Congratulations are in order for Malcolm in the Middle star Jane Kaczmarek!

The longtime actress, 70, just revealed that she recently tied the knot with her childhood sweetheart, Rusty Long, after reconnecting during their 50th high school reunion. While the pair walked down the aisle last year, Kaczmarek is just now opening up about how the couple found their way back to one another.

In a new interview with People published on Friday (March 20), Kaczmarek explained that in 2024, she returned to her hometown for the big event and her best friend asked if she had an interest in seeing Long again.

Having been divorced from her first husband Bradley Whitford for over a decade, Kaczmarek agreed to meet up. During a dinner with a group of friends, she says her connection with Long was "just immediate." That night, they returned to Kaczmarek's parent's home and "went in the living room that hasn’t been redecorated since 1968 and just made out on the couch."

Over the next few months, the pair spent time reconnecting over the phone and Kaczmarek realized she "could not make up a better man" to be in her life. In February 2025, Long proposed while making a romantic toast at an event.

"Rusty said, 'I would like to toast to romance. I've been in love with Jane my entire life, and I want to ask her to marry me.' It was heaven," Kaczmarek recalled.

The pair made things official just a few months later, marrying in a July 2025 ceremony. Kaczmarek's three children from her previous marriage were in attendance, as well as Long's children from his first marriage.

Looking back, Kaczmarek has called the entire experience a "fairy tale." Congratulations to the happy couple!

Actor Natasha Lyonne took to X this week to give fans and well-wishers an update on her ongoing progress about three months after she revealed that she had relapsed in a years-long sobriety journey.

"Proud to report this kid is doing a whole lot better & back on her feet," Lyonne shares in her recent X post, and goes on to thank fans and recovery communities who have been supportive since she went public with her relapse.

But the most telling and promising part of her message follows, "Aiming to keep the journey somehow private, but look forward to sharing my experience, strength & hope as makes sense. My heart is with everyone ever going through it."

It's Lyonne's use of the words, "experience, strength and hope." This terminology evokes one of the foundational concepts used by many 12-step recovery programs. More specifically, it refers to the passage, "Our stories disclose in a general way what we used to be like (experience), what happened (strength), and what we are like now (hope)," from Chapter 5, "How It Works," of Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How Many Thousands of Men and Women Have Recovered from Alcoholism (aka, the Big Book). This book is commonly used in in programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

The idea here is that openly and honestly sharing true personal stories from when you were drinking or using, as well as those from one's own sobriety journey, helps everyone in the program rooms find relatability and inspiration. It feels incredibly important to see Lyonne staying aligned with this premise. Rooting for you, girl!

Here's Lyonne's full post on X:

Proud to report this kid is doing a whole lot better & back on her feet. Want to thank our recovery communities & the fans who stood by & were so supportive. Aiming to keep the journey somehow private, but look forward to sharing my experience, strength & hope as makes sense. My…

Since Lyonne's Peacock series Poker Face, which she helped direct and produce, was canceled in late 2025, she's been working on more directing and producing projects. She also joined the cast of the Marvel Studios movie The Fantastic Four: First Steps and will also appear in the third season of the HBO series Euphoria.

Taylor Frankie Paul has temporarily lost custody of her son with Dakota Mortensen amid an ongoing domestic assault investigation.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Mortensen was granted a temporary protective order against Paul and was awarded temporary custody of their son Ever, who turned 2 on Thursday, Mar. 19.

Mortensen will have custody of Ever until at least Apr. 7, when they have their next court date.

Per the order, Paul is not allowed to have any contact with Mortensen and must stay “100 feet” away from him and his home until the hearing.

Paul also has joint custody of her two older children with her ex-husband Tate Paul.

Earlier this week, a spokesperson for the Draper City Police Department confirmed that there is an open “domestic assault investigation” regarding Paul and Mortensen.

The spokesperson confirmed “allegations have been made in both directions” and “contact was made with involved parties on [Feb] 24th and 25th,” but declined to share any further details.

Mortensen filed for a protective order in Utah on Tuesday, Mar. 17. In his filing, he detailed incidents that he claims occurred on Feb. 23 and 24 of 2026.

The filing also referenced Paul’s past arrest. In 2023, Paul was arrested for alleged domestic violence following an argument with Mortensen. She was given misdemeanor charges of assault, criminal mischief, and commission of domestic violence in the presence of a child, after she was accused of throwing a chair at Mortensen that hit her daughter.

Paul ultimately pleaded guilty to a single charge of aggravated assault, and the domestic violence charges were dismissed as part of the plea deal. She is currently serving a 3-year probation.

TMZ obtained photos of Mortensen at an Utah courthouse on Mar. 17 alongside Paul’s ex-husband. The outlet reports that the two happened to run into each other while they were both there to obtain separate protective orders against Paul.

Paul’s season of The Bachelorette was also canceled on Mar. 19 after a video of the 2023 domestic violence incident with Mortensen was released online.

If you or someone you know has been a victim of domestic violence, help is available 24 hours a day through the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233.

Real Housewife of New Jersey Melissa Gorga is one proud mommy. The reality TV star recently took to Instagram, posting pics from her son Gino’s wrestling tournament. But it wasn’t just any tournament. According to the Gorgas, their 18-year-old was competing in the state championships! And as any sports parent knows, that’s pretty much the pinnacle of competition.

View this post on Instagram Why did 'RHONJ' Melissa Gorga post about her son?

This isn’t the first time the Bravolebrity has posted about her son’s absolutely amazing athletic accomplishments. Last January, Gorga and hubby Joe congratulated their eldest son on placing first in Bergen County (wrestling). Along with a carousel of video clips and photos of the high school senior, Melissa wrote, “Gino! Bergen County WINNER 1st place 175 lbs. Beyond proud of you!! You have heart and it’s all about heart! You want it and you work for it!” She went on to give her kiddo props for his dedication to the sport, “You train hard, up in the morning before I am jogging! That’s why I love watching you since you were a little boy working hard to be an athlete!”

In the recent post, the Gorgas continued showering their wrestler with well-deserved praise, “Watching our son wrestle here in the State championships fills me with more pride than I can put into words. Winning or losing doesn’t define this moment—the fact that he worked hard enough, sacrificed enough and believed in himself enough to make it this far is what truly matters.” 

View this post on Instagram

The overjoyed reality TV celebs also explained how the sport has helped their son, “Wrestling builds something different in a person. Discipline. Grit. Heart…If you’re an employer reading a resume one day and you see the word wrestler on it, pay attention. That person already knows how to work hard, overcome adversity, and never quit.”

What do we know about the reality TV couple’s kids?

Eighteen-year-old Gino is a high school senior and (obviously) top-notch wrestler. But he isn’t the Gorga’s only child. All three of the couple’s kids have made brief appearances on Bravo's Real Housewives of New Jersey. Melissa’s oldest child is Antonia, a student at the University of Delaware, and her youngest is Joey Jr. (15), a high school sophomore. 

Does Melissa Gorga’s son play other sports?

Yes! While it’s clear that wrestling is a priority, Gino is also a star football player. Several months ago, Melissa posted a childhood photo of her son holding a football helmet on Instagram with the words, “This was his very first day of football. He was so excited to get his equipment. He was just six years old. Today he is a senior and is going to the state championship.”

Congrats go out to these proud parents and the whole Gorga clan! 

One of the most important aspects of any wedding is a good DJ and playlist to get the party started. Actor Zendaya revealed one R&B classic that gets her on the dance floor at any wedding, no matter what, and was a No. 1 hit track in 1995.

With Zendaya and Tom Holland's possible nuptial rumors circulating online, and her newest film, The Drama, alongside Robert Pattinson, the actor dives headfirst into wedding content. She told People that one Montell Jordan song is "guaranteed" to be a wedding dance floor success.

"I always say that 'This Is How We Do It' [by Montell Jordan] always gets people going," Zendaya revealed. "As soon as everybody hears [it], everybody's up. It works every time."

The actor's pick just so happens to be an R&B favorite with Jordan having released the lead single as part of his debut album of the same name in the mid '90s. "This Is How We Do It" was also Def Jam Recordings' first R&B release for the record label and ultimately became Jordan's signature song.

According to reports on the song's creation, it was inspired by the party culture in South Central Los Angeles at the time. Some fans may find the track's beat familiar, seeing as it features an enhanced Teddy Riley drum pattern sampling Slick Rick’s 1989 song “Children’s Story.” Critics called the track an “unavoidable” hit thanks to its seamless blend of infectious beats, catchy vocals, and sharp, confident rapping that helped it dominate the airwaves.

"This Is How We Do It" ended up reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts a month after its release, and overtook Madonna's "Take a Bow." The song retained its ranking for seven straight weeks and entered the R&B singles chart. It became certified Platinum and led Jordan to be nominated for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance at the 38th Annual Grammy Awards. Besides the single, its accompanying music video also got recognition and was nominated for Dance Video and Best R&B Video at the MTV Video Music Awards.

The track very well may be on every couple's wedding playlist, with Zendaya saying music is what leads to a successful wedding, "Because, I don't know, it's like dance is a universal language and people need music to set the vibe, to get the vibes going, get the party started. So good music.”

There are three things guaranteed in the world today: Death, taxes, and Jeopardy! being on. Believe it or not, the iconic game show has been on the air for over 60 years (though the modern incarnation we know and love technically debuted in 1984). Under the watchful eye of Ken Jennings (who himself was a record-breaking champion), Jeopardy! puts three people's trivia skills and reflexes to the ultimate test. And so many of the greats to grace those podiums started by simply watching the show as it aired on weekdays, as millions have done for over half a century.

Here's a spoiler-filled recap of who won Jeopardy! today, plus the answer to Final Jeopardy.

What was Final Jeopardy today?

Final Jeopardy today was in the category "Jargon."

The clue: Former NFL QB Joe Theismann once joked that he shouted this word over 10,000 times, but had no idea what it meant.

The answer: What is "hut"?

In a repeat of yesterday's performance, Jamie fell behind for the majority of the game, with David taking the lead. The reigning champ came back at the last Daily Double, though, going into Final Jeopardy $4,000 ahead of David. Both Jamie and David got the final answer correct, but Jamie bid over $11,000 to cement the win. He took home $30,401, bringing his total winnings so far to $162,203.

Musician Cruz Beckham, 21—and son to David BeckhamandVictoria Beckham—recently posted a video of his band Cruz Beckham & The Breakers performing a new song titled "Loneliest Boy." The song lyrics appear to be taking a pointed jab at Brooklyn Beckham, 27, Cruz's estranged older brother and David and Victoria's oldest son as the family's ongoing beef continues.

Brooklyn Beckham has been estranged from his parents at least since January 2026, when he launched a series of public Instagram posts accusing his mom and dad of trying to control him, prioritizing the family's public image over personal relations, and trying to get in the way of his marriage to wife Nicola Peltz Beckham. Since then, there has been ongoing public fallout around the rift.

Related: Brooklyn Beckham Slams Victoria and David's 'Performative' Birthday Wishes

There are several lines in the new song that may be aimed at Brooklyn, particularly these:

• Loneliest boy, I hope that you're listening / Don't push all your friends away, when we're tryna show you love
• Loneliest boy, mama don't talk too much / It's breaking her heart / It shows in the small things that you don't do / I guess in the end that it's you, yourself, and you / Tell me how do you live, when you've got nobody to lose?

There are definitely some jabs made in these lyrics, but what's rising to the top feels more like pain and angst from one broken-hearted brother to another.

Here's the video Cruz shared from the performance:

Read the full lyrics to "Loneliest Boy" by Cruz Beckham & The Breakers:

[Verse 1]
Loneliest boy, place all your bets on him
To find something bad in somebody good, he always does
Loneliest boy, I hope that you're listening
Don't push all your friends away, when we're tryna show you love

[Chorus]
So tell me you're scared, and that you need someone to hold
'Cause you're in the room but really, does it even show?
But, why can't they see that you're a million miles away
They'll never know, when you look so close

[Verse 2]
Loneliest boy, mama don't talk too much
It's breaking hеr heart
It shows in the small things that you don't do
I guess in thе end that it's you, yourself, and you
Tell me how do you live, when you've got nobody to lose?

[Chorus]
So tell me you're scared, and that you need someone to hold
'Cause you're in the room but really, does it even show?
But, why can't they see that you're a million miles away
They'll never know, when you look so close

This whole ordeal seems heartbreaking and painful for everyone involved.

Chuck Norris left behind a wife and five adult children when he died on March 19, 2026.

The actor was first married for 30 years, then for nearly 30 more before his death.

His wife at the time of his passing was Gena O'Kelley, who shared his love of fitness, prayer and giving back—and his kids share his love of gis, geri and gedan barai.

"To us, wellness consists of many components such as time with loved ones, because personal well-being includes cultivating healthy relationships," she told NewBeauty in 2023. "Our children are also devoted martial artists so it’s nice that they get to experience that with their father. We believe that a family that trains together stays together. We also try to get a regular workout on our Total Gym because it is such an effective form of exercise." (Of course!)

Get to know the women who stole the Walker, Texas Ranger star's heart, as well as the children who say they hope to keep his butt-kicking legacy alive.

Who is Chuck Norris' wife?

At the time of his death, Norris was married to Gena O'Kelley.

The pair met in 1997 when Norris was on a date with someone else. He wrote in his memoir Against All Odds that she visited him on set the next day, and he invited her to dinner that night.

"I wanted to get to know Gena better, so I asked her to return to Dallas as soon as possible," he wrote (via PEOPLE). "She came back a couple of weeks later, and our friendship grew into a dating relationship. Before long, I felt myself falling head over heels in love."

(No word on what happened to the poor woman he was on that other date with.)

They married on Nov. 28, 1998.

O'Kelley is a former model and TV personality, with appearances in Walker, Texas Ranger and Total Gym infomercials (who'd have thought?!).

She now serves as CEO of her and Norris' water bottling facility, CForce, and is co-founder with Norris of their Kickstart Kids foundation.

"One of our favorite shared passions that people often overlook is giving back to the community," she told NewBeauty in 2023. "We started Kickstart Kids, which is truly a fantastic organization that teaches martial arts and character development to students. We’ve reached more than 100,000 kids and the breakthroughs that we’ve seen mean the world to us."

What happened to Chuck Norris's wife?

According to Norris and O'Kelley, after an MRI scan in 2013, O'Kelley developed gadolinium poisoning, a reaction to a dye in the contrast agent injections used for many MRIs. She suffered kidney problems and rheumatoid arthritis after getting the injection, Hello! reported, and the couple spent $2 million trying to raise awareness of the condition and hold the drug companies who produce the contrast agent accountable. Norris had to take significant time away from Hollywood to be O'Kelley's caretaker until she was properly diagnosed and treated.

What is the age difference between Chuck Norris and his wife?

Norris was 23 years older than his second wife, O'Kelley. He and his first wife only had a one-year age difference.

How many times did Chuck Norris marry? Dianne Holechek and Chuck Norris in March 1981

Norris has been married twice.

His first wife, Dianne Holechek, was his high school sweetheart: They started dating when he was 16 and she was 15, and tied the knot in 1958—when he was 18 and she was 17!

They separated in 1988 and finalized their divorce in 1989.

He met O'Kelley eight years later and married her after dating her for about a year. They were together until his death in March 2026.

Does Chuck Norris have an illegitimate child?

That's a rude way to put it, but yes, he did have a child out of wedlock.

While Norris and Holechek were married and he was serving in the Air Force, he had an affair with a woman named Johanna—who didn't know he was married, so don't call her a homewrecker! Johanna had a daughter named Dina.

Norris only found out about Dina when she was 26 years old and wrote him a letter.

“I was going through my mail at home and I see this letter and I open it up,” he told Entertainment Tonight in 2004 (via the Daily Mail). “It’s from Dina, and she says, ‘I’m your daughter from a past experience,’ and she said, ‘I found out you were my father when I was 16, but my mother said you were married and we shouldn’t interfere with your family.' ”

Norris admitted he was reluctant to meet her at first, but is glad he did, because they have a close relationship now.

“I look at her and it’s so amazing," he said. "Because I’m looking at her, and she’s staring at me, and we just sort of gravitate toward each other, and we just went into each other’s arms and started crying."

Why did Chuck Norris leave his first wife?

Norris and Holechek never publicly stated the reason they split, but they remained amicable co-parents and friends throughout the rest of their respective lives post-divorce.

Is Chuck Norris' ex-wife still alive?

Sadly, Holechek died in December 2025. She was 85 years old and had battled dementia for years.

After her passing, Norris paid a sweet tribute to her, writing that Dianne was "an incredible person ... she was kind, intelligent and lived life to the fullest."

He also noted, "She was also a loving and devoted mother to our sons, Mike and Eric."

All of Norris's children are biologically his own.

He and Holechek shared sons Michael (born Oct. 4, 1962) and Eric (born May 20, 1965). He and O'Kelley are parents to twins Dakota Alan and Danilee Kelly, born Aug. 30, 2001. He is also father to Dina, born in 1964, through his affair during his marriage to Holechek.

Danilee paid tribute to Norris after his death, writing in part on Instagram, "I don’t think grief is a good enough word to describe the emotions my family and I are going through right now.. losing a parent is something that you are never prepared for. Before I take the much needed time for myself and my family, I wanted to dedicate this post to my sweet father and acknowledge the amazing man he is."

She continued, "My dad was my protector the moment I was born and as soon as he took me in his arms, I’ve been his little girl. That was something I would always acknowledge even when I was too big to be cradled properly ... My dad loved so deeply and cared for every single person in his life with so much tenderness."

After thanking God for giving her Norris as a father, she concluded her post, "Thank you, Dad, for supporting me in all my passions and for pushing me to not shy away from the impossible. Thank you for your constant compassion and for loving me so much that it’s made me learn to love myself. I promise I will always and forever try to make you proud even if you already reminded me every day that it was impossible not to. I love you forever."

Dakota, who followed in his father's footsteps in studying martial arts, also paid tribute to Norris, praising his generosity and courage.

"You lived your life with purpose and with love for all people," he wrote in part. "You were the greatest father God could have ever given me and the finest man I’ve ever known. No matter what I was going through, you were always there. You made sure I knew how much you loved me. Honest to God, I don’t think there was a single day that went by where you didn’t say it. I’m so proud to be your son. The memories we made, the lessons you taught me, and the constant laughs we shared will stay with me for the rest of my life."

View this post on Instagram

"Thank you for everything you gave to our family and for the example you set every day," Dakota ended his post. "I hope I can live a life that honors you and makes you proud. I love you, Dad. I’ll miss you forever."

How many grandchildren does Chuck Norris have?

At the time of his death, Norris had six grandchildren (and was expecting a seventh, as son Michael Norris' wife announced she was pregnant in January 2026).

Dame Jenni Murray, a longtime journalist and broadcaster for BBC, has died.

Murray, who presented BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour for more than 30 years, was just 75 years old.

"We are very sad to learn of the death of Dame Jenni Murray," her talent management firm Knight Ayton said in a statement to BBC on Friday, March 20. "We started representing Jenni in 2020 as she was leaving Woman's Hour after a long career at Radio 4. True to her spirit of fun, she surprised many by taking part in ITV's The Real Full Monty to great acclaim the same year. The announcement of her participation made front page news. Her reason for taking part was simple. To encourage more women to check for breast cancer."

While her cause of death remains unknown, Murray announced her breast cancer diagnosis in 2006.

Before her departure from BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour in 2020, Murray was recognized as the longest-serving host of the program after joining in 1987.

"This is incredibly sad news and our thoughts are with all of Dame Jenni’s family and friends. Dame Jenni was, simply put, a broadcasting icon," BBC director-general Tim Davie said. "Throughout her three groundbreaking decades on Woman’s Hour, Jenni created a safe space for her audience thanks to her warmth, intelligence and courage."

According to The Independent, "she was made a dame in 2011 in recognition of her contribution to broadcasting and was awarded an OBE in 1999."

Murray interviewed powerful figures throughout her career including Margaret Thatcher, Gloria Steinem, Bette Davis, Monica Lewinsky and Hillary Clinton.

"Jenni leaves an indelible legacy on generations of listeners. We are profoundly grateful for her outstanding contribution to Radio 4, and she will be deeply missed," director of BBC speech audio Mohit Bakaya said.

The 1990s were a decade chock full of innovation, experimentation and bombastic advertisements. The years that brought us classics like the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater video game series, the X Games, grungemusic and Friends were also responsible for famous food creations and even more famous food flops.

From major recalls that plagued businesses to lawsuits you'd never expect to win, the '90s saw its fair share of food scandals, innovation disasters and ahead-of-their-time creations. While some businesses managed to power through the negative press, others proved to be no match for the consequences of their mistakes, showing that the food industry can be very unforgiving, where big risks don't always pay off.

10 Food Scandals From the '90s You Forgot About

With '90s nostalgia securing a rent-free space in all of our minds, we've rounded up 10 food scandals from the decade that you may have never heard of or otherwise totally forgot about. Some brands stood the test of time despite their blunders, while others did everything in their power to capitalize on the wild‑west nature of product creation. Follow along to see which ones jog your memory most.

1. Jack in the Box—E. Coli (1993)

In 1993, a deadly E. coli outbreak was traced back to undercooked hamburger patties sold at Jack in the Box locations across several West Coast states. More than 700 people ended up getting sick after consuming the burgers, many of them children, which ultimately led to four unfortunate deaths. 

During their investigation, officials found the patties weren't consistently cooked to industry-safe temperatures, allowing the deadly bacteria to survive. The outbreak undoubtedly became a turning point for U.S. food safety, leading to stricter meat regulations and new nationwide monitoring systems that are still in place today.

2. McDonald's—Hot Coffee Lawsuit (1992) View this post on Instagram

Likely the first thing to come to mind when anyone is asked about famous fast-food lawsuits, the legendary 1992 case involving 79-year-old Stella Liebeck and McDonald's hot coffee is truly one for the books. After spilling McDonald's coffee in her lap, Liebeck suffered severe third-degree burns that required hospitalization, skin grafts and years of recovery.

To nobody's surprise, evidence at trial revealed that McDonald's had known for over a decade that its coffee could cause serious burns. From 1982 to 1992, more than 700 people suffered similar injuries, including severe burns to sensitive areas like the inner thighs and buttocks, sometimes even involving children and infants. One woman was reportedly burned when coffee was dropped into her lap through the service window, leaving her disabled for years.

Liebeck initially offered to settle for $20,000, but McDonald's refused. A jury later awarded her $200,000 in compensatory damages (reduced to $160,000 for partial fault) and $2.7 million in punitive damages, though the judge reduced the punitive damages, and the parties eventually reached a settlement out of court. McDonald's later lowered the temperature of its coffee by about 10 degrees to reduce the risk of severe burns.

3. Denny's—Discrimination Lawsuit (1994) View this post on Instagram

During the '90s, Denny's faced widespread allegations of racism, including claims that Black customers were asked to prepay for meals or even told to leave if too many Black patrons were present. To no one's surprise, thousands of complaints led to lawsuits, and the chain agreed to pay more than $54 million in settlements for over 4,300 claims.

As part of the settlement, Denny's implemented investigations and oversight measures, including sending in Black actors to test for discriminatory practices at various locations. Additionally, any remaining settlement funds were donated to civil rights nonprofits.

4. The Oprah Winfrey Show—Beef Lawsuit (1996) @90spodcast

In February 1998 Oprah was cleared in a lawsuit filed by Texas cattle ranchers who said comments by the talk show queen tanked beef prices. #90s #historyofthe90s #oprah

♬ original sound - History of the 90s

In 1996, vegetarian activist Howard Lyman appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and warned that U.S. beef could be at risk of spreading mad cow disease. And as we all know, when Oprah talks, everybody listens, and her declaration that she would never eat another hamburger didn't sit well with the cattle industry. Two lawsuits claimed her statements violated Texas law and somehow had actually harmed sales. Winfrey ultimately won the first case, and a federal judge dismissed the second, marking a victory for free speech and general consumer awareness.

5. Pepsi—Crystal Pepsi (1992) View this post on Instagram

Launched in 1992 as a clear cola marketed for its "pure" and caffeine‑free formula, Crystal Pepsi was supposed to be the next big thing in soft drinks. Instead, it famously flopped. Consumers didn't understand the lack of color, and many reported a strange, metallic taste that didn't live up to the hype. Sales tanked within months, and the product was discontinued in 1993, leaving Pepsi with a cautionary tale about how bold innovation can easily backfire.

Despite the failure, Crystal Pepsi became a symbol of '90s experimentation and over‑the‑top marketing. Its odd taste and visual novelty inspired pop culture jokes and nostalgic throwbacks, and it's even been brought back in limited runs years later, proving that a scandalous flop can sometimes make a comeback if the stars align just right.

6. Pepsi "Stuff" Jet Giveaway (1996)

In 1996, Pepsi launched its "Pepsi Stuff" loyalty program, letting customers collect points from purchases and redeem them for prizes. One commercial, however, showcased a Harrier fighter jet worth $33.8 million as the grand prize for seven million points. Naturally, Pepsi assumed no one would take the advertisement seriously, since it was more of a novelty than a real offer. That is, until John Leonard saw it and spotted a loophole.

Realizing he could buy Pepsi Points for 10 cents each, Leonard calculated he could technically claim the jet for $700,000, far less than its actual value. Pepsi insisted the offer was a joke, but Leonard called their bluff and took them to court. A judge ultimately ruled in Pepsi's favor, but not before the stunt turned Leonard into a living legend, cementing the promotion as one of the wildest marketing campaigns of the 90s and a classic cautionary tale about ambitious advertising.

7. Frito-Lay WOW! Chips—Olestra Controversy (1998)

In 1998, Frito‑Lay introduced WOW! Chips, marketed as a fat-free snack thanks to a new fat substitute called Olestra. At first, the snack gained traction quickly, but many consumers soon experienced digestive problems, including cramps, loose stools and diarrhea. The issue was found to be worsened by overconsumption, as people often ate entire bags in one sitting rather than the "snack-sized" portions tested in studies.

As complaints stacked up, Frito‑Lay's parent company, Procter & Gamble, had hoped Olestra would revolutionize snack foods and even planned an entire line of fat-free products as a result. But sales never lived up to expectations, and only a few other brands experimented with the ingredient. WOW! Chips were eventually rebranded as Ruffles Light and Doritos Light, and Olestra later found use in products like eco-friendly paints (shocking). Today, it remains in some foods, but it's no longer the industry-disrupting sensation creators had originally hoped for.

8. Wonder Ball—Choking Hazard (1997) @aubrey.janik

What happened to the Wonderball? #whathappened #wonderball #greenscreen

♬ original sound - Aubrey Janik

In the mid‑'90s, Nestlé introduced the Nestlé Magic Ball: a hollow chocolate ball with a small toy hidden inside. Meant to be cracked open into two halves like a surprise candy, consumer groups and competitors voiced concerns that the embedded toy could pose a choking hazard to young children. By 1997, pressure over worries that kids might swallow the toys eventually led to the product being pulled from U.S. shelves altogether.

Years later, the treat was reintroduced as Wonder Ball, but this time with candy inside instead of toys. The original version, however, serves as a memorable example of a well‑intentioned 90s novelty that became an unexpected scandal due to public safety concerns. Rightfully so, because who would want their child choking on something that's supposed to bring them joy?

9. Campbell's—Souper Combos (1990)

Keeping with the theme of '90s innovations, Campbell's tried its hand at instant meal mashups long before anyone else with the creation of Souper Combos, a microwaveable meal that combined soup in one compartment and a hot sandwich in another. With convenience as the driving factor in its creation, Souper Combos ultimately faced an execution problem. Each compartment heated differently, leaving eaters with unevenly cooked food, soggy bread or lukewarm soup.

With a product that didn't quite land with consumers, Campbell's quietly shelved it after a short run from the late '80s into the early '90s. Remembered more for its awkward packaging and inconsistent results, Souper Combos will likely strike a chord for many '90s kids as one of those forgotten food experiments that probably seemed great on paper and just missed the mark in execution.

10. Maxwell House—Pre-Brewed Coffee (1990)

savannahsimmons625 / Discontinued Foods!

A true example of a product being ahead of its time, when Maxwell House introduced "Brewed Ready-to-Drink" coffee to its lineup, fans did not know what to do with it. Sold in foil-lined cartons and designed to make your morning routine more convenient, the idea was to deliver fresh coffee flavor without the need to brew it at home. The problem? You couldn't microwave it because of the foil packaging, leaving consumers unsure whether it was meant to be consumed cold or heated after pouring.

Naturally, the product flopped faster than you can brew a pot at home, with only lackluster sales and confused fans left to scratch their heads. And while the idea of ready-to-drink coffee would eventually become enormous decades later, Maxwell House's first attempt served as a valuable lesson that good ideas need proper execution. 

Ahead of its time? Definitely. But honestly, it was a problem that could have been avoided in development, and if it had been, who knows what that might have done for the coffee scene with innovations so early in the game?

Sheriff Country has become a breakout hit for CBS in its first season, helping make Friday nights must-see for the network.

It may have started as part of Fire Country, but Sheriff Country has proven, after 12 episodes, that it can stand on its own. The CBS drama was missed while on its ten-week winter break.

Sadly, Sheriff Country fans are being dealt another blow with the CBS show. The series has entered another hiatus, so there will be no new episode airing on Friday, March 20.

There won’t even be a repeat episode for Sheriff Country fans to enjoy. The CBS network is being taken over by college basketball. Yes, it’s that time of year again when the network devotes all of its airtime to March Madness.

Sheriff Country won’t air new episodes until Friday, April 3. The good news is the night back is the major crossover with Fire Country, the first of its kind in the Fire Country universe.

When several teens go missing after a serious bus explosion, sisters Mickey (Morena Baccarin) and Sharon (Diane Farr) will work together with their teams to find the kids and solve the latest Edgewater crime.

The night kicks off with Sheriff Country Season 1 Episode 3 titled “The Finest.” A synopsis for the episode reads: “After a mysterious school bus explosion leaves nine students missing, Sheriff Mickey Fox and Cal Fire Division Chief Sharon Leone must set aside their personal conflicts and unite their departments to try and crack the case, on part one of the two-hour SHERIFF COUNTRY and FIRE COUNTRY cross over event.”

Fire Country will continue the epic crossover with Mickey, Boone (Matt Lauria), and Wes (W. Earl Brown) guest-starring on the show. The big event gives Sheriff Country fans something to look forward to amid yet another break for the show.

Those in need of a Sheriff Country fix can rewatch all Season 1 episodes on Paramount+.

Along with Baccarin, Lauria, and Brown, Sheriff Country also stars Christopher Gorham (Travis), Caroline Rhea (Gina), Michele Weaver (Cassidy), and Amanda Arcuri (Skye).

Sheriff Country airs Fridays at 8/7c on CBS.

A family is left to mourn after a dream vacation turned into a tragedy on Wednesday, when a freak accident took the life of a 61-year-old woman. The incident took place at the Swiss resort Engelberg-Titlis, when a gondola came loose from its cable, crashing down the snowy mountain side.

Those riding in nearby gondolas were rescued without incident, and now Swiss authorities are investigating to find out what went wrong. Here's what we know.

A #gondola at a popular #skiresort in the #SwissAlps broke loose from its cable and tumbled down a mountain, killing a 61-year-old woman. Other gondolas were evacuated, and operations on the mountain were suspended due to high winds.

The gondola cabin detached from the cable it was hanging from, according to Powder, which says that the woman was alone in the suspended structure at the time of the incident. Strong winds are being blamed for what happened, but both authorities and the company that owns the lift are still trying to piece together what happened.

According to Powder, the Titlis Bergbahnen gondola climbs the mountain in two different stages, which brings the cabin to an altitude of around 8,000 feet. While it's unclear what position it was in at the time of the incident, video taken at the time of the fall seem to show it tumbling down the mountain at a high speed.

Philadelphia's 6ABC News shared the footage on Facebook, noting that the other gondolas in the area were quicky evacuated and all operations on the mountain were suspended as a result of high winds.

Gondolas are Generally Considered Safe to Use

While the incident serves as a chilling reminder of how quickly a dream vacation can turn into a nightmare, Davide Guzzari, CEO of the Swiss company Exped Tribe GmbH says that these types of cabins are generally very safe and well maintained. In fact, he's even used these cable cars for some of his tours, and commended them on their quality.

"Cable cars are, in places like Switzerland, well controlled and to be considered safe in general, yet end users need to be aware of weather conditions proactively and to decide for themselves when operations are not safe anymore and wind gusts too strong," he said, adding that self awareness is key to keeping safe in any environment. As such, he suggests that people take some extra precautions before getting into one of these lifts, including:

• Avoiding gondolas during high winds, which he described as anything over 30 miles per hour
• Using weather apps like Windy, which he says "focuses on wind speeds and directions"
• Checking Google or Meteoblue to see if any wind hazards are expected during the day

While the investigation remains ongoing at this time, I can't imagine what the woman's family is going through. Additionally, my thoughts are with the first responders and those on the ground who ran to the woman's aid before they knew she had passed. What a sad situation for everyone involved.

Fire Country has kept fans glued to their TV screens this season, and that won’t end until the finale in May.

The show just returned three weeks ago after a two-month hiatus, giving fans a much-needed Fire Country fix.

Unfortunately, after three new episodes in a row, Fire Country is taking another break and it’s not so the network can air reruns.

It’s that time of year again when CBS preempts regularly scheduled programming for March Madness. The NCAA Division I men's basketball has once again taken over the network, which means no Fire Country on Friday, March 20.

In fact, it will be a couple of weeks before the hit drama returns. New episodes of Fire Country are back on Friday, April 3, and fans won’t want to miss the return episode.

Fire Country Season 4 Episode 13 is the second part of the crossover with Sheriff Country. That’s right, the two shows living in the same universe are finally having a major two-hour event, much like what has been done in the One Chicago universe for years.

A school bus explosion forces Sheriff Mickey (Morena Baccarin) and Division Chief Sharon Leone (Diane Farr) to bring their respective teams together to track down nine missing students and find out what caused the explosion.

The episode titled “The Bravest” picks up where Sheriff Country leaves off with Boone (Matt Lauria) and Bode (Max Thieriot) racing against the clock to find the missing students.

“With the clock ticking and the fate of nine missing students on the line, firefighter Bode Leone and Deputy Nathan Boone must risk it all in order to save innocent lives, in part two of the two-hour SHERIFF COUNTRY and FIRE COUNTRY cross over event,” reads the synopsis for Fire Country Season 4 Episode 13.

Along with Farr and Thieriot, Fire Country also stars Jules Latimer (Eve), Jordan Calloway (Jake), Kevin Alejandro (Manny), and Michael Trucco (Luke).

Taylor Frankie Paul's season of The Bachelorette has been axed by ABC after video surfaced of her domestic violence incident with ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, who is also the father of her youngest child, a son named Ever, 2.

"In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family," ABC told Parade in a statement.

But before Taylor was dating Dakota, which has been a recurring storyline throughout the first four seasons of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, she was married to a man named Tate Paul, with whom she shares her two older children.

Here’s what to know about Tate and his past relationship with Taylor.

Taylor Frankie Paul and Tate Paul married in November 2016.

The couple welcomed their first child together less than a year later when daughter Indy May was born in August 2017. Their second child, son Ocean, arrived in June 2020.

During that time, Taylor was building a large social media following as part of the Mormon influencer community known as “MomTok.”

They Divorced After the Viral MomTok Scandal

In 2022, Taylor announced during a TikTok livestream that she and Tate were divorcing.

During the livestream, she revealed that the couple had participated in what she described as “soft swinging” with other couples in their friend group.

According to Taylor, the arrangement allowed romantic interactions with other partners but not full sexual relationships. She later admitted she crossed one of those boundaries and developed feelings for another person, which contributed to the end of her marriage.

The revelation quickly went viral and helped spark the controversy that later inspired the Hulu reality series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

Unlike Taylor, who went on to star on reality television, Tate has largely stayed out of the spotlight since their divorce. He occasionally shares personal updates on social media and posts music remixes on platforms like SoundCloud and TikTok.

Since his split from Taylor, Tate has moved on and started a new family. He is now married to Bailey Paul, a Utah-based esthetician who specializes in beauty services such as lash lifts and brows.

The couple welcomed a daughter together in 2023, making Tate a father of three.

Below Zero Cooling Comforter, $39.99–$49.99 at Costco

Costco

Costco is selling a Below Zero Cooling Comforter in three different colorways—green (shown above), white and gray. You can choose from either a queen ($39.99) or king ($49.99) size, and the 90 percent nylon, 10 percent spandex jersey material is supposed to feel cool on your skin. Not ice cold, but gently cool. You could put a duvet cover over it if you want something with a print, but then you'd kind of lose that whole "cool to the touch" situation, unless you purchased a cooling cover as well.

It's important to note that you only get the comforter—there aren't any accompanying shams like you might find in a set.

While there aren't any reviews of the comforter on Costco.com yet, a quick search on Reddit shows customers love this bedding. Apparently, a similar version was in the warehouse club last year, then disappeared. One Redditor was inquiring whether Costco would restock seasonally after a pet mishap kinda, sorta destroyed hers.

"Last year I bought the Below Zero Cooling Comforter, my husband and i love it," she wrote. "Shortly after, we got a puppy and once he reached about five months he started jumping in the bed with his chews that absolutely destroyed it. Anyway, we're still using it even though it looks terrible (thankfully is not ripped, just the stitching is messed up) but i wanted to know if this was a yearly release? I would love a new one. thanks in advance!"

That's saying something if the couple was willing to keep using a slightly shredded comforter until they could find the same replacement. So here's to more restful—and slightly cooler—nights ahead.

Fans and celebrities alike are pulling out all the stops to pay tribute to beloved actor Chuck Norris after his heartbreaking death. One of those who took to social media to pay tribute was author Stephen King. The path King chose was one that Norris surely would have loved.

After learning of Norris' death, King took to the social media site X, formerly Twitter, to acknowledge the loss. In the first of several tweets, King went with a joke about Norris.

"My fave Chuck Norris joke: Chuck doesn't flush the toilet, he scares the s**t out of it," King wrote.

King's choice of what to post would probably seem strange to many. However, fans who loved Norris also likely knew he loved the ongoing string of jokes, initially dubbed "Chuck Norris Facts" that had become a definite "thing" over the years

In March, ESPN explained the joke. Apparently, it began in 2005 when a high school senior got creative with a website he had. He took an idea he found on the Something Awful forum and made it his own.

One thread he found was titled "Facts about Vin Diesel," and was really a thread of jokes that were "half-homage, half-goof" on the actor. The teen took the concept and ran with it, starting with Diesel and then asking for suggestions.

Somehow, Norris became the top suggestion.

Memes were just starting to take hold across the Internet, and soon, "Chuck Norris Facts" was pulling in tens of millions of website visits a month.

Eventually, the website led to an in-person meeting with Norris, and later, a book and a lawsuit. Ultimately, Norris, somewhat reluctantly, at first, embraced the trend and came to appreciate how it increased his star power.

In August 2023, Norris posted about the trend on his Facebook page. He wrote, "I get asked a lot if I like the 'Chuck Norris Facts' that circulate. The answer is yes... my wife Gena and I really enjoy them."

Now, more than 20 years later, the Norris jokes have taken on a life of their own. After King shared one on X, he followed up with another.

"Second fave: When he was born, Chuck Norris drove his mother home from the hospital," King tweeted.

Then, he posted a more sincere tribute to the iconic actor. "Seriously, I thought he was great. SILENT RAGE scared [the] hell out of my boys...and me."

Silent Rage was a movie starring Norris that was released in 1982.

Norris played a sheriff who "tries to stop the killing spree of a silent maniacal murderer who, as the result of secret genetic experimentation by an unethical scientist, has the ability to self-heal," the movie synopsis on IMDb describes.

When King, the author known for his horror stories, admits he was scared by a movie Norris starred in, that seems like a very special tribute indeed.
