time, told fans that her "morals contract" had a "specific" addition regarding substance use, which stated that if she was suspected to be "under the influence," she would be taken to a doctor for a urinalysis, as per PEOPLE.

On the day in question, Phillips said the cast was taking lunch and she was asleep on the couch when she was approached by co-executive producer Patricia Fass Palmer. "She came up to me, and she said, ‘Mac, wake up. Wake up. We’re gonna take you to the doctor and have you pee in a cup,'" Phillips recalled.

While Phillips initially tried to push for more time, as "cocaine runs through your system so quickly," Palmer shut down her delay tactics.

"She said, ‘No, we’re not waiting until tomorrow.’ And I said, ‘OK, well.’ She said, ‘All right, Mac. Grab your stuff and get it together. Get all your stuff. And leave.’ So that’s what I did. And that was that," Phillips recalled.

Phillips would later return to One Day at a Time as a guest, reuniting with co-stars Bonnie Franklin and Valerie Bertinelli, but would ultimately leave the show for good in 1983.

Phillips has been open about her substance use on One Day at a Time, telling Fox News Digital in May that she and her on-screen sister would occasionally leave set to "get in the pool, drink wine, and snort coke," adding, "But Valerie talks about it openly, so it’s not like I’m pulling her covers or anything … I just happened to be the one that got caught. And thank God I got caught, you know?"

Phillips would go on to be arrested in 1977 for cocaine possession and disorderly conduct and again in 2008 for drug possession. She has gone on to be sober since 2010.

For five consecutive seasons, The Cosby Show kept the No. 1 spot in Nielsen ratings in its timeslot on the major networks. But one unexpected and unconventional sitcom, which showcased a completely different version of American life at the time, knocked the NBCsitcom out of its spot. 

Only one other sitcom has matched The Cosby Show’s five-season run at the number one spot: All In the Family. The latter dominated from 1971-1972 through the 1975-1976 season. In Season 7, Roseanne replaced The Cosby Show at the top spot, with The Cosby Show coming in second place during the 1990 to 1991 season. 

In April 1990, the Los Angeles Times reported that both shows were tied at number one for the 1989-1990 television season. Both secured a 23.1 rating according to Nielsen ratings. 

Ironically, both sitcoms were produced by Carsey-Werner. They depicted family dynamics, but from different lenses. The Cosby Show chronicled the life of an idealized, upper-middle-class Black family, which was unprecedented at the time. Roseanne showcased a grittier family dynamic of the working class in the Midwest.

Interestingly, their on-screen characters (Roseanne Barr and Bill Cosby) matched their professional personas: Cosby pushed education, clean comedy, and family values. Barr was controversial in her takes, used profanity, and was proud to do so. Both would later face career and personal controversy: Cosby for his alleged sexual abuse of dozens of women throughout the years, and Barr for her political views. 

A Roseanne reboot would later air in 2018 but was abruptly canceled in May 2018 after Barr posted a racist tweet. Barr later apologized, calling her tweet “ill-worded” but insisted she was no racist or a bigot. The backlash was swift. A spinoff, The Conners, would later air for seven seasons. The final episode aired in April 2025.

In the 1970s, Alison Arngrim played Nellie Olson, the ultimate mean girl on Little House on the Prairie. Decades later, she had the opportunity to reunite with one of her character's “victims,” and explain how one of her most famous bullying scenes hit a little too close to home.

During a recent episode of The Alison Arngrim Show, Arngrim, now 64, welcomed guest Katy Kurtzman, who was a guest star on Little House. Kurtzman famously played Anna Gillberg, a little girl with a stutter whom Nellie tormented, in the 1977 episode “The Music Box.”

While introducing Kurtzman, Arngrim said, “Yes, the little girl with the stutter that I was so horrible to. ...And I guess she forgave me because she came on the show and doesn't still hate me.”

Arngrim recalled, "The big [episode] that people do remember, of course, is our fabulous episode of 'The Music Box,' where you had a speech impediment, and I was awful, awful, awful, awful to you.”

Arngrim revealed that the scenes in which she had to be cruel to Kurtzman were hard for her to film, because she suffered from a real-life speech impediment herself.

“As I have told people since, I couldn't say the letter 'S' when I was in kindergarten, in the first grade. I had to go to speech class after school, and I hung out with stutterers and stammerers,” she shared. “So doing that nearly freaking killed me.”

Arngrim noted that Kurtzman’s excellent acting skills, including a heartbreaking crying scene, didn’t make it any easier.

“It made it all the more terrifying and me look even worse because you were just like sobbing and devastated,” Arngrim told Kurtzman on the podcast. “So thank you. Thank you for making me look even more evil in that scene than I already was.”

“You did evil very well,” Kurtzman replied. “You did unadjusted, maladjusted… but you always did it with sort of a tongue-in-cheek kind of thing to it.… There was something always a little quirky, a little smirky, a little snarky. You definitely had fun with it and so that was that was nice.”

Arngrim also thanked Kurtzman for forgiving her for making her character cry.

“You made my job very easy,” Kurtzman admitted. “All I had to do was be intimidated and scared of Big Nellie, and it took right out of me. I didn't have to work at all.”

In the Little House on the Prairie Season 3 “Music Box” episode, Arngrim’s Nellie famously makes fun of Anna’s stutter and humiliates her by making her repeat a tongue twister as a way to gain acceptance into her exclusive club. As Anna struggles, Nellie commands her to say the words louder and faster.

On an episode of the Little House at 50 Podcast, Arngrim recalled “dragging” Kurtzman’s character in front of all of the other girls in the club.

“And this is the scene that’s just like stomach-churning. It’s horrible,” she said. "And Katy Kurtzman, because Katy Kurtzman is brilliant… the tears, it’s just [waterworks] pouring down her face, and she is shaking … and having like a physical body reaction.”

In 2025, Arngrim told Paradeshe was “uncomfortable” with the cruel scene and that it “creeped” her a bit.

“I call it the episode where I hate me,” the Little House on the Prairie alum admitted. “It’s like that bad, but it works, and it’s brilliant.”

Even Dolly Parton gets nervous about taking big risks. Back in the late '70s, as she set her sights on pop stardom, she came across a song that changed everything.

The catch? Dropping a mainstream track meant risking the loyalty of the country fans who made her a star.

"Here You Come Again" was released in October 1977 and hit the No. 1 spot on the Billboard charts on December 3 of that same year. It held that top spot for five consecutive weeks, giving the country icon the massive crossover hit she had been dreaming of.

However, according to an Andy CohenSoundCloud interview with Parton's manager Sandy Gallin, Parton was fearful of alienating her longtime country fans. She knew the track was a guaranteed pop smash, but she wasn't willing to risk the core audience that had backed her from the beginning of her career.

SiriusXM Entertainment · Dolly Parton's Here You Come Again almost didn't happen

“She was very nervous that it would turn off the country market, which she was very loyal to," Gallin explained. "There was no way she wanted to ever let anything insinuate that she may be turning her back on the country audience."

“I made a deal with her: If the song is not No. 1 country and No. 1 pop, I never get into your music again,” he continued. "I said, 'I'll bet it's No. 1.' She said, 'You're sure of this?' I said, 'I'm positive.'"

Parton wanted to ensure that the song would be relatable to her longstanding country fans. She shared how she made sure the catchy pop song had deep country roots in a 1978 Playboy interview.

Partoon insisted on a steel guitar part, which helped to merge the two worlds. The country legend told Playboy, “I was kind of afraid that people would think, ‘Boy, this is too drastic.’ I just didn’t want country people to think that I totally left them.”

Parton concluded, “That was such a polished pop sound! But it was the biggest country record I ever had, as well.”

Songwriters Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann were inspired to write "Here You Come Again" after a friend shared a personal heartbreak, according to The Oklahoman. But while the track became a massive crossover smash for Parton, her version featured a key tweak to the original lyrics.

Songfacts reported that Weil accidentally erased the song's original opening line on the tape recorder while Barry was out. They shared a quote which revealed how the mix up ended up being a great mistake.

"I didn't know what to do, so I made [a line] up. I made up the melody and the lyric," Weil explained.

"When he came back, I sang it to him. He said, 'That's not my opening line, but I like yours better.' We kept it." The song went on to win Parton a 1979 Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance.

In the end, Dolly Parton’s gamble paid off in ways even she couldn't have predicted. By trusting her instincts and keeping her Nashville roots intact, she didn't just land a massive crossover smash. She proved that staying true to your artistry is always worth the risk.

Country music star Garth Brooks paused a recent performance to address a request held up in the crowd, turning a moment of audience pushback into an impromptu cover of a 1976 classic rock anthem.

In a video uploaded to Instagram, after spotting a handmade poster in the front rows, Brooks called out the attendee's ask to the entire venue.

“And you know this is a Garth Brooks concert, right?" Brooks said from the stage. "No, you don’t understand, she has this beautiful sign out here that’s asking me to sing someone else’s music.”

The initial announcement drew immediate boos from the surrounding crowd. Brooks quickly cut in to clarify the specific artist on the poster before the audience could react further.
“Oh but wait a minute, before you are judge and jury, people, it’s Bob Seger,” Brooks said.
The stadium’s mood shifted as Brooks pointed out the potential nightmare of altering a heavily rehearsed stadium production in real time.

“Do you understand that this is a show that cannot be changed on a dime?" Brooks asked the crowd. "We’ve got dance moves, we’ve got it all going on right here. You really think we’re going to stop everything and do 'Night Moves' from Seger? I would not have a clue…”
Without breaking stride, Brooks immediately launched into the opening acoustic guitar bars of Seger’s signature 1976 hit.

Written by Seger and released on Capitol Records in December 1976, "Night Moves" served as the title track for his ninth studio album. The song spent 21 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 4 in March 1977. It marked Seger's commercial breakout alongside the Silver Bullet Band and remains a staple of classic rock radio programming nationwide.

Brooks, who frequently incorporates classic rock influences into his live setlists, has cited Seger as a primary musical inspiration throughout his career. He previously recorded a cover of Seger’s 1973 track "Roll Me Away" for his 2013 box set, Blame It All on My Roots: Five Decades of Influences.

The unscripted detours have become a signature element of Brooks' live shows, where he regularly scans the floor for sign requests during the acoustic portions of his sets.

After nearly three decades together, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Angie Katsanevas and her husband, Shawn Trujillo, have gone their separate ways.

The couple, who married in 1999, reportedly split after 27 years of marriage. Angie, 52 and Shawn have long been considered one of the more established couples in the Real Housewives franchise, with viewers getting a glimpse into both their family life and business partnership during Angie’s time on the Bravo series.

The pair also co-founded Lunatic Fringe Salon the same year they tied the knot, building the beauty brand together while raising their family.

While neither Angie nor Shawn publicly hinted at the split in recent weeks, one small detail caught fans' attention after the news surfaced. Last month, Katsanevas did not share her usual social media tribute marking the couple's wedding anniversary, which she previously celebrated in past years.

The absence of an anniversary post now appears to have been an early sign that things had changed behind the scenes.

Throughout her time on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Angie often spoke about the importance of her marriage and family, though the couple also faced scrutiny and rumors about their relationship on the show.

Despite the speculation, Angie and Shawn repeatedly maintained they were committed to one another while continuing to run their business together.

Now, after 27 years of marriage, the longtime couple is moving forward separately.

Neither has publicly commented on the split.

Who knows how to decorate a space better than Martha Stewart? The culinary and lifestyle mogul is known for designing gorgeous living spaces that are affordable, stylish, and timeless. That’s why Stewart has a featured line of rugs available at Wayfair — and her Hand Tufted Floral Rug is currently on sale. 

The rectangular rug initially cost $336, but has been marked down to just $107 in the 4-foot by 6-foot size. The piece comes in five other sizes spanning up to 10 feet wide, with all of them currently on sale and the maximum price being $324. Those sizes even include a round and runner version of the design. There's also a 3-by-5-foot version available for $71, though just a handful are left in stock. The hand-woven indoor rug is made from cotton and wool and features with a cotton and latex backing. 

The rug features a sleek floral pattern consisting of ivory and sage coloring, with a gray trim. Due to its muted tones, this piece can be placed anywhere and matches perfectly with any decor style. It's recommended to dry clean the rug in order to get best results. If that's not an option for you, you're able to vacuum it, but make sure to remove any type of beater bar or rotating brush to prevent damage. 

One reviewer said that this rug is what they'd envisioned for their space, adding that the colors are exactly as pictured. They additionally noted that the material is on the thicker side with a slightly rough texture that's made to last, adding that there's still a "beautiful balance of softness." Other customers described the "perfect" piece as "really pretty," citing it as the "best quality carpet" they currently own. 

Another shopper wrote, "The soft colors complement my newly remodeled bathroom and add a subtle French-feel to the room." It does heavily lean into the trendy French countryside aesthetic with its muted tones and delicate florals, making this limited-time sale all the more enticing.

Apple is warning iPhone and iPad users about a fast-spreading scam that uses FaceTime to steal money and personal information.

Security researchers flagged the scheme this month, and it turns a normal-looking video call into a trap. Here is the key thing to understand: FaceTime itself has not been hacked. Scammers are using it as a way to reach you and sound official. They place FaceTime calls or send invitation links while faking the number on your screen, a trick called spoofing, so the call looks like it comes from Apple, your bank or a government agency. Some callers already know details like your home address or employer, which they drop early to seem legitimate.

Once they have your attention, the story usually involves urgency. A caller might claim someone broke into your iCloud account or made unauthorized Apple Pay charges, then offer to fix it. The real goal is to talk you into sharing a password, a security code or payment details in the moment, which they use to drain accounts.

Treat any unexpected FaceTime call or message that asks about payments, refunds, password resets or personal information as suspicious. Apple says its representatives will never ask you for your Apple Account password, device passcode or two-factor authentication code. Because caller ID can be faked, a familiar name on the screen proves nothing. The red flags mirror the ones in spoofed bank scam calls and other impersonation scams.

Do not act while you are on the call. Hang up, then contact the company yourself using a number you look up independently. Apple asks users to screenshot a suspicious FaceTime call or link and email it to reportfacetimefraud@apple.com. It also helps to block scam calls on your iPhone before they ever reach you.

The Cosby Show remains one of the greatest and most successful sitcoms in American history. Unlike the shows of its time, the sitcom portrayed a well-off and close-knit African American family, negating stereotypes of the Black plight. Its success is largely attributed to Bill Cosby’s commitment to showcasing Black life in a positive light. The show ran for eight seasons, with five of its seasons reigning in the top spot. 

According to Studio Spill’s little-known facts video, Cosby had unprecedented creative control. At the time, he was known for his clean comedy style and family values. Cosby negotiated his NBC contract to include a specific clause for anyone working on the show: no smoking, no drugs, and no derogatory humor.

Cosby approved all storylines for the show. He read and approved all scripts, giving him the final say. Additionally, he had an ownership stake in the show. He’s earned millions of dollars in syndication since the show ended in 1992.

Ironically, one actor would later tell a different story. In a feature for The Observer, comedian DC Benny reflected on his one appearance on the spinoff, Cosby. He explained that his manager gave him the wrong call time, which resulted in him showing up to set over an hour late. Lateness was not something Cosby accepted, and he reportedly scolded Benny.

A production assistant informed Benny he was to refer to Cosby only as Dr. Cosby. Upon entering Cosby’s office, the tirade began. “Cosby slowly blew out a cumulus cloud of smoke, which floated toward the illuminated “No Smoking” sign,” Benny recounts. He was quickly chastised. Intimidated, he mistakenly referred to the powerhouse as “Mr. Cosby” before he was corrected and told that if he were ever late again, he wouldn’t have a long career. Someone later told him Cosby was harder on people of color, which industry insiders have long reported.

Jill Zarin is weighing in on another major halftime show — but Bravo fans are not letting her forget her last viral performance review. The former Real Housewives of New York City star shared her thoughts on the FIFA World Cup halftime show, praising the spectacle while quickly finding herself at the center of a new wave of backlash.

Zarin’s comments sparked criticism from Bravo fans who accused her of trying to rewrite the narrative after her controversial reaction to the Super Bowl halftime show led to widespread backlash and fallout from The Golden Life. On social media, viewers questioned the timing of her latest review, with some calling it “transparent” and accusing her of seeking attention by revisiting a topic that previously put her in the spotlight.

"Loved the show," Zarin said in an Instagram video, adding, "loved the Muppets, loved the talent. I thought Justin Bieberwas amazing. Shakira's amazing, Madonna, of course, iconic. But you know what? Not enough dogs."

She added that she was "just kidding" about there not being enough animals in the show.

"I think you should keep your comments about ANY half time shows to yourself, lol," one person remarked on her Instagram video post. Others loved the post adding, "Jill’s half-time reviews should become the new thing."

Writer Gibson Johns wrote on Threads: "Jill Zarin posting another halftime show review after getting fired from “The Golden Life” for her racist Super Bowl halftime show review to try to reclaim the narrative… keep it."

Others felt that Zarin was posting to get attention and making light of her tone deaf Super Bowl comments.

Several people wondered about the video itself, asking if Zarin used so many filters that she didn't look like herself. "Omg what happened to your face you look like a different person," one person wrote on her Instagram post. Another person thought that she looked like another RHONY alum: "Her face tuning is making her look like Kelly Bensimon, the person wrote on Threads.

Apple is raising the subscription prices of its music streaming service, Apple Music, citing "rising licensing costs" as the cause of the hike.

As of Friday, July 17, the price of Apple Music's individual plan is now $11.99 per month, up a dollar from its previous price of $10.99 per month.

The Apple Music family plan is also seeing a price increase, now costing subscribers $19.99 per month, up from $16.99 per month, while the student plan is up a dollar from its previous price of $5.99, now costing $6.99 per month.

“As a result of rising licensing costs, Apple Music is increasing its subscription price beginning today,” Apple said in a statement about the price increase, as per Deadline.

Apple is also increasing the cost of numerous Apple One bundles, which include Apple Music, in conjunction with the music streaming service's price hike. While the individual Apple One plan will remain unchanged at $19.95 a month, the Family plan will now cost $27.95 per month, up from $25.95, and the Premier plan will see a price hike of $2, now costing subscribers $39.95 a month.

This is the first time Apple has increased the price of Apple Music since October 2022, when it raised the price of the individual plan to $10.99, up a dollar from the previous price. At the time, Apple similarly cited an "increase in licensing costs" for the hike, adding at the time that "artists and songwriters will earn more for the streaming of their music."

Apple Music isn't the only music streaming service to announce a price increase this year. Spotify previously announced in January that it would raise the price of its Premium subscription from $11.99 to $12.99 a month, and that its Family plan would now cost $21.99, up from $19.99, with its Student plan increasing to $6.99, up from $5.99.

Noah Kahan is responding directly to the question thousands of fans have been asking since his weather-related concert cancellation at New York's Citi Field: Will there be a makeup show?

Speaking to the crowd during night two of his sold-out Citi Field run on Sunday, July 19, Kahan addressed the previous evening's cancellation, making it clear that his team had explored every possible option to bring the show back.

"I just want to apologize for the cancellation of our show last night," he told the audience. "I don't expect any sympathy at all."

The singer went on to acknowledge the fans who had traveled long distances and waited through the rain. Kahan also emphasized that canceling shows is something he rarely does. "I've been touring for about nine years. I've probably played about 500 shows and I've canceled six in my life, and they've only ever been when we cannot do anything else but cancel the show," he said. "I promise you I would play in a volcano, the hole of a volcano for y'all."

Addressing speculation about a makeup date, Kahan revealed that his team exhausted every possibility. "I have sympathy for the folks that missed out and I promise you we did everything, everything we could. Weird sh*t to try to reschedule it and I'm sorry," he said, before adding, "You deserve better than that."

But for some fans, the apology wasn’t doing it, as many concertgoers who had hoped Sunday's show would include news of a future makeup date.

“Honestly I wished he addressed us fans during the day who missed the show instead of a stadium full of people getting to see the show they’ve been so looking forward to,” one said on Instagram.

“The writing on the wall is @citifield won't work with him to reschedule,” someone else theorized.

A third wrote, “Words are nice. Action is better. Offer another show or free access code for your next NY show even if it's next year. Anything less is a failure and does nothing to make this right.”

Saturday's concert was called off due to severe weather after fans had already arrived at Citi Field. Kahan later shared a written apology on social media, saying his team had "exhausted every option to make this happen" before deciding it was unsafe to continue.

Because the show was canceled rather than postponed, ticket holders are receiving refunds instead of being automatically transferred to a future date.

Mara Wilson became well-known among fans as a child actor playing the iconic role of Matilda, but admits that finding the right idea for a sequel wouldn't be so easy.

The 38-year-old starred in the beloved 1996 fantasy comedy film, Matilda, based on Roald Dahl's 1988 novel. Co-produced and directed by Danny DeVito, the plot centered around a child prodigy who develops psychokinetic abilities that help her deal with her abusive family and tyrannical principal.

Matilda became a cult classic film despite its box office bomb and developed a devoted fanbase. Thirty years later, fans are still hoping to one day get the announcement of a sequel. During a recent panel at the Fanboy Expo Knoxville in Tennessee, Wilson explained that many people have asked about a Matilda 2. Despite saying that a sequel is possible, a common storyline idea among fans doesn't sit well with her.

“But one thing that people always say is, ‘Oh, maybe it could be Matilda’s daughter.’ And I have some issues with that, because I think Matilda’s powers come from her adversity,” she explained.

“They come from the bad things that she went through, and the whole point is that she overcame these things. And she found power in educating herself and in making friends with these people who were really lovely … And so I don’t think Matilda would raise her daughter to be in a position where she developed those powers to protect herself."

The actor also adds that there's one "tricky question" that's yet to be answered: Who would Matilda marry? Wilson questions what type of person would be "good enough" to be with the character because "Matilda’s such an awesome character that I can’t imagine who she would marry and have kids with, you know?”

There's no doubt that a Matilda 2 would have to explore a grown-up version of the beloved characters, years after the events of the first film. If fans hope to ever see a daughter storyline, there would need to be some backstory on how Matilda fell in love amid her unique powers.

When it comes to the iconic film, DeVito once said in a 2019 interview that he's "always wanted to do Matilda 2." The actor does admit that his thoughts on a sequel were when Wilson was still a child, but he did lean into the idea of exploring the character having a kid.

It’s back! Starbucks finally revealed when the Unicorn Frappuccino will make a limited-time return. And you can get the frosty fan-favorite in stores soon.

If you haven’t already experienced this mouthwateringly magical mix yet, now (or at least, soon) is the perfect time to try one for yourself. 

The sparkly selection features creamy mango flavors, a tangy blue drizzle, whipped cream, and a tangy pink-and-blue topping. And we promise, no unicorns were hurt to make this bespoke beverage. 

First introduced in 2017, the color-changing drink made a serious splash among Starbucks’ loyal customers. But sadly, ingredient shortages and a painstakingly labor-intensive mixing process (which led to a bit of a barista backlash) led to its hasty demise. 

Earlier this year, news that the Frappuccino would come back to Starbucks stores went viral. Insiders shut down the rumors on social media.

An employee post on the Starbucks Reddit explained, “Just got confirmation from our regional manager that the unicorn frap is not returning to the menu. The viral comment was a very real comment made by Sbux media team that has been deemed an ‘automatic message’ that has since been deleted.” 

Apparently, that employee was misinformed—because the Unicorn is indeed coming back. 

In June, Starbucks teased the return of the delish drink. And the drink did pop up again. But if you weren’t at Coachella this year, you didn’t get a chance to enjoy the color-changing magic. 

Starbucks just announced the return of the Unicorn Frappuccino, and it’s coming back to coffeehouses for one weekend only: August 15-16.

While some Frap fans can’t wait for the return in August, others have a different take. On @snackolator’s recent Instagram post, comments ranged from “These companies are desperately trying to manufacture fomo with these arbitrary limited-time items” to “I never got to try it 10 years ago. It was sold out! Let’s see if I get to try it this time.”

Redditors also gave the comeback mixed reviews: “I don’t think this will get the sales that Starbucks thinks it will get this time…Anyone who actually tried the drink knows it didn’t taste good. I watched as people bought three Venti unicorns, posed for pictures, and then threw them in the trash.” 

And then there were the barista complaints. The notoriously tricky-to-make drink drew the ire of some employees, who wrote on Reddit, “Let’s please observe a moment of silence for the Starbucks baristas”, “PTSD flashbacks intensify,” and “Never have I felt more like I dodged a bullet when I got fired from Starbucks right before the unicorn frappuccino came out the first time. Good luck Partners.”

You can get your Unicorn blended beverage at Starbucks stores from August 15 through 16. But, based on the employees’  comments, be extra nice to your barista!
