Costco shoppers looking for a prenatal vitamin will soon have another option to add to their shopping list.

Ritual’s Essential Prenatal is expanding to Costco nationwide on Aug. 3, bringing the brand’s popular prenatal multivitamin to warehouses across the country. The Costco-exclusive offering comes as a two-bottle pack for $48.99, providing a 60-day supply.

The Costco price also makes it Ritual’s lowest cost-per-day option, according to the brand. At $48.99 for 60 days, that works out to about 82 cents per day.

Ritual’s Essential Prenatal is formulated with nutrients including folate, omega-3 DHA, choline, iron and vitamin D3. The company also emphasizes traceable ingredients and third-party testing as part of its approach to supplements.

One of the biggest selling points is the research behind the formula. Ritual says Essential Prenatal is backed by its own human clinical trial (a 24-week, randomized, double-blind, controlled study involving 62 women in their second and third trimesters).

The brand first began selling Essential Prenatal at select Costco warehouses on the West Coast earlier this year. The new expansion will make the two-pack available to Costco shoppers nationwide, according to Ritual.

And for anyone who would rather skip the warehouse altogether, the prenatal will also be available through Costco’s same-day delivery service, where available.

The rollout gives Costco members another way to stock up on a prenatal from a brand that has become a popular name in the supplement space—while the two-pack format means fewer trips to restock.

Arby’s is giving its $7.99 value meal a little more heat.

Beginning Aug. 3, the fast-food chain is adding a new Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich to its Meat & 3 Value Box, giving fans another option when they’re in the mood to switch up their usual order.

The new sandwich starts with crispy chicken tossed in spicy Buffalo sauce, then gets topped with creamy ranch and shredded lettuce. It all comes together on a toasted, buttery brioche bun for a combination that hits the sweet spot between spicy, creamy and crunchy.

And the best part? It joins the Meat & 3 lineup without changing the $7.99 price.

The value box comes with a choice of entrée, plus three sides and a drink. Along with the new Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich, customers can still choose the Ham & Swiss Sandwich or Crispy Chicken Sandwich.

Every box also includes a small order of Arby’s Curly Fries, two Mozzarella Sticks, a Peach Cobbler Roll and a small drink.

That makes the new Buffalo Ranch option an easy way to get a little more variety out of the popular value meal. If you’re already a fan of the classic Buffalo-and-ranch combination, the sandwich is arguably the most tempting choice in the lineup.

The Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich will be available as an entrée option in Arby’s Meat & 3 Value Box beginning Aug. 3. As with other limited-time menu offerings, availability may vary by location.

Chef Esther Choi is bringing the flavors of her Korean-American kitchen to home cooks with the launch of a new pantry staple brand.

The acclaimed chef, restaurateur, cookbook author and Food Network personality announced the debut of Sessy on Aug. 3, introducing a trio of foundational Korean pantry essentials: soy sauce, sesame oil and gochujang. Rather than launching with an expansive lineup of products, Choi chose to focus on the ingredients she says form the backbone of Korean cooking.

Crafted in partnership with Sempio, one of Korea's oldest and most respected food companies, the three products are made in Korea using traditional methods that emphasize depth of flavor over shortcuts.

"I am so proud that Sessy honors both my Korean heritage and my approach to the cuisine as a chef and restaurateur," Choi said in a statement. "We decided to launch first with the trio that belongs in any modern kitchen: soy sauce, gochujang, and sesame oil. These are the staples of Korean food, and I cannot wait for American kitchens everywhere to get their hands on Sessy."

Chef Esther Choi Is Expanding Beyond the Kitchen

Choi has become one of Food Network's fastest-rising personalities in recent years. In addition to co-hosting 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing with Michael Symon, she's competed on Beat Bobby Flay, Bobby's Triple Threat and Chopped, while also launching the Food Network digital series Cooking With Choi. Her debut cookbook Hand Taste: Cook Like a Korean Grandmother is scheduled for release on Oct. 27.

But long before television, Choi's culinary education began at home. She has often credited her grandmother with teaching her the fundamentals of Korean cooking, from marinating bulgogi to preparing tteokbokki from scratch. Those early lessons became the inspiration behind Sessy, which is built around the pantry staples she believes every great Korean meal begins with.

Instead of chasing trends or adapting Korean flavors for mass appeal, Choi said she wanted to create products that stay true to their roots while making authentic ingredients more accessible for American home cooks.

Sessy Launches With Three Korean Pantry Essentials

The inaugural Sessy collection includes three staples found in countless Korean kitchens:

• Soy sauce: A non-GMO soy sauce made from carefully selected soybeans, water and salt that undergoes a five-step fermentation process for rich, savory umami flavor.
• Sesame oil: Made from 100% sesame seeds and cold-pressed to deliver an intensely nutty, aromatic finish for dishes like bibimbap, fried rice, vegetables and dipping sauces.
• Gochujang: A vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO fermented chili paste that develops smoky heat and deep savory flavor through traditional aging.

According to the company, the line is designed for anyone who wants to cook Korean food more confidently, whether they grew up with the cuisine or are discovering it for the first time.

Parade had the opportunity to sample all three products ahead of the launch, comparing them side by side with standard grocery store versions. The differences were immediately noticeable, particularly with the soy sauce, which offered a remarkably richer, more layered umami flavor. The sesame oil delivered an intensely roasted, nutty aroma, while the gochujang balanced heat with a deep, complex savoriness that stood out from more common supermarket varieties.

Sessy is available now exclusively through the brand's website, with retail expansion planned for 2027.

A few ruffles never hurt a summer wardrobe, especially when they come with a price tag below $5. The Viadha Cotton-Linen Ruffle T-Shirt is currently on sale at Walmart, starting at just $4, down from $10. It comes in 22 colors, including mint green, sky blue, pink, and watermelon red, with sizes running from small to 5XL, but you'll get the best deal on the beige option with delicate ruffles on the hem and sleeves.

The top is made from a breathable cotton-linen blend material that’s designed to feel comfortable and moisture-wicking. It has mid-length sleeves, a round neckline, a relaxed fit, and a cutesy, pleated ruffle hem that gives it a softer look than a regular T-shirt. It’s also recommended to hand-wash cold and hang- or line-dry.

The ruffle hem gives the top a dainty, delicate look, but its overall design is still casual enough for errands, travel days, brunch, or shopping. The linen-and-cotton blend fabric is a good match for summer once temperatures start climbing, especially if you like tops that feel lighter and less clingy. And since it has a round neckline and mid-length sleeves, it offers a little more coverage than a tank top without feeling too heavy to wear in warm weather. 

Shoppers have called the shirt "comfortable," "very pretty," and the "perfect length." One person said it's a "nice summer top" that's "easy to dress up or style casually," while another reviewer commented on its "beautiful color and style." It's also worth noting that many people recommend ironing or steaming it before wearing it, since the linen-blend material tends to wrinkle easily.

The lightweight fabric is perfect for summer, and the solid-color design makes it easy to pair with a variety of bottoms and accessories. You could wear the neutral shades with denim shorts or wide-leg jeans, or pair the brighter shades with sandals and a small bag when you want the top to stand out more. You could also wear the shirt tucked in for a more dressed-up look, or let the ruffles flow as you go about your day.

If your summer closet could use a refresh before the season is in full swing, the Viadha Linen-Blend Ruffle T-Shirt is worth grabbing. You'll end up paying a little more in shipping (which adds to the overall cost) but the base price of the shirt is hard to beat. Be sure to snag one (or two, or three) now while the $4 deal is still live at Walmart.

Prince Harry has extended yet another olive branch to his father King Charles III in his latest effort to reconcile with the monarch.

The Mirror reports that Charles has will be invited by the organizers of the 2027 Invictus Games to attend either the opening or closing ceremony of the week-long event.

They write, "The prince's plan could see the monarch join him at major events during the Games."

Harry is the patron of the Invictus Games, which are due to be held in Birmingham in July.

The Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan Markle traveled to the UK last month for events that marked the one-year countdown to next year's Games, but their much-hyped visit to Harry's home country is said to have fallen far short of the couple's expectations.

It was a 'nightmare week' for Prince Harry, who learned during his stay in the UK that he had lost his court case against Associated Newspapers, and will mostly likely have to pay millions of dollars in legal fees.

Meanwhile a source close to Meghan said there was a “lot of sadness” on the duchess’s part with regard to how her and Harry’s week in the UK unfolded.

Another source close to the couple said that Meghan would have felt “humiliated” as the back-and-forth between Harry’s team and the palace unfolded ahead of their return.

A claim by Harry’s team that he would be staying at Buckingham Palace was followed only fifteen minutes later by a statement by the palace that he would not in fact be staying at the royal residence.

Royal sources said the Duke of Sussex had been made aware that the offer to stay at Buckingham Palace had been withdrawn because he had not accepted the offer on time.

In the end Meghan pulled out of all the Invictus engagements she was supposed to attend alongside her husband, and was not once seen in public while she was in the UK.

Eventually it was agreed that Charles and Queen Camilla would receive Harry, Meghan and their children for tea at Highgrove House on the express condition that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not to leak any details of their meeting to the press.

This meant that Harry and Meghan did not secure the coveted ‘money shot’: a picture of their children with their grandfather the king, which would have given their image in the US a much needed boost.

It seems that the reunion, however brief, has given Harry new hope that he and his father could pave the way to a more public reconciliation.

The Mirror writes that Harry "has been buoyed by the emotional reunion with his father, alongside his wife Meghan and their children, earlier this month for the first time in four years."

A source has revealed that Harry wants more meetings between the monarch and his grandchildren to take place going forward.

An insider said, "“Harry’s intention is two fold. He would love the King’s support at the Games, while having his father by his side would also add considerable weight to his argument for security for his family to accompany him on the trip. “

In the meantime, Harry is set to return to the UK in September for the WellChild Awards—and this time he will reportedly accept the king's longstanding invitation to stay at Buckingham Palace.

For a generation of millennials, the first real taste of online identity came with a carefully curated top 8 and an autoplay song. That corner of the early internet is now inching toward a comeback; the people who actually own it are saying so out loud.

The confirmation came from Chris and Tim Vanderhook, the brothers whose company has controlled Myspace since 2011, speaking in Tommy Avallone's new documentary about the platform. Tim Vanderhook says the brand is still theirs and that they are going to relaunch Myspace, adding that they are waiting for the right moment and would simply try again if a first attempt did not stick.

Myspace launched in 2003, a year before Facebook, and quickly grew into one of the most visited sites on the planet. It was a place where users learned just enough HTML to make a page feel like their own, and where bands built audiences long before streaming existed. Acts including Arctic Monkeys, Calvin Harris and Lily Allen used it to reach fans directly, part of a music-discovery legacy that helped define its peak. At its height in the late 2000s, the site drew tens of millions of monthly visitors in the United States and more than 10 million users in the United Kingdom alone. News Corporation bought the platform for $580 million in 2005, and a group that included Justin Timberlake later acquired it for $35 million in 2011. It now sits under Viant Technology.

One notable absence from any revival is Tom Anderson, the co-founder known to millions as "Myspace Tom," the automatic first friend on nearly every account. He stepped away from the company years ago and is not part of the current ownership or the planned relaunch. The rest of the picture is unclear. The owners have not shared a launch date, a design, or how a new version would function, and coverage of the news suggests a platform built around creativity and music rather than the algorithm-driven feeds that dominate now.

Myspace never fully vanished, and it has weathered several failed reinventions already, including an earlier Timberlake-backed redesign. But former users' affection has remained, probably tied to a earlier time when the internet felt a little more personal. Any return would also arrive at a time that is completely different from when it first launched, with mobile apps and far sharper scrutiny from regulators and parents over how young people use social media. For now, though, millions of one-time members will need juts to revisit their old profiles and wait.

One of classic rock's most popular 1960s songs, the Doors' "Hello, I Love You," is celebrating the 58th anniversary of the day it finally nabbed the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on Aug. 3.

The exciting milestone happened 58 years ago, on Aug. 3, 1968, with the song becoming the band's second No. 1 hit. Unfortunately, it was also the Doors' final No. 1 hit before the band disbanded in 1973.

"Hello, I Love You" was released as an official single on the Doors' third studio album, Waiting for the Sun. It was the band's second single for the album, following "The Unknown Soldier."

As the story goes, the song was inspired by a young woman lead singer Jim Morrison saw at Venice Beach. The lyrics depict what the musician would've said to the woman if given the chance, with lines like, "Hello, I love you/ Won't you tell me your name?"

"She holds her head so high/ Like a statue in the sky/ Her arms are wicked and her legs are long/ When she moves, my brain screams out this song," the lyrics go on.

In a 1968 interview, Morrison said of the song, "Sure, ‘Hello, I Love You’ isn’t one of our best songs, but I am not ashamed of it."

He continued, "Really I like the other side better. I was hoping they would flip it and play that, but they haven’t. But now that we have got our foot in the door perhaps they will listen a bit more," referring to the B-side "Love Street."

After the song came out as a single, it was a huge success. By the start of August, it had reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, and it held this position for two weeks before another track replaced it.

"Hello, I Love You" also topped the US Cash Box Top 100 chart, as well as Canada's top singles chart. It made it into the Top 40 in multiple other countries as well, including the U.K., Switzerland, South Africa, New Zealand, and more.

As a travel editor, I’ve watched the luggage industry undergo a massive evolution, but no category has evolved more than the humble personal item. A decade ago, it was just the random backpack or tote you threw over your shoulder. Today, with airlines tightening dimensions and charging premium fees for the overhead bin, your personal item has to be a high-performance workspace, a secondary closet, and a master class in organization. It needs to look sharp on a Mediterranean cruise, withstand the winter chill of an Alaskan sailing, slide seamlessly onto a trolley sleeve, and squeeze under a tight budget-airline seat without busting a zipper.

I’m notoriously tough on personal items. When I travel, I don't pack light—I pack smart. My personal item kit includes a heavy tech arsenal (laptop, chords, two power banks, selfie stick/tripod), a travel pillow, eye mask, portable fan, umbrella, a full mini North Face sling backpack, and a reusable medication tumbler. Plus, I always need enough give-room to bring back bulky sweatshirts and souvenir magnets for my family.

With so many "it bags" currently dominating social media feeds, I wanted to see which ones live up to the hype and which ones fail under the pressure of a real-world travel schedule. From the cobblestones of Quebec to the humidity of Florida’s theme parks, here is my honest breakdown of how the five most famous personal items actually handled the heat.

Why You Can Trust Us

To truly test these five viral contenders, I spent six months (January through July) living out of them. These weren’t just quick "around the block" terminal walks. I put these bags through the ringer on a massive variety of real-world itineraries, including a Mediterranean cruise on Legend of the Seas, an Alaskan sailing aboard Celebrity Solstice, Florida theme park treks, and winter cruises. They navigated everything from the cobblestones of Spain and Italy, the humidity of Miami and Tampa, and a trip to Paris for Adventure World’s opening.

Because a personal item takes the brunt of travel wear-and-tear, I treated these bags exactly how an overpacker would. Each bag was stuffed to the brim as my primary personal item, carrying everything mentioned above. They were aggressively crammed under airline seats, thrown into the backs of Ubers, and dragged through endless cruise terminals.

To ensure a perfectly level playing field, I used a side-by-side testing methodology. Every single bag was packed with pretty much the same gear. Over the course of thousands of miles, I evaluated each bag on a strict set of criteria:

• Trolley Sleeve Performance: How easily does it slide onto a rolling suitcase handle, and does it stay securely balanced without tipping the luggage over?
• Ergonomics & Comfort: Do the straps dig into the shoulders or chest when the bag is at maximum capacity, and does the weight distribution feel natural or awkward?
• Durability & Construction: Do the zippers hold up under extreme pressure, and can the fabric survive being stuffed under tight airplane seats without scuffing or tearing?
• Cleanability: How easily does the exterior fabric wipe clean when terminal snacks and cruise ship drinks inevitably spill?
• Capacity Flexibility: Does it comfortably hold the baseline packing list while still leaving enough giving room to bring home bulky sweatshirts and souvenirs?

The verdicts below are the result of these grueling, real-world stress tests.

The TLDR Version:

LeSportsak Carlin Zip Top Tote Bag: Crafted from featherlight, packable nylon that folds completely flat into your luggage, this is the ultimate secondary bag to bring along on long-haul vacations when you know you'll need extra room for souvenirs on the way home.

Vera Bradley Miramar Weekender: All-Around 'Forever Bag': A quintessential, soft-sided classic that stands the test of time, this ultra-durable, machine-washable bag easily morphs from a campus companion to a reliable airplane carry-on for decades.

Away Featherlight Weekender: Love the durability and compartments to stay organized: Built like a tank and engineered for the chronic over-packer, this structured bag features a brilliant array of dedicated compartments—including a separate shoe garage—to keep your essentials flawlessly organized on the move.

Quince Quilted Transit Tote: Punching way above its weight class, this duffel delivers the premium materials, sleek aesthetic, and smart pocket layout of a luxury brand at a fraction of the price, making it a stellar value for frequent flyers.

Calpack Luka Duffel: Marrying streetwear aesthetics with rugged utility, this viral, lightweight puffy duffel features a scratch-resistant exterior that handles the wear-and-tear of travel without sacrificing its fashion-forward edge.

The Deep Dive: 6 Months of Living Out of the “It” Travel Bags1. LeSportsac Carlin Zip Top Tote Bag

The Viral Cred: Named a top-tested, packable Nylon favorite by Cosmopolitan and long prized by travel editors for its ultra-lightweight, crushable ripstop fabric.

Price: $150; Dimensions: 14.5″ H x 14.5″–21.5″ W x 8.25″ D; Capacity: 35 L; The User Verdict: "Not only does it have three exterior back panel pockets, it also has a center back pocket that's convertible!"–Cosmopolitan

The Take: Because it lacks a rigid structure, stuffing it with heavy power banks, a laptop, and a full North Face sling bag can make it feel a bit like a lumpy sack on your shoulders if not packed strategically. However, its trolley sleeve performance is surprisingly nimble because it molds to your carry-on handle, and it is hands-down the easiest to wipe clean when a drink inevitably spills in the terminal. When empty, it disappears into nothing, making it the dream bag for bringing home bulky Alaska sweatshirts and Disney ears.

The Personal Item Verdict: The Ultimate Souvenir Shape-Shifter.

2. Vera Bradley Miramar Weekender Travel Bag (Quilted Cotton or Performance Twill)

The Viral Cred: An iconic travel staple featured across multiple best-duffel roundups, such as Travel + Leisure, thanks to its machine-washable cotton construction.

Price: $100-122.50; Dimensions: 13″ H x 19″ W x 8″ D; Capacity: 32 L; The User Verdict: "Color = perfection, size = perfection, material = perfection, space = perfection!"—Maché R, via Amazon

The Take: If you are testing strap comfort over your chest and shoulders when packed to the brim, Vera Bradley wins for its soft, padded straps that never dig into your skin during long security lines. It squeezes under even the tightest budget-airline seats with ease, though a heavy laptop can cause it to sag slightly on a trolley sleeve. The biggest win for theme park and cruise life? You can literally toss the whole bag into a washing machine after it spends a week on sticky cruise ship carpet and dusty Uber floors.

The Personal Item Verdict: The Comfort Queen That Forgives a Spill.

Away Featherlight Weekender

The Viral Cred: Frequently featured as a top structured weekender pick on Marie Claire and Conde Nast Traveler for its organization and built-in shoe garage.

Price: $148; Dimensions: 20.9" x 9.4" x 13.8" D; Capacity: 44 L; The User Verdict:“This bag is very lightweight especially when carrying. It actually holds more than a weekend worth of clothes. I packed for 5 days and still had space."—Risa, via Away

The Take: This bag was built for your exact packing list. The structured compartments mean your laptop, tech cords, and tumbler won't crush your souvenir mugs. It slides onto a trolley sleeve and stays perfectly upright and balanced without tipping your rolling suitcase over. The tradeoff? It is a hefty bag on its own. When stuffed with two power banks, books, and an umbrella, the straps can feel heavy and stiff on your shoulders during a mad dash through the Miami airport.

The Personal Item Verdict: The Overpacker’s Heavy-Duty Fortress.

4. Quince Transit Quilted Duffel Bag

Quince

The Viral Cred: Highlighted as a top-rated budget luxury travel bag by gear reviewers and editors on People for its sleek organization and designer look at an affordable price.

Price: $124; Dimensions: 12” H x 17.5” L x W 7”; Capacity: ~23-24 L; The User Verdict:"I was looking for a travel carry-on that zipped closed, held a water bottle, had a laptop sleeve and enough space for all of my stuff. I was skeptical at first—I had looked at the MZ bags, the Pak bags but they were all missing something. This had it all and it absolutely delivered."—jacquelynclark@me.com

The Take: For a fraction of the price of high-end weekenders, this bag handles high-density stuffing beautifully. The zippers are impressively rugged and don't catch or burst even when you are jamming a travel pillow and purse into the top at the gate. It sits securely on a trolley handle, though the shoulder straps lack the heavy padding of Vera Bradley, meaning it can start to dig in if you’re carrying it through a terminal change at the airport.

The Personal Item Verdict: The Sleek, Budget-Friendly Workhorse.

5. Calpak Luka Duffel

The Viral Cred: Selected as best for chronically busy overpackers by InStyle and one reviewer's "favorite all time" weekender on Condé Nast Traveler.

Price: $138; Dimensions:12″ H x 16″ W x 8″ D; Capacity: 25 L: The User Verdict:"Obsessed with this thing. It’s so spacious and fit so much—I think the trick is in the fabric. I love it!"—Jasmine W via Calpack.com

The Take: The Luka is a dream for the "stuffed under the seat" test. Because of its puffy, lightweight material, it compresses effortlessly into tight spaces without damaging the bag or your gear. The lightweight design counteracts the weight of your heavy tech, and the puffy straps offer a built-in cushion that feels incredibly comfortable over your chest. It balances perfectly on a luggage handle, and the matte, scratch-resistant exterior resists liquid spills and terminal grime much better than traditional canvas.

The Personal Item Verdict: The Virally Puffy Cloud.

CNN's Dana Bash is drawing widespread praise online after delivering an immediate comeback when Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told her, "Dana, you probably don't understand this because you're not a scientist," during Sunday's State of the Union.

The exchange came as Bash questioned Kennedy about the scientific consensus that childhood vaccines do not cause autism. After Kennedy dismissed her by saying she wasn't a scientist, Bash quickly replied, "You're not either"—a moment that rapidly spread across social media, where many viewers applauded the veteran CNN anchor for standing her ground. While reactions remained divided, a wave of commenters described the exchange as "wild to watch" and praised Bash for challenging the health secretary during the tense interview.

"Dana Bash should get combat pay for talking with both RFK and Jim Jordan and both on the same day!" one person shared on Threads, with another noting that her comeback to the scientist remark was "perfect."

RFK Jr: Dana, you probably don't understand this because you're not a scientist

BASH: Well you're not either!

RFK Jr: I know you're flustered now pic.twitter.com/h8c95Scsq7

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) August 2, 2026

Social media users were quick to rally behind Bash, with many saying they were relieved to see a reporter immediately push back after what they viewed as another dismissive remark from a Trump administration official. "Kudos to Dana Bash for keeping her composure and asking the right questions," one user wrote, while another praised the anchor for bringing "facts" as Kennedy "brought a meltdown." Another viewer summed up the exchange simply: "Watching Dana Bash on CNN today was a perfect use of my 21 minutes."

A few people reflected on Kennedy's tone, saying he was having an "epic crash out" and the "segment wound down with him getting mad and barking at her like a rabid dog".

Not everyone sided with Bash, though. A smaller contingent of Kennedy supporters and conservative commentators argued the CNN anchor crossed the line from reporter to debater, with some accusing her of pushing a pro-pharmaceutical narrative. Others amplified Kennedy's own criticism of the media, defending his performance and attacking CNN's coverage of vaccine-related issues.

Hearing AC/DC for the first time is like an awakening of sorts: the theatrics, the harsh, plucky basslines, and the shrill but enticing voice of Bon Scottwere all it took for some to fall in love with rock and roll. Scott delighted teens and frightened parents with his wild stage antics and rare tattoos, but before he did all that, he was actually part of a bubblegum pop band, The Valentines.

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

Singing songs like "Build Me Up Buttercup," Scott kicked off his music career with stints in The Spektors and The Valentines. There, he sharpened his unique vocal range and drumming skills. He moved into the role of the band's lead vocalist in 1966. In their short time together, they released two EPs: The Valentines in 1968, followed by My Old Man’s a Groovy Old Man in 1969. The band ended up breaking up in 1970. Scott moved on to form Fraternity, which mostly did cover songs and was hailed as one of the "next big bands" before their untimely dissolution.

How The Valentines Set the Stage for AC/DC's Formation

The stint in bubblegum pop proved to be a great choice for Scott, as his bandmate Vince Lovegrove from The Valentines was the one who ultimately introduced him to George Young, the producer of an upcoming band: AC/DC. After making an onstage appearance with the band, Scott instantly connected with guitarists Angus Young and Malcolm Young.

In the few years they were together with Scott as the frontman, AC/DC created some of the most iconic and influential songs in rock history—six studio albums' worth. Hits like “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap,” "T.N.T.," and "It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)” all happened under the Scott era of the band. Scott's approach to the music industry was truly unique; while everyone was obsessing over charting and single releases, Scott and the rest of AC/DC were focused on building their road following and putting on spectacular shows.

"Now, we're not a singles band over here," Scott once told Countdown'sIan "Molly" Meldrum. "Bands that release singles that take off without already having established a road following are going to suffer the same effects as Has Sherbet, you know? Yeah, they had a big record over here, and their English tour consisted of one gig, you know? Because—no slant on them, but they're a record band, you know, and they had no road following, so no one comes to see their shows. So we have the following. If we released a single here now, it would do really well."

Sadly, Scott's music career was cut short when he died in February 1980, weeks after finishing AC/DC's Highway to Hell tour. Scott's dedication to creating a true live experience and persona set him apart from other rockers of his time, and his personal story of pushing through until he found his "people" remains unmistakably inspiring over 50 years later.

A new Princess Diaries movie? In the words of Mia Thermopolis, Shut up!

The Queen of Genovia herself, a.k.a. Anne Hathaway, confirmed the long-awaited third film on Oct. 4, 2024. "Miracles happen ✨👑 Back to Genovia with @adeleblim @disney @somewherepictures. The fairy tale continues ❤️‍🔥," she wrote alongside a video on Instagram.

Joy Ride's Adele Lim has been tapped to direct the third installment. "As a diehard fan of the original ‘Princess Diaries,’ I’m beyond excited to be a part of bringing the third iteration of this beloved franchise to life," Lim told Deadline in a statement. "We look forward to celebrating its core tenants of female power, joy and mentorship with audiences worldwide."

The Hollywood Reporter stated back in 2022 that a third Princess Diaries film was in the works. Though at the time, Aadrita Mukerji was said to be writing a script for Disney. According to Deadline, Flora Greeson is writing the screenplay.

The first Princess Diaries movie, starringHathaway and Julie Andrews,premiered over 20 years ago. Garry Marshall directed the original 2001 film, as well as the 2004 sequel,The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement. Discussing a potential Princess Diaries 3 after the filmmaker's passing, Andrews told BuzzFeed News, "I think we might do it in honor of [Marshall]."

Before we return to Genovia, here is everything we know so far about Princess Diaries 3.

Who is the director of Princess Diaries 3? 

Adele Lim is set to helm the third Princess Diaries movie. The previous films were directed by Garry Marshall, who passed away in 2016.

Is Anne Hathaway returning for Princess Diaries 3?

Hathaway had previously admitted to Entertainment Tonight that she was "pulling for" a Princess Diaries 3. Months after news broke of the third movie, The Devil Wears Prada star told People that it was "thrilling" to "see the level of excitement for it."

"We feel the exact same, and I know it's probably very frustrating," she said. "It's a process that requires patience, and so everybody should consider themselves a part of the movie business now, because this is how long it actually takes to make things."

Is Julie Andrews returning for Princess Diaries 3?

Like Hathaway, Andrews has also expressed interest in returning for a new movie. Speaking to BuzzFeed News in 2017, the Queen Clarisse Renaldi actress said that she "would very willingly and happily do" a third film. 

Before Princess Diaries 3 was confirmed, Hathaway told Entertainment Tonight, "If there's any way to get Julie Andrews involved, I think we would make it work. We would go to where she was and put a green screen behind her and just make it happen."

Who is in the Princess Diaries 3 cast?

While the cast for the potential movie has not yet been revealed, the first two Princess Diaries films starred Hathaway as Mia, who went from Princess to Queen of Genovia in the second movie, and Andrews as Mia's paternal grandmother, Clarisse Renaldi, the former Queen of Genovia. 

The original film and the sequel also starred Heather Matarazzo as Mia's best friend Lilly Moscovitz, Caroline Goodall as Mia's mom Helen Thermopolis and Héctor Elizondo as Joe, who married Andrews' character in the second movie. Chris Pine appeared in 2004's The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, playing Mia's eventual love interest, Nicholas Devereaux.

Following his death, Andrews revealed to Buzzfeed News that they "might do" the movie in honor of Marshall. She said, "Annie had an idea that she wanted to pursue about it, and I’m all for it, so if she’d like to."

Some hits take months of painstaking studio polish, but INXS proved that magic sometimes strikes in the most unexpected moments.

According to American Songwriter, while waiting on a cab outside a Hong Kong hotel, INXS keyboardist Andrew Farriss came up with an off-the-cuff guitar riff and begged the driver to wait while he recorded it. That burst of spontaneous genius became "Need You Tonight," a funk-infused new-wave track that sealed the Aussie band's place in rock royalty.

Farriss shared, "The making of [the LP Kick] was full of some very odd moments. I wrote the music to 'Need You Tonight' waiting for a cab to take me to the airport to fly out to Hong Kong [to meet bandmate Michael Hutchence]."

He added, "I arrived, played Michael the piece of music. Within 2 hours we had the finished track."

Farriss said that his songwriting sessions with Hutchence were impromptu. He believed that was the key to their success, along with band members Tim Farriss, Jon Farriss, Garry Beers, and Kirk Pengilly.

"We didn’t have a set formula – and that was the key," Farriss told the website. "Sometimes he'd add some lyrics he'd already written to a piece of music I had, sometimes we'd write together from scratch and other times I'd add music to lyric and melody ideas he'd come to me with."

He concluded, "We were just solid and very arrogant. We never second-guessed each other or ourselves and went with our instincts. It was all very natural and organic."

"Need You Tonight" blended into Hutchence's song, "Mediate." According to an interview with the band's engineer, David Nicholas, the now-iconic song just happened organically.

“Michael was more a performance kind of guy,” he explained. “With 'Mediate,' he walked in with a piece of paper and sang that whole vocal (which is a million words) in one take and went, ‘Thanks very much,’ then walked out."

Nicholas added, per Ultimate Classic Rock, that the idea to meld the two songs together into one tune was a burst of creativity. "I rewound his tape and hit play just as 'Need You Tonight' ended and it synced up so perfectly that I actually thought something was wrong," he explained. "It was one of those very spooky studio moments where you aren't sure what is happening."

The LP Kick would yield the band's first and only U.S. Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single. It drove the 1987 album to multi-platinum status and defined the sound of late-'80s pop-rock.

Along with "Need You Tonight," INXS would score six other Top 10 Billboard hits. These included "Devil Inside," "New Sensation," "What You Need," "Never Tear Us Apart," "Disappear," and "Suicide Blonde."

INXS lead singer Michael Hutchence died in 1997. He was 37. The band stayed together for 15 years after, officially breaking up in late 2012.

Few things can match the comfort of a warm buttermilk biscuit. Whether they're smothered in sausage gravy, piled high with crispy fried chicken, layered into a breakfast sandwich, or topped with juicy strawberries and whipped cream, they're one of those comforting staples that never seem to go out of style.

Laura from @costcohotfinds shared Costco's first-ever bakery find in an August 2 TikTok, and if you're a biscuit lover, this may be one of the warehouse's most exciting releases yet.

@costcohotfinds

Yes! Buttermilk biscuits, freshly made at Costco!

♬ original sound - CostcoHotFinds

Costco's new Southern style Buttermilk Biscuits (item #208379) are baked fresh in-house with real buttermilk and come 10 to a package for $6.99. Best served warm, they're arriving just in time for back-to-school breakfasts, easy lunches, comforting dinners, and simple late-summer desserts.

Laura says this is a first-ever offering from Costco's bakery and describes the biscuits as "buttery, fluffy, and taste just like homemade." Costco shoppers were quick to share their reactions.

"Failure to sell pints of sausage gravy next to those is an egregious oversight," one shopper joked.

Another commenter, @JustLisa, shared, "We bought some. They were very fresh."

And @Luis Hernández-Mendoza echoed what many viewers were probably thinking, writing, "Just as I was starting my healthy diet."

How To Serve Costco's Southern Style Buttermilk Biscuits

There are plenty of ways to enjoy Costco's new bakery biscuits beyond simply warming them with butter. Sausage gravy is an obvious choice, but they'd also make excellent breakfast sandwiches with eggs, bacon, and cheese, or a homemade version of Chick-fil-A's famous chicken biscuit using a fresh or leftover chicken cutlet.

They're just as versatile at dinner. Use them to top a homemade chicken pot pie, serve them alongside chili or fried chicken, or add them to any comfort-food meal.

For dessert, skip the traditional cake and turn them into an easy shortcake. Fresh strawberries are always a classic, but with peach season in full swing, they're just as delicious topped with sliced peaches, whipped cream, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

To see if they're in a store near you, use the item number 208379 and the Costco app to check availability.

If Laura's review is any indication, Costco's first-ever Southern style Buttermilk Biscuits may become one of the bakery's most popular new additions this year.

Happy Days was one of the funniest sitcoms of the 1970s. But once in a while, writers for the ABC hit would feature a serious storyline—and in January 1978, they delivered a doozy.

The episode, titled “Richie Almost Dies,” started as a funny segment about Richie Cunningham (Ron Howard) buying a motorcycle from Fonzie (Henry Winkler). But it ended in a hospital room with a heartbreaking heavenly plea after Richie suffered injuries from a serious crash.

The episode offered Winkler, a Yale Drama School graduate, a rare chance to do dramatic acting on Happy Days.

In one of the episode’s final scenes, Fonzie appears at a comatose Richie’s bedside and tells him he can’t die.

“You can't do this,” Fonzie says as he begins to break down. “A lot of people are counting on you... Mother, Father, Joanie, Ralph, Potsie... you can't go yet, you got a whole lifetime ahead of you... I need ya. You're my best friend. I know I've never said that before, but I'm saying that now. You are my best friend, and I don't want to lose you."

Fonzie’s emotional scene also includes a plea to God.

“Hey, Sir? We gotta have a little chat here,” he says as he looks above. “It's about my best friend Richie. He's in really bad shape. I know you know that, but the world's kinda goin' a little wacko, ya know? You need people down here like him, and if you don't, I do!   I can fix a lot of things, but this one's all yours, so let's make a little deal. You do this for me, and I'll owe ya one!”

Decades later, fans still talk about the Happy Days hospital scene on YouTube and on classic TV fan forums.

“What a fine actor Henry Winkler was, this was the first time you ever see Fonz cry,” one fan wrote in a comment on YouTube.

“Henry Winkler should have earned an Emmy for this episode,” another wrote.

“That was probably the best scene in all of Happy Days,” a third fan agreed.

“I remember the night this aired and was in tears along with Fonz,” added another.

In a 2009 interview with The Television Academy Foundation, series creator Garry Marshall described the episode as the “best” and “most emotional” of the series. He also revealed that the episode was written at the request of staffers at a Massachusetts children’s hospital.

The children, many of whom came from abusive homes, liked watching Fonzie on Happy Days “because he never cried,” so doctors approached Marshall about having the character show that it was okay to show emotion.

“They said, ‘It would be great if [Fonzie] could cry,’” Marshall recalled. “And we did an episode special for that. It was when Richie had an accident.”

Howard also spoke about the episode, telling  The Television Academy Foundation that he was glad that Winkler was able to showcase his dramatic acting background on the sitcom.

“By that point in the life of the series, the [Fonzie] character had gotten bigger and broader, and that's what the audience wanted,” Howard shared. “And Henry was capable of giving it …but the kind of emotion and honest emotion and in power that Henry, you know, I knew had to offer just was not on display very often. We didn't do much of that, and so you know I thought it was really good writing.”

“It wasn't a hard episode for me,” the Happy Days star added. “But what I was most pleased with was that it gave Henry a really great moment, and I thought it also was good because it shifted the tone of the show a little bit. … You know, at that point we were pretty broad and really reaching for the most fun that could be had, the biggest laughs we could generate. And to dial it back and, you know, deal with something like that that isn't funny and not play it for laughs was really a nice change. I think we all really loved that script.”

More than 50 years after "Richie Almost Dies" first aired, the episode remains a standout from Happy Days' long run, and a powerful reminder that amid the laughs and nostalgia was a show willing to explore deeply emotional moments.

Rosie O'Donnell is looking back on what went wrong during her second stint on The View, revealing she believes Whoopi Goldberg "felt encroached upon" as the pair struggled to find their rhythm at the Hot Topics table.

Speaking on The Tangle podcast ahead of her guest-hosting stint on Jimmy Kimmel Live, O'Donnell reflected on returning to The View in 2014 after her infamous 2007 exit. While she said she expected to work seamlessly alongside Goldberg, she recalled an early on-air misunderstanding that led to tension between them, though she emphasized the two have since moved past it and remain on good terms.

O'Donnell recalled having "a lovely lunch" at Goldberg's home before returning to the show, where they "talked about everything." But tension arose when O'Donnell "made the mistake of throwing to a commercial when [Whoopi] was still talking," which apparently made Goldberg "very upset."

“I thought I was going in safe and sound and it didn’t turn out that way from day one,” O'Donnell said. “I was just doing it the way that I knew how to do it. And it didn’t go so well, you know. So I didn’t want it to be awkward and go on there and make it awkward."

View this post on Instagram

She recounted, “But that’s not exactly what happened. And I think maybe she felt encroached upon in some way, and I was never trying to encroach." In fact, O'Donnell envisioned her partnership with Goldberg on the show like "Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan passing the ball back and forth and then shooting.”

Despite the misunderstanding, O'Donnell said she and Goldberg have moved on, noting they are both “grown-ass women” and that Goldberg is "a woman who supports women, as am I.” 

And while O'Donnell has been teasing a return to daytime talk, she won't be launching a new show until Donald Trump is out of office. “It would be when Trump is no longer in power," she said. "That’s when I would want to start. And that’s really when the healing must begin. The healing must begin in this country. And if I could be in any way part of that, I would be very, very happy.”

While standard back-to-school shopping usually involves picking up notebooks and backpacks, theme park fans can gear up for term time with a far more spellbinding tradition. Universal Orlando Resort has officially kicked off its annual "Back to Hogwarts" celebration, giving Harry Potter fans a month-long reason to pack their robes and head straight for the parks.

Running from August 1 through September 1, 2026, the limited-time event transforms the resort's Wizarding World lands into a season-long rally for Hogwarts house pride. Included with regular park admission, the festivities celebrate the iconic September 1 start of the school term while tying into the 25th anniversary of the Harry Potter film franchise.

Whether you're planning a trip to Universal Islands of Adventure or Universal Studios Florida, here is what is happening across the parks this August:

With the concerning news about recalls for lettuce salad greens, the idea of a salad with mixed greens tossed with a light dressing is not an option right now. How frustrating when a salad makes a simple and easy-to-make dish for warm-weather dining.

When the season calls for lighter menus and dining outside, one of my favorite meals to make is a salad with mixed greens and the seasonal produce that is bursting with freshness during the summer bounty at the market and in my garden. But the news about recalls for salad greens has understandably caused many of us to be hesitant about assembling a salad-as-a-meal plan for our family and friends.

If you have never made a "no greens" salad, now is the time to explore the delicious recipe ideas that put summer produce first and foremost on the plate and get creative with add-in ingredients and dressings for a salad that is both satisfying and delicious for a light lunch or dinner.

Brainstorming for salad ideas that don't use lettuce greens got a conversation going with my food friends who are cookbook authors and talented chefs. Take a look at this list of recipes that use ingredients like summer tomatoes, juicy fruit, fresh vegetables, creamy cheeses, crunchy nuts and vinaigrettes to see what we are making for summer salads with "no greens" right now.

Pickled Cherry Tomatoes

Makes: 24-ounce jar 

Prep Time: 15 mins 

Leave it to my friend Chadwick to come up with this creative way to pickle cherry tomatoes. These tasty little veggies are notorious for reseeding themselves and I usually end up with an abundance of them in and around my garden.

"My pickled cherry tomatoes are delicious tossed with grilled bread cut into bite-size pieces, almost like a panzanella. Dress it with good olive oil and a little of the pickling brine so the bread absorbs all that bright, tangy flavor. Toss in a few herbs from your garden."

To Make the Pickling Brine

• ¾ cup white balsamic vinegar
• ½ cup dry white wine
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup water
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon coriander seed
• 1 teaspoon fennel seed
• 1 teaspoon pink peppercorns
• 1 fresh bay leaf
• ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
•  ¼ teaspoon red chile flake
• 2 cloves garlic, halvedTo Make the Pickles
• 14 ounce container cherry tomatoes
• 1 celery rib, sliced in half lengthwise, and then into 3” sticks
• 2 slices of fennel bulb
• A few fennel fronds

Directions

1. Add the brine ingredients, except for the garlic, to a small saucepan and bring to a boil on medium-high heat. Using a wooden spoon, stir to fully dissolve the sugar. Turn the heat down to medium. Add the garlic and simmer for two more minutes.
2. While the brine comes to a boil, prepare the pickling ingredients. Pierce each tomato with a bamboo skewer through the center core and out through the other end. Place them along with the celery, fennel and fennel fronds in a clean and dry 24 oz wide-mouth glass jar. Use a butter knife or the handle of a kitchen spoon to maneuver placement and even distribution of the celery and fennel.
3. Pour the hot brine over the tomatoes – it should come to about 1” to the top of the jar. Tap the bottom of jar on the counter to help the ingredients settle. Let sit on the counter to cool down. Then seal tightly and refrigerate. The tomatoes should develop some flavor after two days of being refrigerated. The longer they sit, the more the flavor will develop. The pickled cherry tomatoes will keep for up to three weeks.

Some songs just get a second chance at magic. Back in 1967, The Young Rascals scored a hit with a soulful ballad, but it took five years and a red-hot teen idol to give the track a second chance at life and become part of an unforgettable musical legacy.

David Cassidy was the hottest teen idol of the 1970s. He rose to popularity with a starring role on the television series The Partridge Family, and his singing talents earned him spots on Billboard's Top 100.

Playing Keith Partridge on TV made David Cassidy a household name, but his true vocal talent came alive when producers let him step out on his own. In between shooting the series, he squeezed in solo recording sessions and hit the road, turning him into a legitimate, record-breaking superstar.

Cassidy first hit the Billboard charts as a solo artist with the Top 10 single "Cherish" in 1971, following it up with "Could It Be Forever" in early 1972. For his third release, he took on "How Can I Be Sure," the 1967 Young Rascals classic that peaked at No. 4, bringing his own cover to No. 25 on the U.S. charts.

The Young Rascals' Felix Cavaliere said he wrote the song about a young woman named Adrienne Buccheri, whom he called his muse. “She was very young, much younger than I was, and it was totally crazy. It culminated in ‘How Can I Be Sure,'" Cavaliere explained.

Cavaliere added, "I woke up one day and said, ‘What the hell am I doing? I’m going out with a kid.’ It was strange,” said Cavaliere. “She ended up marrying a very dear friend of mine, and they had a couple of children together, then unfortunately she passed."

Cavaliere's bandmate and "How Can I Be Sure" co-author, Eddie Brigati, added, “On that particular song, I got a block, and I was freaked out about not finishing it. My brother (David) put a bunch of different things in it, and he was never properly acknowledged for it.”

Although The Young Rascals' original charted higher, Cassidy's cover was just as timeless. As noted by Classic Bands, his solo success translated into record-shattering live shows, packing venues everywhere from New York's Madison Square Garden to London's Wembley Stadium.

In 1974, the actor and singer told the BBC of his success, "I wish every human being could walk out on stage and have that energy focused on you." He added, "It's an incredible high to walk out on stage and see 40,000 people, knowing they're all with you. That's something very few performers have experienced."

Cassidy would place two more hits on the Billboard charts as a solo artist. "Rock Me Baby" charted in the latter part of 1972, and "Lyin' to Myself" ranked in 1990.

David Cassidy died in 2017 at the age of 67. The Young Rascals' original founding members, Felix Cavaliere and Gene Cornish, are still performing live with dates scheduled through October.

Taco Bell has a sweet new treat on the menu and fans are wasting no time getting their hands on it.

On Thursday, July 31, the fast-food chain officially launched its new Dulce de Leche Cinnabon Delights at restaurants nationwide. The limited-time dessert gives Taco Bell's classic Cinnabon Delights a caramel-inspired twist, replacing the signature cream cheese frosting filling with rich dulce de leche.

Now, just days after the nationwide rollout, some fans say the new treat is already selling out at their local restaurants.

On Reddit, customers have reported nothing but deliciousness.

"That warm caramel is delicious," said one Redditor. "I kind of wish you could get both fillings inside."

Others compared them to the birthday churros Taco Bell offered previously.

The limited-time dessert is available in both two-pack and 12-pack orders while supplies last, though availability may vary by location.

What are Taco Bell's Dulce de Leche Cinnabon Delights?

The new menu item features warm doughnut-hole-style pastries coated in cinnamon sugar and filled with smooth dulce de leche instead of the chain's traditional cream cheese frosting.

The launch marks the latest collaboration between Taco Bell and Cinnabon, whose original Cinnabon Delights have been a menu staple for more than a decade.

How long will they be available?

Taco Bell has not announced an official end date for the Dulce de Leche Cinnabon Delights, meaning they'll likely remain on menus only while supplies last.

If early fan reactions are any indication, however, you may not want to wait too long before trying them.
