If you're a loyal cruiser with Norwegian Cruise Line, you likely know that one of the biggest perks of the "Latitudes Rewards" program is the ability to carry your hard-earned status over to NCL’s sister brands, Oceania and Regent Seven Seas.

It’s the ultimate "travel hack" for the cruiser who wants to transition from a fun, family-friendly atmosphere to a high-end, ultra-luxury experience without starting back at the bottom of the ladder. However, as of March 16, the rules for that cross-brand "handshake" have officially shifted.

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings just pulled the curtain back on a significant revamp of its reciprocal loyalty structure, and the biggest impact is being felt by those at the very top.

While your onboard perks within NCL itself aren’t changing, the way your status translates when you "cross-brand" is being compressed. For those who have reached the prestigious Ambassador tier—the highest level in the Latitudes program—you may find that your "VIP" welcome on a ship like the Oceania Riviera or Regent Seven Seas Explorer looks a little different than it did last year.

Under the new alignment, NCL’s Ambassadors are now being capped at the Diamond tier when sailing with Oceania, rather than the previous "President’s Circle" recognition. Similarly, when stepping onto a Regent Seven Seas vessel, that same Ambassador status now translates to Titanium instead of the "Commodore" level.

The company's framing this as a move to better align the vastly different experiences across its three brands, essentially ensuring that the "top tier" of a luxury line like Regent remains as exclusive as possible.

What does this mean for you? If you’ve been eyeing a "milestone" Mediterranean cruise on Oceania or a bucket-list trip on Regent to celebrate your NCL loyalty, it’s time to log in to your account and see where you land. While the "Ambassador" title still carries immense weight, the narrowing of these upper tiers means you should manage your expectations for those cross-brand perks.

The good news is that the core NCL experience remains untouched—your Bronze-to-Ambassador journey stays exactly as you've built it—but when it comes to jumping between sister lines, the "Gold Standard" just got a little more exclusive.

Lewis Hamilton has spent the last decade proving that the fastest way to a fashion editor's heart is a perfectly outfitted paddock arrival. While the rest of the sporting world is just catching on to the fashion with a capital ‘F’ pre-game phenomenon, the seven-time F1 champ has turned the pit lane into his personal runway. According to a fresh February 2026 report, Hamilton is officially the most prominent fashion icon in sports, with over 1.01 million fans hunting down his outfit details this year.

The new study, released by Foresight Sports, analyzed the Google search interest of 100 high-profile athletes to see who actually moves the needle in the wardrobe department. The verdict? Even with the global Swiftie spotlight firmly on the NFL, the racing world is still setting the pace. Hamilton’s move to Scuderia Ferrari might be the biggest sporting story of the decade, but his sartorial choices are generating just as much heat as his engine. Between a viral Lululemon collaboration and a silver-glittered F1 helmet currently haunting mood boards on social media, Hamilton has become a style icon. He treats every race arrival with the same precision as a qualifying lap, and the data shows fans are collectively obsessed with the result.

While Hamilton sits comfortably at the top of the mountain with his million-plus searches, the numbers tell a surprising story about where our attention is shifting. He’s closely trailed by Serena Williams, who remains the queen of the court and the carpet. The tennis legend secured the second-place spot, with over 820,000 people checking out her fashion this year. Williams’ cobalt blue Nike crop jacket and mini tennis skirt from the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show are still pulling massive numbers, proving that even in retirement, she can out-search active superstars.

Travis Kelce, despite being the face of the current NFL tunnel walk revolution, landed in third place with 616,500 yearly searches. It’s a strong showing for the Chiefs' star, but it proves that even a high-profile romance and a Gucci bucket hat can't quite topple the established fashion royalty of F1 and tennis. However, he earns points for authenticity; Kelce is one of the few at the top of the list who reportedly curates his own 70s-inspired vibe without a personal stylist on his payroll. That burnt orange Amiri suit was a personal choice, not a corporate one.

Further down the list, the Style Circuit goes global. Soccer’s Jules Koundé represents the new guard in fourth place with 316,800 searches, followed by Conor McGregor, who holds the fifth spot with 243,900 fans tracking his luxury rotations as he preps for his UFC return.

As a spokesperson from Foresight Sports noted in a statement: “Athletes have become dual-content creators: their athletic performance drives one audience, while their fashion choices engage an entirely different demographic. Serena Williams' and Travis Kelce's popularity in the world of stylists and models shows that sports and fashion content now coexist.”

Cruising can be a great way to enjoy a vacation where minimal planning is needed. When you book a cruise, you are able to travel to multiple destinations without lifting a finger, most of the food is paid for, entertainment is abundant each night, and your stateroom gets cleaned once a day. What more could you ask for? However, for a lot of newer cruisers, people tend to make a lot of mistakes that can be easily avoided.

I worked as a performer on cruise ships for over five years–and not just on one cruise line. I’ve seen the ins and outs of Norwegian Cruise Line, Carnival Cruise Line and even the luxury, all-inclusive side of Regent Seven Seas. Through my own trial and error as well as seeing guests make the same mistakes, I’m truly a pro when it comes to getting the most out of your cruise for the least amount of money.

These days, I’m retired from performing on ships, and instead I go on cruises multiple times a year for leisure. A recent Points Guy article came out that explains ways that cruisers waste money, and there are three particular things in this article that I couldn’t agree more with. I’m going to lead you through them, and tell you what to do instead.

Booking Too Many Shore Excursions

Once you book your cruise, you’ll then start to look at each day’s port of call. Usually on the cruise line’s app or website, you’ll see all of the options for shore excursions that you can book through your cruise line. Many of these excursions will seem incredibly enticing, and with the ease of booking directly with the cruise line, you’ll most likely feel the urge to book one for every single port of call. I’m here to tell you that for a lot of ports, that truly isn’t necessary.

Take a look at the ports you are visiting. If you are in an extremely walkable port–like Valetta, Malta or Key West, Florida–you can experience much of the port completely on your own. By doing this, you’ll save hundreds of dollars. Many of the shore excursions simply have a guide that brings you around the city, but the downside is that you have to wait for the other guests that also booked the excursion in each location, you can’t really explore at your own leisure, and you’ll be on a strict time schedule.

The ports that I do recommend booking a shore excursion for are ones where the main action is far away from the actual port. Examples of this are ports like Piraeus, Greece (Athens) or Livorno, Italy (Florence). There are usually shore excursions that will bring you into the city center, and that takes the pressure off the guests to figure out how to navigate the port on their own. In that specific instance, I recommend a shore excursion.

Not Keeping Your Phone On Airplane Mode

Another big mistake I see first time cruisers make is not keeping their phone on airplane mode. Especially if your cruise is staying in the United States, many people think it’s totally ok to leave their phone on cellular service as they normally would. I made this mistake myself the very first time I got onboard a cruise ship as a crew member. We were cruising from Long Beach, California to Catalina Island, California. I thought that I was in the clear to keep my phone on, and instead, I ended up getting charged hundreds of dollars for browsing the web on “cellular at sea”.

Don’t make the same mistake I did, and be sure to put your phone on airplane mode. You can purchase WiFi on the ship, but there are also some eSIM options to check out as well.

Not Getting A Drink Package View this post on Instagram

Now that I cruise as a guest on cruise ships quite often, I’ve found that buying a drink package is almost always worth it. Let’s take Norwegian Cruise Line for example. While the price of the drink package does vary per ship and itinerary, I have personally been able to book cruises with a very affordable drink package. Last year, I went on a 10-day Mediterranean cruise where I received an unlimited open bar for $27 a day. Ultimately, this meant that if I drank more than three alcoholic drinks per day while on the cruise, the drink package would be worth it.

If you end up not getting the drink package, you would pay per drink. On most cruise lines, beers cost between $6 to $10, wine can be between $9 and $15, and most cocktails are $14 or more. Over the course of your cruise, these prices add up. Especially if you consider the fact that you’ll most likely be visiting the dining room each night, and if you’re the type to have multiple drinks with dinner, that can put a dent in your bill. Don’t forget about when you’re laying out by the pool, and a nice cold beer or strawberry daiquiri will be extra appealing. Ultimately, if you enjoy drinking on vacation, the drink package is almost always worth it.

In 1976, England Dan and John Ford Coley had a hit song with “I’d Really Love to See You Tonight.” The soft rock classic, from the duo’s fourth album Nights Are Forever,  peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1976 and remained there for two weeks.

In February 2026, Billboard named “I’d Really Love to See You Tonight" one of the top 50 love songs of all time. But amazingly, the musical duo, formed in 1970,  originally had no love for the tune.

In an interview with Classic Bands, Coley noted that he and pal “England” Dan Seals usually wrote their own music, but after they were dropped by their record label, producers presented them with the song about a no-strings-attached romance.

“That was a big thing for us, we had always written our own songs,” he shared. “So, when they brought us ‘Really Love To See You Tonight,’ which was written by Parker McGee, we didn't really like that very much.“

The duo didn’t want to record the song

In a separate interview, Coley noted that he and his musical partner pushed back on recording “I’d Really Love to See You Tonight” because they didn’t think it was their style.

“When they brought us 'I'd Really Love to See You Tonight,' we didn’t want to do that song. We only wanted to do the songs that we had written, and that we were close to," Coley admitted to Rock Show Critique in 2018.

"The unfortunate thing is that I think of all the songs that we had written, so far they had generated about $1.90 worth of sales, so when they brought it to us, we thought, 'Man, that's a woman's song. We don't really want to do it that way,'" the singer explained. "They said, 'No, try it. Try it. Just do it, and we can discuss all of that later.' So we did, and son of a gun, it took off the way that it did.”

Coley noted that it was a wakeup call to find that “there were other people that could actually write things that were going to get presented on the radio.”

The song took England Dan and John Ford Coley to the next level

In a 2026 interview with Dakota’s Music World, Coley, now 77, further explained that after recording three albums, he and Seals considered themselves to be “singer-songwriters” and didn’t want to compromise. “When we ended up getting 'I'd really love tosee You Tonight,’ neither one of us wanted to do it. We both said, 'No, that’s kind of a female song. I don't really want to do that.' And so then they talked us into it. So we did it. It takes off.  Fires up the charts, and I see the first royalty check. And at that point, I realized just how mercenary I could be.”

"I found myself calling Parker McGee, who wrote the song, and going, ‘Parker. Hey buddy. You know, what else you got?‘” he admitted. “It was just like wait a minute. I want to be a singer-songwriter, that's what I want to be known for. However, there's this thing called rent and groceries, and you know, I want I'd like a car that runs, and you just kind of go, ‘All right, I think there's something else.'"

"There's a lot of great songs and if you pass them up, yeah, okay, your ego, solved,” Coley added. “But that's not a good business decision. … You can play in bars all your whole life if you want to, or you can take the next level up. And we just took the next level up.”

Did you know that your birth date means something? Numerologists agree that all birth dates resonate with the numerological energies of one to three numbers. If you were born on the 26th, then you embody the combined energies of 2, 6, and 8. According to numerology, your birth date makes you a relationship-oriented person who prioritizes community, friendship, and family. You also derive immense fulfillment from pursuing your professional passions. Read on to discover the numerological significance of 26, challenges to watch for, and four core personality traits that define you.

The Numerological Significance of Number 26

Determining the numerological significance of 26 is easier than you think. First, break 26 down into two single-digit numbers, 2 and 6, and then add those numbers to get 8. The distinct characteristics of 2, 6, and 8 come together to form 26’s energy. 

2 represents emotional balance, mysticism, and the desire for connection. 6 aligns with family values, friendship, and harmony. 8 is a powerful number associated with success, material gains, and reciprocity. As these three numbers come together, they create the loving, nurturing energy associated with 26. People who embody 26’s energy are known for being relationship-oriented. They value community and socializing because their connections enrich their lives. They’re also hardworking, so it’s not unlikely for these individuals to amass wealth and success. 

Working with 26’s energy also means working with Saturn, the astrological planet of timing, authority, and karmic lessons. Saturn isn’t an easy planet to work with, but it can be extremely rewarding. Saturn bestows a strong work ethic and steady patience to people who are up for the challenge. A crystal like Hematite is recommended, as it is a grounding stone that enhances mental and emotional clarity.

Challenges to Watch For

Those born on the 26th still face challenges even if they are destined for a life of success and companionship. Their biggest challenge is discerning who to take along for the ride. People with this birth date are relationship-oriented. They know there’s strength in numbers, so finding a like-minded companion or group is ideal. Unfortunately, their biggest challenge is finding the right partner, friend, or colleague. Relationship challenges such as boundaries, expectations, standards, and reciprocity will hit these individuals earlier in life. They may learn a lot about generosity and boundaries after sharing with the wrong friend. There will also be issues concerning sharing success, wealth, and notoriety as they get older. Although there might be betrayal and heartbreak, they will eventually learn to discern who’s worth befriending, loving, or working with, thanks to the challenges they've gone through.

Core Personality Traits of Those Born on the 26th1. Ambitious Yet Empathetic Leaders

People born on the 26th lead with others in mind. They’re destined to be strong, authoritative leaders who can manage the workplace, social plans, family members, and more. What makes them so impressive is their ability to lead with their loved ones’ best interests in mind. These individuals are incredibly considerate and caring, so they will always act with someone else’s desires and needs in mind. Being this selfless and generous is rare, so never take people with this birth date for granted.

2. Material & Financial Success

Wealth and notoriety will find those born on the 26th. It’s not unusual for these individuals to have more obstacles and hindrances earlier in life. They may have come from a family that struggles or may have experienced more setbacks than their peers. Despite facing more obstacles, they don’t get down on themselves. Roadblocks help these individuals develop a strong work ethic and unbeatable ambition. Overcoming each issue also reinforces their strength and talent. All of this and more help individuals with this birth date reach impressive levels of success while still remaining humble. 

3. Community Builders & Connectors

The best friend, partner, and colleague you could ask for is someone who’s born on the 26th. People with this birth date prioritize networking and connections. As children, they may have been the popular kid who readily connected with everyone. As adults, they’re likely well-known in their social circles and professional networks. Everyone gravitates toward individuals with this birth date because they’re magnanimous, friendly, and confident. They seem to know everyone, so they always have a referral for their loved ones. Count yourself lucky to be part of their social circle.

4. Generous & Reciprocal 

Is there anyone more benevolent than someone born on the 26th? Being born on this day means having a charitable spirit. There’s no task or favor they won’t agree to. Real friends and family members know not to take advantage of their kindness. After all, there aren’t many people who will drop everything on a moment’s notice to be there for their loved ones. People with this birth date don’t think twice about helping in any way possible, but they expect the same in return.

It’s long been the open secret of the savvy traveler: if you want to fly coach without feeling like a canned sardine, you book JetBlue. For years, the airline has hung its hat on being the "un-airline," offering the kind of legroom that actually allows you to cross your legs without bumping the seat in front of you.

But as we move further into 2026, that famous "Core" experience is undergoing a quiet, somewhat cramped transformation that loyalists are starting to notice.

While JetBlue still holds the title for the roomiest economy seats among major US carriers, the gap is narrowing. Historically, they were the gold standard with a generous 32 to 33 inches of seat pitch on their Airbus fleet. However, as the airline rolls out new expanded premium offerings and reconfigures its cabins to make room for more high-revenue "Even More Space" and Mint options, the standard economy rows are feeling the squeeze.

As Simple Flyingrecently noted, "JetBlue is going from exceptional to industry standard." This shift means some of their economy configurations are transitioning down to a 30-32 inch pitch, which brings them right back into the pack with everyone else.

This "premium creep" is a double-edged sword for the JetBlue faithful. On one hand, the airline is introducing more upscale choices for those willing to splurge, but that extra luxury has to come from somewhere—and usually, it’s being carved out of the standard coach cabin. For those who happen to find themselves in one of the newer configurations later this year, that "most legroom in coach" claim may start to feel more like a memory.

For those who can’t imagine losing those precious inches, there are still a few "outlier" alternatives if you’re willing to look beyond the major US legacy brands. Carriers like Japan Airlines and Caribbean Airlines are some of the rare gems still offering up to 34 inches of pitch, though they obviously don't have the domestic reach of our hometown favorite.

The bottom line for 2026? Don’t just assume your favorite seat is still there. As the airline shifts its focus toward big-spending travelers, the "Core" experience is becoming a bit more "squished." It’s a good reminder to always check the seat map before you pull the trigger on that spring getaway, because that legendary JetBlue legroom might just be a "limited edition" feature moving forward.

The country music community is heartbroken following the death of beloved singer and musician Ronnie Bowman, who has died at age 64. 

According to Taste of Country, Bowman passed away on Sunday, March 22, at Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville, Tenn., following a deadly motorcycle accident in Ashland City, which occurred the day prior. 

Born in Mount Airy, North Carolina, Bowman grew up singing gospel music and performed in a family band as a child. Years later, he would become a highly respected musician, songwriter, and bluegrass singer, known for his work with the Lonesome River Band, which formed in 1982. 

Bowman also released several acclaimed solo albums throughout his career, including 1994’s Cold Virginia Night, which won an IBMA Bluegrass Music Award trophy for Album of the Year in 1995. He also released solo albums, 1998’s The Man I’m Tryin’ To Be, 2002’s Starting Over, 2005’s It’s Gettin’ Better All the Time, and 2019’s self-titled Ronnie Bowman.  

In addition to winning an award for his album, Bowman established himself as an influential voice in the bluegrass genre as a three-time IBMA Male Vocalist of the Year, claiming the title in 1995, 1998, and 1999.  

Alongside his solo work, musicianship, and bluegrass resume, Bowman has been credited for writing songs for some of country music’s biggest names. As a composer, he co-wrote Lee Ann Womack’s “The Healing Kind,” Kenny Chesney’s “Never Wanted Nothing More,” Jake Owen’s “The Journey of Your Life,” Chris Stapleton’s “Nobody to Blame,” Brooks & Dunn’s “It’s Getting Better all the Time,” and many others. 

Although Bowman’s family hasn’t made a public statement, many country music artists took to social media to share their heartbreak in the wake of their beloved friend’s death. 

“He was the favorite bluegrass and country singer of everyone I know. And he was everyone’s favorite hang,” Dierks Bentley wrote of Bowman in a post on Instagram. “So many memories come to mind of my earlier days hanging out with him….”

Alison Krauss wrote, “He was a joy to know.”

Fleetwood Mac’s 1975-era track “The Chain” has been ranked among the best classic rock songs of all time, reinforcing its status as one of the band’s most enduring releases. 

The song, featured on the 1977 album Rumours, continues to gain recognition decades after its debut due to both its musical structure and real-life origins.

The latest recognition comes from Collider, which included “The Chain” in its ranking of top classic rock songs. The list defines the genre as guitar-driven, widely accessible tracks released between the mid-1960s and late 1980s, placing Fleetwood Mac’s work among other influential recordings from that era.

“The Chain” stands out within the band’s catalog for several reasons. It is the only Fleetwood Mac song officially credited to all five members of its most famous lineup: Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood.

The track was assembled from multiple unfinished recordings, combining different musical ideas into a single composition during the Rumours sessions.

The creation of Rumours coincided with internal relationship breakdowns within the band. These tensions directly influenced the songwriting process. “The Chain” reflects this period, with lyrics centered on separation, emotional strain and attempts to maintain connection.

Because of this context, the song has often been identified as a breakup anthem. Its lyrics address themes of loyalty and loss, while its structure builds from a restrained opening into a more intense instrumental section. The closing segment, driven by a distinct bass line and steady rhythm, has become one of the track’s most recognizable elements.

Despite its significance, “The Chain” was not released as a single during the original promotion of Rumours. The band instead prioritized other tracks from the album, including “Go Your Own Way,” “Dreams,” “Don’t Stop” and “You Make Loving Fun.”

Over time, however, “The Chain” developed into a core part of Fleetwood Mac’s catalog. It has remained a staple in live performances and is widely recognized by listeners, even those unfamiliar with the band’s full discography.

Recent data shows that “The Chain” continues to perform strongly across global charts. The track recently debuted on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, entering at No. 174. It has also spent 26 weeks on the Billboard Global 200, where it reached a new peak position of No. 121.

This performance has contributed to Fleetwood Mac increasing its presence on international charts. “The Chain” has become the group’s second-highest-charting track on the Billboard Global 200, surpassing “Landslide.” Only “Dreams” has achieved a higher position on that ranking.

Fleetwood Mac released Rumours during its most commercially successful period, often referred to as the band’s pop-rock era. The album has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide and won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1978.

“The Chain” remains one of the defining tracks from that project. Its collaborative songwriting process, combined with its thematic focus on personal conflict, distinguishes it within the album.

As of 2026, Fleetwood Mac’s catalog continues to perform strongly across multiple platforms. While the band is not currently active as a touring group, its music remains widely consumed, with “The Chain” serving as a key example of its lasting reach.

Ella Langley and Jo Dee Messina shared the stage at Country Radio Seminar (CRS) 2026 on Thursday, March 19, delivering a special keynote session called “The Conversation.” In the candid exchange — one of many highlights over the three-day event — the female country powerhouses reflected on their respective journeys both personally and professionally, while also asking each other questions. 

At one point, Langley addressed her struggles with mental health and imposter syndrome. She also recounted a story about a pivotal faith-driven moment she experienced during an encounter with an Uber driver that has stayed with her ever since. 

Fans will recall Langley stepped away in the fall of 2025, canceling a string of shows to focus on her mental health and reconnect with her roots. During the brief hiatus, she devoted time to reading her bible and rediscovering her faith. It appears doing just that has brought her to where she is today, as she prepares to release her sophomore album, Dandelion, due out April 10.

In the months leading up to her break, Langley found herself in a whirlwind. As the most-nominated artist going into the 2025 ACM Awards, she was grappling with intense feelings of self-doubt.

She Felt Unworthy

Looking back, she said, “I remember waking up. I got the news in Canada, and it just rocked my world. I wasn’t even invited to the ACMs the year before. In my head, everybody’s watching me come in like, ‘Why is she here? She’s only been here for four seconds.”

“That was just attacking me,” she added. “I felt unworthy, even though I had worked so hard every single day.”

She Hoped a Trip to the Beach Would Put Her Mind at Ease

Just days before the awards and her 26th birthday, Langley’s team suggested a beach trip. While she hoped the getaway would take away her flood of self-doubt and reset her mind, it didn’t go as planned. Regardless, she and her crew made the most of bad weather with movies, naps, and a swim. But Langley still couldn’t shake the lingering sadness. 

“I just couldn’t get out of that feeling,” she admitted. “It sucked because I was supposed to be so happy....I felt like I wasn’t giving them the version of the artist they deserved.” 

She Experienced a Sudden Panic Attack

The morning they were set to leave, Langley experienced what she described as her most intense panic attack yet.

“I could not catch my breath,” she said. “I had to call my mom and sit on the floor…it took about 30 minutes.”

In the midst of it, her drummer offered to pray for her, but she declined. 

“I’ve always had a relationship with my faith and the Lord, but it’s been kind of a rocky road,” Langley acknowledged. “....I told him no for two reasons. One, I thought if I heard him pray for me for the first time, I would lose it all over again, and two, it made me feel uncomfortable. It scared me.”

The Turning Point

Langley says what happened next is an experience she will never forget. It shifted everything. She says she ended up in an Uber that had unusually patiently waited 45 minutes for her. While on the ride, she ended up overwhelmed with haunting thoughts, but something outside caught her attention. 

A Powerful Moment

“‘I’m like, ‘Wow. Way to go, winner. Here you are, the most nominated, and you’re having a terrible time. Of course, you’re trying to ruin this for you and everyone else.’ Those were all the thoughts going through my head,” she shared, adding that in that moment, she saw a white car surrounded by black vehicles, which sparked a thought. “I thought, ‘You know, that’s kinda like what the devil is trying to do to me right now.’ I hadn’t really thought this way before. All these thoughts come to my mind, and it feels like I’m getting attacked from all different angles. And there’s this one amazing thing happening, but for some reason, my brain is not letting it happen.” 

“I said, ‘It would be kinda crazy if another white car came,” she added. 

Then, more white cars began appearing, one after another.

“Here comes another white car. I said, ‘It would be crazy if another white car came,’ here comes another one. No way, and another one, and this flood of the same white car. I was like, ‘What? That’s a coincidence,” she said of the surprising moment, which she later took as a sign from above. 

“Then I heard on the radio, ‘religious radio.’ I look out the window, and there’s a white car with a ‘He’s greater’ sign. So I’m standing there having the most insane God moment in my entire life....” 

Langley described the moment as the most profound spiritual experience of her life, one she believes was God reaching out to her.

“I felt him talking to me. I heard him talking to me, but I was just like ‘this is what they talk about,’” she said. “I look back over, and my manager is like, ‘Well, I don’t think the bags are gonna make it.’ I think we’ll have to fly everything.’ I immediately snapped out of that. I don’t hear anything else. And, I’m just beating myself up again…”

An Exchange With the Uber Driver

Then, unexpectedly, the Uber driver spoke. 

“She looks at me in the rear view mirror, has no idea the moment I'm having, in the back seat. Looks at me in the eyes and says, ‘God’s got you.’ What?” 

Sharing a personal story of loss and faith, the Uber driver told Langley she felt called to deliver that message to her. The driver also reached her hand out to comfort Langley, and began singing a hymn to her — something the “Be Her” singer said her grandmother used to do. 

“I just cried like a little kid. For the first time in my life, I accepted that presence that has been there the whole time,” Langley emotionally said. 

“He never leaves you,” Messina said. 

“He never did,” Langley said, adding that the song has inspired her upcoming unreleased track, “Speaking Terms.” “But it took me to my knees, and I’m so grateful for the journey that He’s led me on because it genuinely has grown me into the human being that is made to do this, and He let me venture out far enough, but He was like, ‘You ain’t that far. I got you right here.’ [Since last year], every day, I pull my Bible out. I had dust all over it. I had to look for it for two days. That’s the thing, with all of these questions, ‘How are you getting through this?’ It’s that. It is truly that.”

Countless performers succeed in either acting or comedy, but few bring the two together as effortlessly as Keegan-Michael Key.

The 2010s star, best known for his Emmy-winning work on Key & Peele, is celebrating his 55th birthdaySunday.

Born on March 22, 1971, in Southfield, Michigan, Key did not have a typical rise to fame. Instead of beginning through stand-up, he trained as an actor, studying theater at the University of Detroit Mercy and earning an MFA from Penn State. His background is evident in everything he does, from the way he fully commits to a character to the almost over-the-top physicality that became his signature.

Throughout his early career, he spent years on MADtv, quietly strengthening the skills that would eventually drive his success. Then in 2012, his career changed forever. Teaming up with Jordan Peele, the duo launched Key & Peele, a sketch show that became globally beloved and continues to consume the internet to this day.

The series is loved for its eccentric yet relatable characters and its skillful writing. It's smart without feeling forced, ridiculous in the best way, and filled with quotable lines. Sketches like "Substitute Teacher" and "Obama's Anger Translator" quickly went viral, and unlike most internet hits, they did not fade with time. They remain widely recognizable and continue to circulate today, reflecting the show's impact and strong connection with audiences.

This run led Key to earn a Primetime Emmy in 2016 and, more importantly, solidified him as one of the most defining comedic actors of the decade.

In an interview with Salon, Key reflects on the idea of success and its fleeting quality. He explains, "There is no top. You are never going to reach the top if you go for success. That way lies madness. Do what you love in your community."

Since the end of Key and Peele, Key has remained extremely active. He has appeared in movies, TV, voice acting and even Broadway, acting in everything from big studio films to animated hits like The Lion King. He has also undertaken various hosting gigs and leading roles, proving that despite being part of an iconic duo, he can carry the spotlight on his own as well.

At 55, Key is still actively building his legacy. His vibrant, quick-witted humor continues to draw audiences to his work. Whether it's a brief cameo, a voice role or an entire performance, he has a way of making moments feel a little more real and a lot more fun to watch.

Happy birthday, Keri Russell!

The Diplomat actress and ’90s icon joins the 50 club today. But that’s not the only big news this beauty has up her sleeve. 

At this month’s Actor Awards, the Americans star not only won the award for Best Female Actor in a Drama Series for her role in the hit political drama The Diplomat, but she dropped major news on the red carpet before the big show.

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight’s Nischelle Turner, the actress, who looked gorgeous in a custom one-shoulder Louis Vuitton gown and shimmering jewels, and her significant other, Matthew Rhys, 51, who was also nominated that night for his role in Netflix’s The Beast, talked TV, kids, and Russell’s milestone birthday.

“Does anyone have the kids tonight?” Turner asked.

“Who cares?” Rhys joked. “The window’s cracked. The TV’s on. They’re fine. They have DoorDash these days.”

A mom of three, Russell shares two children — River, 18, and Willa, 13 — with ex-husband Shane Deary, and one — Sam, 9 — with Rhys, per People.

Keri Russell on Turning 50

Midway through the chat, Turner asked Russell about “joining the 50 club,” telling the Felicity queen, “50 was a good year.”

“Is there something that you haven’t done that you really want to do this year?” Turner asked.

“Oh, God, I don’t know, but I feel good about it,” Russell said. “I feel like times have changed.”

“You have said you’re looking forward to giving less of a fudge,” Rhys popped in.

“Yes, yeah,” Russell said. “I think that it just feels good.”

Keri Russell on the Possibility of a Felicity Reboot

Getting to reboot news, Turner mentioned that she “was just with Scott Speedman,” who “said he wants to get the whole gang back together — Scott Foley as well — and do something. … We would love to see you guys get back together again.”

“You know, my friend Mandy who played Meg on the show, she said she has an idea for it, so we’ll see,” Russell said.

“Ohhh??” Rhys said, as interested as we still are. “What is it?”

“I don’t know!” Russell said.

“Anything for me?” he quipped, to which she laughed. 

Russell went on to win her category that night. Rhys lost the hardware to Owen Cooper for his role in the Netflix series Adolescence, but he won the night as Best Beau Ever when he scored green-flag buzz for fixing the train of Russell’s dress on the Actor red carpet. 

View this post on Instagram

Overall, it seemed to be a wonderful night for the couple and that the new decade for Russell is a welcome change. Keep an eye out for The Diplomat Season 4, which is in the works now, per Netflix. And keep an ear out for more Felicity buzz. 

Dear Sally, please make this happen!

Keith Urban was among several artists who performed at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on Thursday, March 19, as part of the 17th Annual Team MCA: Live At The Ryman luncheon at Country Radio Seminar (CRS) 2026.

During his time on stage inside the historic venue, the country music superstar, 58, played a round of songs on electric guitar without a backup band. One of those stripped-down tunes was a cover of Robbie Dupree’s 1980s Top 10 hit “Steal Away.” The song was named a Greatest One-Hit Wonder of the 80s by VH1, according to Entertainment Weekly.

For his performance, Urban kept it casual, sporting a short-sleeved T-shirt and blue jeans while seated center stage. Showcasing his signature country vocals and musical mastery, Urban had the crowd cheering throughout the mini jam session. 

“Why don't we steal away / Why don't we steal away into the night / I know it ain't right / Into the night, babe / Make it tonight,” the Australian-born singer crooned while tapping his toe and before incorporating some of his own lyrics into the tune on the fly. 

“I need a little blue sky / A little tail-gate home / I’m done with the rain / I’m done with the cold…” he sang. 

Keith Urban Plans to Release an Album of Covers

Urban’s version of the song will likely be one of the cover tracks on his next album, as he also revealed in the set that a new project is on the way. And, not just any album — a yacht rock-inspired one. 

“It’s the first time I’ve done an album of covers,” Urban told the crowd, which included radio programmers, journalists, publicists, and more. “There is one original on the record. It’s a thematic record… yacht rock songs.”

“You think I’m kidding? I’m not kidding,” he clarified. 

Urban didn’t specify anything further about the upcoming project. He also didn’t share a release date, but more information will be revealed in due time. Along with “Steal Away,” the Grammy Award winner treated the audience to a portion of  Stephen Bishop’s “On and On” and an original called “We Go Back.” 

He Was Also the Recipient of the Randy Owen Angels Among Us Award

Urban, who was also honored at CRS with the Randy Owen Angels Among Us Award for his commitment and service to aiding the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in its mission, took the stage toward the end of the event. Other artists who performed for Team MCA included Kassi Ashton, Dalton Davis, Wyatt Flores, Tyler Hubbard, and Kenny Whitmire. 

"This is an incredibly special year for us as it marks our first Ryman luncheon as MCA," said MA Senior VP Damon Moberly in a statement. "The legacy of this event runs deep at CRS and within the country music community, and we are honored to carry that tradition forward. With such an extraordinary lineup of artists representing the strength and diversity of our roster, we're excited to celebrate this new chapter as MCA while continuing to support and champion our partners at country radio."
