The flat shoe design features a round toe and traditional hook and loop closure that allows you to adjust the straps as needed. The sandals are nearly a closed toe shoe because of how much coverage the hollowed out straps provide, so, especially with the back heel strap, they should stay secure throughout the day.

’70s Rock Band Cancels Shows Amid 2026 Tour

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 9:12pm

Legendary rock band Cheap Trick has canceled four concerts and postponed three others during its ongoing 2026 North American tour, leaving fans across several states searching for answers.

The band announced the schedule changes through social media, stating that the affected dates were altered "due to circumstances beyond our control." No further explanation was provided.

According to the announcement, the four June concerts have been canceled outright. The affected shows include Friday in Catoosa, Oklahoma; Saturday in Norman, Oklahoma; June 20 in Standish, Michigan; and June 27 in Prior Lake, Minnesota. Fans who purchased tickets for those events can receive refunds at their original point of purchase.

In addition to the cancellations, three concerts have been moved to later dates. The June 21 show in Paw Paw, Michigan, has been rescheduled for Sept. 11. The June 25 concert in Aurora, Illinois, will now take place on Sept. 10. Meanwhile, the June 28 performance in Madison, Wisconsin, has been moved to Nov. 8.

— Cheap Trick (@cheaptrick) June 11, 2026 Cheap Trick Tour Changes Affect Seven June Dates

The tour adjustments impact a portion of the band's summer schedule following a series of appearances shared with Styx. While several June dates were removed from the calendar, most of the band's remaining tour plans remain unchanged.

The group still has several major performances scheduled throughout the summer and fall. Upcoming appearances include Rockin' the Fields of Minnedosa in Canada, a performance at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, and stops in California, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Utah, Kentucky and other locations.

Festival appearances remain on the band's itinerary, including the Northwest Art & Air Festival in Albany, Oregon, and Bourbon & Beyond 2026 in Louisville, Kentucky.

Fans seeking updated information on venues, ticket policies and future performances have been directed to the band's official website.

The tour supports Cheap Trick's 2025 studio album All Washed Up, which marked the band's first new release in four years. The album followed 2021's In Another World and continued the group's long-running recording career.

Formed in Rockford, Illinois, in 1973, Cheap Trick became one of rock music's most recognizable acts. The band's breakthrough arrived in the late 1970s with the success of At Budokan, the live album recorded in Tokyo, Japan. The release helped launch the group to international fame and produced the hit live version of "I Want You to Want Me."

Over more than five decades, Cheap Trick has sold over 20 million records and performed more than 5,000 concerts worldwide. Their catalog includes well-known songs such as "Surrender," "Dream Police," "The Flame" and "I Want You to Want Me."

In 2016, the band's legacy was recognized with induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Although the recent tour changes have disappointed some fans, Cheap Trick has indicated that the affected schedule adjustments are limited to the announced dates. The band continues to move forward with the remainder of its 2026 touring plans while honoring tickets for postponed performances and providing refunds for canceled events.

Why 'The Social Network' Star Flat-Out Refused to Return for Aaron Sorkin's Sequel

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 9:05pm

Jesse Eisenberg may have played Mark Zuckerberg in the 2010 film, The Social Network, but that doesn’t mean he’s a fan of the Facebook founder.

Earlier this week, Jeremy Strong appeared as Zuckerberg in the official trailer for The Social Reckoning. This upcoming film is a sequel and companion piece to the 2010 Academy Award-winning movie.

Aaron Sorkin, the screenwriter for The Social Network, will return as the writer and director. He recently spoke to Vanity Fair about the film.

The screenwriter admitted he spent three days trying to convince Eisenberg to reprise his role as Zuckerberg.

“I felt like it belonged to him, and he was certainly battle-tested,” Sorkin shared. “He simply did not want to be conflated with Mark Zuckerberg anymore, that he has his problems with the guy. He doesn’t like kids coming up to him in airports with business cards that say ‘I’m CEO, bitch’ for him to sign.”

Eisenberg previously spoke out about his dislike for Zuckerberg. Last year, the actor told BBC Radio 4 that he doesn’t follow the CEO’s life because “I don’t want to think of myself as associated with somebody like that.”

Adding, “It’s not like I played a great golfer or something and now people think I’m a great golfer,” he said. “It’s like this guy that’s doing things that are problematic — taking away fact-checking and safety concerns, making people who are already threatened in this world more threatened.”

Sorkin doesn’t have the same issue getting in Zuckerberg’s mind.

“I can’t judge Mark Zuckerberg while I’m writing it,” he told Vanity Fair. “You’ve got to write that character like they’re making their case to God why they should be allowed into heaven.”

The Social Reckoning stars Mikey Madison, Jeremy AllenWhite, Jeremy Strong, Billy Magnussen, and Betty Gilpin. It’s scheduled to hit the big screen on October 9.

57 Years Ago Today, '60s Legend Joined One of the 'Best Rock Bands’ of All Time

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 8:37pm

Mick Taylor took a decisive turn in his career after stepping into one of rock music’s most iconic lineups, The Rolling Stones.

Fifty-seven years ago today, the young guitar prodigy made a career-defining move that marked the beginning of cementing his name in history after becoming the official guitarist of the band fronted by Mick Jagger.

In the late 1960s, Taylor was part of the chart-topping blues rock outfit John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers alongside elite musicians such as John McVie, who would later become a co-founder of Fleetwood Mac, and drummer Keef Hartley.

However, in 1969, The Rolling Stones faced a major setback that left them desperately in need of a guitarist.

At the time, the band was forced to make bold changes as former member Brian Jones struggled with severe drug dependency.

Jagger reportedly sought John Mayall for a recommendation who, in turn, recommended the then-20-year-old Taylor as the ideal replacement.

During the audition, he impressed The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger and lead guitarist Keith Richards after playing "Live With Me."

“Live With Me was the very first track I ever played on,” Taylor recalled in an interview as cited by Louder Sound and described it as “special” since it was the very first song that he played with the new band.

“I remember [producer] Jimmy Miller jumping up and down in the control room and getting all excited about how good it sounded, having two guitars playing off each other. Because I think they’d missed that with Brian Jones in the two-year hiatus since their last live performance. The Stones actually hadn’t played together for a long time, so when I joined them it was like a new beginning. It was a new phase in their career, a new chapter,” he added.

Lo and behold, The Rolling Stones didn't let go of their newly discovered talent and held a press conference at Hyde Park, London, on June 13, 1969, to officially introduce Taylor as their newest member.

To celebrate the moment and pay tribute to Jones, who passed away days before the event, the chart-topping band staged a free concert attended by an estimated 250,000 people.

This also marked Taylor’s first live performance with one of the greatest rock bands, The Rolling Stones.

View this post on Instagram

After five years of jaw-dropping performances, acclaimed recordings and his massive contribution to the band’s music, Taylor left The Rolling Stones in 1974.

Despite enjoying his time with the group, he ultimately decided to depart due to personal issues and a growing drug addiction that had begun to take a toll on his health.

"We were all a lot younger then and you’d try different things,” he mentioned in an interview, as reported by Louder Sound. “Some people ended up falling by the wayside, some people would try things once or twice and others simply faded away. But I don’t blame the Rolling Stones for my own personal problems.”

Target’s ‘Beautiful’ $90 Slatted Storage Cabinet Is a 'Stylish' Way to Tackle Clutter in Any Room

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 8:30pm

Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.

Even the best organizational systems can be undone with the rumblings of day-to-day life. Mail gets set down on the sideboard, small items pile up on counters, and laundry gets shifted from chair to bench without ever making its way into a dresser. What starts as a quick drop-off spot or temporary landing zone gradually becomes part of the space’s landscape. And once that happens, surface-level tidying stops being enough: What you need now is a permanent home. 

That’s exactly where a piece like the Best Choice Products 2-Door Slatted Storage Cabinet at Target comes in. Spacious on the inside and “stylish” on the outside, according to shoppers, it gives those items an actual place to go. Even better, it’s currently on sale for 59% off, dropping the original $222 price tag down to $90.

The slatted design gives this cabinet a clean, modern look while adding subtle texture. Its natural wood grain pattern (available in four colors) is visible through the doors, which makes it feel more elevated. 

Made from engineered wood, the cabinet is supported by sturdy metal legs that help reinforce stability without adding visual bulk. Measuring 31.5 inches long, 15 inches wide, and 32.5 inches high, the overall silhouette is compact enough to fit into tighter spaces like hallways or entryways, but still substantial enough to anchor a larger room like a living area or dining space. It’s also designed with flexibility in mind; multiple units can be connected for a more seamless, built-in look, or used individually depending on how much storage a room requires and how you want the layout to feel.

Functionally, it’s built around three tiers of storage that let you choose what to show, what to hide, and how to organize smaller items inside. A wide top surface provides extra display or drop space, while the interior includes a fixed shelf and a lower shelf that together support up to 165 pounds of home decor, essentials, and daily-use items. 

The elevated base is broom and robo-vac friendly, making it easy to clean underneath without moving the piece, while adjustable non-slip foot caps help keep it steady across different floor types. Soft-close hinges complete the design, reducing noise and preventing doors from slamming shut on fingers.

Shoppers couldn’t get over how “beautiful” and “well-built” this storage solution was for its “affordable” price point. “It came together so easily and looks spectacular in my room,” one shopper wrote, adding, “It’s very sturdy, and the doors have soft-close hinges, which was a nice surprise.”

1987 One-Hit Wonder, Written When Singer Was Half-Asleep, Took Nearly a Year to Hit No. 1

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 8:24pm

There was definitely no shortage of catchy songs on the radio during the late '80s, but one of the absolute catchiest was without a doubt Terence Trent D'Arby's "Wishing Well" (as anyone who's walked around with that whistling hook stuck their head can tell you).

Released in June 1987 as the second single from D'Arby's debut album, Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby, the song was an enormous hit...but not at first. In fact, "Wishing Well" didn't make it all the way to the very top of the Billboard Hot 100 until nearly a year later, on May 7, 1988, after months of radio and MTV airplay.

D'Arby's somewhat overconfident style of self-promotion no doubt helped to send "Wishing Well" to the top of the charts, too. As Stereogum reported, the young singer called his first record "the most brilliant debut album from any artist this decade."

By the next year, D'Arby was backpedaling a bit on his earlier claims.

"I was joking," he told the Los Angeles Times. "I was making fun of the image I had built up, the whole arrogance thing... A lot of it was what I truly believed, but a lot of it was exaggerated to make a point. You have to hit people over the head to make them notice, and I did it. I know how to play the game."

Considering D'Arby's rock star-style swagger, it's no surprise he slipped a Rolling Stones reference into his biggest hit. "Wishing Well" features a shout-out to the classic song "Midnight Rambler" in one verse:

Hugging like a monkey see, monkey do
Right beside a riverboat gambler, hahaha
Erotic images float through my head
Say you wanna be a midnight rambler
(I wanna be a midnight rambler)

As many have pointed out over the years, "Wishing Well" doesn't make a tremendous amount of sense, lyrically, but maybe that's because D'Arby wrote it when he was "in a half-asleep, half-awake state of mind," as he was quoted as saying in The Billboard Book of Number One Hits.

Of course, a song doesn't have to make sense to be a hit. And even though D'Arby now goes by the name Sananda Maitreya, all these years later, fans say he still sounds incredible singing those nonsensical words.

1981 Arena Rock Classic, Ranked Among 'Greatest Songs of the '80s,' Became an Instantly Recognizable Party Anthem

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 8:18pm

For most people, the weekend can't come fast enough...and it always goes by way too quickly. That's why Loverboy's "Working for the Weekend" is one of those '80s songs that's just as anthemic as ever, nearly half a century later.

“It's totally a party song, there’s no question about it,” Loverboy guitarist Paul Dean told Guitar Player in 2023.

Released as the lead single from Loverboy's 1981 studio album Get Lucky, "Working for the Weekend" peaked at #2 on Billboard's Rock Top Tracks chart in February of 1982 (and #29 on the Billboard Hot 100). But according to Dean, he knew the song would be a success long before it hit the charts.

“It became clear to me that we were onto something when we played it at this pub in Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island,” Dean said. “It was a meat-market type of atmosphere, where nobody cared about the music; they were more interested in hooking up with each other."

"We played our first two sets, all-original stuff, and people were talking and drinking, paying little attention to the band," he continued. "But when we opened the third set with 'Working for the Weekend' the dance floor was packed by the end of the intro.” 

Though "Working for the Weekend" was written mostly by Dean, he credited lead singer Mike Reno with the song's catchy title.

"That one was originally, 'Everybody's Waiting for the Weekend,'" Dean told Songfacts in a 2012 interview.

"I was walking down close to where I was living," he continued. "It was a Wednesday afternoon, beautiful afternoon, and I'm walking in this heavily populated area, and it was deserted. Everybody was at work. And me being the musician, I'm out working and my work is, okay, what am I going to do for inspiration and where can I find it? So I'm out on the beach and wondering, 'Where is everybody? Well, I guess they're all waiting for the weekend.'"

"So that experience spurred that," Dean added. "And Mike had the great idea of, 'Why don't we call it, Working for the Weekend?' and I said, 'Yeah, that's good. That's fine.' Not a huge difference, still works, it's kind of cool, it's quirky with a little bit of a twist on the lyrics, so yeah, let's go."

Over the years, "Working for the Weekend" has continued to resonate with new listeners, thanks in part to movies and TV shows like Zoolander, Saturday Night Live and Family Guy.

“It’s unbelievable how it keeps getting placed in movies and TV shows and how it’s held up...our song 'Turn Me Loose' gets a lot of soundtrack stuff too, but nothing like 'Working for the Weekend.' It’s a pretty cool one-two punch.”

Indeed. VH1 even included "Working for the Weekend" on a list of the "100 Greatest Songs of the '80s" (at #100).

Meghan Markle Hilariously Shuts Down Prince Harry Cheating Rumors Before They Started

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 8:07pm

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is no stranger to how the rumor mill works, so after sharing some adorable photos on Instagram, she was quick to shut down any possible rumors about Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, before they even began.

On her official Instagram account, Meghan shared two photos to her story. The first shows a friend holding a baby with red hair, with the caption "Love you" and Kelly McKee Zajfen's Instagram page tagged. In the second picture, Meghan is holding the baby, this time with a caption reading, "We know I love a redhead. And let me stop you before they start, no it's not his baby 😂."

Although Prince Harry is not directly named in the post, the implications are clear (especially given the reference to redheads): The Duchess of Sussex doesn't want these images turning into a story that Prince Harry secretly has another baby.

The post was clearly made in good fun, although it would also make sense if it wasn't entirely a joke. Meghan and Harry have both been outspoken about their experiences with the media, be it their lawsuits with various outlets over the last several years or the comments that the couple made about the press during their Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan.

Specifically in terms of the latter, the Sussexes have described a range of experiences over the years, from Meghan sharing that various family members had been offered money to speak about her to the couple recalling some vicious headlines while they were still living in the United Kingdom, particularly when Meghan was pregnant.

Of course, even outside of the press, the internet is the perfect place for rumors to run wild, and it's possible that was on Meghan's mind as well.

However, as the Duchess of Sussex made quite clear, there is no need for further speculation; the baby she is holding is just another adorable redhead—not a royal scandal.

’70s Rock Legends Perform Their 20-Minute Rock Epic for the First Time in Almost 30 Years

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 7:29pm

After over a decade away from the stage, the legendary rock band Rush is back on tour, and they surprised one lucky audience with a performance that hasn't been done in almost three decades.

On the second day of their Fifty Something Tour, which took place at the Kia Forum in California on June 9, fans got a special gift when Rush decided to play the entirety of the rock epic "2112," which is over 20 minutes long. The last time the band played "2112" in its entirety was on July 4, 1997, in Ottawa, Canada, as reported by Stereogum.

Plenty of fans in attendance at the legendary show shared videos of the band playing "2112," and it's clear that people everywhere were stunned yet excited.

In the comments of one fan's video, reactions included, "Never would have thought they would play the entire SIDE A of 2112 ever again. Speechless," and "They played the whole thing. Unbelievable. And it was amazing.70 is the new 30." There were also many comments praising the band's new drummer, Anika Nilles, who joined for the Fifty Something Tour in place of the late drumming legend, Neil Peart, who died in 2020.

While Rush hasn't performed "2112" all at once in 29 years, they have played parts of the iconic song many times. Along with the beloved track, Rush's second show of the tour also included other songs they haven't performed in many years, including "Leave That Thing Alone," "Witch Hunt," "The Analog Kid," and more.

For fans jealous of those in the audience at the Los Angeles show, Rush will be touring throughout the rest of 2026 and well into 2027, and with any luck, this won't be the last time the band does the entire "2112" suite. The rest of Rush's 2026 dates of the Fifty Something Tour will be across North America. Starting in mid-January 2027, they will travel to South America before going across the pond to Europe.

Tiger Woods Appears to Leave Rehab as Airport Photos Surface in Florida

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 7:24pm

It looks like Tiger Woodsalmost three-month stay in rehab is over. Page Six recently reported that the pro golfer has checked out of the rehabilitation center in Switzerland and flown back to the U.S.

Per Page Six, Woods boarded a private plane in Switzerland and was caught on camera after landing at a private airport in Jupiter, Florida. 

View this post on Instagram

Sources had previously revealed that Woods would stay in the Swiss center through the end of June. But on Thursday (June 11), a post from ‘NUCLR GOLF’ on X reported, “Tiger Woods time in rehab may be nearing an end as the 15-time Major winner’s private jet landed in Switzerland to presumably bring him home.”

This isn’t the first time Tiger has returned home since he started rehab. The celeb was spotted in Florida last month amid his girlfriendVanessa Trump’s cancer news. In May, a source told People(of his premature return home), “Tiger took his trip seriously and is all about continuing his recovery and putting this chapter behind him.” 

The source also spoke to People about Woods and Trump’s relationship, revealing, “Vanessa and Tiger are in love, still serious, and happy to see each other,” and that Vanessa “is eager to help him continue with his progress and move beyond any more public scandals.”

Woods also reportedly attended Vanessa’s daughter Kai Trump’s high school graduation on May 15. Vanessa shares Kai, 19, with her ex-husband, Donald Trump Jr.

Why did Tiger Woods go to rehab?

The five-time Masters champ went into rehab following a DUI arrest for his March 27 crash and rollover in Jupiter Island, Florida. While an on-scene breathalyzer test showed no alcohol, the 50-year-old refused a urine test. Police also found two hydrocodone pills in Woods' pocket. Woods entered a not guilty plea to DUI charges and submitted a request to leave the country for medical care.

Following these events, the PGA responded with a statement, rallying around the pro and posting on X, “The PGA of America stands in full support of Tiger Woods as he steps away to focus on his health and well-being. During this time, we are keeping Tiger in our thoughts and our prayers, with sincere hope for his strength, comfort, and recovery.” 

Even though he is back in the country, Woods will not compete at the upcoming U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills.

An unexpected kiss cam at a baseball game causes drama, while more questions are raised surrounding the legitimacy of E.J. DiMera’s (Dan Feuerriegel) magic drug, which is set to cause drama on Days of Our Lives.

The official Days of Our Lives YouTube channel posted a promo for the week of June 15, 2026.

The promo opened up with E.J. and Cat Greene (Annalynne McCord) watching the Chicago Cubs baseball game when the camera cuts to Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) kissing Belle Black (Martha Madison), shocking E.J.

NEW YORK CITY - DECEMBER 12: "One Angry Woman" Elsbeth finally makes it as a true New Yorker when she is summoned to jury duty and lands on a murder trial where she faces off with the unusually difficult Judge Milton Crawford (Michael Emerson) who will prove a formidable adversary, on the CBS original series ELSBETH, Thursday, Dec. 12 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs)*.

Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford) is shocked to learn that Juneteenth is Abe Carver (James Reynolds) and Paulina Price Carver's (Jackée Harry) wedding anniversary.

At the Brady pub, Theo Carver (Joseph Tyler Andrews) is messing with Stefano’s ‘gift’ to Marlena (Deidre Hall), a chess board, and uncovers a hidden key.

Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) and Chanel DiMera (Raven Bowens) embrace.

Cat asks her brother Mark Greene (Jonah Robinson) if there is a problem with EJ’s drug. Mark denies anything is wrong but questions why Cat would suspect there was.

At the Horton cabin, Tate Black (Leo Howard), Holly Jonas, Aaron Green (Louis Tomeo), and Arianna Horton (Vico Escorcia) are celebrating summer.

Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) reads an article about DiMera to Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey).

The promo then shows quick shots of E.J. confronting his sister Kristen Blake (Stacy Haiduk) and Holly passing out in Tate’s arms.

Fans React

Days of Our Lives fans quickly took to the comment section to share their reaction to all of the drama.

One fan wrote, “If Belle and Chad want to make EJ and Cat, that's fine, but they shouldn't get Thomas and Charlotte's hopes up if they aren't going to be in a serious relationship.”

A second fan shared, “Thrilling, oh boy, EJ knows what Kristen did.”

While a third fan questioned, “Why would you have someone who was a drug addict investigating anything to do with drugs? Dumb.”

Days of Our Lives streams weekdays on Peacock.

Tarek and Heather El Moussa Break Silence After Shocking Home Burglary

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 7:18pm

After a brief social media hiatus, Tarek and Heather El Moussa broke their silence, addressing the burglary at their home.

While the couple was on vacation, their Newport Beach home was burglarized. Police responded to a call Monday evening, and several high-value items were reportedly stolen, according to TMZ.

The couple shared a statement, writing:

"Our home has always been our sanctuary, the place where Tarek and I raise and protect our babies, love our family, and find peace. Having that space violated has been deeply unsettling, but we are profoundly grateful that our family is safe. While material things can be replaced, our hearts are broken over the irreplaceable family heirlooms and special memories that were taken from us. We are taking every precaution to protect our home moving forward, and we are grateful to law enforcement for their swift response and diligent work. Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support. Your kindness means more than we can say as we work to restore peace to our home."

Before TMZ's report, Heather posted a cryptic statement on Instagram, which Tarek shared. She wrote that they were “disgusted by some of the cruel, heartless people in the world. Tarek and I feel violated and to be honest really sad. Taking a break for a few days and will [be] back to explain soon. We are safe and the kids are safe.”

Tarek and Heather have been married for more than four years and share a son, Tristan. Tarek is also the father to two children, Taylor and Brayden, with his ex-wife, Christina Haack. Despite their divorce, Tarek and Christina have maintained an amicable relationship, even teaming up with Heather for the HGTV competition series The Flip Off. Meanwhile, Heather recently revealed that she will be returning to the Netflix reality series Selling Sunset.

Iconic ‘Today’ Movie Critic Gene Shalit Dies at 100

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 6:44pm

Legendary movie critic Gene Shalit died on Friday, June 12, at the age of 100. Shalit’s family told NBC News that he “passed away peacefully today after 100 years of an amazing life.” 

The native New Yorker was born on March 25, 1926. He moved to Newark, New Jersey, and, in 1932, to Morristown, New Jersey. Shalit began his decades-long career in journalism in Morristown, founding the grammar school’s first newspaper. He later wrote for the high school’s humor column. But that wasn’t his last stint in comedy. While attending the University of Illinois, the would-be future movie critic was the sports editor and humor columnist for The Daily Illini

Known for his iconic mustache and colorful bow ties, Shalit joined the Today Show as a part-time contributor in 1970. By 1973, he became a show staple, transitioning into a full-time on-air role. Prior to Today, Shalit was the senior film critic for Look Magazine and wrote the ‘What’s Happening’ page for Ladies Home Journal. Along with reviewing blockbusters on Today’s ‘Critic’s Corner,’ he also contributed articles to top publications, including TV Guide, Glamour, The New York Times, and McCall’s.

Even though Shalit was well-known as the ‘punny’ critic whose Today career spanned decades, he was also an accomplished musician. The bassoonist performed in Lincoln Center and with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Boston’s Symphony Hall and Tanglewood.

Shalit retired from Today in 2010 at the age of 85, after over 40 years on the air. In his usual candor, Shalit said of his retirement (via a statement released by his publicist), “It’s enough already.”

TheToday family celebrated Shalit’s 100th birthday last March with a mini-retrospective of his time on the show.Al Rokersaid, “Gene, a prominent presence here at Today for 41 years…He reviewed films, plays, books, so much more.” Also noting, “Gene could pull out from people so much that they would, to the point where Gene actually lost it, almost…Even Sophia Loren couldn’t resist putting her hands into Gene’s hair, you know? I mean just a legend.”

The iconic film reviewer was married to Nancy Lewis from 1950 until her death from cancer in 1978. They shared six children together: Willa, Amanda, Emily, Peter, Nevin, and Andrew. Daughter Emily passed away from cancer in 2012. Shalit is also survived by his five grandchildren. 

11 Years Ago Today, This '90s Rock Star Did the Unthinkable After Breaking His Leg On Stage

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 6:41pm

Dave Grohl has played plenty of memorable concerts over the years, but one show in Sweden tops his list.

During Foo Fighters'Friday, June 12 show at Strawberry Arena in Solna, Sweden, the frontman paused to reflect on one of the most memorable nights of the band's career: the day he fell off a stage, broke his leg, and came back later in the set to finish the show anyway (in the same country, by the way).

The original incident took place on June 12, 2015, during the second song of Foo Fighters' set at Gothenburg's Ullevi Stadium. While performing "Monkey Wrench," Grohl took a tumble off the stage, suffering a broken leg that would eventually derail several major tour plans, including the band's highly anticipated headline slot at Glastonbury.

But after briefly leaving the stage to receive medical attention and have his leg stabilized at the hospital, the rocker returned to perform the remainder of the concert. "Right now, I'm gonna go to the hospital. I'm gonna fix my leg. But then I'm gonna come back, and we're gonna play for you again," he said in a video of the incident.

Reflecting on the moment exactly 11 years later in a fan video shared to YouTube, the 57-year-old told the Swedish crowd, "I fell off the stage and I broke my f**king leg. That was 11 years ago today. Same day! How f**king weird is that. Coincidence? I don't think so!"

The musician went on to explain why that particular concert still holds a special place in his heart. "So, tonight," he continued, "I'm gonna sing this song real f**king hard, because honestly, I think it was my favorite Foo Fighters show we've ever had in our f**king lives. Because we kept playing, we finished that f**king show for you. So we'll sing this song for you." The group then broke into their hit “Walk.”

It’s been a particularly strong season for the band. Just last month, Foo Fighters took the stage at Welcome to Rockville in Florida, delivering a nostalgic set that included newer tracks from Your Favorite Toy. After weather delays threatened to derail the evening, Grohl thanked concertgoers for sticking around. "We played shows before where the weather f**ked it up, and everyone goes back to their cars and they wait it out," he told the crowd. "And I sit here, and I think about it, and I'm like, 'I wonder if they'll all come back,' …and I'm so f**king happy you guys came back."

That performance came shortly after Your Favorite Toy became the band's eighth No. 1 album on Billboard's Top Hard Rock Albums chart.

Oscar-Winner’s WWII Thriller Quietly Becomes the Must-See Movie of the Summer

Fri, 06/12/2026 - 6:37pm

Following his Oscar win for The Whale, Brendon Fraser’s career renaissance has only swelled. From Killers of the Flower Moon, to Rental Family, to now Pressure, the 57-year-old actor is killing the game. Not so much with blockbusters or bloated action flicks but with thoughtful, refined, and deftly handed cinema.

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

Pressure, the latest from Focus Features, is a drama thriller that homes in the fraught 72 hours before D-Day. Directed by Anthony Maras (Hotel Mumbai), the film stars Fraser as General Dwight D. Eisenhower opposite Andrew Scott (1984, Spectre) as Captain James Stagg, a Scottish meteorologist, and focuses on the high-stakes weather forecasting leading up to the invasion. 

“It’s the story of Andrew Scott’s character, standing in the stream like a boulder and knowing the future and that it is bad news, and he must convince immutable individuals, right if they ignore him, it’s at everyone’s peril,” Fraser told Variety, “and he is but a lowly nerdy biologist meteorologist, and as a non-commissioned officer, he was kicked upstairs.”

With the fate of the war on their shoulders, the two must decide whether to unleash history’s largest, most dangerous seaborne invasion — or delay and risk losing everything. Rounding out the cast are Kerry Condon, Damian Lewis, Chris Messina, and Tamsin Topolski.

Now released in theaters nationwide, the film is quietly becoming the sleeper hit of the season. According to Collider, Pressure is breathing down the necks of the war films that have come before it, challenging their numbers at the box office. 

“With $11 million in the bank, Pressure is poised to surpass the $14 million domestic haul of Nuremberg, starring Russell Crowe and Rami Malek,” the outlet writes. “In 10 days, the movie has quadrupled the domestic box-office haul of the 2016 WWII film Anthropoid, starring Cillian Murphy as one of the real-life Czech soldiers who executed an assassination plot against a high-ranking Nazi official.”

Holding strong at No. 9 in the domestic Top 10, Pressure is being mentioned in the same breath as current box office heavyweights like Scary Movie, Backrooms, and Masters of the Universe. The film also boasts a Rotten Tomatoes score of 86% from critics and a 95% from audiences. So, go ahead and book a ticket. Consider it mission orders.

Pressure is now playing at theaters nationwide.

The Live and Let Die actress said her home has changed with this new relationship. "We’ve been together three years now," she said. "And there’s nothing but music in my house. He’s a singer-songwriter. His son [Johnny Zambetti] is a singer-songwriter. My son [Johnny Keach] is a singer-songwriter."

Zambetti is a musician and works as an emergency room physician. He explained to PEOPLE that he picked an engagement ring with two main diamonds for a reason.

"I saw this one ring that really spoke to me," Zambetti said. "Because it had two stones in it. I mean, normally an engagement ring would be one stone, but I like the fact that it had two stones, and they had a little pavé path leading up to each stone."

He proposed to the Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman star on Valentine's Day in their Malibu home. Seymour said she had a feeling a proposal was coming.

Seymour has previously been married four times and has six kids. Zambetti was married for 43 years to Joan before she died. He has two children. The musician recently said on the Confessions at the Cabanapodcast that he feels his late wife helped him find love again.
