More than 30 years after Jerry Garcia first imagined it, one of the Grateful Dead icon's most ambitious creative projects is finally becoming reality.

Jerry Garcia Music Arts announced Monday, Aug. 3, that Eyes of the World: The Jerry Garcia Experience will launch in San Francisco in early 2027 before embarking on a nationwide tour. The 40,000-square-foot immersive exhibition will celebrate Garcia's music, artwork and lifelong creative vision through interactive multimedia installations inspired by ideas he began developing decades ago.

According to the announcement, Garcia began sketching the concept more than 30 years ago alongside author Ken Kesey and producer Cary Granat. Together, they envisioned an immersive experience celebrating "joy, freedom, and unconventional individualism." Although Garcia died before it could be completed, the project has now been revived by Granat, members of Garcia's family and a team of multimedia artists using his original creative blueprint.

"My father began creating this exhibit with Cary more than 30 years ago. It was his dream project," Garcia's youngest daughter Keelin Garcia said in a statement. "Bringing it to life as he imagined is a deeply meaningful experience. We are honored to work with the people he trusted creatively."

Named after one of Garcia's best-known songs, the exhibition will feature eight immersive rooms exploring different chapters of his life, from his early years in San Francisco and pioneering work in sound technology to his visual art, philosophy, humanitarian efforts and even his passion for scuba diving and ocean conservation. Visitors will also journey through a recreation of Golden Gate Park and the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood circa 1966 before ending the experience with live performances from carefully curated Jerry Garcia tribute bands.

San Francisco will host the inaugural exhibition before it travels to cities including Chicago, Nashville, New York and Los Angeles. Additional dates, ticket information and the San Francisco schedule are expected to be announced in the coming months. A portion of proceeds will support arts education, music initiatives and environmental conservation through the Jerry Garcia Foundation.

The announcement continues a busy stretch for Grateful Dead fans. Earlier this summer, organizers unveiled Forever Grateful at Golden Gate Park, another large-scale San Francisco exhibition featuring hundreds of artifacts, immersive installations and memorabilia celebrating the band's legacy.

Together, the two experiences offer fans new ways to explore Garcia's lasting influence on music, art and American culture.

Rosie O'Donnell is headed back to The View for season 30.

O'Donnell, 64, who famously appeared on the legendary chat show for single-season stints that ended in 2007 and 2015, appeared on Monday's episode of The Tangle podcast and shared that she will participate “in whatever way they want” her “just as a guest” for season 30 of the show.

“I will go on the 30th anniversary next [season],” O’Donnell shared on the podcast, according to a transcript provided to Entertainment Weekly, confirming that she was asked to return to the show in the past.

O'Donnell added that “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”

O’Donnell Had a Facelift

O’Donnell recently took to her Substack page to share a deeply personal essay about how she previously vowed never to have plastic surgery. However, she had a change of heart earlier this year when she decided to have a lower deep plane facelift.

“I used to feel very strongly about facelifts,” O’Donnell wrote on Substack. “Not casually — morally. I had assigned myself as head of all women who would never – ever. I thought it was a betrayal. Of feminism. Of aging. Of our team of women worldwide.  And then I lost 50 pounds.”

Feeling like gravity was getting the best of her after her dramatic weight loss, O’Donnell would look in the mirror and say, “This isn’t aging, this is melting with intention.” Her 13-year-old child, Clay, didn’t like the idea of plastic surgery, telling O’Donnell she “earned her wrinkles.” While she put off the procedure for months, she finally went under the knife in January.

O’Donnell shared a photo of her results on Instagram.

In the last couple of years, O’Donnell has been open about her 50-pound weight loss as a result of using Mounjaro. She went into more detail in a March 2025 TikTok video, sharing why she had started taking the medication. She also noted that, in addition to starting the medication to deal with her health issues, she had been spending more time cooking for her child, Clay.

“I’ve lost more weight. I am on Mounjaro for my diabetes, and one of the side effects is you lose weight,” she explained. “But it’s also because I had a chef for over two years in Los Angeles and I don’t have a chef now. It’s me cooking for Clay and me.”

Your urinary health likely isn’t something you think about until something goes wrong—and then it’s all you can think about. Ever try to get through the day when you’re battling a UTI? Not fun. 

As we age, it’s even more important to think about bladder health because bladder conditions (including UTIs, bladder cancer and bladder prolapse) are more common among older adults. This is due to physical changes that happen with age, such as weakened pelvic floor muscles and loss of bladder elasticity.

How can you support your urinary health as you age? Staying hydrated is a great place to start. So is eating high-fiber food. Fiber doesn’t just support your gut health. It supports bladder health by preventing constipation, which puts more pressure on the bladder. Other foods that support bladder health are eggs, lean proteins and garlic.

There’s one common habit that could be negatively impacting your bladder health without you even realizing it. Here, a urologist reveals what it is, why it’s harmful and what to do instead.

The Common Item That Could Be Negatively Impacting Your Bladder Health

PSA: If you wear tight underwear, it may be time to throw them out. Wearing them could be negatively impacting your bladder health without you even realizing it. “In women, very tight, non-breathable underwear can create a warm, moist environment that may contribute to skin irritation or changes in the balance of bacteria and yeast around the vulva,” says Dr. Anika Ackerman, MD, a urologist and health expert at LiviWell. 

Dr. Ackerman explains that when a warm, moist environment changes the balance of bacteria and yeast around the vulva, it can lead to urinary tract infections for women who are prone to them.

“While it doesn’t directly cause a UTI, irritation and changes in the local environment may make some women more susceptible, particularly if they already have recurrent infections. Anatomically, women are much more prone to UTIs because the urethra is much shorter, so this is far less of a concern for most men,” she tells Parade.

Believe it or not, there has been scientific research showing this to be true. A 2025 scientific review published in Medicina found that wearing close-fitting underwear can alter a woman’s bacterial makeup. 

Snug undergarments can also negatively impact the skin.

“Tight underwear increases friction, traps heat and moisture, and can lead to chafing, irritation and contact dermatitis. In people who exercise or sweat frequently, it may also contribute to fungal infections such as jock itch. If you notice persistent redness, itching or painful bumps, your underwear may be part of the problem,” Dr. Ackerman says.

Men aren’t off the hook when it comes to close-fitting underwear, either. Dr. Ackerman notes that when a man does this, it could temporarily increase scrotal temperature, which some studies suggest could affect sperm production. But before you freak out, she emphasizes that the overall effect on fertility is likely modest.

To be clear, your undergarments shouldn't be falling off of you—telltale signs that your underwear is too tight include red marks on your skin from it, or pinching, digging or restricted movement.

The Best Underwear for Urinary Health

Okay, so you’re throwing out all your tight underwear, right? What should you keep in mind when shopping for new ones? Dr. Ackerman recommends buying well-fitting underwear that is made from breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics. “Cotton is still one of the best choices because it’s breathable, absorbs moisture, and is less likely to trap heat,” she says. 

For working out or on hot days when you might be sweating a lot, Dr. Ackerman recommends underwear made with sweat-wicking performance fabric can be beneficial. Remember: The moisture from sweat can mess with your bacteria and yeast balance, which is something you definitely don’t want.

Other Common Mistakes People Make When It Comes To Urinary Health

Besides wearing snug underwear, there is another common mistake people make when it comes to urinary health. “One of the most common mistakes is staying in sweaty underwear after exercising or wearing wet swimsuits for long periods,” Dr. Ackerman says.

By now, you can probably guess why. Yep, it’s the moisture that’s the problem. “Moisture creates an environment where yeast and bacteria thrive,” she tells Parade.

Another common mistake is using heavily fragranced detergents or fabric softeners if you have sensitive skin. This, Dr. Ackerman explains, can lead to skin irritation that is so bothersome that it’s often mistaken for an infection. 

If you’re curious about whether you should wear underwear while you sleep, Dr. Ackerman notes there isn’t one hard and fast rule; it’s really a personal choice. However, if you are a woman who is prone to recurrent yeast infections or vulvar irritation, it can be beneficial to skip wearing underwear to bed to help improve airflow and reduce moisture overnight. “It’s not medically necessary for everyone, but it can be beneficial for those with recurring symptoms,” she says.

The bottom line (no pun intended) is that you should feel comfortable. Select a size that doesn’t feel constricting and be sure to shower or change out of your clothes after working out to avoid being exposed to moisture that can upset your bacterial makeup. These simple actions will go a long way in supporting your urinary health.

Think back to 2014. Liane Moriarty released the novel that would become one of the most talked-about books of the decade, Big Little Lies. However, there’s never been a sequel, despite a second season of the HBO series being adapted.

That is, until now! Big Little Truths arrives on Aug. 25, 2026, and it’s unsurprisingly one of the most highly anticipated releases of the month on Goodreads. It sits just behind The Unknown by Riley Sager and The Secrets We Hide by Karin Slaughter.

You will need to read the first book — whether for the first time or again — before you delve into Big Little Truths. This is a true sequel, picking up 10 years after the events of the first novel. The last we met Madeline, Celeste, Jane, Renata, and Bonnie, their children were just five, and now they’re teenagers trying to navigate the hell that is high school.

Gone are the struggles with playdates. Instead, the women need to navigate more complex issues, including dating, alcohol, and everything else teenagers get themselves into. What these women didn’t expect was to have to deal with a severed human finger mystery.

Yes, the parents are in uproar when the high school principal receives a severed human finger in the mail, but these five moms don’t have much time to figure out that particular mystery. They have their own problems to handle, including looking after their mothers-in-law, dealing with marriage problems, and simply trying to enjoy life. They may get pulled into the mystery, though, especially when a seemingly innocent man turns up asking questions.

For many, it will be a relief to see that we’re picking up with the story 10 years later. It’s been 12 years since the first book was released, so we’re growing up with the characters we’ve followed in the past. However, this novel isn’t just told from the viewpoint of the adults. The teenagers also get a little bit of a say, especially as it comes to the high school drama and mystery, adding a new layer to the story.

Big Little Truths already holds a strong score on Goodreads, sitting with a 4.43-star average. Most of the scores are four- and five-star reviews from advance readers, making it clear that this is a novel more than worth jumping straight into when it is published on Aug. 25, 2026.

From 1983 to 1984, Def Leppardwas on top of the world. They recently released their third studio album Pyromania, which had hits like "Rock of Ages" and "Foolin'" and were set to return to the studio for a 1985 disc that would blow listeners away.

"We only put out three singles from Pyromania because we thought, 'Why go further? You’re going to have a new album out in a couple of years,'" co-manager Cliff Burnstein told Billboard. "We probably left a lot on the table with that record."

Still, the band headed into recording in 1984 with Robert John "Mutt" Lange, and things seemed to be headed where they had hoped. However, being exhausted from previously producing The Cars, Lange passed on fully producing the album. Months in with another producer, they fired him because they felt it wasn't going in the correct direction, according to Louder. They were finally making headway with producer Nigel Green, and things seemed to be on track.

The Accident That Changed Everything for Def Leppard

Everything came to a screeching halt on December 31, 1984, when drummer Rick Allen was in a near-fatal car crash that would claim his left arm. Though doctors attempted to reattach it, it ultimately became infected and had to be removed.

"I lost control – I think the roads were a bit slippery, too – and, as the car rolled, the seat belt came undone and took my left arm," Allen told Forbes. "The arm stayed in the car, and I disappeared through the sunroof, banging my head really badly going out, and ended up probably 150 yards away in a field, literally just lying there. What saved my life is that I tensed up so I didn’t bleed out. I wasn’t unconscious. There was an off-duty cop and a nurse, who didn’t know each other at the time, who helped fix me up. About 45 minutes later, an ambulance arrived and took me to the hospital. It wasn’t until then that I actually bled out when they put me under with anesthetic."

The accident, by all accounts, should have killed him. But Allen took it as a sign that he had some sort of purpose to keep fulfilling. After getting an electric drum kit built, Allen relearned how to play using one arm. Lange hopped back on the project and rerecorded the Green-produced tracks, but ended up getting in a car crash mid-production as well.

The band paused the record and then hit the road in 1986, proving Allen could still play. They returned back to the studio and ended up penning some of their most iconic hits for the highly anticipated album. Allen reportedly named it Hysteria to encapsulate the intensity of the car crash and the media fallout that followed them post-accident.

Hysteria, which debuted on August 3, 1987, would go on to be certified 12x platinum by the RIAA and named the No. 25 biggest album ever on the Billboard 200 chart in 2015.

“It’s a flagstone as much as it’s a flagship," singer Joe Elliott once told Louder. "Every album since gets unfavourably compared to it, and it’s unfair. Of course, it’s a defining album in our career, and I’m very proud of it."

The album delivered six top 20-charting smashes, including “Hysteria” (No. 10), “Armageddon It” (No. 3), “Pour Some Sugar On Me” (No. 2), and “Love Bites” (No. 1). The record spent 78 weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart — "the most weeks spent in the top 10 for an album by a rock band in the chart’s 61-year history," according to Billboard.

Influencer Jen Hamilton has a lot on her plate. But according to recent Instagram and TikTok posts, starring on The Bachelorette is not on her to-do list. 

The popular social media star/New York Times bestselling author recently made headlines after her 13-year marriage ended. Not one to hold back, the nursing influencer shared a video on Instagram last week, saying, “I’m done being people’s PR manager. My kids know, everybody in my orbit knows, so I’m just going to give you the nitty-gritty details so it can give you enough information to be like, ‘Okay, I get it’...All you need to know is this person had a double life.” 

Of course, “this person” refers to her soon-to-be ex-husband Brian. The pair announced their split on June 15, and now it looks like everybody wants Jen to become the next Bachelorette. At least, fellow TikTok celeb/nurse Laurisa Huber. 

When Huber recently commented, “@BachelorNation @Jen Hamilton as the next bachelorette,” Hamilton shut down the idea in a completely hilarious way.

The newly single mom of two shared a cute clip on both Instagram and TikTok with the caption, “Huber, why I’ll never be the bachelorette.”

Hamilton starts the video off by saying, “They do not want me, and this is why.”

She continues with a fictitious intro: “Don’t miss the most dramatic season of The Bachelorette ever. Featuring Jen Hamilton, who we did not vet but got lots of comments about.”

Hamilton then puts herself into a series of silly situations, saying things like, “My name is Jen, what do you like to do for fun? Run?...That’s what you can do. That way. Thank you for coming.”

She also poked fun at herself, adding, “A beach day. Uh, I don’t. Did y’all look at, did y’all research me first?”, and then moves on to the iconic rose ceremony: “Back there on that date, when you said that your favorite Taco Bell was a Crunch Wrap Supreme combo with a Doritos Locos Taco, will you accept this rose?”

The faux casting clip keeps going, with Hamilton turning her back to the camera and pointing to her bottom, “I’m built different than the ones, my predecessors. It’s like this, but there’s no drawers that cover it all. You know, so I just don’t want y’all to get in trouble.”

But it doesn’t end there. She adds in a few digs about having more children: “You want kids, that is great. For you. I love that journey for you. This is a picture with my old IUD, which I just got replaced. I would marry Mirena right now.”

And then there’s the infamous “fantasy suite” from the reality dating series. Hamilton addresses that, snarking, “My fantasy is eating chicken tikka masala in a bed while watching shows about really awful murder crime. That sound good?”

Even though Jen doesn’t see herself as the next Bachelorette, it seems like her TikTok fans do. 

“Would be the first and only season I’d watch,” said one commenter. 

Others added, “Now I would actually watch this Bachelorette. Never seen a single season, but I’d be glued to the screen for Jen!” and, “OMGoodness, I’ve never watched even an episode but I’d finally watch for this! I now crave this season if peeps could make it happen. Who’s listening here? Make this happen please!”

Over on Instagram, former The Bachelorand The Bachelorette contestant Katie Thurston commented, “Just say the word, and I’ll give you a direct number.”

In 1978, Kristy McNichol had already captured the hearts of millions across America as the star of the television series Family and films like The End.

But few TV moments were as sweet as the time she completely won over Hollywood’s biggest leading man, Burt Reynolds. She left the actor beaming after delivering a surprise, heart-melting live performance that remains a television time-capsule moment.

McNichol and Reynolds appeared on a 1978 episode of The Mike Douglas Show to promote the feature film, The End. She played Julie Lawson, the teenage daughter of Burt Reynolds' character, Wendell "Sonny" Lawson, in the dark comedy.

In the film, after receiving a terminal diagnosis, Sonny shared goodbyes to his loved ones without explicitly telling them he was sick. A heartfelt scene where he bids farewell to his daughter was one of the film's standout moments.

In the clip, Reynolds called McNichol his "favorite actress." She nodded when Douglas asked if she liked him, later asking, "Doesn't he look like a G.I. Joe? I have tried to convince everyone he does with his beard."

When asked by Douglas if he would like to have a daughter like McNichol, Reynolds said, "I'd love to have a daughter like Kristy. She's so special to everybody."

Reynolds added, "When we were shooting, we had a scene with a lot of young girls Kristy's age and younger. She spent so much time with them, talking with them about Family and spending time together."

Then Reynolds introduced Douglas to a single by McNichol and her brother Jimmy McNichol, a cover of The Chiffons' classic "He's So Fine" backed with the song "He's a Dancer." The duo released a self-titled LP in 1978.

On the daytime talk show, McNichol performed the song specifically for Reynolds. It was the first time she sang it on television.

Kristy and Jimmy McNichol’s recording career was short-lived, yielding just a single self-titled album under RCA Records in 1978. Packed with disco beats and nostalgic covers like "My Boyfriend's Back," the LP solidified their status as late-’70s teen royalty, even though neither sibling pursued a full-time path in the music industry thereafter.

As an actress, McNichol built a standout career with acclaimed films like Little Darlings, The Pirate Movie, and Only When I Laugh, which earned her a Golden Globe nomination. Coupled with her Emmy-winning television roles in Family, Empty Nest, and Summer of My German Soldier, she quickly proved her star power reached far beyond her teen idol roots.

Kristy McNichol remains a fan favorite at events celebrating classic television stars. She is scheduled to appear alongside Leif Garrett for Nite of Dreams’ Family 50th Anniversary Gala.

Tom Brady is nearing the fifth level.

Monday, August 3 marks the Patriots Hall of Famer's 49th birthday, which might be hard to believe for fans who feel like they were just watching him win Super Bowls on TV.

Celebrating your latest lap around the sun on a Monday can be tricky, though the football icon just returned from a family vacation, perhaps to mark his latest milestone.

"A week in Alaska with my three best friends. The trip of a lifetime ❤️," reads the caption of Brady's Instagram post dated July 28. "Truly awe inspiring. So lucky to experience the power of nature in a setting like this Power and grace ❤️🐋."

Fans have since flooded the post's comments section to show their support for the Brady fam. "What an absolute banger of a post!!! Epic proportions, good to see you all L I V I N 💪," wrote one Instagram user, while another person commented, "Love this! Glad you had so much fun!"

Earlier in July, Brady took his three kids to see Spain take on Argentina and win the World Cup in New Jersey. "What a finale to one of the greatest month long sporting events we’ve ever seen. So happy to share it with my favorite crew," reads the caption of his July 20 Instagram post.

It didn’t take long for the comments to star pouring in with many fans pointing out how much his daughter Vivian, 13, looks like her mom, supermodel Gisele Bündchen. “She is just GORGEOUS like her mom,” one Instagram user wrote, while another person commented, "She looks like her Mama."

Brady has yet to go public with another relationship and seems to be enjoying his life as a bachelor. Meanwhile Bündchen, 46, welcomed a baby boy in 2025 with her now-husband, jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente. The two tied the knot weeks before the Christmas holiday last year.

Scott Pelley and Sharyn Alfonsi just landed their first roles after being fired from 60 Minutes.

In their roles, the duo will work closely with students through lectures, workshops, and special events, helping them to "sharpen their reporting, investigative and sourcing skills."

“We're both excited and honored to welcome two journalists of this caliber to our Journalist in Residence Program,” said Jelani Cobb, Dean and Henry R. Luce Professor of Journalism. “Their distinguished track records in investigative reporting highlight the amazing opportunity our students will have to learn from them, and we look forward to having Sharyn and Scott with us this year.”

Why Was Scott Pelley Fired From 60 Minutes?

Pelley was fired from the legendary CBS news magazine after butting heads with the show’s new executive producer, Nick Bilton. The incident went down publicly in a staff meeting, only exacerbating the existing conflict between CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss and the longtime staff of the iconic program. During the meeting, which was captured on audio, Pelley accused Weiss of “murdering” 60 Minutes.

In a letter to Pelley, which was obtained by a variety of news sources, Bilton informed Pelley of his termination.

“Your antipathy to the future of the show has come through loud and clear,” Bilton said in the letter. “And I have heard you. I therefore write on behalf of CBS News to inform you that your employment with CBS is terminated effective immediately.”

In a separate note to 60 Minutes employees, Bilton made it clear that the network and Pelley had “parted ways.”

“I know how much Scott meant to many of you, and I don’t say this lightly,” Bilton wrote in the letter, NBC News shared. “I made repeated attempts to have direct conversations with him over the weekend, and this afternoon I tried to find common ground. That was not the path Scott chose.”

Who Else Has Left 60 Minutes?

CBS News previously announced it was ousting former executive producer Tanya Simon, executive editor Draggan Mihailovich, Alfonsi, and Cecilia Vega, Variety reported.

Anderson Cooper, who has contributed to the show for nearly 20 years, announced he would be leaving the program in February, Parade previously shared.

“The thing is, it’s never felt like work. It’s felt like you’re stepping into people’s lives, and you’re invited into people's homes,” Cooper reflected. “You’re invited into their struggles, you’re invited into whatever it is that has brought them to be on 60 Minutes.”

For many fans of competitive figure skating, the 1990s are considered a golden age of the sport, thanks in part to the Stars on Ice tour. More than a touring skating show, Stars on Icewas a celebration of figure skating's greatest personalities at the height of the sport's popularity. Fans packed arenas to watch the athletes who had become household names during the Olympics perform with a freedom and creativity that competition rarely allowed.

Among the show's most unforgettable moments is "Five Minutes of Footwork," a routine featuring Scott Hamilton, Kurt Browning, and Paul Wylie. Rather than relying on jumps or dramatic spins, the performance made ice skating sound like music, showcasing the intricate footwork that defined the era.

One of Scott Hamilton's Favorite Performances @scotthamiltonofficial

Footwork has always been one of my favorite parts of figure skating. It’s where timing, edges, and personality come together. This performance with Paul Wylie and Kurt Browning was one I’ll always enjoy.

♬ original sound - Scott Hamilton

Hamilton himself calls the routine "one I'll always enjoy" and has shared on social media that footwork has always been one of his "favorite" parts of figure skating. Judging by the fan reaction, he's not alone.

"Gorgeous footwork," gushed one fan.

"That was back when figure skating was at its best," added another.

One lamented, "I miss this era."

The Performance That Captured Figure Skating's Golden Age

Stars on Ice not only gave fans the opportunity to see figure skating's biggest stars share the ice, but it also gave the athletes the creative freedom to perform with the personality and artistry that made the tour so popular, giving them almost rock star status.

Together, Hamilton, Browning, and Wylie represented three distinct styles that helped define one of figure skating's most beloved eras. Their chemistry transformed technical skating into pure entertainment, demonstrating that the simplest elements, when performed by masters of the craft, could be just as captivating as the sport's biggest jumps.

"Five Minutes of Footwork" didn't just showcase exceptional skating—it showcased the sound of champions at work.

Why Fans Still Love "Five Minutes of Footwork" @scotthamiltonofficial

Back to the 1993 Pro-Am Figure Skating Challenge. The older I get, the more grateful I am for moments like these and for everyone who made them possible.

"Gorgeous footwork. Bravo!! What a treat to watch this. To just listen to this," one commenter noted.

Others shared that the routine made the skaters sound like they were tap dancing.

The performance remains one of the finest examples of why the 1990s are often remembered as figure skating's golden age. Individually, each skater left an indelible mark on the sport. Together, they created something equally memorable. "Five Minutes of Footwork" remains a masterclass in timing, rhythm, and edge quality, proving that some of figure skating's most unforgettable performances don't require quadruple jumps or Olympic medals to leave a lasting impression.

Decades later, the routine continues to be rediscovered by longtime fans and new audiences alike, serving as a reminder of an era when personality, musicality, and the sheer joy of skating were just as important as gravity-defying jumps.

If you've ever stepped off a cruise ship in Nassau, you know the instant pull of the island: the vibrant turquoise waters, the warm sea breeze, and the lively energy of the port. But while thousands of vacationers pass through the capital every week on their way to famous beaches or Disney’s private island escapes like Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, Disney Cruise Line has been quietly working behind the scenes to make a lasting impact on the local communities that welcome those ships year-round.

The cruise line’s latest milestone hits right in the heart of Nassau. Partnering with NBA star Buddy Hield, The Buddy Hield Foundation, and ESPN’s Take Back Sports, Disney Cruise Line officially unveiled a newly transformed courtyard and sports complex at Woodcock Primary School.

The upgrade—complete with a repaved basketball court, brand-new rims, and a striking mural by Bahamian artist Angelika Wallace-Whitfield—marks the latest expansion of The Play Project. Launched in 2024, the initiative has already brought over 60,000 hours of play to more than 800 children across nine schools in Eleuthera and Nassau, with plans to expand into Abaco next.

For everyday cruisers, it is easy to view cruise lines purely through the lens of onboard slides, dining rooms, and tropical port days. But for the people who call The Bahamas home, long-term partnerships with major travel brands can reshape neighborhood spaces for generations.

"The purpose of this project is to give kids a more welcoming place to play, and this courtyard at Woodcock Primary School is built for exactly that," says Rena Langley, Senior Vice President of Communications and Public Affairs for Disney Signature Experiences. "The Play Project helps create opportunities for children to connect, build confidence, and simply enjoy being kids. Disney Cruise Line is proud to celebrate this milestone with the Nassau community and our partners across The Bahamas."

Local leaders emphasize that having safe, well-equipped spaces for sports does far more than just fill recess time—it gives young students a constructive outlet to grow and learn teamwork.

"Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive in an environment that nurtures their full potential," says Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education, Science and Technology Chester Cooper. "The expansion of The Play Project from Eleuthera to Nassau demonstrates the power of meaningful partnerships. We are grateful to Disney Cruise Line for investing in spaces that promote healthy development, teamwork, and lifelong learning for Bahamian children."

The unveiling was not just a ribbon-cutting ceremony—it was an active sports day for the students. Bahamian native and NBA player Buddy Hield joined representatives from Disney, ESPN, and non-profits love.fútbol and Good Sports to host a hands-on basketball skills camp right on the new court.

For Hield, bringing world-class athletic facilities directly to local elementary students hits close to home.

"Growing up in The Bahamas, I know firsthand how a positive place to play can change a kid's life. Hosting today's basketball skills camp is all about passing that gift forward," says Hield. "The Buddy Hield Foundation is thrilled to team up with Disney Cruise Line and our collaborators on The Play Project here in Nassau, bringing world-class athletic experiences directly to these kids, showing them that their dreams matter and their community is fully behind them."

School leadership echoes that sentiment, noting that the physical changes to the campus bring a renewed sense of pride to the entire student body.

"This space goes far beyond a fresh coat of paint," says Candice Culmer, Vice Principal of Woodcock Primary School. "Disney Cruise Line and the nonprofit organizations have created a joyful environment and provided quality equipment necessary for students to learn, play, and thrive by bringing the community together and providing opportunities for the development of youth through The Play Project."

What Else Disney Is Doing in The Bahamas Behind the Scenes

While passenger visits to private island stops like Castaway Cay generate major tourism revenue, Disney’s local footprint extends into several lesser-known community programs across the islands:

• Maritime Careers & Education: Disney funds scholarships at the LJM Maritime Academy and brings students aboard its ships to explore maritime careers. Through Junior Achievement Bahamas, the company also sponsors job-shadowing in hospitality and operations.
• Cultivating Local Agriculture: In partnership with the Agricultural Development Organization, Disney helps build community and school gardens—including at Ranfurly Homes for Children in Nassau—providing hands-on learning and fresh local produce.
• Recycling Onboard Resources: Every week, Disney Cruise Line offloads and recycles roughly 7,000 pounds of used cooking oil in Nassau, converting it into biofuel to run Bahamas Waste Management vehicles.
• Fighting Food Insecurity: Through annual $50,000 contributions and active employee volunteer hours, Disney VoluntEARS work alongside the Bahamas Feeding Network to pack and distribute essential meal kits to local families.

So the next time you step onto the gangway in Nassau or set sail for a day at Lookout Cay, you can know that the magic extends well beyond the ship's upper decks—helping build brighter, safer spaces for the kids who live there long after the ship pulls out of port.

Dolly Parton's written more than 3,000 songs. She says "Coat of Many Colors" is her favorite of all of them. The 1971 song was written in minutes on the back of a dry-cleaning receipt for one of Porter Wagoner's rhinestone stage suits while she was riding his tour bus. It went to No. 4 on the Billboard Country chart. It's now in the Grammy Hall of Fame and the Library of Congress. Whenever she sings it, she says she sees her whole childhood.

In 1969, Dolly was riding Porter Wagoner's tour bus. Wagoner was famous across Nashville for his rhinestone-clad Nudie suits, handcrafted by designer Nudie Cohn, who also designed rhinestone costumes for Elvis Presley and Hank Williams.A song came to her, and she needed paper. The only paper available was a dry-cleaning receipt from one of his designer suits. She grabbed it and started writing.

@keepitcountryyall

Dolly Parton - Coat of Many Colors First ever Performance! #keepitcountryyall @Dolly Parton 🫡👏👏 #dollyparton #country #music #fyp

♬ original sound - Keeping it Country Y’all - Keeping it Country Y’all

The receipt from the most expensive suit in country music became the paper that held country music's most beloved song about poverty. The irony writes itself. Wagoner loved what she'd written so much he had the receipt framed. It now hangs in Dolly's Chasing Rainbows Museum at Dollywood alongside a duplicate of the coat her mother made and the original handwritten lyrics.

The song's a story song, which is Dolly's own description of her favorite way to write. What it tells on the surface is this. One winter Dolly needed a coat. Her mother was given a box of rags and sewed them into a patchwork coat, telling Dolly the Bible story of Joseph as she worked.

Dolly ran to school proud of what her mother had made. What happened next she couldn't talk about for years. The other children pulled at the coat until the buttons fell off, locking her screaming in a dark coat closet. She still sleeps with a light on because of it. "That memory had been painful to me," she said, "but I didn't realize it until I wrote the story." People wrote to her saying it had healing properties. "It was a story of acceptance and hope."

The photograph on the album cover was taken the same day. It was picture day at school. When the photographer took her picture, she was crying. She smiled anyway because she wanted her picture made so badly. She was still wearing the coat.

Dolly started writing songs at five. Her father recalled she was writing them before she knew how to hold a pencil. More than 3,000 have followed. She writes them to keep memories alive. "Love and my family and writing about those days keeps me sane in an insane world." Carl Dean, her husband of nearly 60 years, died in March 2025. The woman who writes songs to keep memories alive has new reasons to sing this one.

The Song That Healed What She Couldn't Say Out Loud

"Coat of Many Colors" is in the Grammy Hall of Fame and the Library of Congress. Dolly published the lyrics as a children's book in 1996. The NBC TV movie in December 2015 drew nearly 16 million viewers. Shania Twain, Emmylou Harris and Eva Cassidy have all recorded their own versions. In April 2026, she launched the Kendra Scott x Dolly Parton Coat of Many Colors jewelry collection.

And buried in the gatefold of her 1975 Best of Dolly Parton album is a final verse she never recorded:

But nothing is as precious as my mama's memory, and my coat of many colors that mama made for me.

The most personal line she ever wrote is the one nobody has heard.

Dolly Parton needed a coat one winter. Her mother sewed one from rags and told her she was rich. Her classmates told her otherwise. She couldn't talk about what happened for years. Then she wrote a song about it on a dry cleaning receipt on a rhinestone cowboy's tour bus. Porter Wagoner had the receipt framed. Dolly calls it her favorite of 3,000.

Some things you write to remember. Some things you write to heal. This one did both.

Charlize Theron's sheer plastic skirt is getting the public riled up.

Theron, 50, rose to stardom in films like The Devil's Advocate and The Cider House Rules, but it was her role as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in 2003's Monster that scored her an Academy Award. These days, Theron's still one of Hollywood's most in-demand stars, and her role as sea nymph Calypso in Christopher Nolan's epic blockbuster The Odyssey alongside Matt Damon shows she's still got it.

At a recent press conference event to promote The Odyssey in Seoul, South Korea, the blonde beauty caused a stir with her outfit choice by wearing a sheer plastic skirt. Theron wore a Tom Ford PVC (that stands for polyvinyl chloride, by the way) wrap skirt over a striped shirt, lace shorts, and polka-dot tights, fashion sleuths have identified. The audience didn't exactly know what to think of the fashion risk, but we're into it!

What Was It Like Filming The Odyssey?

For her role as sea nymph Calypso, Theron had to spend endless days on the beach in Morocco with Matt Damon. Sounds ideal, right? Not so much. It turns out that winds were whipping sand into Theron's eyes all day long.

“She had to do these scenes that were already challenging with a 30- to 40-mile-an-hour wind ripping sand into her eyes,” Damon told Elle. “She’s just a boss, though. The grips were trying to hold screens over, anything that we could do so that we could shoot. But even with all that stuff, she was in massive discomfort, and you wouldn’t know it from seeing the movie. I’ve known her for so long, and she is one of those people who won’t complain, ever. And so, when she finally had to say, ‘I literally—I’m so sorry, I can’t keep my eyes open,’ she was angry. I think that was probably tougher on her than anything. And I’m like, ‘Charlize, no human being could keep their eyes open; this is ridiculous. Why didn’t you say something earlier?’ That’s her. She is seriously tough.”

According to a webpage for the paid streaming service Philo, the series can be viewed on the platform this month. Additionally, the series is available to watch on the cable channel Catchy Comedy.

For years, major subscription services have bypassed the beloved '60s sitcom. Its August 15 rollout on Tubi opens up the full catalog on demand, letting fans relive every iconic episode completely for free.

The Monkees debuted on NBC in September 1966. The series aired on Monday nights at 7:30 p.m. EST, preceding I Dream of Jeannie and opposite The Iron Horse (ABC) and Gilligan’s Island (CBS).

The Monkees told the story of a struggling four-piece rock band in Los Angeles, constantly chasing their big break while getting swept up in surreal, comedy-filled adventures. Between dodging absurd villains, falling for local crushes, and trying to make rent, the group always found time to perform a catchy musical number.

After 57 episodes and two seasons, the series ended with its final installment on March 25, 1968, titled “The Frodis Caper.” CBS picked up reruns of the musical comedy in the fall of 1969, keeping it on its weekend lineup through September 1972. The series then made a short jump to ABC through the summer of 1973 before eventually being sold into local syndication in 1975.

In a 2022 interview with Variety, Dolenz admitted that The Monkees nearly didn't make it on television. "The pilot nearly flopped," he explained. "Then Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider reworked it."

"Bob pushed us to be ourselves," the singer and musician continued. "They didn't want actors playing roles. They sought four unique personalities with energy and charisma."

With their signature blend of madcap humor, The Monkees turned a television comedy into a cultural phenomenon. Decades after those original syndication runs introduced new generations to their music, The Monkees continues to hold a special place in TV history, and its arrival on Tubi means fans old and new can jump back into the chaos anytime they want.

Booking a vacation today is about so much more than just getting from Point A to Point B. Whether it's securing priority boarding, landing a complimentary room upgrade, or snagging a seat with extra legroom, the right travel rewards program can completely transform your trip. And because today’s top loyalty programs are tied directly to everyday credit card spending—turning routine grocery runs and morning coffee stops into free flights and hotel stays—choosing the right program has never paid off more.

To help travelers cut through the noise, U.S. News & World Reporthas released its 14th annual Best Travel Rewards Programs rankings for 2026-2027. Evaluating programs on attributes that everyday travelers value most—including network size, ease of earning and redeeming points, and member perks—the new rankings reveal major shake-ups alongside fresh tools for frequent flyers.

American Airlines Claims Top Airline Honors

For the first time in the ranking's history, American Airlines AAdvantage captured the #1 spot as the Best Airline Rewards Program. American ended an 11-year winning streak previously held by Alaska Airlines' loyalty program, now known as Atmos Rewards. AAdvantage surged to the top thanks to American’s expansive domestic network, access to global Oneworld alliance partners, and a robust earning ecosystem spanning flights, co-branded credit cards, dining programs, and everyday shopping portals.

Atmos Rewards held strong in the #2 spot, remaining a favorite for award-travel enthusiasts due to its high-value partner redemptions. United MileagePlus claimed third place, while JetBlue TrueBlue placed fourth—notable for its family pooling features and straightforward redemption structure—and Delta SkyMiles rounded out the top five.

Wyndham Rewards Takes the Hotel Crown

On the hotel side, Wyndham Rewards climbed back to #1 as the Best Hotel Rewards Program. Wyndham earned top marks for its exceptional redemption value and massive global footprint, proving that approachable, easy-to-earn free nights at value and midscale properties often outweigh the high redemption thresholds of pure luxury brands.

Marriott Bonvoy made a major leap to secure second place, propelled by its vast portfolio of global properties and generous co-branded credit card perks. World of Hyatt retained third place, celebrated for its elite benefits and high point values despite a smaller overall network. Choice Privileges and Sonesta Travel Pass finished fourth and fifth, rounding out a top tier that heavily favors accessible redemptions and widespread hotel coverage.

New Business Traveler Rankings Debut

Recognizing that corporate road warriors have distinct priorities—such as flight frequency, schedule reliability, elite status perks, and hotel availability near business hubs—U.S. News introduced two brand-new categories this year specifically tailored for business travel.

In the inaugural Best U.S. Airlines for Business Travelers ranking, United Airlines took the top spot, recognized for its extensive route network, premium lounge access, and dependable flight availability. Delta Air Lines followed closely in second place, praised for its operational reliability and onboard amenities, while American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, and Southwest Airlines filled out the top five.

For hotel stays, Marriott International was named the Best Hotel Brand for Business Travelers. Marriott’s vast global network, versatile portfolio of business-focused brands, and seamless corporate booking integration earned it first place. Hilton Worldwide came in second, followed by IHG Hotels & Resorts in third, Hyatt Hotels in fourth, and Choice Hotels in fifth.

Making the Best Choice for Your Wallet

While these rankings offer a helpful roadmap, the best travel rewards program ultimately depends on where you live and how you spend. Aligning your credit card spending and brand loyalty with the airlines that fly out of your local airport—and the hotel chains located where you actually travel—is the fastest way to turn everyday expenses into your next dream vacation.

After three years, the pitch is finally back open! After an Emmy-winning three-season run, Ted Lasso is returning for a new batch of episodes on Apple TV. To say it was quite a surprising decision would be an understatement, considering how the Season 3 ending was written with a series finale in mind, bringing the stories of Ted (Jason Sudeikis), Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) and the rest of the AFC Richmond players and staff to a satisfying resolution. Regardless, we "believe" its return will still come with its usual charm, telling a hysterical yet heartwarming tale of a fledgling soccer team.

Before Ted Lasso Season 4 kicks off on Wednesday, Aug. 5, here's everything you need to remember about where things left off, including the fate of AFC Richmond, who winds up together, and everything in between.

Ted Lasso Season 3 recap: What to rememberThe fate of AFC Richmond The cast of 'Ted Lasso'

Being welcomed back into the Premier League, it was an up-and-down season for our favorite footballers. But, going into the finale, the Greyhounds had worked their way into contention for the championship, provided they defeat their rival West Ham. In the most high-stakes game of the season, the first half gets off to a bad start, as Richmond is trailing 2-0 by halftime. Normally, this would be the perfect time for Ted to step up and give a rousing speech, giving his team the vital mindset they need to come from behind. But it's time for the student to become the master.

Earlier in the season, Ted had angrily ripped up his iconic "Believe" sign after star player Zava (Maximilian Osinski) announced he would be retiring. In the moment, he used it as an affirmation that belief was more than just paper and tape, and the true investments they have in each other cannot be ripped apart. Regardless, in this moment, the team reveals they all had been holding on to pieces of the sign since it was first torn up. And so, bit by bit, the biggest imagery from the show stood strong once more, cracked, but resolue.

It turns out that was what Richmond needed to get their butts in gear. Jamie (Phil Dunster) easily gets the first goal for the team, while Isaac (Kola Bokinni) stuns everyone by scoring his first-ever penalty kick. Rupert (Anthony Head), Rebecca's ex-husband and series antagonist, gets his just desserts on the pitch. The West Ham owner assaults the manager for not purposely injuring Jamie, leading him to get removed from the game to jeers and "wanker" calls abound. In the eleventh hour, the Greyhounds run a trick play courtesy of Nate (Nick Mohammad), who had been welcomed back to the team after briefly defecting to West Ham. And the assistant kit manager comes through for his current former team, as Richmond scores and takes home the win.

Sadly, the team does not win the Premier League championship, as Manchester City had also won their match. Still, the pundits and fans laud Richmond and Ted for their skill and attitude. After all, over only three seasons, he helped take the laughing stock of the league into a championship contender.

As Richmond's success has grown, so has Rebecca's profile. As Higgins (Jeremy Swift) informs her in the finale, the club value is at an all-time high, and he suggests that she take advantage of the opportunity to sell 49% of her shares, leaving her with majority ownership. Rebecca, however, is considering an even bigger extreme: Selling the team. After acquiring Richmond from Rupert in the beginning of the series, she feels she no longer has anything to prove. And it doesn't necessarily help that Ted and Beard (Brendan Hunt) have announced that they're heading back to the States after the season.

By the end of the episode, however, her tune has very much changed. Emboldened by the season's end, she's decided to take Higgins' advice, selling 49% of the shares to the fans. At long last, the eccentric peanut gallery that Ted has been privy to for the entirety of his time overseas will get a say in the team. Considering the new approach Rebecca and company are taking to Richmond in Season 4, however, it will be interesting to see how the shareholders are still involved.

While there are plenty of Ted and Rebecca shippers out there, the true romance of Ted Lasso lies with Roy (Brett Goldstein) and Keeley (Juno Temple). The two are the true definition of opposites attract, but the irascible player and bubbly model somehow seem perfect for each other. After dancing around one another in Season 1, the two made things official in Season 2, though it didn't come without its struggles.

Those struggles manifested in a shocking reveal in the Season 3 premiere: Roy and Keeley had broken up. Both of them had growing responsibilities — him coaching Richmond and her running her own PR firm — and realized they couldn't find the time to invest in their relationship. The two spend the season on their separate paths, with Keeley even briefly pursuing a thing with Jack (Jodi Balfour). And those paths happen to merge once more in Episode 10, when Roy apologizes to her for ending their relationship, and they wind up sleeping together.

When the finale hits, clearly the dalliance has ignited something in the former footballer. He begins to grow paranoid that Jamie is trying to rekindle something between them, confronting his frenemy. The two begin to then fight, taking the disagreement to Keeley herself. Asked to choose between them, she opts for "none of the above," berating them for their sexism before kicking them out. It's a surprisingly sour note to end the Roy/Keeley dynamic on, one of the only points that lacked resolution in the Season 3 finale. It's safe to say, given both Goldstein and Temple are returning in full for Season 4, there's plenty more "will they/won't they" coming our way.

While Ted Lasso is primarily about the journey of a sports team, it also speaks to the odyssey of its titular coach. Seasons 2 and 3 in particular really broke down the overly cheerful manager, as we explored the family drama that made the mustachioed man who he is today. And Ted was truly going through it in the most recent batch of episodes, as his ex-wife Michelle (Andrea Anders) got engaged. And a visit from his mother brings news that his son, Henry, misses him. With all of this compounding, Ted drops a big bomb on Rebecca in the finale: He and Beard are going home.

In the end, that winds up being only a half-truth. While the announcement comes with an incredibly emotional video montage (and a heartfelt rendition of "So Long, Farewell" from The Sound of Music), Beard tells Ted on the plane that he wants to remain in England to be with Jane (Phoebe Walsh). And so Ted chooses to let his number one guy chase after his heart, as he fakes an appendicitis attack to get off the plane.

As Ted makes his way back stateside, we're treated to a montage of what happens (or may have happened) to all of the main cast following Richmond's last game of the season:

• Leaving the airport after saying goodbye to Ted, Rebecca happens to run into the Dutchman (Matteo van der Grijn), whom she had a one-night stand with in Amsterdam after being rescued from a canal. Having spent all of Season 3 heeding the warnings of her mother's psychic, the final part of her prophecy comes to pass. The two become a happy couple, as she seemingly becomes a form of a stepmother to the Dutchman's daughter.
• Trent Crimm (James Lance) publishes his book about the team. As suggested by Ted, the writer formerly of The Independent changes the title from The Lasso Way to The Richmond Way.
• Roy is made the new manager of Richmond, as he, Beard, and Nate comprise the coaching staff. Making up for his previous transgressions, Nate glues together the "Believe" sign, making it a mainstay of the locker room once more. And, following in the footsteps of his predecessor, Roy starts having sessions with Sharon (Sarah Niles), Richmond's new Head of Mental Health.
• Rupert is removed as the owner of West Ham, becoming a pariah in the media. Sadly, this is where the character's journey will come to an end, following the death of Anthony Head in June 2026.
• Having served as the hero to give Richmond its final goal of the season, Sam is picked to play on the Nigerian national football team.
• Following a tense game against his old team Manchester City, Jamie is able to reconcile with his abusive father, with the two of them bonding over family photos.
• Beard marries a pregnant Jane in a fantastical pagan ceremony at Stonehenge. All of Richmond, along with their respective partners, are in attendance.
• Most pertinently for what's to come, Keeley comes to Rebecca with a pitch: An AFC Richmond women's team. The two gal pals excitedly scream at the prospect. And we will see the fruits of their labors in Season 4!
• Ted settles down back at home in Kansas, having returned specifically to be there for his son. In the last scene of the season, we see he's coaching Henry's soccer team, where he ends up missing out on a goal. Showing the lessons he learned across the pond, Ted reminds his son to "be a goldfish," sends him back on the field, and smiles contentedly. At least until he'll be called back into action in the episodes to come.

How did Anne Hathaway become famous?

Considering the fact that Anne Hathaway gets her name from William Shakespeare’s wife, it should be no surprise that her mother is a former actress. Hathaway began performing as a child in school and local productions, and continued taking the stage well into her teenage years, at which point she even sang at Carnegie Hall as part of a high school chorus group.

It was a few days after this Carnegie Hall performance that Hathaway got her first acting break when she was cast in the short-lived Fox TV show Get Real, which ran for one season from 1999 to 2000, alongside fellow rising star Jesse Eisenberg. However, her big break and the role that would make her famous came when she was cast as the lead in the 2001 hit teen movie adaptation of the best-selling book The Princess Diaries, alongside Julie Andrews. She reprised the role in 2004’s The Princess Diaries 2: A Royal Engagement.

She successfully made the transition to adult actress with a supporting role in 2005’s Brokeback Mountain,but it was her role in 2006’s The Devil Wears Prada that really solidified her place as a leading lady. Her 2008 Oscar nomination for Best Actress for the movie Rachel Getting Married proved Hathaway was a force to be reckoned with, and she has been an acclaimed, in-demand actress ever since. She even won her first Oscar in 2013 for Best Supporting Actress in Les Misérables.
