In 1966, Buck Owens scored another in a string of many major success with one of the most memorable songs of his career.

His single "Waitin' in Your Welfare Line" climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles, further cementing Owens' status as one of the leading figures of country music in the 1960s.

Released during the height of Owens' chart dominance, the song blended emotional storytelling with the sharp, twangy sound that defined the Bakersfield style. Written by Owens himself, the lyrics tell the story of a man so heartbroken after losing a relationship that he jokes he might as well be "waiting in your welfare line."

By the mid-1960s, Owens had already become one of country music's most reliable hitmakers. Along with his band The Buckaroos, he helped pioneer the Bakersfield sound, a stripped-down, electric-guitar-driven alternative to the smoother Nashville productions that dominated country radio at the time.

"The Bakersfield Sound, I think, is a, it's a mix of Bob Wells and the Texas Playboys and Little Richard," Owens told NPR in 1989. "I liked music with a big beat, and I liked the driving sounds of the drums and the guitars."

The song's success added to an extraordinary run of hits for Owens. Throughout the 1960s he placed dozens of singles on the country charts, many of which reached No. 1, helping define the sound of the decade.

Owens' influence extended far beyond the charts. His energetic style and distinctive voice helped popularize the Bakersfield movement and paved the way for later generations of country artists who favored a more raw, guitar-forward approach to the genre. He was elected into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1996, despite the fact that he preferred to call his genre, "American music."

Today, more than half a century after it first reached the top of the charts, "Waitin' in Your Welfare Line" remains one of Buck Owens' enduring classics, a reminder of the era when his unmistakable sound dominated country music radio.

If there's one thing most TV shows over the years have had in common, it's the element of romance. Whether you're watching a sitcom or a drama or even a series about crime, chances are there's a love story in there somewhere...or at least some kind of ongoing flirtation, just to keep things interesting.

So when Entertainment Weekly ranked the "100 best TV romances of all time," the list included storylines from a variety of genres representing all different types of love affairs, from the toxic to the sweet to the unexpected. For example, coming in at #94 was the "working-class marriage" of Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor) and his wife Edith (Jean Stapleton) on All in the Family, which — while not particularly romantic most of the time — certainly illustrated lifelong marital devotion.

Other couples in the long-suffering marriage category included George and Weezy (Sherman Hemsley and Isabel Sanford) from The Jeffersons at #88, Bob and Emily Hartley (Bob Newhart and Suzanne Pleshette) on The Bob Newhart Show at #65, and, of course, Lucy and Ricky (Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz) on I Love Lucy at #6.

There were several iconic teen romances included in the list, too, from Mallory (Justine Bateman) and Nick (Scott Valentine) on Family Ties at #70 to Joey (Katie Holmes) and Pacey (Joshua Jackson) on Dawson's Creek at #20 to Dylan (Luke Perry) and Kelly (Jennie Garth) on Beverly Hills, 90210 at #11.

Some of TV's juiciest love triangles made the list, and more than one involved vampires; specifically, Sookie, Bill and Eric (Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer and Alexander Skarsgård) on True Blood at #44, Buffy, Angel and Spike (Sarah Michelle Gellar, David Boreanaz and James Marsters) on Buffy the Vampire Slayer at #30 and Elena, Damon, and Stefan (Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley) on The Vampire Diaries at #21.

The "will-they-or-won't-they" category was a popular one on the list, from Mulder and Scully (David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson) on The X-Files at #46 to Dave and Maddy (Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd) on Moonlighting at #32 to Sam and Diane (Ted Danson and Shelley Long) on Cheers at #3. The "they finally got together and lived happily ever after" genre was honored, too, with the likes of Jim and Pam (John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer) on The Officeat #33 to Ben and Leslie (Adam Scott and Leslie Knope) on Parks and Recreation at #13 to Chandler and Monica (Matthew Perry and Courteney Cox) on Friends.

Naturally, the tragic romance has always been another popular type of TV love story, which is why the list included couples like Glenn and Maggie (Steven Yeun and Lauren Cohan) on The Walking Dead at #67 to the pair ranked the number one best TV romance of all time: Sun and Jin (Yunjin Kim and Daniel Dae Kim) on Lost.

As Sydney Bucksbaum wrote, Sun and Jin "triumphed over the show's enduring 'live together, die alone' theme when Jin ultimately chose to drown with Sun — a tragic ending Yunjin calls controversial but 'beautiful.'"

"I'd never seen a relationship like that on television before: two nonwhite characters, speaking predominantly in a language that was not English, on primetime TV, and having that be something the average American could get behind and ship," Daniel told EW, adding, "Jin and Sun became the heart of Lost."

Stacy Haiduk is already making waves with her return as Patty Williams on The Young and the Restless.

The actress, 57, made her comeback during the Friday, March 6, episode of the CBS soap opera. With Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) stranded on a yacht and suspicious that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) is to blame for his apparent kidnapping, Jack was surprised to find Patty on board the boat when the episode ended. After all, it’s been nearly a decade since Haiduk’s last appearance as the obsessive character, who was believed to be receiving treatment in a mental health facility following her exit.

Shortly after her return aired on Friday, Haiduk opened up about what fans can expect from her new arc as Patty.

“She’s not going to be the same Patty that we’ve seen before. She’s grown up a bit, as have I. She’s a little bit more together, but you’ve got to keep your eye on her and see what she does,” she told Soap Opera Digest in an interview published on Friday. “Patty has some unfinished business that she needs to take care of and who knows who she’s gonna run into, right? It’s not going to be boring.”

As for how Patty factors into Jack’s kidnapping storyline, Haiduk teased that she is not working alone.

“Patty is going to bring a little excitement to the party. She gets to walk into town as a new woman—with new power behind her,” she hinted. “I’m really excited to be back, and I hope the fans are ready for Patty to wreak some havoc!”

While some viewers may be surprised to see Patty back on the show, Haiduk revealed that she didn’t expect her return either. She received the invitation in January after wrapping filming on her most recent Days of Our Lives run as Kristen DiMera.

“I was getting a little depressed because I was like, ‘Oh, I miss it, I want to be working,’ and blah, blah, blah,” she recalled. “But the beauty of it was that two weeks after, [Young and the Restless executive producer and head writer] Josh [Griffith] texted me unexpectedly and was like, ‘Are you available to come back as Patty?’ It was just perfect timing.”

Haiduk’s hiatus from The Young and the Restless has been lengthy, with her last stint ending in November 2016. However, she was always open to the idea of returning.

“Honestly, I had hoped through the years that it would come around again,” she said. “I missed Patty and missed playing her.”

In addition to her personal desire to reprise the role, Haiduk believed her character—who she first began playing in 2009—deserved more from her time on the show.

“I always felt that Patty never got her fair shot,” she explained. “I’m sure she did, but I don’t think she did, stuck in an insane asylum, you know? I’m just happy to be back in Genoa City. I know Patty is so thrilled, and so am I! Bringing her back is delicious is all I can say. It has a deliciousness to it, and I’m really, really looking forward to seeing where that goes for me as an actress and where Patty’s going to take it.”

Haiduk’s comeback also allowed her to reunite with Bergman, 72.

“I remember just walking into the makeup room and he came up and it felt like just yesterday that [we ’d last worked together]. I mean, it felt like I was just there with Peter and all the friendly faces at Y&R,” she recounted. “I just love Peter. He’s fabulous and I’m so excited to work with him again. I love working with him.”

Although becoming Patty again “was a process” for her, Haiduk is more than ready for her character’s next act.

“Getting into wardrobe and them picking the outfits for Patty, and then you go into hair and makeup and all of a sudden, the character starts coming back into your body again, and then running lines with Peter and seeing where that’s going,” she said. “But I know she’s in there; you kind of read it on a page and then it starts coming alive again once all the pieces are together on the set.”

The Young and the Restless airs weekdays on CBS.

Many fans have been hoping that news of a Bridesmaids sequel would accompany the 15th anniversary of the film's release. While it seems something is in the works, it's not exactly what some were expecting. Rumor has it that the cast will be reuniting at this year's Oscars on Sunday, March 15, Variety reported.

The reunion is said to feature Rose Byrne, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, and Melissa McCarthy. It's unclear if co-stars Ellie Kemper and Wendi McLendon-Covey will also be part of the group.

Bridesmaids grossed 306 million worldwide and earned McCarthy a supporting actress Oscar nomination. Wiig and Annie Mumolo, who co-wrote the script, also received a nomination for best original screenplay.

After Bridesmaids became a hit, a lot of chatter started as to whether there would be a sequel. In April 2025, director Paul Feig gave a vague answer to Collider.

"No. That'd be up to Kristen. I don't know," he said. "Call me crazy, I think some movies just are better off being one-offs."

"It doesn't mean it couldn't be great," he added.

McLendon-Covey appeared on the Dinner's On Me with Jesse Tyler Ferguson podcast, when the topic turned to Bridesmaids. Ferguson admitted that he thought a sequel would be made eventually, while the Reno 911! star remained optimistic.

"I have no information," she said. "In the realm of what is possible, you know, it could happen."

Despite all those clamoring for another film, in the end, the writer would have to want to do it. However, Wiig shot down the idea in 2024.

“It’s never been a conversation,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “That story had an end, and it’s so beloved to me for 10 million reasons, and I think it’s OK to just have it exist in the world as it is.”

Recently, Wiig and Byrne discussed the film, and Wiig admitted that one of the movie's most memorable moments wasn't originally in the script. In the scene, all of the characters except Byrne get sick with food poisoning while trying on wedding and bridesmaid dresses.

"We sort of embraced and like, okay, we'll write our version of this type of thing," Wiig explained to Vanity Fair. "And we just kind of made it our own. And it was like, we don't want to see any vomit."

"You can find a way to do your version of it," she added.

Mickey Rourkeand Robert De Niro have become Hollywood legends, making hit movies for decades.

However, one of their films, Angel Heart, flopped at the box office but later became a cult classic. Angel Heart was released 39 years ago today amid controversy and stiff competition at the box office.

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

In the movie, Rourke plays Harry Angel, a private investigator in the 1950s who is hired by Louis Cyphre (De Niro) to find missing singer Johnny Favorite. Things take a bizarre turn when literally everyone Angel interviews to help find Favorite ends up dead.

On his search for answers, Angel gets embroiled in the New Orleans world of black magic and voodoo. While uncovering new clues on his journey, Angel soon learns there is more to this investigation and Cyphre than he was initially led to believe.

Even before the film was released, there was controversy surrounding Angel Heart because of a very graphic sex scene between Lisa Bonet and Rourke.

At the time, Bonet was playing wholesome Denise on A Different World and The Cosby Show. Bill Cosby opposed Bonet being in the film because of the sex scene and was very vocal about his disapproval of her choice to be in it. However, it wasn’t the attention that Bonet brought to the film that caused it to flop at the box office.

Angel Heart was released the same weekend asLethal Weapon, starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. Other notable films in theaters that same weekend were A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and Platoon.

Despite a not-so-great box-office showing, the thriller has developed a cult following. Many fans acknowledge the 39th anniversary of the movie’s release on social media.

“Very good movie when Mickey Rourke was red hot . He is one of my favorites. He and Robert De Niro feuded in the filming process,” shared a fan on a Facebook post about the anniversary.

Another fan stated, “One of the 10 best films. Up there with Jaws,” while a different fan declared, “Excellent film, really spooked me at the time!”

Popular Canadian bodybuilder Jeff Nippard announced the heartbreaking news of his longtime fiancée Stephanie Buttermore's death on March 6.

"It is with profound sorrow that we share the sudden passing of Jeff's fiancée and partner of ten years, Stephanie," said the post on Instagram. Buttermore was just 36 when she died, and no cause of death has been shared.

View this post on Instagram

"As many of you know, Stephanie meant the world to Jeff," the statement continued. "She will be remembered for her warmth and compassion, her love for her family, and her PhD research on ovarian cancer." Nippard also asked for "privacy as we navigate this tragic loss" and thanked fans for their support.

Buttermore was a successful fitness influencer, with more than a million subscribers on YouTube and more than 500,000 followers on Instagram before quitting in 2024. She revealed in her last post, shared in May 2024, that while she missed her fans, she chose to leave because her anxiety became "crippling... to the point I felt I couldn’t breathe or leave my house." After a few months social-media free, she said her "mental health has been the best it’s ever been" and she was "way more present" in her life.

Fans still caught glimpses of Buttermore on Nippard's accounts, with the most recent being from just two weeks before her death. The photos shows the duo sitting on a couch cuddling, with the caption, "Relationshipmaxxing with tea time to lower cortisol levels." Buttermore commented, "Love you forever," on the post.

While comments were blocked on Nippard's statement, fans rushed to the last photo of them together to share their condolences. "A heavy heart for you today, thank you for all the parts of your world you so generously shared with us all, rest in peace queen, you are loved," said one, while another added, "I love you Jeff. I can’t imagine what you’re going through. Prayers for you."

Fans of the Nippard loved his sweet relationship with Buttermore, which began after the bodybuilder slid into the fitness influencer's DMs. "Our first date was a shoulder workout and I will never forget it," Nippard joked on Instagram. "We got along like best friends right away because we established a foundation of shared interests and values from the beginning."

The pair got engaged in October 2022. "Last month, I asked Steph to marry me and she said yes!" he wrote. "It’s been an amazing journey of growth and love. Can’t wait for the next chapter together."

Seven years after his last film, Quentin Tarantino is officially eyeing a return to the entertainment industry with his new project: a first-of-its-kind new stage show.

According to Variety, the 63-year-old Pulp Fiction director is moving ahead with an original play he's written for London's West End in the immediate future. The play is described as “old-fashioned British farce,” with comparisons made to the hit comedic play, Noises Off.

As per the publication, the play could potentially open next fall at the earliest. Although there is a chance the director might enlist the help of some of his numerous acting collaborators, the project could also draw from a group of younger or comparatively lesser-known performers to headline the show.

Previously, Tarantino has long maintained his desire to eventually enter the world of theater. If the project pans out successfully, it will mark the Reservoir Dogs filmmaker's first foray into the format, marking yet another medium the prolific director has ventured into in more recent years.

As most of his dedicated fans are sure to know, Tarantino's most recent film took the form of 2019's critically well-received comedy drama, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Set in 1960s Los Angeles, the film featured an all-star cast (Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie) and explored the transitional period of Golden Age Hollywood into the New Hollywood movement of the 1970s.

Over the past decade, Tarantino has also repeatedly affirmed his goal to direct a total of 10 movies before retiring from the film industry. While many viewers have wondered what exactly his tenth movie might be, Tarantino has remained busy pursuing other creative interests, writing a novelization of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood as well as a book of film criticism (Cinema Speculation).

He has also written the script for David Fincher's upcoming film, The Adventures of Cliff Booth, which will act as a spin-off sequel of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

The official Hunger GamesTikTok account has shared a never-before-seen deleted clip from the original Hunger Games trilogy in a new promo video.

The video begins with a deleted clip of Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman), presumably at the beginning of the second Hunger Games movie, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, retrieving a box labeled "75"—a reference to the 75th annual Hunger Games.

Those games, also referred to as the Third Quarter Quell, were the focus of Catching Fire and were the final games ever played.

This is how we remember: The 10th Hunger Games.

♬ original sound - The Hunger Games

Although this video comes ahead of the November 20, 2026, theatrical release of the upcoming new movie, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, it primarily focuses on the most recently released Hunger Games movie, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.

However, eagle-eyed viewers were quick to point out that a deeper meaning connected to Sunrise on the Reaping is heavily implied, as the video ends with a timeline showing the 10th annual Hunger Games (those depicted in The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes), the 50th Hunger Games (those in Sunrise on the Reaping) and then the 74th Hunger Games, which were the focus of the very first Hunger Games book and movie.

What has gotten fans particularly curious is that this new promo ends by stating that The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is "on digital now," but that movie has been available for digital purchase or rental since December 2023.

For that reason, some have begun to suspect that this could mean a new Hunger Games announcement coming soon. While that hasn't been confirmed, if it is the case, it would make the most sense for it to be a new trailer for Sunrise on the Reaping. So far, only a teaser trailer for the movie has been released, and fans are eagerly awaiting a longer, closer look at all that this new movie will entail.

A belated happy ending for Lily Collins! The 36-year-old Emily in Paris actress' beautiful rose-cut diamond from Charlie McDowell was stolen at a Los Angeles spa nearly three years ago, and now, in a surprising twist of fate, she's gotten it back!

"So grateful to [Hakimian Imports Chicago Jewelers] for helping recover my original engagement ring after it was stolen almost three years ago," Phil Collins' daughter wrote on her Instagram Stories on March 6 while showing off the sparkler in a smiling selfie. "Having this home means SO much to us. I'm still speechless it's back on my finger."

For his part, the jeweler took to his Stories to talk about the situation. "Guys this is true!" he said in the clip, calling it the "craziest story ever" and promising to share more about how he found it "later."

"Got her her ring back this week," he added. "I'm feeling the good karma, I'm happy! What a day... Lily and Charlie, love you guys!" In a separate photo, he revealed he even cleaned the beautiful gold bezel-set ring before mailing it back to her.

Collins got engaged to the director in September 2020, and the ring was extra special because McDowell designed it just for her. "It’s a rose-cut diamond. Charlie designed it with Irene [Neuwirth]," Collins shared on Live! With Kelly and Mark at the time. "I was very surprised by it, but it’s exactly what I would’ve wanted and he knew me so well, obviously."

Three years later it was stolen, along with other belongings, while she was at the spa in a West Hollywood hotel in May 2023. Fans were thrilled to see it returned to its rightful owner.

"Oh I LOVE THIS STORY!" said one fan on Instagram, while another added, "@joethejewelerchicago you’re epic!"

Outback Steakhouse has long found a way to deliver the best of both world when it comes to its first-rate menu, balancing out an even divide between fresh seafood and hearty steaks when it comes to ordering options.

But when it comes right down to it, why pick one or the other when you can actually find a way to order both?

Fortunately, for all those in the mood for seafood and steak, Outback is once again offering their wildly popular Sirloin & Coconut Shrimp Steak n' Mate Combo for a limited time this spring.

According to Allrecipes, Outback has once again reintroduced the Sirloin & Coconut Shrimp Steak n' Mate Combo to nationwide menus.

Featuring Outback's famed center-cut sirloin steak along with generously-sized shrimp coated in crispy coconut flakes, the dish comes served with the restaurant's creole marmalade and your choice of side.

If that weren't already an amazing-sounding dinner, Outback also has a limited-time Down Under Trio that allows you to sample three of the brand's most popular appetizers. This includes Outback's famous Bloomin' Onion, their gooey Fried Mozzarella Bloomerangs with a side of marinara sauce and Aussie Cheese Fries with homemade ranch dressing.

Along with these exciting new menu additions, Outback is also rolling out two other similarly returning fan favorites in the form of the Chimichurri Filet and Chocolate Chip Skillet.

The former features seared filet medallion cut into neat slices and topped with a zesty chimichurri sauce, complete with a side of Bloomin' Onion petals; meanwhile, the Chocolate Chip Skillet features a generously-sized chocolate chip cookie, still warm and gooey from the skillet.

As of right now, it's not yet clear for how long the returning items will stick around on Outback's menu.

As they are indeed here for a limited time, however, you might want to think about ordering any of these three dining options before they've once again vanished from Outback's menus.

To celebrate International Women's Day, Barbie is spotlighting real-life trailblazers with a new "Dream Team" doll collection, honoring women who are pushing boundaries in fields ranging from science and sports to activism and exploration. Among those receiving their own doll is Kellie Gerardi, a payload specialist and a research astronaut whose work is helping shape the future of spaceflight.

The new lineup is part of Barbie's broader initiative to highlight female role models whose achievements inspire the next generation, particularly in areas where women have historically been underrepresented. The brand has spent recent years expanding its roster of dolls modeled after real women—including prominent athletes like tennis player Serena Williams and soccer player Chloe Kelly—in an effort to show young girls a wider range of possibilities.

Gerardi's inclusion in the collection reflects her growing influence in the space industry. A researcher focused on microgravity science, she has become a prominent advocate for commercial space research and women's representation in aerospace. In 2023, she flew aboard a suborbital mission with Virgin Galactic's Galactic 05, conducting research that could help inform future space missions and technologies. She'll embark on her second mission in 2026.

Now, Gerardi is being immortalized in plastic.

"It's something that just feels like such a full-circle moment," she told PEOPLE, adding that she was in tears when she was contacted by Mattel. "I grew up playing with Barbie dolls. I'm a mom of an eight-year-old daughter, plus one who will be here in a few weeks, and that's a huge part of our imaginative play."

She also said that a "common trope" from her community of supporters online has long been, "You're like real-life space Barbie" or a "real-life astronaut Barbie."

Gerardi took to that online community this week to share the exciting news, tell her Instagram followers that she was "beside" herself, both "literally and figuratively," with a photo holding up her new Barbie replica.

"If you've followed my career, you know how much emphasis I've always placed on refusing to tone down my multitudes or femininity," she captioned the photo. "I want my daughters to see that I refuse to shrink myself to fit someone else's picture—instead, I wanted to force that picture to expand to include me. This Barbie expands that picture beyond my wildest dreams."

The doll modeled after Gerardi features details inspired by her real-life career, including a spaceflight jacket, her signature star necklace, and her mission patch, reflecting the work she has done both in the lab and in flight.

For Gerardi, the honor represents more than a personal milestone. It's a chance to show young girls that careers in science and space exploration are within reach. After all, her goal has always been about "helping open the door to space for the next generation of scientists" in an effort to "benefit humanity," she explained to PEOPLE. And that's precisely why joining the inaugural Barbie "Dream Team" has been so "beautiful and humbling."

"The honor is immense," she continued to PEOPLE. "I think a lot about the fact that gender schemas are formed so early in life, and they're so rigid ... But my daughter is growing up, and if you ask her, 'Draw an astronaut,' she's drawing herself or a little girl ... To me, that symbolizes the crux of what I value most about this partnership. That optimism for the future and the honoring of what it took to open these new paths, and the celebration of those who are boldly pursuing them and trying to hold them open a little wider."

The "Dream Team" collection arrives as Barbie continues its push to evolve beyond traditional dolls to focus more on storytelling around real women making an impact. The International Women's Day launch highlights the brand's message that curiosity and courage can take girls anywhere, from sports arenas to the edges of space.

I love a good food hack, especially those that go viral and get people talking. Some food hacks stop you mid-scroll because they look elegant or impressive. Others grab your attention because they’re strange enough that you need to know how they turn out. This cheesy potato “thing” I keep seeing all over social media firmly falls into the second category. It’s part mashed potato, part stuffed bread in a TikTok viral kitchen experiment that I had to try.

The recipe has been tried multiple ways online, such as the one shared by content creator Graeme Tomlinson (@thefitnesschef), and receives mixed feedback because the finished product doesn’t always seem polished or photogenic, but it promises a whole lot of comfort-food appeal and minimal ingredients, most of which I already had on hand, and that is usually enough to convince me to try something at least once.

I tried this recipe a few different ways, and one really stood out. This is one of those recipes that isn't exactly easy, and it's pretty messy for some parts, but if you like potatoes, cheese and recipes that still taste good even when they go a little sideways, this one might be worth keeping. If nothing else, trying it at least once is a fun little TikTok kitchen experiment.

What Is the Viral Cheesy Potato Hack, Exactly?

This viral recipe is essentially a stuffed potato dough. Mashed potatoes are combined with flour and fat, shaped into a flat round, filled with cheese or other add-ins, then sealed and cooked until crisp.

The result lands somewhere between a potato pancake, a bread and a very loose interpretation of pizza, depending on how it’s filled and cooked.

Why the Cheesy Potato Hack Is Tricky

Potato dough is forgiving in flavor but not always in structure. If it’s too large, too thin or overfilled, it can split open while cooking, which I found out the hard way. Heat method matters, too. High heat helps crisp the outside, but it can also cause weak seams to fail.

Everything You Need To Make the Viral Cheesy Potato

For this recipe, you need large, peeled potatoes, melted butter and flour. From there, fillings can vary. I used mozzarella and chorizo in one version and just cheese in another. Seasoning is optional but highly recommended! I added seasoned salt and Sazon Complete to mine.

You will also need oil and plastic wrap for shaping your dough.

How To Make the Viral Cheesy Potato Recipe

Cook and mash the potatoes until smooth, then mix in butter and flour until a soft dough forms. As you're mashing it, it may start to feel like mashing Play-Doh. Shape the dough into a large circle on oiled plastic wrap, add fillings to the center and carefully fold and seal the dough around them.

Cooking can be done in an air fryer or deep fryer, though results vary significantly depending on size and sealing. Smaller portions are easier to manage and hold together better.

In my first attempt, I made the dough too big and added too much chorizo to it. When I cooked it in the air fryer, it fell apart. That being said, it was still edible and delicious. In my second attempt, I left out the chorizo, made the dough into small balls and deep fried it. They fell apart.

Courtesy Angel Albring

In the final attempt, I made the dough a lot smaller than in the first attempt and filled it with cheese only. I cooked it in the air fryer for 8 minutes at 400 degrees. I flipped it and cooked it another 6 minutes. It turned out perfect! This would be an amazing cheesy bread with marinara sauce.

My Honest Thoughts

The large version with chorizo fell apart in the air fryer, but it still tasted great. Structurally, it was a mess. Flavor-wise, it absolutely worked. Deep frying was worse. That version failed completely and is not something I’d recommend repeating.

Courtesy Angel Albring

Where this hack really shines is in smaller portions. Making individual potatobreads with just cheese, seasoning the dough well and air frying them delivered the best result by far. My husband described it as a potato-based pizza.

Courtesy Angel Albring

Aside from keeping portions small, make sure you seal the dough thoroughly and don’t overload the filling. Season the potato mixture generously because it really does make a big difference. Cheese-only versions are more stable than meat-filled ones, especially for air frying, but the meat version was savory and comforting.

If you’re expecting perfection, this may not be your recipe. But if you’re looking for a quick lunch or snack that feels indulgent and comforting, this hack is worth experimenting with.

Laufey had a special surprise for her fans at her Manchester show on Wednesday.

The Chinese-Icelandic singer is currently on the European leg of her A Matter of Time Tour, supporting her third studio album that she released last August. Built into her setlist, Laufey also sings a surprise song, and sometimes brings out a special guest to perform with her.

Laufey kicked off the European Tour on Feb. 18 in Zurich and has been playing her newest song, "How I Get," as the surprise song for the first nine shows in honor of A Matter of Time: The Final Hour, the deluxe version of the record, coming out on April 10. But the audience at her sold-out show in Manchester's Co-op Live received an exciting special guest.

Laufey performs onstage during the 68th GRAMMY Awards Pre-GRAMMY Gala & GRAMMY Salute to Industry Icons Honoring Avery Lipman & Monte Lipman on January 31, 2026 in Los Angeles, California.

For one of the surprise songs, Laufey brought out iconic actor Jeff Goldblum to play the piano and sing a cover of "Misty" by Erroll Garner. Known as one of the most popular jazz songs of this century, many other iconic artists have recorded their own version of the 1954 jazz standard, including Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Stevens, Angelica Hale, Chase Eagleson and Laufey herself. Her cover of "Misty" is the 11th track of her second studio album, Bewitched.

A day later, the Jurassic Parkactor shared three photos with Laufey backstage on social media, writing that it was "an honor and privilege to join @laufey at her Manchester show performing 'Misty' - a favorite song of both of ours. 🫶🏻💐."

Moments after Goldblum posted on Instagram, Laufey commented on the photos, writing "YOURE THE BEST !!!!! 🤍," and reposting them.

This is not the first time Goldblum has shared publicly about his love for Laufey and her music. Back in August 2025, the 73-year-old revealed to the New York Times that his "song of the summer" was Laufey's "Lover Girl," the third single from A Matter of Time. In addition, during his performances with the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra in Los Angeles, Goldblum brought out the "California and Me" singer to perform a cover of "Manhattan" with him at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, this past January.

Goldblum has been acting since the 1970s, starting with his debut film in Death Wish in 1974. He then went on to appear and star in many films throughout the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, including the blockbuster moviesJurassic Park and Independence Day, along with their sequels. On top of acting, Goldblum has always had a love for music and jazz. He grew up learning how to play the piano and began performing publicly around Pittsburgh when he was 15 years old. But, a professional music career did not happen until he started his own jazz band, Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, in the mid 1990s in Los Angeles.

Last month, Goldblum announced that he will be going on the Night Blooms World Tour with The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra around Australia, the United Kingdom, Europe and Canada this coming spring and summer. The group also does occasional shows around Los Angeles.

Born as Laufey Lín Bing Jónsdóttir, but just goes by Laufey on stage, she began her professional music career at 15 years old as a cello soloist with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra. After performing on Island Got Talent and The Voice Island as a teenager and graduating from Berklee College of Music, she released her debut album, Everything I Know About Love, in 2022. A year later, she released her second album, Bewitched, which won Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album and produced the viral single, "From The Start." Her third album, A Matter of Time, also won the same Grammy last month.

Laufey's European leg of the A Matter of Time Tour will conclude on March 22 at the Auditori de Forum in Barcelona, then continue again in Asia and Australia over the summer.

Bianca Censori visited a Los Angeles courthouse yesterday, and if there weren’t a gazillion flashbulbs taking her picture as she left, it’s likely no one would have even noticed.

An architect and the S.O. of hip-hop mogul Kanye West, Censori is synonymous with provocative fashion choices, oftentimes wearing, well, not a lot. See: her famous trip down the 67th Grammys red carpet in a literal naked dress. Or her no-pants sculptural look at the 2024 Marni RTW FW show in Milan. Or her shocking string bikini post on Instagram.

Her court-date look was the exact opposite of all the above. It was conservative, monochromatic, and simple -- and yet, it had everyone doing a double take.

View this post on Instagram

Dressed in all-black, Censori wore a midi-length leather pencil skirt with a cardigan buttoned from top to bottom. She finished the look with a black designer bag, silver stilettos, and wire-rimmed eyeglasses. With her hair pulled back into a slick bun, she walked slowly to her black Mercedes-Maybach, her hands tucked into her skirt pockets and her gaze low.

In February, Censori was warned to “dress appropriately” for court, with Judge Brock T. Hammond saying everyone “must comply with the basic dress code.” Censori was summoned to the courthouse in downtown L.A. to testify in a case concerning West's Malibu mansion.

According to Page Six, the case was filed by a construction worker who claimed he was fired for raising safety concerns over the abode and wasn’t properly paid for his work.

The premiere of Outlander Season 8 left many viewers wondering: Does Fergus die?

On Friday, March 6, the highly anticipated final season of the Starz series, based on the book series written by Diana Gabaldon, kicked off. But viewers are worried about Fergus' fate after a teaser shared at the end of the episode.

Warning: Spoilers for Season 8, Episode 1 are ahead.

In the Season 8 premiere, viewers learned that Fergus (César Domboy) was illegally printing and selling political pamphlets from his print shop. This is something that he and his adopted father, Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), did in the past, only in Edinburgh, Scotland. Except, the circumstances were very different this time.

"The British dinna forgive sedition," Jamie warned after finding the pamphlets in Fergus' Philadelphia print shop.

"I better not get caught, then," Fergus replied, adding, "Don't worry, I'm doing everything you taught me."

Jamie pointed out, "The difference is you have a family now," to which Fergus responded, "You had a family then."

"They were safe in the Highlands, not with me in Edinburgh," Jamie insisted. "There wasn't a war, then."

Fergus explained, "Which is why this work is more vital than what we did before." But Jamie pressed, "Which is why it's also more dangerous."

To conclude the conversation, Fergus said, "In these times, there's little one can do that isn't dangerous. If I'm going to be killed for something, I should like it to be something that matters." He then said in French, "The pen is my sword."

I swear, if something happened to Fergus... I'll be laid down in my bed crying for weeks #outlander @Outlander_STARZ

At the end of the Season 8 premiere, a teaser for the rest of the season played. One scene in particular had some fans worried about Fergus' fate. A quick shot showed Fegus' wife, Marsali (Lauren Lyle), screaming out in horror.

On X, one fan posted a screenshot of Marsali's anguished face, declaring, "I swear, if something happened to Fergus... I'll be laid down in my bed crying for weeks #outlander."

Translated from Italian, another Outlander fan wrote on X, "Well, they're all back together, the fact that they lingered on the bees isn't a great omen, and the trailer at the end for the whole season where Marsali screams doesn't reassure me. If something happens to Fergus, I'll smash everything."

Although Fergus does not die in the Outlander book series, could the show's storyline kill off the beloved character? What do you think?

Fans hoping to see Jeremih join the upcoming Boys 4 Life tour will have to wait a little longer.

The beloved 2000s R&B singer has been forced to step away from the tour lineup due to ongoing health concerns, according to a new update from his team. The 38-year-old was originally scheduled to perform alongside Bow Wow and B2K on the nostalgic tour celebrating some of the era’s biggest hits.

The news was first shared by the singer on Instagram on Friday, March 6, where he revealed that a medical issue is preventing him from traveling and performing at this time. “Due to a serious medical condition, Jeremih will be unable to participate in the upcoming B2K tour scheduled to begin in March,” the caption read. “He has been dealing with a health issue, and his condition continues to be closely monitored by his doctor.”

View this post on Instagram

In a separate statement to TMZ, Jeremih’s manager confirmed the situation while asking fans for patience as the singer focuses on getting better: “[Jeremih's] condition continues to be closely monitored by his doctor. Jeremih and his team are focused on his care and recovery and are deeply grateful for the understanding, patience, and continued support from fans, partners, and the touring team during this time.”

Details about the specific health issue have not been made public.

Some fans had already begun to suspect that something was off after Bow Wow recently posted a promotional flyer for the Boys 4 Life tour that noticeably left Jeremih’s name off the lineup. The rapper also hinted at behind-the-scenes frustrations in a separate social media post, criticizing unnamed individuals for not putting in enough work for the tour.

Jeremih’s health news comes as another R&B artist has recently spoken openly about their own medical struggles. Earlier this year, Ray J revealed that he is currently on strict bedrest while doctors monitor a serious heart condition.

The singer told TMZ he has been prescribed multiple medications, including Jardiance and Entresto—both commonly used for patients at risk of heart failure—as well as the cholesterol drug Lipitor. Doctors also ordered him to completely stop drinking alcohol and smoking.

After a hospitalization for pneumonia and heart pain, Ray J later admitted on social media, “I f**ked up. I thought I was a big [shot], so I could handle all the alcohol. I could handle all the Adderall. I could handle all the drugs, but I couldn’t. And it curbed my time here.” He suggested he only has a year or so left to live, but it is unclear the severity of his condition.

The director and filmmaker behind the hit TV show Heated Rivalry, Jacob Tierney, is set to head the creation of a new Netflix drama series titled Alexander, which follows the tale of the ancient Greek military commander Alexander the Great and his relationship with his mentor, the great philosopher Aristotle.

Netflix revealed on Thursday that Tierney will write, direct and executive produce the new series as an adaptation of the 2010 novel The Golden Mean by Annabel Lyon. Aggregate Films, the production company founded by Arrested Development star Jason Bateman and producer Michael Costigan, will also executive produce the series alongside Tierney.

— Pop Base (@PopBase) March 6, 2026

According to Netflix, the period piece will address themes of "forbidden love, brutal war and ruthless ambitions" as it chronicles Aristotle's quest to tutor the Macedonian prince Alexander just as the Athenian empire begins to fall apart. Like his relationship to the Game Changers book series that inspired the creation of HBO's Heated Rivalry, Tierney said that he had been drawn to The Golden Mean for many years and that he had been "dreaming of telling this story ever since."

Netflix has yet to announce any casting updates or news about a potential release date for the new series.

The news about Alexander comes on the heels of Tierney's major win at Thursday's annual GLAAD Media Awards, during which the filmmaker won the award for Outstanding New TV Series for Heated Rivalry starring breakout stars Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie.

"Making queer art is hard — it's hard to get it made, it's hard to get it seen," Tierney said during his acceptance speech. "We owe so much to the shows that come before us, as problematic as some of them may be. Those shows laid the groundwork for where we are." He then proceeded to list some of the most influential LGBTQ+ shows that have paved the way for Heated Rivalry, including Will and Grace, The L Word and Queer as Folk.
