Jeff Probst just revealed a surprising potential successor to him as the host of Survivor.

In an interview with The Wrap published on Monday, June 15, Probst was asked to make a short list of Survivor contestants who could possibly host the show someday.

"That’s a good question. Who could do it? I’d have to really think about it, if that was really happening. It’s a very, very, very small list," Probst said. "Because the mistake made is the observation that somebody’s hosting the show, therefore you should get a host. The observation’s correct: Somebody is hosting the show. The conclusion that you should get a host is the fallacy. You need a producer who can host. I was never just a host."

Probst has been hosting Survivor since its first season in 2000. In 2003, he joined the production team as a producer and was later bumped to executive producer and show runner in 2010 ahead of Survivor: Nicaragua.

"I would say you have to find somebody who knows story. The job of a host on a show like Survivor is you have to be able to know when a moment is unfolding and how to nurture it or grab it or get out of the way," he continued. "That’s a different skill than having the right shirt and a good haircut and somebody in your ear saying, 'Remember, the opening phrase is, Welcome to Survivor!’ That’s irrelevant. What’s more relevant is who do I want to talk to right now? Who has the more interesting story?"

Probst then answered the question, and instead of naming popular fan picks like Rick Devens or Boston Rob Mariano, he pointed to someone who is still completely unknown to viewers.

"Names get thrown around. I’m not trying to avoid your question, but I really don’t have an answer," he said. "You know, every so often I meet a player … There’s actually somebody in Season 51 that in casting, I think I said to them, 'You could probably host this show,' meaning your instincts as a storyteller and about people are so good that you could probably sit in this chair and you’d be just fine."

Survivor 51 airs this fall on CBS.

Travis Kelce has been making the most of his offseason, recently spending time in Los Angeles after a stretch that included a return to Ohio and some of the Cleveland restaurants and local spots he still holds dear. But it was his latest outing that had fans smiling.

According to a report by People, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end joined DJ Chris Lake onstage during the musician's June 19 concert at Los Angeles State Historic Park, where he danced, grabbed the microphone, and enthusiastically hyped up the crowd when a remix featuring a nod to his fiancée, Taylor Swift, came on.

Travis Kelce Couldn't Contain His Excitement Over the Taylor Swift Nod

Fan videos shared on social media showed Kelce dancing both on and off the stage throughout the evening. Dressed in a blue checkered overshirt and red hat, the 36-year-old NFL star appeared to be having the time of his life.

At one point, Lake handed Kelce a microphone while introducing a remix featuring a nod to the athlete's fiancée, Taylor Swift.

As the music played, Kelce jumped up and down while urging the crowd to get into the moment. "I know y'all feel it," he shouted before encouraging concertgoers to "lose your f---ing minds."

Other clips showed the tight end dancing alongside Lake behind the DJ booth and even wielding a bubble gun, sending bubbles toward the crowd, stage crew, and fellow performers.

The Couple Has Been Spending Plenty of Time Together

The concert appearance came during Kelce's stay in Los Angeles, where he was also scheduled to tape a live episode of New Heights with brother Jason Kelce.

According to People, Kelce had just flown to California after supporting Swift at the Songwriters Hall of Fame induction ceremony in New York. He reportedly left Chiefs minicamp early to attend the event, where Swift became the youngest woman ever inducted into the Hall of Fame.

The couple, who announced their engagement in August 2025, have continued to make headlines with recent date nights and public appearances.

But it was Kelce's reaction to hearing a Taylor Swift-inspired remix that had fans swooning, with the NFL star enthusiastically embracing the moment and making it clear he's still his fiancée's biggest cheerleader.

Love Island USA votes are never easy. The islanders give different reasons for keeping certain people on the show. Week 3 put the cast in a hard position after America voted for their favorite couples.

Episode 15 revealed the two islanders who were dumped from the island. The men picked a woman from the bottom three couples, and the women picked a man from the bottom three couples. They had different methods to determine who should be dumped and fans were confused by the "lustful" reason given.

Spoiler alert for Love Island USA Season 8 Episode 15!

Who Was Dumped From 'Love Island USA' on June 19?

The women picked Gabriel Vasconcelos to be dumped from the island, which shocked the men. He was previously coupled up with newcomer Jen Terry. They were affectionate during their short time together. Jen said she had feelings for Gabe. The men said they saved her because she was with him, and now she'll be single.

"My experience in the villa was great," Gabe told the camera. "I'm just surprised. I think they didn't understand that we're here to find our best connection. In my opinion, I did it."

The islanders talked more about the decision after saying goodbye to Gabriel and Jen. Aniya Harvey explained that Caleb McDaniel didn't get a chance since America coupled him up with Kenzie Annis, who went back to Corbin Mims.

"You're doing this all because of 'lust,'" KC Chandler said in a confessional. "We kiss each other every f---ing day. We're slapping each other's a--es, and we're doing all this stuff, but you're talking about lust. Are we not all lustful in this motherf---er?"

It seemed like the women didn't take Gabriel seriously since he started off with Beatriz Hatz. He later talked to Jen and Sol Dean and kissed them. The islanders wondered if he would do this again. The men didn't agree with the reasoning, and some fans agreed.

A Reddit user created a thread addressing the "lustful" comment. "All these comments about people being 'lustful' is getting out of hand [in my opinion]," the post read. "This is love island, hasn’t this show always been about lust? I mean they’re literally sucking toes in challenges and then shaming others for wanting physical affection. Is there really something wrong with someone wanting to kiss or get freaky with someone they’re partnered up with?"

A commenter believed it was a strategy. "It’s just [because] this cast is playing the game differently," someone wrote. "They coupled up quickly and want to treat the game like they’re already in deeper relationships. So being lustful is negative to them [because] it doesn’t show loyalty to the couple."

Previous seasons showed islanders taking more risks with bombshells. "Anyone who thinks Kenzie or Gabe are a problem would have died over the early seasons of UK," a fan wrote.

"The show is too meta," someone else claimed. "They're saving their images to have sponsorships and make sure they're [cast] on [Beyond the Villa]. Its a very boring cast."

The episode ended with the tease of Casa Amor. The men and women will be split into different villas with new cast members. They'll couple up with them and, in the end, choose either to return to the villa in hopes of finding their original partner or to bring back someone from casa.

This might be a sign that the women won't explore. But it wouldn't be the first time that Casa Amor gave us some surprises.

Jennifer Aniston is remembering one of the most important figures in her career.

The actress took to Instagram on Saturday, June 20, to pay tribute to legendary television director James Burrows, who died at age 85 on June 19.

Alongside a collection of photos spanning their decades-long friendship, Aniston shared an emotional message reflecting on the impact he had on her both on and off screen.

"Oh boy… 💔 Papa Burrows," she began the caption. 

To her, Burrows was much more than the man who directed some of television's most beloved sitcoms, including Friends, Cheers, Frasier, and Will & Grace. She described him as a mentor and father figure.

"He was a father figure to me. He always checked in on me. He worried about me, celebrated me, taught me, guided me, and held me through the hardest times and the best of times," she wrote. Aniston also reflected on the family atmosphere Burrows created among the casts he worked with over the years. "He called us his 'kids,'" she shared, recalling how he would often ask, "Where are the kids?" and "Let's see if the kids can make the joke work."

The actress credited Burrows with teaching lessons that extended far beyond television. "Most of all, he taught us—the kids—how important it is to love and respect one another. To take care of each other. To have each other's backs and support each other, no matter what."

The emotional tribute concluded with Aniston reflecting on what she'll miss most. "I miss your voice. I miss your laugh. I miss your brilliance."

Aniston famously played the beloved Rachel Green in the sitcom for 10 years. And she wasn't the only Friends star to honor Burrows following the news of his passing.

Matt LeBlanc shared photos with the director and wrote, "Jimmy, words cannot describe the impact and influence you had on us and everyone who was lucky enough to have known you."

David Schwimmer also paid tribute, praising Burrows for how he "brought out the best in every actor he ever worked with, and elevated every show he directed, making it funnier and more moving than anyone expected."

Burrows' family confirmed that the legendary director died on Friday at the age of 85 following a battle with cancer. Over a career spanning more than five decades, he helped shape some of television's most beloved comedies, earning 11 Emmy Awards and directing more than 1,000 episodes of television.

President Donald Trump is making over Washington, D.C., piece by piece. Along with paving over the White House Rose Garden and turning it into a patio lined with roses, attempting to rename the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and renovating the East Wing ballroom, the commander in chief also set his sights on the National Mall’s Reflecting Pool. 

Last April, the President posted on Truth Social, “Starting the final phase of Renovation that was supposed to cost 301 Million Dollars, and take three years, and was instead done, with the help of Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, and his entire Department, and a much better result — 2 Million Dollars in one week!”

While Trump initially pitched his new project as a major improvement that would transform the Reflecting Pool into a bright, shining ‘American flag blue’ hue, something went horribly wrong. Instead of crystal-clear water, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is plagued by a persistent algae problem and peeling blue material. 

WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 14: Algae is pictured in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool following the completion of recent renovations on June 14, 2026 in Washington, DC. The reflecting pool construction project started in April and work was completed last week as part of President Donald Trump’s plan ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary. (Photo by Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images)

On Friday, Trump took to Truth Social again, posting his take on the unsightly issue: “We’ve had some real problems with Vandalism at the beautiful Reflecting Pool, which sits between The Washington Monument and The Lincoln Memorial. Just like three days ago, they destroyed the grass outside of the Pool, they’ve also done everything possible to hurt the inside surface that was just installed.”

Trump continued, “No different than the chemicals that were used on the National Mall, they used something similar in the Reflecting Pool to try to destroy and demean our beautiful work. Lightweight ABC Reporter, Jonathan Karl, was seen sticking his hand into the Pool, and trying to rip the rubber off of the surface.” 

Yes, Karl reached into the murky water and picked up a piece of material that had already peeled away from the surface. But the reporter clearly didn’t vandalize the Pool. But as it turns out, Karl isn’t the only person that the government now blames. 

According to recent reports, a former Olympic athlete was arrested by U.S. Park Police for vandalizing the monument. Canoe Slalom Olympian David Hearn, who competed for the U.S. in the 1992, 1996, and 2000 Games, was detained for misdemeanor destruction of government property while cycling past the monument on Friday. 

Per The Washington Post, Hearn had reached into the water (much like Karl) to feel the detaching liner. He later said of the incident, “I didn’t vandalize anything.” 

The former Olympian added, “I didn't destroy or break or peel anything. By the time I realized what was going on, I was being put in handcuffs.” Hearn is now set to appear in Washington, D.C., Superior Court on July 9.

35. My Father
Who took me from my mother’s arms, and smiling at her soft alarms, showed me the world and nature’s charms?
My Father.
Who as we grew up day by day would teach his children’s minds to stray along fair learning’s flowery way?
My Father.
Who was it who took such great delight to show us how to act aright, nor, like the idle, scratch and fight?
My Father.
Who from each flower and verdant stalk, gathered a honeyed store of talk, to cheer the long, delightful walk?
My Father.
Not on an insect would he tread,
Or crush the snail or beetle dead;
Who taught at once my heart and head?
My Father.
Who climbed with me the mountain’s height, and watched my look of dread delight while rose the glorious orb of light?
My Father.
And when my kite I wished to try, who held the string to make it fly, while pleasure sparkled in my eye?
My Father.

Toiling, toiling all day long
With his will and might,
Humming tune, or whistling song
From the morn till night:
Ever happy at his work,
Ever gay and free,
Never does he duty shirk,
But content is he.
Cheerful is his little home,
Though of meager size,
Ne’er he cares from it to roam,
There his treasure lies,
There his heart’s delight is found,
There his joy and pride,
With his children playing ’round,
Sweet wife by his side.
Early does he rise at morn,
To his work he goes
His day’s duty to perform
Without pain or woes.
Fully well is he aware
Of his family’s needs,
Amply does he store prepare,
And. always succeeds.
Thus, the happy father lives
For his children’s sake;
Thus, to them example gives
Of which they partake.
—Charles Fred White

37. Fathers Are Like Mountains
Fathers can be solitary mountains,
All their love is rock-like, steep, and strong.
Though warm and caring, somehow, they belong
Halfway home to mothers' bubbling fountains.
Each of us needs love that knows no quarter,
Reminding us of bonds that cross a border,
Strengthening our sense of right and wrong.

Daveigh Chase's mom is breaking her silence on her daughter's tragic death.

According to the actress's boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, who spoke to TMZ, Chase died on Tuesday, June 16 at the age of 35 from meningitis and a blood infection which led to sepsis. She had also been admitted to a Los Angeles hospital earlier in June due to malnutrition.

Daveigh's mother, Cathy Chase, opened up about her reaction to learning of her daughter's death in an interview with the Daily Mail published Friday, June 19.

“I was devastated. It felt like something inside of me squeezing all of the air out of me, and at the same time, It felt like I was exploding outwardly,” Cathy said. “I let out this guttural scream and I just was running, and these weird sounds were coming out of me, like, primeval sounds. I went out into the backyard, and I was screaming, 'No, no, no, no!' I am in so much pain but I hope her soul heard me.”

Cathy also told the outlet that she frequently worried about Daveigh's health in the years leading up to her death, alleging that her daughter struggled with substance abuse after suffering a back injury in a 2016 motorcycle accident.

“I would just put her name in the coroner’s [search system] and see if her name came up and if somebody had her somewhere,” Cathy said. “I would look at their list of unidentified bodies. It was very difficult, but you do everything you can as a mother.”

The actress was also reportedly homeless before her death.

“She was seeking drugs and was partying with the wrong people,” Cathy added. “I never kicked my daughter out. She wanted freedom and these people got her hooked on some drugs. That was the beginning.”

Cathy then claimed that she last saw Daveigh in October 2019.

“She was completely gone, like, out of her mind. I honestly thought there was something wrong with her,” she added. “My daughter was never diagnosed with mental health other than PTSD, but the drugs took hold of her.”

Ultimately, Cathy was able to see her daughter one last time in the hospital after her death.

“[The hospital chaplain and I] were able to lay hands and pray,” Cathy said. “Technically, we were touching the glass, but it’s as close as we could get, so we were able to lay hands and pray for her. It was a beautiful experience, and, and I feel very blessed, too, have been able to share that with my daughter.”

Chase was best known for voicing Lilo in the Disney film Lilo & Stitch in 2002 and playing Samara in the horror filmThe Ring released later than same year.

Her other acting credits include voicing Chihiro Ogino in Spirited Away, a recurring role in the HBO series Big Love, and appearances in Donnie Darko, Beethoven’s 5th, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, ER, Mercy, and more.

On June 20, Nicole Kidman turned 59. The prolific actress posted a photo of herself enjoying nature and sunshine along with a caption, "Another trip around the sun." While many of her longtime friends, such as Reese Witherspoon and Naomi Watts, wished her a happy birthday, fans are especially taking notice of Sandra Bullock's Instagram tribute.

A 'Practical Magic 2' Birthday Shoutout

With less than three months to go until the release of Practical Magic 2, many are thrilled that she referenced the film in her sweet birthday shoutout to her co-star and screen sister.

"Happy birthday to my witchy sister," she captioned her video montage. "Call it magic when I'm next to you." Along with a pink heart, she posted a magic wand emoji.

The videos show Kidman, Joey King, Bullock, and what appears to be other cast members dancing and having a great time at a performance at the Las Vegas Sphere. Another shows Kidman and Bullock shooting as Gillian and Sally Owens, hugging and being affectionate. Interspersed throughout are scenes from the upcoming film.

King will portray Kylie Owens in the sequel, a role that was played by Evan Rachel Wood in the 1998 film. King posted her own message to her onscreen aunt. "Happy birthday to the most stunning person outside and in [Nicole Kidman]," she captioned her Instagram story.

'Right Back Into It'

The two actresses hadn't worked with each other on anything since Practical Magic, but they both said that they'd longed to reunite. They called making the sequel a fun experience, with Kidman saying that the duo really are "like sisters."

"We were just right back into it," she told PEOPLE. "I adore her and she is so funny and so lovable. And we're just having the best time together."

In a resurfaced interview, TODAY shared a clip of Bullock talking about their friendship. She stated that the alcohol they consumed during reshoots helped them bond.

"The fact is, we don't have anything in common, except for at the dinner table with a bottle of wine and everything blends sort of together," she explained.

"And Nicole just put the bottle on the table and said, ‘You know what? There’s no reason we shouldn’t be drunk here.’ And I said, ‘You know what? That’s true," Bullock added.

Decades after their first pairing, Bullock's birthday message proves that the bond between the Practical Magic sisters remains as strong as ever. With the highly anticipated sequel just around the corner, the genuine affection between Kidman, Bullock, and their new castmates promises a magical return to the screen.

The Traitors UK contestant Sam Little is opening up about a devastating financial loss after revealing that he was scammed out of £40,000—money he says represented his entire life savings.

In an interview with BBC News, the season 4 cast member shared details of the incident, explaining how fraudsters convinced him they were contacting him on behalf of his bank before stealing the funds.

Little appeared on the most recent civilian season of the hit BBC reality competition series, where he competed as a Faithful before being banished in episode eight. His story comes as interest in the franchise continues to grow, with Parade recently reporting that The Traitors will launch its first-ever civilian season this fall.

Sam Little Says the Scam Cost Him £40,000

According to Little, the ordeal began in January, the same month The Traitors aired, when he received a series of text messages that appeared to come from his bank. The messages warned that someone was attempting to access his account and encouraged him to get in touch.

Speaking to BBC News, Little said the scammers appeared legitimate because they never asked for passwords or verification codes. "They didn't ask me for any passwords, they didn't ask me for any verification codes," he explained.

Little said the fraudsters somehow gained access to a webpage he regularly used, making the scheme appear even more convincing.

"They were somehow able to hack into the web page I would normally interact with. Before I knew it, the phone went dead and everything had gone," he said.

The reality TV star described the experience as emotionally devastating. "It feels like your world's just collapsing," Little told the outlet. "You work solidly for years to build this up, and it's just gone."

The Reality Star Wants Others to Learn From His Experience

Little admitted that he previously believed he was knowledgeable enough to avoid scams but now feels anyone can become a victim. "I thought I was savvy," he said, adding that scammers can "catch anyone."

"It's really scary."

According to the report, Little filed a complaint with Report Fraud, but an investigation has not yet begun. When contacted by the BBC, the organization said it was conducting a manual review of the case and noted that cryptocurrency-related fraud can be particularly complex to investigate.

The incident comes amid growing concern about cryptocurrency scams in the United Kingdom. Report Fraud warns that crypto investment fraud is among the fastest-growing forms of fraud in the country, and victims often face significant challenges recovering lost funds.

While Little has not recovered the money, he hopes sharing his story will help others avoid similar situations. His experience serves as a reminder that even people who consider themselves cautious and informed can become targets of increasingly sophisticated scams.

After one week of waiting, Dua Lipa has finally shared the first photos from her wedding to Callum Turner.

Lipa and Turner officially tied the knot on Sunday, May 31, in a private civil wedding in London. But the festivities didn’t end there. The couple hosted a three-day wedding in Palermo, Sicily, last weekend, reportedly at the Villa Valguarnera, according to Vogue.

Photos from the wedding were taken by David Sims, a British fashion photographer. Lipa shared the photos on Instagram with simply the caption, “Mr & Mrs.”

The first photo shows Turner and Lipa sharing a sweet moment beneath her veil, while another shows the couple opening a bottle of champagne with friends. The post gained over eight million likes within the first five hours, with fans and friends flocking to the comment section to share their congratulations.

“JAW DROPPED,” Dalia Shawky commented. “Congratulations beautiful! Happy hearts forever!”

Elton John, who, according to Vanity Fair, sang his hit song “Your Love” at the ceremony, also commented.

“Congratulations, an honour to have been there to celebrate your love,” the artist wrote.

Since the photos dropped, fans have been obsessed with Lipa’s dresses for the three-day wedding weekend. On the first night, the couple had welcome drinks with their friends, where Lipa wore a white leather dress made by Bottega Veneta. At brunch on Sunday, she wore a custom Chloé dress, and for her actual wedding, she wore Chanel’s first ever haute couture wedding dress designed by Matthieu Blazy.

“The dress featured an intricate low back and fell into a sweeping, feather-dappled train,” Vogue wrote. “Lipa also wore a feather-detailed headpiece and a long embroidered veil.”

Lipa’s dress was entirely hand-embroidered with 480,000 beads, Vogue said. The l’oeil jewels required 1,155 hours of needlework by Lesage, and the dress featured 25,000 feathers by Lemarié.

“Your dress is just everything,” one fan commented on Instagram.

Soup is often considered a cold-weather staple, but I've always enjoyed eating it all year long. As someone who loves the summer heat, I'm not easily fazed by hot dishes on a sweltering day, so I often find myself eating soup during a heat wave. Needless to say, I was all-in when Parade asked me to do a taste test of Olive Garden's four soup varieties.

Olive Garden is known for serving authentic Italian dishes like chicken parmigiana, lasagna and spaghetti and meatballs. The restaurant chain's Soup, Salad and Breadsticks menu item has also gained a loyal following of diners who prefer a lighter meal when they dine out. If you like the best of both worlds, many entrées also come with a choice of soup or salad to kick off your meal.

I don't often eat soup when I go out to eat, probably because I eat it so often at home (tomato soup is my go-to). But I was excited to switch things up a bit. Many years ago, I tried Olive Garden's Chicken & Gnocchi soup, and was pretty fond of it. But I hadn't tested the other three yet, so I was ready to see how the rest of them measured up.

How I Tested the Olive Garden Soups

Since I'm a bit of a picky eater, I grabbed my friend Julie, who is much more adventurous, to offer two different perspectives on the soups. We headed to our nearest Olive Garden and tried all four soups, paired with the restaurant's famous garlic breadsticks.

We tried the soups in the following order:

• Chicken & Gnocchi
• Zuppa Toscana
• Pasta e Fagioli 
• Minestrone

After tasting each soup, we compared notes and ranked them from our favorite to least favorite.

What Kind of Soup Does Olive Garden Have?

Olive Garden offers four homemade soup varieties on its menu:

• Pasta e Fagioli: "White and red beans, ground beef, fresh tomatoes and tubetti pasta in a savory broth."
• Zuppa Toscana: "Spicy Italian sausage, kale and potatoes in a creamy broth. Made without gluten-containing ingredients."
• Minestrone: "Fresh vegetables, beans and pasta in a light tomato broth."
• Chicken & Gnocchi: "A creamy soup made with roasted chicken, Italian dumplings and spinach."

Customers can enjoy a bowl of soup or salad with many entrées. If you only want to have soup for lunch, you can also order the unlimited Soup and Salad and Breadsticks ($11.49) menu item between 11 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Or, you can order the Soup and Salad and Breadsticks ($13.99) menu item any day of the week at other times.

When ordering these two menu items, customers can enjoy multiple varieties of soup. For instance, you can try all four soups in a row.

Can You Really Buy a Gallon of Soup from Olive Garden?

Yes! Whether you want enough soup to last you several days or you're hosting a party, Olive Garden sells its soups by the gallon. Each item serves 12 people and retails for $33.49.

Every Olive Garden Soup, Ranked Worst To Best

Here's our official ranking based on our taste-test of all four soup options at Olive Garden.

4. Minestrone Soup

My review of the soup: Out of the four soups Julie and I tested, the minestrone soup was our least favorite. We were both clear to note that it wasn't bad; it simply had some stiff competition.

The minestrone soup is a great option for vegetarians or if you're in the mood for something light and packed with veggies. The broth is a tad salty and watery compared to the thicker soup varieties, but the veggies are nice and soft and the pasta is tasty and tender.

3. Zuppa Toscana Soup

How Olive Garden describes the soup: "Spicy Italian sausage, kale and potatoes in a creamy broth. Made without gluten-containing ingredients."

My review of the soup: I'm not usually a fan of sausage but it gave the soup's broth a little spicy kick that wasn't overpowering. The base of the soup isn't as creamy as the Chicken & Gnocchi soup, but it's slightly creamier than a typical broth.

My favorite part of the soup was the extra soft potatoes. I don't normally eat kale, but when submerged in the broth, it was soft and I could see myself eating it in soup form in the future.

2. Pasta e Fagioli Soup

How Olive Garden describes the soup: "White and red beans, ground beef, fresh tomatoes and tubetti pasta in a savory broth."

My review of the soup: As soon as we started eating the Pasta e Fagioli soup, Julie wisely declared that it was "perfect for a cold winter day" since it's nice and hearty. My mom makes a mean chop suey with tomato soup and ground beef and this reminded me a bit of that flavor, except with a small kick to it.

I enjoyed the beef and tubetti pasta, both of which were cooked to perfection, and even found myself liking the beans (a surprise for a picky eater like me). I've never been a fan of tomatoes, but it was easy to skip around them.

1. Chicken & Gnocchi Soup

Courtesy Chrissy Callahan

How Olive Garden describes the soup: "A creamy soup made with roasted chicken, Italian dumplings and spinach."

My review of the soup: Julie and I began our tasting with the Chicken & Gnocchi soup. Going into this experience, I'd previously tried this particular soup in years past, so I already had an idea of what it tasted like, but this was my first time eating it in many years.

Both of us were instantly fans of the smooth, creamy base, and I enjoyed dipping the garlic breadsticks in it. The gnocchi was incredibly soft and pillowy (just the way I like it), and the chicken was nice and tender.

I'm not normally a huge fan of spinach, but it added a touch of subtle flavor. I'm also not a big veggie gal, but the celery and carrots were ultra soft and made me think that I should really try hiding veggies in my soups at home to increase my veggie intake.

I enjoyed the gnocchi so much that I wished there were a few more pieces in the soup. Honestly, the gnocchi was so good that I'm surprised Olive Garden hasn't made it one of their pasta dishes!

Heathen has no plans of slowing down, even after its upcoming run with Metal Church.

The Bay Area thrash metal veterans have announced a new string of North American headlining dates for summer 2026, with support from Louisiana metal band Void on most shows. The newly announced run begins July 27 in Raleigh, North Carolina, following Heathen's co-headlining dates with Metal Church, and concludes Aug. 9 in Toronto.

"Immediately following our run of dates with Metal Church, we'll be headlining more of North America with support from Void!” the band wrote on Instagram. "Get your tickets now and we'll see you in the pit!"

The new headlining trek follows a series of performances alongside fellow thrash pioneers Metal Church across the United States and Canada, giving fans an extended opportunity to catch Heathen on the road this summer.

View this post on Instagram

Formed in San Francisco in 1984, Heathen emerged during the second wave of the Bay Area thrash movement alongside bands such as Exodus, Testament and Death Angel.

While the group never reached the commercial heights of some of its contemporaries, albums including Breaking the Silence and Victims of Deception earned Heathen a devoted following thanks to the band's technical musicianship, intricate songwriting and melodic approach to thrash metal.

After disbanding in the early 1990s, Heathen reunited in 2001 and has remained an active force in the genre ever since. The band's most recent studio album, Empire of the Blind, was released in 2020 to widespread critical acclaim, introducing its brand of progressive thrash to a new generation of listeners.

"The songs and the albums are very much a big part of me," singer David White said in an interview. "When I look back it’s an evolution of what we've done and how far we’ve come, another step towards…well whatever, really. It's another piece of art that we’ve done and we’re trying to achieve a superior record than before."

More than four decades after first forming, Heathen continues to build on its legacy through relentless touring and new music. With a full North American itinerary stretching across July and August, the band is showing that one of thrash metal's most respected names remains as active as ever.

Just days after shocking viewers with a somber update on the season finale of Clarkson's Farm, Jeremy Clarkson is offering fans some reassuring news.

The longtime BBC television personality took to Instagram on Saturday, June 20, with an important video message after delivering the shocking news of his aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis. 

Clarkson began his video update by dryly saying, "Now the more observant among you will have noticed that I'm not dead."

View this post on Instagram

The 66-year-old quickly reassured fans that his prognosis is positive. "And I'm not just not dead, I'm perfectly fine," he said. "My eyebrows in particular are looking very lustrous." Clarkson explained that the reason he's doing so well is because doctors were able to catch the cancer early. "And they caught it early because I got tested," he also noted.

The Top Gear alum then used the opportunity to encourage other men to get screened, dismissing outdated fears about prostate exams. "It's just a blood test these days," he explained before urging viewers not to ignore potential warning signs.

His message comes just days after viewers learned that Clarkson had been quietly battling the disease for more than a year. During the final episodes of Clarkson's Farm season five, Clarkson sat down with land agent Charlie Ireland and farm hand Kaleb Cooper and bluntly told them, "I've got cancer." He later explained that the disease had been discovered in May 2025.

According to the series, Clarkson underwent surgery in August 2025 as part of his treatment plan and kept the diagnosis private for more than a year.

Now, with treatment behind him and his health improving, Clarkson is focused on spreading awareness. "10, 12,000 people, men—to be honest—die every year in the UK. From prostate cancer," he said in his latest video. "Don't be one of them. Get tested."

Gordon Ramsey's daughter Holly has announced she is expecting her first baby with her Olympian husband, Adam Peaty. It is the first grandchild for the Masterchef judge.

Taking to Instagram showing her bump, the 26-year-old announced: "Baby Ramsay-Peaty coming December 2026. We can’t wait to meet our baby girl."  Adam is an English swimmer with three Olympic gold medals and three silvers to his name.

View this post on Instagram

This marks the first child for Holly. Adam has a five-year-old son named George-Anderson Adetola Peaty, born in September 2020, with his ex-partner Eirianedd Munro.

The happy news comes less than one year after Holly married swinner Adam in a lavish ceremony at England’s Bath Abbey in December 2025, where proud dad Gordan walked her down the aisle.

Their wedding hit the headlines after Adam's family refused to attend. As reported by the Independent, some of Adam's family were uninvited by the couple, leaving his mum, Caroline, distressed. She also claimed that she made a speech at her son’s engagement party that was omitted from the TV chef’s Netflix documentary.

Per the Independent, Peaty publicly acknowledged the feud, writing on Instagram that there are “two sides to every story”. 

Gordon spoke to the Daily Mailabout the difficult situation. "It's just upsetting. It's all self-inflicted from their side, because we've done nothing – none of what you've read: no rudeness, no ignorance – we welcomed them. We sent a chauffeur-driven car for them to come to the engagement party and treated them like royalty. So to get that barrage of press was very hurtful. Tana took it very seriously."

Holly is one of six children Gordon has with his wife Tana. They welcomed Megan in 1998, Holly and her twin brother Jack in 1999, Tilly in 2001, Oscar in 2019, and Jesse in 2023, according to People.

Trader Joe's Limoncello Candle Looks Surprisingly Luxe

The newest home find to hit Trader Joe's is the Limoncello Scented Candle, a limited-edition candle that costs just $9.99. The candle comes in a striped ceramic jar with a matching lid that feels straight out of an Italian beach club. Yes, please!

The design has drawn plenty of comparisons to Anthropologie's fan-favorite Fruity Tuscan Zest Ceramic Candle, which retails for $28. While the scents are slightly different, both candles feature cheerful citrus vibes and decorative ceramic vessels that double as home decor.

Fans on Reddit can't get enough of Trader Joe's version. One person wrote, "Take my money," while another said, "The ceramic makes it feel so luxe." Others admitted they're stocking up on multiples because the jar is just that cute.

The Perfect Candle for Summer 2026

If there's one fragrance dominating summer 2026, it's limoncello. The scent combines bright lemon notes with subtle sweetness, creating an aroma that feels sunny, energizing and nostalgic all at once.

It's also deeply tied to images of Mediterranean vacations and leisurely summer evenings. Trader Joe's leans into that cozy fantasy, suggesting the candle for everything from patio sunset hangs to softly lit dinners at home.

One Reddit user summed it up perfectly, writing that the fragrance smells like what they imagine real limoncello tastes like. That's high praise for a candle that costs less than $10.

Of course, the ceramic container is absolutely the real star of the show. Even after the candle burns down, the striped jar and lid can live on as decor or storage. It would look so cute holding cotton balls or other essentials on the bathroom counter.

For shoppers who love Anthropologie's playful aesthetic but prefer Trader Joe's prices, this limited-edition candle may be one of the best home finds of summer 2026.

In recent news, we learned that Kendra Wilkinson has been dealing with a lot, from the body shaming she's faced since taking a GLP-1 to apparently being estranged from one of her former co-stars. Holly Madison has opened up about her relationship with former Girls Next Door co-star Kendra Wilkinson and why the pair haven't spoken in more than a decade.

During a recent appearance on the Hot Goss podcast, Madison reflected on the fallout that ended their friendship, revealing that she believes outside influences and post-show tensions played a significant role in driving them apart.

Holly Madison Says a Producer Contributed to Their Falling Out

According to Madison, the breakdown in her relationship with Wilkinson occurred after The Girls Next Door ended, and both women moved on to separate projects.

"Kendra and I don't speak, but I'm not opposed to speaking," Madison said on the podcast.

While discussing what happened, Madison explained that she believes a producer they both worked with after the show was responsible for the tension between them.

"We had a falling out, but it was after the show," she said. "It was stuff that had to do with our spin-offs and working with the same producer, and I really feel like he tried to pit us against each other and got in our heads. So, that's a shame."

Madison and Wilkinson rose to fame alongside Bridget Marquardt on the hit reality series The Girls Next Door, which chronicled life inside the Playboy Mansion while the women were dating Playboy founder Hugh Hefner.

Although Madison admitted she and Wilkinson were never as close as she was with Marquardt, she said she still considered Wilkinson a friend because of the experiences they shared together.

"We were never as close, obviously, as me and Bridget—we don't have much in common," Madison explained. "But we shared a lot of experiences and had a lot of good times together, so I never thought of her as not a friend."

Madison Says Kendra Wilkinson Became 'Caught Up' in the Spotlight

Madison also suggested that Wilkinson became increasingly influenced by tabloid attention following the show's success.

According to Madison, she was surprised when Wilkinson publicly stated years ago that the two women were never friends.

"I’m sitting here like, 'Wait, I just sent your son a Christmas gift. We're not friends? That's so weird,'" Madison recalled. "So I think she was just really caught up."

The comments appear to reference a public disagreement that dates back more than a decade. In 2015, Wilkinson criticized Madison's memoir Down the Rabbit Hole, while Madison later spoke about feeling hurt by Wilkinson's remarks.

At the time, Wilkinson famously pushed back on the idea that the two shared a close friendship, saying their connection stemmed primarily from their relationship with Hefner.

Despite the years of distance between them, Madison indicated that she has no interest in continuing the feud. Instead, her latest comments suggest she views the situation as an unfortunate consequence of the pressures that followed their reality television success.

While the former co-stars remain estranged today, Madison made it clear that she is not opposed to reconnecting in the future if the opportunity ever arises.

House of the Dragon Season 3 CastEmma D'Arcy as Rhaenyra Targaryen Emma D'Arcy as Rhaenyra Targaryen in 'House of the Dragon'

Ollie Upton/HBO
