In 1976, Blue Öyster Cult released a song that would become one of the most lasting and recognizable tracks in classic rock history.

Their single, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" became the band's biggest hit, reaching the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and introducing their sound to a wider audience. Decades later, it continues to be ranked among the best American rock songs of all time, including by Ultimate Classic Rock.

Written by frontman Buck Dharma, the song was inspired by a deeply personal idea:coming to terms with mortality. At the time, Dharma was grappling with his own fears about death and sought to channel that anxiety into something more peaceful and reflective.

"I had been diagnosed with a heart arrhythmia and it scared me," Dharma told Ultimate Classic Rock. "The cardiologist said, 'You know this isn't going to kill you. You can manage this.' And it has been managed with medication for 45 or 50 years now. But it got me thinking about dying." The result was a song that doesn't fear death, but instead frames it as a natural part of life.

That weighty concept was paired with an unexpectedly accessible sound. With its chiming guitar riff, layered harmonies and steady rhythm, "(Don’t Fear) The Reaper" struck a balance between philosophical depth and pop appeal, helping it stand out on the radio in the mid-1970s.

The song also became known for one of rock's most famous, yet unexpected elements: the cowbell. Though it played a subtle role in the original recording, it later took on a life of its own in pop culture, especially after being immortalized in a memorable sketch on Saturday Night Live.

Despite the humor that followed, the song's core message has endured. Its exploration of life, love and mortality continues to resonate with listeners, giving it a timeless quality that goes far beyond its era.

Today, Blue Öyster Cult is still going strong. "As long as we feel good and sound good, we'll keep playing," Dharma told Guitar World last year. "It's a different group, but the current guys have been in the band longer than the original guys. And we still have the same vocalists, so that's something. We're taking some commitments for 2025, but there’s no promises for the future."

More than four decades later, "(Don’t Fear) The Reaper" remains a defining track for Blue Öyster Cult, and a powerful reminder that even the heaviest themes can be transformed into something lasting and universal.

If you’re the type of person who already has your 2027 holiday cards addressed and your 2028 summer vacation pinned, Regent Seven Seas has a massive announcement that belongs at the top of your digital calendar.

The ultra-luxury cruise line just unveiled its 2029 World Cruise—Eras of Exploration—and while 2029 might feel like the distant future, the booking window is opening a lot sooner than you think.

Setting sail on January 6, 2029, this isn't just a cruise; it’s a 150-night odyssey that covers 37,000 nautical miles, 7 continents, and 70 ports of call. And the kicker? For a trip that literally takes you around the entire planet in total luxury, the starting price is actually a relative bargain.

The Details: 150 Nights of Total Luxury

Departing from Miami and ending in Rome, the Seven Seas Mariner will serve as an intimate floating home for 700 lucky travelers. This isn't your average Caribbean loop; the journey begins in sleek Miami before gliding deep within South America, through the Amazon River, and down to the majestic peaks of Antarctica.

From there, guests will cross the Pacific to explore the mythic islands of Polynesia, the dramatic coastlines of Australia, and the ancient temples of Southeast Asia. The epic sojourn concludes by crossing the Indian Ocean to marvel at the architectural feats of Indian and Arabian dynasties before sailing the romantic coastlines of the Mediterranean to culminate in the Eternal City of Rome.

The ship itself was recently refurbished at the end of 2025 to mirror the impeccable attention to detail seen on Regent’s renowned Explorer-Class ships. The investment transformed the vessel with refreshed suites, fully redesigned marble bathrooms for top-tier categories, and a newly enhanced Pool Grill featuring a fresh pizzeria concept. To elevate the culinary experience, the ship also features the state-of-the-art Epicurean Enrichment Studio.

The "Steal": Under $100K

While "steal" is a relative term, the math for an ultra-luxury experience where you don't have to open your wallet for five months is surprisingly compelling. Fares for the 150-night voyage start at $99,999 per guest for a Deluxe Veranda Suite, while those looking for the ultimate splurge can opt for the 2,002-square-foot Signature Suite at $344,999 per guest.

At the entry-level price point, the cost breaks down to roughly $666 a night. When you consider that this includes your suite, 326 included shore excursions, all fine dining, alcohol, tips, unlimited laundry—including dry cleaning—and even door-to-door luggage service, it is arguably more cost-effective than a long-term stay in a high-end metropolitan hotel.

“We are delighted to announce the latest iteration of our iconic World Cruise, which has been inspired by history’s most intrepid explorers and the paths of legendary adventures,” said Wesley D’Silva, President, Regent Seven Seas Cruises. “The 150-night Eras of Exploration World Cruise will be an unforgettable experience that taps into the true essence of travel and adventure; we are looking forward to bringing our discerning guests onto this journey in the most luxurious and all-inclusive way possible.”

By the Numbers

The sheer scale of the voyage is reflected in its impressive stats, encompassing 37,212 nautical miles and visits to 31 different countries. Travelers will have the chance to explore 57 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and enjoy 13 overnight stays in fascinating locales such as Lima, Sydney, Bali and Rio de Janeiro. The journey spans 17 different seas, straits and bays, and includes a one-night pre-cruise stay in a luxury hotel in Miami complete with an exclusive gala dinner to kick off the festivities.

How to Book

If you have a spare 150 days and a desire to see the world without ever unpacking more than once, you need to act fast. Guests can pre-register their interest starting March 25, 2026, by visiting the Regent website or calling their travel advisor. Official reservations open on April 1, 2026. Given how quickly these world cruises have been selling out lately—sometimes in a matter of hours—it is best to have your deposit ready to go.

In her first interview since her mother’s disappearance, Savannah Guthrie is opening up about a troubling aspect of the case: the ransom notes sent to the family. Speaking with Hoda Kotbduring a new Today segment, Guthrie shared what she’s been told about the notes—and what she believes about their credibility.

"There are a lot of different notes, I think that came. And I think most of them, it's my understanding, are not real," Guthrie told Kotb. "But I believe the two notes that we received that we responded to, I tend to believe those were real."

Savannah and her sister, Annie Guthrie, and their brother, Camron Guthrie, posted two videos in which they spoke directly to the would-be kidnapper, pleading for their mom's release. Authorities believe that Nancy Guthrie, 84, was taken from her Arizona home in the middle of the night on Sunday, Feb. 1.

In the days that followed, a number of different ransom notes were sent—some to news outlets like TMZ and others directly to the family. However, authorities have worked to confirm the authenticity of these demands, even making an arrest after learning that one request reportedly sent to Annie wasn't legit. Derrick Callella was arrested and charged after sending a demand for ransom back in February.

As far as the public knows, none of the ransom demands were sent with proof of life. Savannah has not shared any additional details about what might have been written in those two particular ransom notes that made her and her family believe they were real.

It’s been 52 years since The Partridge Family ended its four-season run on ABC. The musical sitcom debuted on September 25, 1970, and ended with the episode “S.O.S.” on March 23, 1974.

Starring Shirley Jones, David Cassidy, Susan Dey, Danny Bonaduce, Dave Madden, Suzanne Crough, and Brian Forster, The Partridge Family was about a fictional family pop band. In real life, that fictional band made hit records, fronted by Cassidy and, occasionally, Jones, with session musicians doing the rest.

At the height of its popularity, The Partridge Family aired after The Brady Bunch on ABC’s Friday night schedule. A move to Saturday night in September 1973 partially sealed the sitcom’s fate, but the show likely would have ended anyway.

‘The Partridge Family’ couldn’t compete against a CBS hit

Fueled by Cassidy’s hit records, The Partridge Family was an instant success in 1970. But the network’s decision to split it from its Friday night Brady Bunch lead-in caused problems.

In an interview with the Television Academy Foundation, Jones noted that the show’s new competition was All in the Family, Norman Lear’s edgy CBS sitcom starring Carroll O’Connor, Jean Stapleton, Rob Reiner, and Sally Struthers.  

“It was the beginning of a new kind of television,” Jones recalled. “They had the show with Archie Bunker, and we were going to be opposite All In The Family … that was a very different kind of family.”

“Our show was out of style, and we wouldn’t be able to compete with a show like All In The Family,” she shared. “So they decided we better go while the going’s good.”

David Cassidy had planned to leave the show

The new timeslot wasn’t the only problem. Cassidy, now a full-on teen heartthrob at age 24, was ready to break free of his pop family image.

“I think David, at this point in time, had had it on the show,” Jones said. “He wanted to do a different kind of music than just The Partridge Family kind of music. And I think they made the decision [to cancel] with those two things in mind.”

Cassidy also revealed that he had planned to leave the show regardless of the scheduling move. Speaking with Yahoo in 1998, Cassidy said, “The Partridge Family was a big hit TV show. Had I not planned on leaving The Partridge Family the following year — they kept trying to find these new acts to replace me with that were scary, as if they sought out the people with the least amount of talent, incredibly bad instinct.”

Cassidy noted that in the final season of the show, producers added random characters.

“The kid next door, the twins, the nephew of Reuben Kincaid… they tried a number of things,”  he said. “There was this comedian who was really not funny. Still not funny. I think the network took it out of its time slot, put it up against what was the No. 1 show, All in the Family, in its last year, and put it on Saturday night when young people go out usually, and the show died a death.”

Ashley Iaconetti thought she had reality TV figured out, then came along Real Housewives of Rhode Island.

After years in the Bachelor franchise—where romance, rivalries, and on-screen tension are part of the deal—she assumed she knew what she was walking into. But stepping onto RHORI quickly proved otherwise.

“I kind of felt like I've been around conflict on screen before, but I truly haven't,” Iaconetti exclusively told Parade. “It was so much more dramatic than Bachelor.”

For longtime fans, that might come as a surprise. Bachelor Nation is no stranger to emotional moments and villain edits, but Iaconetti, 38, says the tone is completely different. “We might have disagreements… but normally the fights are like talking,” she explained. “We don't like curse out each other.” On Housewives, however, the intensity of those conflicts is dialed way up.

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

Instead of jumping into the chaos, Iaconetti made a conscious decision to stay on the sidelines. “You're not involved, so don't get involved,” she said of her mindset during one particularly tense moment between castmates Jo-Ellen Tiberi and Rosie DiMare early in the season. As a newcomer to a cast where many relationships were already established, she chose to observe rather than insert herself into long-standing dynamics.

That approach, however, came with its own concerns. Iaconetti admitted she may have been more guarded than expected while filming. “I went in with so much… education on it that I may have even been a little guarded,” she said, adding that she even worried she was “too careful” in how she came across.

Still, her presence marks a major crossover moment for the franchise. The Real Housewives of Rhode Island—which premieres April 2 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo—introduces a brand-new cast set in the Ocean State, including Kelsey Swanson, Alicia Carmody, Liz McGraw,Rulla Nehme Pontarelli, RHONJ alum Dolores Catania, plus Tiberi and DiMare.

Darrell “Dash” Crofts, the second half of Seals & Crofts, has died. He was 85 years old.

The classic rock legend is responsible for some of yacht rock’s biggest hits, like “Summer Breeze,” “Diamond Girl,” and “Get Closer.”

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

According to TMZ, Crofts died yesterday, March 25, with the duo’s longtime record producer, Louis Shelton, announcing the news this morning. Shelton told the outlet Crofts’ cause of death was complications from heart surgery.

“Sad to hear our dear brother and partner in music has passed away today. Sending love and prayers to all his family and many fans. R.I.P. my brother.....Dash Crofts,” Shelton wrote on Facebook with a photo of Crofts.

Shelton produced Seals & Crofts’ Year of Sunday (1971), the double-platinum Summer Breeze (1972), gold-certified Diamond Girl (1973), and the gold-selling Get Closer (1976), several of which had singles that hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Crofts was born in Cisco, Texas. When he was young, he played piano for Dean Beard and the Crew Cats. This is where he met Jim Seals, also a Texan. Together, they toured with The Champs in 1958 and scored their first hit with “Tequila.” In the 1960s, they moved to the West Coast and by 1969 had “developed a new sound that would be described (sometimes derisively) as soft rock, Ultimate Classic Rock writes.

"About the same time as people like Crosby Stills and Nash," Crofts told the Record Mirror, per UCR, "we realized that we had to get out of the money-making aspect of loud rock 'n' roll into some music which we really believed in."

The duo broke up in 1983 but reunited in the '90s and 2000s. In 1998, Crofts released a solo album, Today. In 2022, Crofts’ longtime collaborator, Seals, passed. 

No plans for a memorial have been set at this time, TMZ reports.

The museum, which spans over 100,000 square feet, brings together multiple National Geographic buildings into a more cohesive campus and will serve as a central hub not just for museum visitors but also for staff. Visitors will enter into a sweeping lobby decorated with sustainably sourced ash wood, which has been dry stacked and is held together by gravity and compression in a curve inspired by the canyons of the American West, before being ushered into interactive areas, with both permanent and rotating exhibits on display.

A global food hall with American, Italian, Vietnamese, and Moroccan food stalls, as well as a coffee shop and cocktail bar named after National Geographic explorer Bob Ballard, will be in what used to be the staff cafeteria. The museum’s auditorium will hold around 400 people and feature updated technology for an immersive experience. 

“National Geographic has always been about sending our explorers out,” Jill Tiefenthaler, CEO of the National Geographic Society, told Parade, reflecting on the platform’s opportunity to be relevant for new generations, and noting that visitors should ideally set aside a few hours to explore the museum. “We are hoping to bring visitors here to get excited about our mission.”

When the museum opens to the public on June 26, visitors will be able to visit The Archives, an exhibition all about National Geographic’s storytelling history, from assignment to reporting to final magazine layout. Visitors will also be able to dive deep into topics via a digital research station and curate images on a touchscreen photo editor. The exhibit will feature National Geographic’s iconic maps and films, and a 38-inch tactile globe, which was designed with low-vision and blind visitors in mind. 

Accessibility and inclusion has been integral to the museum’s design process, with content in both English and Spanish across the museum. Captioning and American Sign Language will be available for media, with Braille messaging at key wayfinding points, visual descriptions for exhibits, and a selection of tactile photographs in the “In Focus” photography exhibit.

The “In Focus” exhibit is a celebration of National Geographic’s photographic legacy, from George Shiras’ first photo of wildlife taken at night to Ami Vitale’s photo of the last male northern white rhinoceros. Another moving photography exhibit, “Photo Ark: Animals of Earth,” propels conservation to the forefront in collaboration with photographer Joel Sartore, whose Photo Ark project seeks to document every species living in captivity, from zoos and aquariums to wildlife sanctuaries and rehabilitation centers. Over 17,000 species have been photographed in the decades-long project. 

“To see my life’s work featured as an inaugural immersive exhibition in the new National Geographic Museum of Exploration is truly an honor. To me, ‘Animals of Earth’ is more than an exhibit — it’s an opportunity to use this groundbreaking interactive technology to bring visitors face to face with all of the wonderful species that I have had the pleasure to photograph from around the globe, while also serving as a testament to the species diversity on our planet that we must work together to protect,” Sartore said in November.

How did Derek Jeter get famous?

Derek Jeter became famous for his time playing for the Major League Baseball team the New York Yankees, one of the most successful teams in the history of the MLB. Jeter is credited as being one of the primary contributors to the team’s fruitful run in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Jeter spent his entire 20-year MLB career playing for the Yankees, a rarity in professional sports. He was first drafted by the team straight out of high school in 1992 before being promoted to the major leagues in 1995 at age 20.

What is Derek Jeter’s net worth in 2026?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Derek Jeter has a net worth of $200 million. This is cumulative earnings from his salary for playing for the Yankees, plus his business ventures, endorsements, appearances and more.

What is Derek Jeter's salary?

Celebrity Net Worth reports Derek Jeter’s salary as $30 million. However, this appears to be the salary that Jeter was earning at the peak of his career from both playing baseball and having endorsement deals. Following his retirement from baseball, Jeter served a stint as CEO for the Miami Marlins. During that time, his salary as CEO was $5 million a year.

Jeter is rumored to still earn $30 million annually from his various endeavors. This will likely see an uptick thanks to his deal with Fox Sports as an MLB commentator.

How much did Derek Jeter pay for the Marlins?

In the summer of 2017, Derek Jeter joined a group of partners led by Bruce Sherman to purchase the Miami Marlins from then-owner Jeffrey Loria for $1.2 billion. For his part, Jeter received only a 4% stake in the franchise, but he was in charge of running the baseball and business operations. According to Front Office Sports, when Jeter sold his stake in the team in February of 2022, it was reportedly worth just under $45 million. 

At that point, the team was only worth $990 million, a drop from the $1.2 billion the investors had paid for the Marlins back in 2017. This means Jeter may have paid more than $45 million for his share of the Marlins back in 2017.

Who owns the Marlins with Jeter? Owner Bruce Sherman of the Miami Marlins talks with CEO Derek Jeter during the game against the New York Mets at loanDepot park on May 21, 2021, in Miami.

Derek Jeter joined forces with a group of partners to buy the Miami Marlins in 2017. The leader of these investors was Bruce Sherman, a New York businessman. Another minority shareholder in the team was reportedly basketball legend Michael Jordan. Jeter parted ways with the Marlins and sold his stake in February of 2022.

Did Jeter lose money on the Marlins?

It is almost certain that Jeter lost money on his investment in the Miami Marlins. We know this because when he sold his shares in the team for a reported $45 million in 2022, the team was valued at $990 million, which is less than the $1.2 billion Jeter and his fellow investors had bought the team for in 2017.

Does Jeter still own part of the Marlins?

Derek Jeter stepped down as the CEO of the Marlins and sold his stake in the team following a 5-year contract in February of 2022. This means that Jeter is no longer a part-owner of the Marlins and has no affiliation with the team. 

It was reported that Jeter parted ways with the team due to a conflict with Sherman over his ownership share and the financial commitment to the team’s roster.

How much does Derek Jeter make a year?

Celebrity Net Worth reports Derek Jeter makes around $30 million a year from his business investments, endorsement deals and appearances.

How much did Derek Jeter make with the Yankees?

Just from his baseball salary alone for playing for the Yankees for 20 years, Derek Jeter made a reported $265 million. That earns him the thirteenth rank of the highest-earning baseball players of all time.

Who made more money, Alex Rodriguez or Derek Jeter?

As mentioned above, Derek Jeter ranks as the second-highest-earning baseball player of all time. The first highest-earning baseball player of all time happens to be Jeter’s former teammate, Alex Rodriguez, with a reported $350 million in baseball earnings alone. However, Jeter’s career has not been mired by controversy the way Rodriguez’s has.

A kindhearted fan named Christian Lopez caught Derek Jeter’s 3,000th hit, only to give it back to the then-captain of the Yankees, like a real gem. This grand gesture potentially cost the fan an estimated $250,000!

How much did Derek Jeter make over his career?

From his baseball career alone, Jeter earned around $265 million. During that time, he also earned at least $150 million from endorsements. This means Jeter earned a total of at least $415 million during his baseball career combined. Guess it pays to play!

How much did Derek Jeter make in endorsements?

Derek Jeter made at least $150 million in endorsements during his baseball career, according to Celebrity Net Worth. That’s certainly enough to pay for a vacation or two.

How much did Derek Jeter make from Nike?

Jeter has had endorsement deals with Nike, Gatorade, Avon, Steiner Sports, Movado, Rawlings, 24-Hour Fitness and Luvo. He has remained tight-lipped about the amount each deal has been worth, so we do not know for sure how much he has made from his deal with Nike. Considering how big the company is and that Jeter has made at least $150 million from various endorsements during his baseball career, we can imagine it was in the tens of millions.

How much did Derek Jeter make in The Other Guys?

Derek Jeter filmed a cameo role in the Mark Wahlberg movie The Other Guys. However, his role was cut down from its original version. Either way, it is not known how much Jeter was paid for his participation in the movie.

Is Derek Jeter married?

Yes, Derek Jeter is currently married to model Hannah Davis. The pair tied the knot in 2016 and have four children together.

Savannah Guthrie‘s mom, Nancy Guthrie, is still missing, going on eight weeks after the abduction from her Tucson, Ariz., home—and the Today co-anchor broke down in tears on the NBC morning show as she blamed herself for her mother's abduction.

On Thursday, March 26, Today aired an interview of Savannah speaking to her friend and colleague Hoda Kotb about the ongoing search for Nancy, 84.

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

Savannah explained that her brother, Camron Guthrie, a fighter pilot in the military, "saw very clearly right away what this was" when Nancy went missing. "He knew. And he said, 'I think she's been kidnapped for ransom.'"

"I just, I didn't want to believe... I just said, 'Do you think because of me?'" Savannah said to her brother. "And he said, 'I'm sorry, sweetie, but yeah, maybe.' But I knew that."

To Kotb, Savannah admitted they "still don't know" for sure if that's what happened. "Honestly, we don't know anything."

She continued, “I don’t know that it’s because she’s my mom and somebody thought, ‘Oh, that girl, that lady has money. We can make a quick buck,’” she said. “I mean, that would make sense. But we don’t know.”

After Savannah called the idea "too much to bear," she struggled to maintain her composure. "To think that I brought this to her bedside, that it's because of me... "

She tearfully added, “I’d just say I’m so sorry, Mommy. I’m so sorry. I’m sorry to my sister and my brother and my kids and my nephew and Tommy, my brother-in-law. I’m just, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. If it is me, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.”

Nancy was last seen at her Catalina Foothills home on the evening of Jan. 31, with the search for her launching on Feb. 1. As of writing, no suspect has been named.

Janice Dickinson called Tyra Banks a "hardcore b****" on camera. Not long after, she doubled down.

The 71-year-old supermodel and former America's Next Top Model judge went after Banks twice in less than two weeks — first on E!'s Dirty Rotten Scandals on March 11, and then again while hosting TMZ After Dark on March 23. Both times, she made it clear she has no interest in being diplomatic about her four seasons on the show.

On Dirty Rotten Scandals, Dickinson claimed Banks and producers pushed her to be meaner on camera. "The producers, especially Tyra, were begging me to be harsher and cruel, like Simon Cowell was on American Idol," she said. She alleged the show chewed contestants up and spit them out. "They left the show completely depressed and depleted while she got so effing rich," Dickinson said. "America's Next Top Model really tortured these girls for Tyra's ego. I was there and I saw it for four seasons."

Dickinson also alleged Banks treated Black contestants more harshly. "She would go harder on the Black girls on the show because of competitiveness and jealousy and her being older than these young women," Dickinson claimed. She also referenced a specific on-set incident: "Tyra didn't want any competition. She went off on one girl and it was so frightening that I was going to get up and hold her down."

On TMZ After Dark, Dickinson went further. She said she regrets doing the show entirely, called Banks a "b****," and accused her of making contestants change ethnicities, pull out their teeth, and shave their heads.

Dickinson's comments come at a moment when ANTM is already under a microscope. Netflix's Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model dropped February 16 and quickly became the platform's No. 1 series. The three-part documentary features Banks alongside former judges and contestants revisiting the show's most controversial moments.

Jay Manuel, the show's former creative director, told People that Banks wouldn't speak to him off camera: "Tyra chose not to speak with me at all while the cameras were off. When they were on, she'd speak to me." He described his later cycles on the show as "torture."

Nigel Barker, another former judge, told Page Six in March that he hasn't spoken to Banks since the documentary aired.

Banks has not responded to Dickinson's specific allegations. She has previously described her tough on-screen persona as "a character" and has said in recent interviews that she "went too far" on the show.

Three things we learned this morning: 1) Jennifer Grey is pals with Bad Bunny, 2) she named her dog Benito after the global trap artist, and 3) she does 66 better than anyone else.

The Dirty Dancing star, celebrating her 66thbirthday today, is captivating and timeless as ever. Sharing on social media news about a new puppy, a girls trip, her connection to Bad Bunny, and projects in the works, Grey has a lot going on.

Last month, the beauty took to Instagram to share a trip to the beach. Looking chill in a black two-piece bathing suit and matching shades, the actress lets her curly hair go free and poses on a pink blanket on the sand with the turquoise water lapping behind her. 

“Long overdue girls trip @tracy.pollan 🤍 giggled like we were back in high school,” she wrote in the caption. 

For the uninitiated, Tracy Pollan is the Emmy-nominated actress best known for her role on Family Ties, where she met her hubs, Michael J. Fox. The two are lifelong friends, with Pollan posting back, “Love you the mostest.”

In another pic, Pollan and Grey take a close-up bestie selfie, with both wearing sunglasses and black suits. 

In puppy news, Grey recently got herself a new furry best friend. She shared details about him and his link to Bad Bunny in early February, writing the following. 

“I first laid 👀on @badbunnypr in 2022. Suffice it to say…I was shooketh. Then 10 days ago, this little guy showed up and has stolen my heart. Please meet Benito, a name inspired by the miraculous and soulful #BenitoBowl, a powerful exaltation of love unity and joy #loveismorepowerfulthanhate,” she wrote in her February post introducing both her love for Bad Bunny and her new puppy.

As for work, Grey has a lot of irons in the fire. Upcoming projects include The Altruists, a series focused on the Sam Bankman-Fried story co-starring Hudson Williams, Terry Chen, and Julia Garner. She also has the Dirty Dancing sequel to look forward to. From Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson, the film will see Grey reprising her role as Frances "Baby" Houseman and also have her executive produce.

Mom to Stella Gregg, 24, Grey has been married to actor/director Clark Gregg since July 21, 2001.

In interviews this week promoting the blockbuster Project Hail Mary, Ryan Gosling offered a series of behind-the-scenes details about Star Wars: Starfighter, the Shawn Levy–directed standalone film opening May 2027, that have generated significant attention among fans of the franchise.

The most substantive revelation involves the production's approach to alien characters. Gosling confirmed that Starfighter will feature practical puppets and physical creature work. Most of the creatures of the first three films, built by Stuart Freeborn and the puppet fabricators at Elstree Studios between 1976 and 1983, were physical objects on set. Yoda, introduced in Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back in 1980, was a rod-and-cable puppet performed by Frank Oz. The Mos Eisley cantina aliens, the Jabba's palace denizens, the Ewoks, all built by hand, all present in the room with the actors.

The prequel trilogy, which ran from 1999 to 2005, shifted that balance heavily toward digital effects. Jar Jar Binks became the most visible symbol of what critics felt was lost in the transition. When J.J. Abrams revived the franchise with The Force Awakens in 2015, he made a deliberate point of returning to practical construction (BB-8 was a functioning physical robot), and the film's creature work drew explicit comparisons to the original films. The two films that followed were inconsistent on that front, and the Disney-era television productions have leaned more heavily on the StageCraft LED volume technology pioneered on The Mandalorian.

Gosling's confirmation that Starfighter is returning heavily to physical creature work is welcome news to fans of those earlier films.

Early in production, Gosling visited the creature shop and was amazed by the depth and breadth of the practical costumes and puppets that were being assembled for the shoot. He became so taken with one alien originally designed as a simple background character that he asked Levy to write him into a scene with it. Speaking toBBC Radio 1's Ali Plumb, he called it among the best scenes he has ever filmed before stopping himself. 'I think I have already said too much,' he said.

Fans are loving it. 'Man..... When I was growing up, I wanted to be a puppeteer or miniatures/sfx,' one fan responded. 'Then right before I started making important life choices, the time of green screens came and CGI replaced everything.... I saw the writing on the wall and pivoted... Now I'm 20yrs into a different career and boom, the puppets and practical sets are back! I love seeing it, just a little bittersweet. 😄'

The other story making the rounds involves further details about a widely reported Tom Cruise event. Levy had previously told The New York Times that Cruise flew his personal helicopter from London to the Starfighter set one day in November, watched the crew film a lightsaber duel in a flooded location, and then picked up a camera and began shooting the sequence himself, standing ankle-deep in muddy water. That footage will appear in the finished film.

Related: Tom Cruise Films Lightsaber Fight for New 'Star Wars' Movie

Gosling learned about it from a text message. He was on his only day off. 'I worked on that movie the whole time,' he told Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. 'I get one day off, and Shawn sends me a picture of him and Tom Cruise and Flynn [Gray] in the mud.' He added: 'I hope that was an accident.'

Star Wars: Starfighter is the first Star Wars theatrical release set fully outside the Skywalker Saga. It stars Gosling alongside Amy Adams, Mia Goth, Matt Smith, and Aaron Pierre, set approximately five years after The Rise of Skywalker. Between a director fresh off Deadpool & Wolverine's $1.3 billion run, a story built around original characters, practical creature work, and (somewhere out there in the mud) a scene Tom Cruise helped film, the anticipation is more than understandable. The film opens May 28, 2027.

If you’ve been scrolling through Disney TikTok lately, you may have noticed that the skyline of the Magic Kingdom is looking a little different.

After several years of sporting a bold, "rose pink" exterior that debuted for the 50th anniversary, Cinderella Castle is officially shedding its blush tones in favor of a much more nostalgic palette.

The repainting project, which was first teased at the Destination D23 fan event, is moving at a surprisingly fast clip. Travelers visiting this month have been treated to a castle that is rapidly returning to the classic grays, creams and deep blues that defined the park's opening in 1971.

While the 2020 "pink" makeover was a nod to the 70th anniversary of the Cinderellaanimated film, many purists are cheering for this return to the original "storybook" aesthetic.

Disney Imagineers aren't just picking colors out of a hat; the new (old) look is specifically designed to work with the intense Florida sun. During the 2025 D23 "Beyond the Spires" panel, the team noted that the updated grays and creams are meant to enhance the castle’s architecture, making it appear "picture-perfect" from every angle, regardless of the season.

The best news for those with upcoming trips? The work is nearing completion much faster than anticipated.

Guests who expected to see scaffolding in their family vacation photos are instead finding a castle that looks fresh, crisp and ready for its close-up. It’s a subtle but significant shift that proves sometimes the best way to move forward is to look back at the classics.

It’s one of the most emotional songs in Disney history—and on this day in 2000, it took home Hollywood’s biggest prize.

"You’ll Be in My Heart," written and performed by Phil Collins for Tarzan, won the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 72nd Academy Awards—cementing its place as a Disney classic.

The song, which underscores the bond between Tarzan and his adoptive mother Kala, struck a chord with audiences for its heartfelt lyrics and powerful message about love, belonging and protection. Decades later, it remains one of the most recognizable—and tear-jerking—tracks in the Disney catalog.

The night itself was packed with memorable moments.

Hosted by Billy Crystal, the ceremony featured a star-studded presentation lineup, including Cher, who presented Collins, now 75, with the award. Later in the evening, Collins took the stage to perform "You’ll Be in My Heart" live, bringing the emotional ballad to life in front of the audience.

Animation also had a strong presence throughout the ceremony. Buzz Lightyear and Sheriff Woody made a special animated appearance to present the award for Best Animated Short Film, which went to The Old Man and the Sea.

Music from Disney and Pixar films was also front and center. Sarah McLachlan and Randy Newman performed "When She Loved Me" from Toy Story 2, another emotional standout that has endured with fans over the years.

And in a nod to Disney’s legacy, "When You Wish Upon a Star" from Pinocchio was performed as part of a sweeping medley celebrating iconic movie songs.

The ceremony also took time to honor those the industry had lost. Presented by Edward Norton, the In Memoriam tribute recognized 27 individuals, including actor Jim Varney and legendary Disney animator Marc Davis.

But it was Collins’ win that remains one of the night’s most lasting highlights.

More than two decades later, "You’ll Be in My Heart" continues to resonate.

Welcoming a grandchild is one of the most extraordinary blessings you can experience. Not only are you witnessing the continuation of your family’s lineage, but you get to see your child evolve into a parent and your grandchild transform into the unique whole person they were born to be. It’s also an opportunity to step into a different role that allows you to nurture and share your wisdom in a new way. 

As an astrologer and the author of Raising Baby by the Stars: A New Parent’s Guide to Astrology, I am passionate about empowering not only parents but also grandparents to understand their little one and themselves through the lens of their birth chart. It can also help to consider your birth month when exploring what kind of grandparent you are — or will be.

How Each Birth Month Grandparents, According to an Expert

Check for your birth month. Disregard your birth date.

January: The Grounded, Forward-Minded Grandparent 

If you were born during the first month of the year, you were born while the sun was moving through industrious, pragmatic Capricorn or humanitarian, future-minded Aquarius. Both signs are wired to think ahead and embrace forward movement, whether by mapping out big picture goals or innovating on existing ideas. In turn, you’re the kind of grandparent who is happy to get the ball rolling on financial plans for your grandchild’s future, perhaps even before they’re born. You’ll also encourage them to be inventive, to network from the time they’re meeting other toddlers at the park, and to think about what kind of work they’d find most gratifying. 

February: The Creative, Dreamer Grandparent

Born when the sun was moving through eccentric fixed air sign Aquarius or rose-colored glasses-wearing mutable water sign Pisces, you’re no stranger to letting your imagination take flight. As a result, you’ll encourage grandchildren to tap into their artistic impulses, allow their imaginations to run wild, and rarely discourage them from being idealistic, wide-eyed, and fantastical. You could be the person who introduces them to some of their favorite novels, films, poems, or plays. You’re also deeply empathic and capable of reading between the lines when your grandchild is moving through heavy emotions, so they’ll know that no matter the uphill battle they may be facing, they can turn to you for healing and support.

March: The Heartfelt and Action-Oriented Grandparent

Because you were born while the sun was moving through empathic mutable water sign Pisces or go-getter cardinal fire sign Aries, you are in tune with your heart and your gut and are capable of trusting either to lead the way. You can teach your grandchild to do the same, honing their intuition and their impulses. Whether they want to learn how to ride a bike or get into a competitive college program, you’ll instill them with the sense that they can achieve whatever it is they set their mind to, as long as they’re willing to dive right in. 

April: The Grounded, No-Nonsense Grandparent

Born when the sun was moving through Aries, the take-charge, impulsive cardinal fire sign, or Taurus, the down-to-earth fixed earth sign, you’re determined and refuse to be bogged down by frivolous distractions in life. You also move at the pace you feel most comfortable. You’ll be eager to teach your grandchild all about these lessons, nudging them to stand strong in their convictions, to fight for what they believe in, and to either charge forward or take their time pursuing their aspirations, depending on what they’re after. And whether you’re baking cookies or taking nature walks together, you also know how to make the most of any given moment — something your grandchild will undoubtedly cherish you for.

May: The Playful, Practical Grandparent 

Whether you were born when the sun was moving through steady fixed earth sign Taurus or curious mutable air sign Gemini, you find it possible to be mindful and to make the most of any experience by applying all five senses. Though you do love certain traditions and have a go-to, pragmatic method for just about anything, you’re capable of pivoting when necessary, and your lighthearted, upbeat, social point of view is infectious. You’ll make heartfelt memories with your grandchild by sharing your love of learning and surprising them with your spontaneity.

June: The Cheerful, Nurturing Grandparent 

Born when the sun was in either bubbly mutable air sign Gemini or protective cardinal water sign Cancer, you’re communicative, emotionally intelligent, and adaptable. You’re also a big picture thinker, so coming up with fun-filled, sweeping plans for a day spent with your grandchild is absolutely in your wheelhouse. You’re genuinely eager to connect with your loved one through music, art, or just lively conversation — and also take great pride in your caregiving skills, whether you’re reading them a bedtime story or counseling them on a first breakup.  

July: The Emotionally Intelligent, Sunny Grandparent

Whether you came into the world when the sun was moving through nurturing cardinal water sign Cancer or driven, upbeat fixed fire sign Leo, you’re in sync with your heart and believe in allowing it to take the reins over your head on a regular basis. You’re passionate and believe emotions are meant to be felt and moved through versus brushed to the side, which is a key lesson you’ll be sure to teach your grandchildren. They’ll treasure time with you, because you’re not only a bright light but someone who’s endlessly devoted to your caregiving role.

August: The Charismatic, Service-Oriented Grandparent 

Whether you were born under magnetic, dramatic fixed fire sign Leo or service-oriented, cerebral mutable earth sign Virgo, you're a master of charm and showing up for others. Whenever your grandchild — or child in their capacity as a parent — has a problem that requires solving, you’ll be happy to lend a shoulder for them to lean on. You’re also happy to do any legwork required to address the challenge at hand. And when you’re in social situations together, you’ll model unparalleled friendliness, warmth, and the ability to engage just about anyone in a sparkling conversation. 

September: The Intuitive, Harmony-Seeking Grandparent

Born under either sensitive mutable earth sign Virgo or beauty-loving cardinal air sign Libra, you care deeply about showing up in the world in a way that boosts balance, peace, and diplomacy. You also thrive on being useful, so you’ll often find ways to support your grandchild (or child) in unexpected ways, whether you’re pitching in for a bake sale, offering up a Friday night so your kid can squeeze in a date night, or helping your tween grandchild navigate cliques and bullies. If you can help in a way that leads your loved ones to feel calm — even blissful — then you feel that you’ve done your job.

October: The Balance-Boosting, Fearless Grandparent

During your birth month, the sun moves through social butterfly cardinal air sign Libra and dynamic fixed water sign Scorpio, making you someone who values connecting with others and then moving through deeply transformative emotions within those bonds. In turn, you’re the kind of grandparent who shines when spending precious one-on-one time with your child and grandchild, whether you’re tending a garden, caring for the family pet, or doing crafts together. You’re also notably unafraid to take on life’s bumps in the road — a characteristic your grandchild is sure to want to emulate.

November: The Spiritual Mentor Grandparent 

Whether you were born under the transformation-seeking fixed water sign Scorpio or the adventurous mutable fire sign Sagittarius, you pour all of your heart, spirit, and soul into just about everything you do. You don’t shy away from taking risks, are a pro at cultivating personal power, and you’re eternally knowledge-seeking. In turn, your grandchildren will see you as a treasure trove of wisdom and a mentor who can help guide and support their personal growth. When they’re little, this could look like accompanying you to the zoo, a botanical garden, or a local library class, and when they’re older, you could engage in deep, meaningful conversations that alter both of your perspectives. 

December: The Goal-Oriented, In-the-Moment Grandparent

Born with your sun in either wanderlust-fueled mutable fire sign Sagittarius or hardworking cardinal earth sign Capricorn, you’re capable of setting bold intentions and putting your nose to the grindstone to make sure you accomplish your wildest dreams. Your grandchildren will be truly inspired by your innate gregariousness and ambitious nature, and they’ll learn quite a bit from your go-big-or-go-home approach. No matter how grand their plans might be, they know that you’ll have their back.

Shohei Ohtani's net worth in 2026 is going to go way up after his achievements on the field last year. In October 2025, he had what some consider one of the great performances in playoff history, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 4-0 series win over the Milwaukee Brewers and sending them to a World Series. L.A. went on to take home the Commissioner's Trophy, beating the Toronto Blue Jays in an incredible seven-game series.

Ohtani's historic performance follows his 2024 season's accomplishments, which saw the Dodgers go all the way to win the pennant. If you don't follow sports, you might assume that the 40/40 Club is just Jay-Z's chain of sports bars and lounges. However, the bar itself was named after a very elite club: Baseball players who both hit 40 home runs and stole 40 bases within a single season.

Ohtani hit that benchmark on Aug. 25, 2024, and he hit it in the shortest time frame of anyone in history: 126 games, as opposed to the previous record of 147 by Alfonso Sorianoin 2006.

Ohtani continues to be paid quite handsomely for his record-shattering accomplishments on the diamond as well: He's the highest-paid baseball player in history. Find out how he made it and what his contract is like.

How did Shohei Ohtani become famous?

By being really good at baseball.

Born July 5, 1994, in Iwate, Japan, Ohtani had baseball in his blood, as his father and older brother were both amateur baseball players in the Japanese Industrial League. Growing up, he was known as "yakyū shōnen," Japanese for "baseball boy," as he was obsessed with the game, and he displayed a preternatural talent for the sport from the time he was in elementary school.

Ohtani continued playing baseball in high school, where he was also such a talented swimmer that his former coach told the Los Angeles Times he may have well become an Olympian if he'd pursued that sport as well.

Though he initially planned to join Major League Baseball upon graduating high school, he changed his mind and signed with Japan's Hokaido Nippon-Ham Fighters in 2012 and remained with the team through 2017. That December, Ohtani signed with the Los Angeles Angels.

Ohtani's first season with the Angels was downright heavenly: Despite several injuries, he was named American League Rookie of the Month twice, as well as American League Rookie of the Year. He also tied Babe Ruth's record, becoming the only other MLB player to both pitch 10 games and hit 20 home runs in a single season. He continued making history and winning awards, including American League MVP, for the next several seasons.

Ohtani's contract with the Angels expired at the end of 2023, making him a free agent and a very hot commodity. After much deliberation and speculation, he signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers for a record-setting 10-year, $700 million contract—the biggest not just in the history of baseball, but in all professional sports. Ever.

What is Shohei Ohtani's net worth in 2026?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Shohei Ohtani's net worth in 2026 is about $150 million—way up from his $50 million net worth from only a year ago. He had been expected to make an estimated $65 million in endorsements alone, and it now seems like that was a conservative estimate.

What is Shohei Ohtani’s contract with the Dodgers?

Ohtani's contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers is worth a record-shattering $700 million for 10 years—and Sports Illustrated reports he intends to play out that entire decade. It's a smart move because if he doesn't, he forfeits most of that deal: He will only make $2 million per year of that decade, with an additional $680 million paid out in $68 million installments on July 1 every year beginning in 2034 and ending in 2043.
