Oscar 2026 Predictions: Who Will Win and Who Could Pull Off an Upset?

Fri, 03/06/2026 - 12:55pm

The race for the Oscars is coming down to the wire, and it feels like we might be in for some massive surprises. It has been a great year for movies, and certainly a wild one. Honestly, nobody is 100% sure sure who is taking home the big trophies yet. Right now, all eyes are on Sinners and One Battle After Another. Both of these have not only stunned the world with their epic storytelling, but they have also been cleaning up at all the pre-Oscars ceremonies lately. 

Paul Thomas Anderson's black comedy One Battle After Another is gaining momentum after its big win at the Producers Guild Awards (PGA). Meanwhile, Ryan Coogler's horror-drama is already in the record books as the most-nominated movie the Academy has ever seen. On the other hand, the Best Actor category is also wide open now that Michael B. Jordan grabbed the win at the 2026 Actor Awards for his portrayal in Sinners. 

Amazon Studios

It is anyone's game right now, and that's what makes this year's awards season so exciting. Since no one has a lock on the trophy yet, the night is wide open for some big surprises. With the ceremony just around the corner on March 15th, 2026, here are our predictions for Hollywood's biggest night.

Best Picture

Warner Bros. Pictures

There is no doubt that this year's Best Picture race has been a heavyweight battle between Sinners and One Battle After Another. While One Battle After Another has a strong backing after winning major industry prizes like the PGA and DGA, Sinners has been dominating much of the awards season. It has picked up numerous accolades along the way and even set a new record with 16 Oscar nods. Moreover, its Best Ensemble win at this year's Actor Awards indicates that the film has strong support, giving it the kind of momentum that could lead to a surprise win. 

Still, if you look at the past trends and statistics, One Battle After Another appears to have a slight edge going to the star-studded ceremony.

Predicted Winners: One Battle After Another
Could Win: Sinners

Best Director

Right now, it looks like a one-horse race. Early on, fans were split between Ryan Coogler and Paul Thomas Anderson, but the momentum shifted quickly once awards season kicked off. Anderson has basically cleared the table, taking home the Golden Globe, BAFTA, Critics' Choice, and DGA awards. His work on One Battle After Another makes him the clear favorite to finally land his first Oscar for directing.

Still, the Academy could pull a surprise. If Coogler wins for Sinners, he’d make history twice over: as the first Black filmmaker to win the category and the first to do it with a horror movie. It would be a massive statement for the genre.

Predicted Winner: Paul Thomas Anderson, One Battle After Another
Could Win: Ryan Coogler, Sinners

Best Actor in a Leading Role - Male

We haven't seen a race this tight in years. Usually, by the time the Oscars roll around, someone like Brendan Fraser or Cillian Murphy has already locked it up. This year is different. Timothée Chalamet was the early frontrunner after his Golden Globe and Critics' Choice wins for Marty Supreme, but he hit a wall after losing at the BAFTAs and the Actor Awards.

Now, Michael B. Jordan has the upper hand after his big win at the Actor Awards. History is on his side here, as almost every winner since 2000 has won either a BAFTA or an Actor Award. Chalamet has neither, which leaves him in a tough spot. Meanwhile, Wagner Moura and Leonardo DiCaprio are the "dark horses." They have a huge amount of support from the Academy’s growing international voting block.

Predicted Winner: Michael B. Jordan, Sinners
Could Win: Leonardo DiCaprio, One Battle After Another/Wagner Moura, The Secret Agent

Best Actor in a Leading Role - Female

You can basically sum up this category with one name: Jessie Buckley. Her performance in Hamnet has been a juggernaut. She managed a rare "grand slam" this season, winning the Critics' Choice, Globe, BAFTA, and the Actor Award. It’s been over a decade since someone swept all four major awards and lost the Oscar, so it would be a historic shock if she didn't win.

Predicted Winner: Jessie Buckley, Hamnet
Could Win: Rose Byrne, If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You

Supporting Actor - Male

This is one of those categories that can go anywhere. Sean Penn is currently leading the pack after his wins at the BAFTAs and the Actor Awards for his role in One Battle After Another. But Stellan Skarsgård is right on his heels for Sentimental Value. One factor to consider is the "campaign." Penn doesn't usually show up to these events, and some voters might prefer to reward someone like Skarsgård, who is more active on the circuit.

Predicted Winner: Sean Penn, One Battle After Another
Could Win: Stellan Skarsgård, Sentimental Value

Supporting Actor - Female

This category is a total toss-up. If you thought covering the Awards Season was fun and didn't include any stress, just follow the Supporting Actress race this year, and you'll get to know the reality.

Amy Madigan started strong with a Critics' Choice win, but then Teyana Taylor took the Golden Globe and Wunmi Mosaku won the BAFTA. While Madigan did win the Actor Award, it’s still anyone’s game. The big hurdle for Madigan is that her movie, Weapons, doesn’t have any other nominations. Usually, a movie needs more overall support for an actor to win. That gives an edge to Taylor, since her film is a Best Picture favorite.

Predicted Winner: Amy Madigan, Weapons
Could Win: Teyana Taylor, One Battle After Another; Wunmi Mosaku, Sinners

Best International Feature

This started as a three-way tie, but Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value has become the one to beat. Norway’s entry has all the momentum right now. However, this category is often influenced by global events. Jafar Panahi’s It Was Just an Accident is a very powerful film, and voters might choose it to support the filmmaker or acknowledge the message behind the movie.

Predicted Winner:Sentimental Value
Could Win:It Was Just an Accident/The Secret Agent

Sentimental Value

TIFF

Best Animated Feature

There isn’t much of a debate here. Netflix’s K-pop Demon Hunters became a massive hit with both critics and the public. It has dominated every award show so far, and it’s safe to say it has this one locked up. You can go ahead and call this one early.

Predicted Winner:K-pop Demon Hunters
Could Win:Zootopia 2

Original Screenplay

Ryan Coogler looks set to win for Sinners. He took a tired genre like vampire movies and turned it into a modern classic. The script has already won at the BAFTAs and Critics' Choice. If he wins at the WGA awards on March 8, it’s officially over. The only real threat is It Was Just an Accident, which has been a critics' darling all year.

Predicted Winner:Sinners, Ryan Coogler
Could Win:It Was Just an Accident

Adapted Screenplay

This category is a showdown between a "literary phenomenon" and a fan favorite. Paul Thomas Anderson took a famously difficult novel, Vineland, and turned it into One Battle After Another. He’s already won the BAFTA, Critics' Choice, and Golden Globe for it. While Chloe Zhao’s Hamnet has plenty of fans, Anderson’s achievement in adapting such a complex book makes him the favorite.

Predicted Winner:One Battle After Another, Paul Thomas Anderson
Could Win:Hamnet, Chloe Zhao

Leonardo DiCaprio in One Battle After Another

American Airlines Meal Mix-Up Leaves Travelers Hungry and Frustrated

Fri, 03/06/2026 - 12:53pm

Few things heighten travel anxiety like hunger at 35,000 feet. A delayed flight is frustrating. A cramped seat is tolerable. But when the meal you carefully pre-ordered never appears, passengers notice.

That is exactly what some travelers recently experienced on flights operated by American Airlines, particularly on routes connecting the United States and Heathrow Airport in London. A catering disruption has forced the airline to simplify onboard meals, leaving passengers with far fewer choices and sometimes no access to the meals they had reserved before boarding. For travelers who plan their inflight dining ahead of time, especially on long international flights, the change has sparked confusion, frustration, and plenty of commentary online.

Get the latest travel inspiration and news delivered straight to your inbox.

Why American Airlines Meals Suddenly Became Limited

The issue began when American Airlines halted local catering services at Heathrow, forcing the airline to adopt a temporary workaround. Instead of loading fresh meals in London, flights departing the United States are now stocked with extra food that is meant to cover the return trip as well.

That workaround has created an unavoidable limitation. Aircraft galleys simply do not have space for two full flights’ worth of meals. As a result, meal service has been simplified across cabins, including premium seats. Pre-ordered meals are not always honored, and passengers are often given only two choices: a protein dish or a vegetarian option.

Other small touches travelers enjoy have also disappeared during the disruption. Aviation reporting indicates that some premium cabins temporarily lost extras like ice cream or specialty menu items because they cannot be stored alongside the additional catering supplies.

Passengers Take to Reddit to Vent About Missing Meals

Predictably, travelers did what travelers do best when something goes wrong in the sky. They went online. Posts about the issue quickly appeared on Reddit forums devoted to airline travel, where flyers shared photos, stories, and a fair amount of sarcasm.

One frustrated passenger reacting to the reduced meal service wrote: “Are you freaking kidding me?”

Another traveler described a long cross-country trip where food options were shockingly sparse: “We were only allowed ONE biscotti cookie each… over ten hours and NO food.”

Others reported receiving emails warning them that their pre-ordered business class meals might not be available at all. What stands out reading these posts is not just the frustration. It is how much passengers rely on inflight meals as part of the overall travel experience. For many people, the ritual of choosing a meal before departure is one of the few small comforts that break up a long international flight.

Why In-Flight Food Matters More Than Airlines Realize

On paper, inflight meals might seem like a minor detail. After all, the real goal of air travel is getting from point A to point B safely. But airline food has always played a surprisingly important role in how travelers perceive a flight. In the early decades of commercial aviation, meals were one of the primary ways airlines differentiated themselves. Elegant dining service was once a major selling point of air travel.

Today the expectations are lower, but the psychology remains the same. When passengers board a long flight, they are entering a confined environment where small comforts matter. A warm meal, a dessert cart, or even a decent snack can break up the monotony of hours spent in the air. That is why when food disappears or becomes unpredictable, passengers notice immediately.

I have personally experienced this moment mid-flight when a flight attendant announces that a meal option has run out halfway down the aisle. Suddenly the entire cabin becomes very attentive.

Tips for Travelers When Airline Catering Goes Wrong

While situations like this are usually temporary, seasoned travelers know it is wise to plan ahead. Here are a few simple strategies that can save you from inflight hunger:

  • Pack a small meal or snacks before boarding, especially for long international routes.
  • Choose airport restaurants over relying on airline meals when possible.
  • Bring portable foods such as protein bars, nuts, or sandwiches.
  • Check airline notifications before departure, as some travelers received warnings about limited meals.

These habits are becoming increasingly common as airlines adjust services and catering logistics.

The Bigger Lesson for Travelers

Airline catering disruptions happen more often than travelers realize. Supply chain hiccups, aircraft changes, and airport catering issues can all affect what ends up on your tray table.
For now, the meal situation affecting American Airlines flights to and from London appears to be a temporary operational workaround rather than a permanent policy change. The airline has reportedly increased food supplies on departing flights from the U.S. to help ensure that at least some meals remain available on the return journey.

Still, the episode serves as a reminder that in modern air travel, the safest assumption is simple. If you are counting on a specific meal in the sky, it might be wise to bring a backup snack in your carry-on. Because nothing makes turbulence feel worse than being hungry at cruising altitude.

McDonald’s Is Giving Away Free Food in Exchange for Your First Job Life Lessons

Fri, 03/06/2026 - 12:51pm

McDonald’s is betting that your first job was more than just a paycheck. It might have been a masterclass in chaos.

Launching today, the fast-food giant debuted its First Job Confessional experience in New York City. Partnering with reality TV personalityOlandria Carthen, the brand is offering fans free meals in exchange for stepping into a stylized booth and confessing the highlights (or lowlights) of their very first professional gig. The campaign kicks off on National Employee Appreciation Day to highlight the "1 in 8" community: the roughly 40 million Americans who began their careers under the golden arches.

A Reality TV Spin on Professional Skills

The confessional booth is designed to look like a set from a hit streaming series. Wrapped in signature colors, the exterior is plastered with the real-world skills many people learn during their first shifts: Teamwork, Endurance, and Problem-Solving.

Once inside, fans are prompted by a recording screen to answer one simple question: "What was your first job?". After sharing a story about a first boss, a uniform mishap, or a hard-earned lesson, participants walk away with a free meal.

McDonald's

The 1 in 8 Connection

For Carthen, the partnership is a nod to her own roots. The media personality, known for her sharp commentary, recently visited a McDonald’s location to suit up in a navy crew uniform and work the fry station alongside current employees. The campaign is built on the fact that one out of every eight people in the U.S. has worked at a McDonald’s at some point in their lives.

McDonald's

If you cannot make it to a physical booth, the brand is taking the conversation to social media. Fans can post their stories using the hashtag #FirstJobConfessional. The best submissions are set to be featured on the official McDonald's YouTube channel.

Where the Booth Is Heading Next

The confessional is currently stationed at Gansevoort Plaza in New York City through March 7. From there, the tour hits three major U.S. cities throughout the spring and summer:

Keanu Reeves’ Band Dogstar Announces New Album and World Tour

Fri, 03/06/2026 - 12:50pm

Keanu Reeves' band Dogstar has just announced a new album and tour!

On Friday, Mar. 6, the alternative rock band announced their new album, All In Now, will be released on May 29. The group also dropped a single of the same name, out now.

The album All is Now is a follow-up to 2023’s Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees, which marked the first album released by the group since 2000's Happy Ending.

"We couldn't f****** wait," Reeves said in a statement, according to Arizona rock radio station 98 KUPD. "Personally, I loved it all. For me, the attitude was like, 'let's work hard and let’s GO.'"

In addition to the new record, the band also announced a 25-stop North American tour—commencing on May 28 in Highland, CA, and concluding on Sep. 3 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The group will also perform an additional 25 dates across Europe in June and July.

Dogstar—which includes guitarist and vocalist Bret Domrose, drummer Robert Mailhouse and bassist Reeves—was founded in 1994, with the group finding moderate success in the '90s and early 2000s due to Reeves' status as an actor. Their last performance of their initial run as a band was in October 2002.

The band restarted jam sessions in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, and formally announced their reunion in 2022 by posting a simple "We're back" alongside a throwback photo to their Instagram page.

The full list of tour dates can be found here.

Lucille Ball’s Favorite ‘I Love Lucy’ Episode Is a Classic From 1956 – But the Backstory Is Confusing

Fri, 03/06/2026 - 12:41pm

Lucille Ball once revealed her favorite episode of I Love Lucy – and her answer was surprising, given the beating she took while filming it.

During a 1974 appearance on The Dick Cavett Show, Ball responded to the audience with one word when asked to name her favorite episode from the classic TV sitcom she starred in with her then-husband, Desi Arnaz, from 1951 to 1957.

“Grapes,” she said.

Ball was referring to the iconic 1956 episode “Lucy’s Italian Movie,” which aired 70 years ago on April 16, 1956. Ball teamed up with an Italian actress, Teresa Tirelli, for a famous grape-stomping scene during her character Lucy Ricardo’s trip to Italy. But things went awry when Tirelli reportedly went off-script and got overly physical with Ball in the grape-stomping vat.

“Our director didn’t speak Italian,” Ball told host Dick Cavett. “I didn’t speak Italian, no one spoke Italian. …[Tirelli] was told that there would be a fight, and it was also explained to her that there were times when my legs had to come up in this huge vat of real grapes."

“I slipped and when I slipped, I hit her, accidentally. And she took offense. So, she hauled off and let me have it … it took all the wind out of me,” Ball continued. “She had been told that we were to stay down for a while, give me a chance to get my legs way up so that they’d show in the camera. Then, up would come an arm…My head was supposed to pop [up]. Well, my head never popped up. She kept me down by the throat. And she was choking me, and I am really beating her to get her off. I was drowning in these grapes. She was killing me.”

Producers reportedly didn’t intervene because they knew the scene would be a hit with fans. But Ball lamented of Tirelli, “She spent so much time beating the hell out of me in the vat, we had to cut half of it.”

The lack of communication may not have been a language barrier

Ball’s story on Cavett’s show alluded to the fact that Tirelli didn’t speak English. But I Love Lucy producer Jess Oppenheimer’s son, Gregg, stated on Facebook in 2024, “Any stories you may have heard that the Italian woman in the vat spoke no English, or that Lucy nearly drowned, are simply untrue. The fight scene in the grape vat was carefully rehearsed all week. The Italian actress, Teresa Tirelli, was a card-carrying SAG member who spoke perfect English. She later appeared in the TV series Dr. Kildare and as a midwife in The Godfather Part II."

Oppenheimer directed fans to get the full behind-the-scenes in his father’s book, Laughs, Luck and Lucy.

But when one fan asked, “But isn't Lucy partly to blame for the story of the Italian actress not speaking English and nearly drowning Lucy?” Oppenheimer explained.

“You’re right,”  he wrote. “Lucille Ball was not only a great actress, but a great storyteller, and she loved to tell them. One of the traits she shared with Lucy Ricardo was a rich imagination, and sometimes she used it to embellish her stories, including this one.”

Tirelli, who was also a renowned classical singer, died in June 1989 at age 81, per a UPI obituary, just two months after Ball’s death that April at age 77.

Pillsbury Brings Back a Beloved Cinnamon Roll Flavor for Spring

Fri, 03/06/2026 - 12:34pm

A sweet Pillsbury find is officially heading to stores for the season.

This spring, the iconic at-home bakery brand is not only expanding its lineup of goodies with a vibrant Funfetti Swirl Cake Mix, but also bringing back a "delectable" cinnamon roll flavor.

While the company hasn't formally announced the arrival of the fruity flavor, a few eagle-eyed shoppers have already spotted the item—Pillsbury Grands! Strawberry and Cream Cinnamon Rolls—in stores and fans can hardly keep it together over the "amazing" find.

Pillsbury's Strawberry and Cream Cinnamon Rolls Are Here Just for the Season

The fun, light pink branded treat first debuted in the spring of 2018, and is now returning and still delighting fans nearly a decade later.

According to an official description published on the Pillsbury website, its limited-edition Grands! Cinnamon Rolls start with the brand's iconic ready-to-bake Cinnamon Rolls and refresh the recipe with a sweet, fruity strawberry-and-cream-flavored icing.

Pillsbury recommends consumers prepare these the same way that they would the original Grand! Cinnamon Rolls (or the wintertime favorite Hot Cocoa Grands or any of its other rolls).

Simply, preheat the oven, arrange on a nonstick tray or greased pan, and bake until golden brown (about 23 to 27 minutes). Then comes the time to spread the spring-ready Strawberry and Cream icing across the Cinnamon Rolls, adding your ideal amount to each. To turn things up a notch and make your feast perfectly festive for an upcoming birthday, Easter, or even Mother's Day, just add some fresh fruit (we would recommend fresh berries), sprinkles, vanilla ice cream, or whatever else your heart desires.

"They might be onto something with the strawberries & cream icing cinnamon rolls 🤤 🍓," one wrote.

"I want to try the cinnamon rolls!" a third cheered, suggesting a peach flavor would also be interesting.

"Where can I buy these?? I need them in my life!" one more declared, adding that they've "been searching for weeks."

It's not only winning over prospective shoppers and social media users, but reviewers, too. Like one who said, "Strawberry cinnamon rolls is a hit with me. I kinda like having fruit on cinnamon rolls now."

Another called the treats "tasty," "delicious," and filling, noting they would certainly buy the flavor again.

"These are yummy," someone else shared. "That strawberry-flavored icing [is] the best."

So far, the Pillsbury Grand! Strawberry and Cream Cinnamon Rolls have been spotted on shelves at Walmart stores. That said, the seasonal find does not appear to be exclusive to the retailer, as Parade editors also reviewed online listings for the product at H-E-B, Kroger family stores, Stop & Shop, and more (prices may vary). Your best bet is to just check the refrigerated section of stores near you as you visit them this spring.

Fri, 03/06/2026 - 12:30pm

Fans are mourning legendary filmmaker Rob Reineras today marks what would have been his 79th birthday. Alongside his wife, Reiner was killed in his home on Dec. 14 of last year, with his son, Nick Reiner, on trial for their murders.

Reiner was known in his career for having created some of the most cult classic films in Hollywood, from The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, and This is Spinal Tap. He was also an actor, having appeared in small roles in Sleepless in Seattle, The Wolf of Wall Street, and The First Wives Club.

In December last year, the news hit of Reiner's daughter, Romy, having reportedly found her parents stabbed multiple times in their Los Angeles home. Reiner and his wife, Michele, were reported dead on the scene, with the investigation having led to the arrest of their son Nick. He is currently charged with two counts of first-degree murder, with the case currently ongoing.

Fans on social media are sharing their heartfelt messages and love for the filmmaker on his birthday. TMZ shared a video montage of some of Reiner's paparazzi moments and honest conversations with photographers.

"A filmmaker who gave us that many classics deserves to be celebrated every single day not just on his birthday. The catalog speaks for itself and always will," said another.

Travis Barker, J Balvin Reimagine Classic Van Halen Song for an All-New 'Anthem'

Fri, 03/06/2026 - 12:29pm

The Super Bowl Halftime Show once belonged to Pepsi. These days, the soda titan's rival churns out addicting songs for an entirely different professional sport.

Coca-Cola is one of FIFA’s longest-standing partners, having served as an official sponsor of the World Cup since 1978. And now. timed to the buildup to FIFA World Cup 26 in Los Angeles, an all-new "anthem" celebrates a full spectrum of emotions that define the tournament — from euphoric highs to heart-stopping lows — and the shared passion that connects fans around the world.

“JUMP” follows in the footsteps of Coca-Cola's past releases, including:

  • K’naan's “Wavin’ Flag” (2010)
  • David Correy's “The World Is Ours” (2014)
  • Jason Derulo's “Colors” (2018)
  • a reimagining of Queen's “A Kind of Magic” (2022)

"JUMP" is a reimagined version of Van Halen's iconic 1980s hit, performed by global superstar J Balvin and acclaimed singer-songwriter Amber Mark, alongside guitarist Steve Vai and legendary blink-182 drummer Travis Barker.

Alongside the track release is its official music video, which made its broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU and the Paramount Times Square billboards. Adding to the music's genre-bending star power, the video includes an animated special appearance from soccer sensation Lamine Yamal.

"When emotions strike, Coca-Cola unites J Balvin, Amber Mark, Steve Vai, and Travis Barker on a worldwide mission," the caption of Coca-Cola's YouTube upload on Friday, March 6 reads. "They'll bring together fans around the world through soccer and music, culminating in an epic space stadium celebration of joy and celebration."

“Music for me has always been about bringing people from different countries and cultures together—and ‘JUMP’ is all about that shared energy,” said J Balvin, 40, in a statement, per Coca-Cola's Friday press release. “From the football stands to watching at home, everyone knows that moment when emotions are high and you’re jumping for greatness. Partnering with Coca-Cola on their anthem for FIFA World Cup 2026TM felt natural—it’s about hype, energy, and creating something that feels real. This song is about celebrating life and living in the moment.”

Savannah Guthrie Mom New Update: FBI Now Probing Mysterious Event on Night Nancy Disappeared

Fri, 03/06/2026 - 12:22pm

The FBI is reportedly looking into a possible mysterious event that occurred the night Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today anchor Savannah Guthrie, disappeared. One neighbor said that his Ring camera footage for that evening was inexplicably "not available," raising questions about what may have happened and why investigators are now probing the incident.

According to NewsNation's Brian Entin, there may have been some kind of "internet outage" on Saturday, Jan. 31 into Sunday, Feb. 1—the night that Nancy, 84, went missing.

The public has speculated on what might have caused an outage, and many wonder if the suspect or suspects had a signal jammer that could have caused these reported issues.

"The use of signal jammers changes the context of this crime. Was the suspect on camera purposefully trying to look like an amateur because it's the last thing he is?" one person wondered.

"WiFi / signal jammers. This leads me to believe the timeline we got is off. Perp could’ve been in there much longer than 41 minutes," someone else suggested.

"This is terrifying. If there was a localized outage, the FBI needs to be looking for Signal Jammers. It’s a common tactic in high-end burglaries, but seeing it in a missing person case takes it to a much darker level. Neighbors need to check their physical DVRs or any cameras that record locally to an SD card … those don’t need the internet," a third comment read.

This isn't the first time that the idea of a signal jammer has been brought up, either. Some people noticed something in the front pocket of the person standing on Nancy's front stoop the night she disappeared. The majority of people seem to think that the item, which appeared to have an antenna, was a walkie talkie, though others wondered if it may have been a signal jammer.

Nancy has been missing since Sunday, Feb. 1.

Daryl Hannah Blasts 'Love Story,' Claims Show Completely Misrepresents Her In New Essay

Fri, 03/06/2026 - 12:07pm

FX's ongoing series Love Story, which centers on the relationship between Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and John F. Kennedy Jr., has caused a controversy with Kennedy Jr.'s ex, Daryl Hannah, according to a new essay the actress penned in The New York Times.

Hannah, who has been depicted in several episodes of the show thus far, took to the publication to address what she views as a major misrepresentation of both herself and her relationship with Kennedy Jr.

In her essay, Hannah wrote, "...a recent tragedy-exploiting television series about John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette features a character using my name and presents her as me. The choice to portray her as irritating, self-absorbed, whiny and inappropriate was no accident."

She went on, "The character 'Daryl Hannah' portrayed in the series is not even a remotely accurate representation of my life, my conduct or my relationship with John. The actions and behaviors attributed to me are untrue."

Hannah called out specific events in the show, saying, "I have never used cocaine in my life or hosted cocaine-fueled parties. I have never pressured anyone into marriage. I have never desecrated any family heirloom or intruded upon anyone’s private memorial. I have never planted any story in the press. I never compared Jacqueline Onassis’ death to a dog’s. It’s appalling to me that I even have to defend myself against a television show. These are not creative embellishments of personality. They are assertions about conduct — and they are false."

Hannah and Kennedy Jr. were romantically linked from 1988 to 1994, in what has been described as an on-again, off-again relationship. Kennedy Jr. and Bessette-Kennedy began dating in 1994, although they were not public until 1995. The couple married in 1996, but just a few years later, both died in a plane crash that also took the life of Bessette-Kennedy's sister, Lauren Bessette.

PopUp Bagels Debuts New Guinness Chocolate Cake Cream Cheese

Fri, 03/06/2026 - 12:06pm

You don't have to be a beer drinker to love PopUp Bagels' latest and greatest cream cheese innovation, the absolutely delicious-sounding Guinness Chocolate Stout Cake Schmear.

Made in an exclusive new partnership with Guinness, PopUp Bagels' newest cream cheese seamlessly blends the bittersweet taste of Guinness' dark beer with the rich, smooth flavor of chocolate cake-inspired cream cheese.

The resulting combination gives way to a unique, endlessly flavorable cream cheese schmear that's perfect on virtually every kind of bagel, be it a toasted plain or a fresh-baked sesame bagel.

"St. Patrick's Day is about ritual, pride and community," said Karissa Downer, Director of Guinness in the United States, in an official press release announcing the new collaboration. "It's the one time of year when everyone feels a little bit Irish — and there's no better way to mark the moment than with a Guinness in hand. This March, we're giving people even more reasons to come together, celebrate and raise a pint."

As incredible as this new cream cheese spread likely sounds, it's worth nothing that the schmear will only be available for a limited time this spring. From March 12 to March 25, the schmear can be found in nationwide locations, with the following shops also offering small pints of Guinness Draught and Guinness 0:

  • Charlotte PopUp Bagels Location (Charlotte, NC)
  • Boston PopUp Bagels Location (Boston, MA)
  • La Jolla PopUp Bagels Location (La Jolla, CA)
  • Atlanta PopUp Bagels Location (Atlanta, GA)

Additionally, to better mark the occasion, PopUp Bagels also confirmed they'll be offering bagels on March 12 and March 13 in Chicago for anyone who stops at the Guinness Open Gate Brewery.

As expected, the news of PopUp Bagels' latest release has been met with an overwhelmingly positive response across social media. On Instagram, multiple users were quick to voice their excitement at the coming schmear flavor, with the words "OMG" popping up more than a few times among PopUp's followers.

HGTV's Chelsea and Cole DeBoer Are Couple Goals on a Road Trip for Wagon Wheel Furniture

Fri, 03/06/2026 - 12:05pm

One of the reasons HGTV shows are so easy to get hooked on is the real-life couples who host them. The network might quietly have one of the most entertaining lineups of duos on TV. From the endlessly charming Napiers to the laid-back, design-savvy Kalamas, these pairs make tackling major renovations look surprisingly doable. Of course, anyone who's ever tried to hang a shelf knows it's not quite that simple—but somehow they keep things feeling fun instead of intimidating.

Part of the appeal is the chemistry that required zero cultivating on the part of HGTV because it already existed. These couples clearly enjoy working together, and that energy spills right through the screen. There's usually a little friendly teasing, some creative brainstorming and the occasional moment where one partner gently talks the other out of a wild design idea.

Down Home Fab's Chelsea and Cole DeBoer just proved they have plenty of fun off camera by documenting a recent road trip they took to pick up some coveted furniture pieces.

View this post on Instagram

Exactly what kind of furniture was enticing enough to inspire the DeBoers to drive miles upon miles for the stuff? Wagon wheel furniture. The pieces usually feature a wooden frame with large circular or semicircular shapes that mimic the spokes of a wagon wheel, giving the furniture its name. It has a distinctly Western, frontier-inspired look, but in that polished, 1950s–1970s way that makes it feel more nostalgic than rustic.

And the DeBoers found amazing examples of it.

"I absolutely LOVE finding these wagon wheel pieces," Chelsea wrote in her Instagram post. "They come with all kinds of different stitching and this cowboy boot one was at the top of my list and in SUCH great shape."

What Fans Are Saying

Aside from begging for new episodes of Down Home Fab, the comments section was alive with fans remarking how adorable the DeBoers are and how they love this behind-the-scenes peek at their road trip.

"Road tripping with the hubby is such good quality time," said a fan. "And what a vintage find!"

The person who sold a couple of pieces to the DeBoers even chimed in with a comment.

"It was fun meeting you guys when you picked it up," they wrote. "We are glad the pieces found a home where they will be taken good care of."

So far HGTV hasn't announced a renewal for Down Home Fab, so the series appears to be in limbo. Until an official announcement about the series' fate is made, we'll just have to catch the DeBoers' latest adventures on their social channels.

A Rare Hazard Has Triggered a Warning at This Popular Arizona National Park

Fri, 03/06/2026 - 12:04pm

Visitors planning a trip to one of the Southwest’s most popular recreation areas are being urged to watch their step.

The National Park Service (NPS) has issued a warning about quicksand hazards at the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, which span through parts of northern Arizona and southern Utah. The alert comes after park officials identified quicksand forming along shorelines and in drainage areas throughout the park.

Covering more than 1.25 million acres, Glen Canyon is a scenic park with grand mesas and cliffs, which also grants access to Lake Powell. But officials say the picturesque setting can hide a surprising danger beneath the surface.

“Quicksand may be present near the shoreline and in drainages throughout the park. It can appear dry and firm on the surface but may suddenly give way,” the statement on the park’s website reads. “Recognize unstable, shifting, or unusually soft ground, and use caution when entering through these areas.”

Quicksand forms when sand mixes with water or air, creating a surface that may look stable but can quickly collapse when weight is applied. According to the National Park Service, this makes it especially difficult for visitors to spot before stepping onto it.

If someone does become trapped, the agency advises staying calm rather than panicking. Sudden movements can cause the body to sink deeper into the unstable sand. Instead, the NPS recommends leaning backward to distribute body weight and slowly working each leg free. “Move one leg at a time, gently and gradually, to allow water to flow into the space around the limb. This loosens the suction effect,” the NPS says.

While quicksand encounters are rarely fatal and not so much like the scenarios we see in cartoons and video games, escaping can be physically exhausting. Officials recommend calling for help if the sediment is deep or if someone becomes fatigued.

The quicksand advisory isn’t the only concern in the area. Park officials have also reported harmful algal blooms in parts of Lake Powell, which can release toxins capable of harming fish, wildlife and humans.

Oreo Was First Sold 114 Years Ago Today on March 6, 1912

Fri, 03/06/2026 - 12:04pm

Exactly 114 years ago — on March 6, 1912 — a grocer in Hoboken, New Jersey, picked up a tin of cookies from a Manhattan bakery and made the first recorded purchase of what would become the best-selling cookie in history. That date is now celebrated as National Oreo Cookie Day.

The cookies were created at the National Biscuit Company's factory in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. Today, that building houses the popular Chelsea Market, and the stretch of Ninth Avenue between 15th and 16th Streets is still known as "Oreo Way."

The first buyer was S.C. Thuesen, a grocer whose shop stood at the corner of 10th and Washington Streets in Hoboken. He purchased 9.25 pounds of the cookies for $1.85, plus 50 cents for the tin they came in. Back then, they were sold by weight in metal canisters topped with glass lids so customers could see what they were getting. The cookies went by a different name, too: Oreo Biscuits.

Here's the part most people don't know. The Oreo wasn't the original. A nearly identical chocolate sandwich cookie called Hydrox had been on the market since 1908, four years before the Oreo existed. Nabisco's version was sweeter and backed by stronger marketing, and it overtook Hydrox so completely that most people today assume Hydrox was the copycat. It wasn't.

In 1908, Hydrox was the real cream cookie & was already on the shelf.

4 years later, a copy product Oreo was released & knocked it out of the market

After ~100 years, Hydrox came back, filed an $800M lawsuit & got crushed again

Nobody actually knows where the name "Oreo" came from, either. Some historians believe it may derive from the French word "or," meaning gold, because the original packaging was gold-colored. Others think it comes from the Greek word for mountain, since early test versions of the cookie were reportedly dome-shaped. Nabisco has never confirmed the real answer.

The cookie's name has changed four times since 1912. It went from Oreo Biscuits to Oreo Sandwich in 1921, then Oreo Crème Sandwich in 1948, before landing on Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookie in 1974, which is still the official name today.

From that first $1.85 tin in Hoboken, the cookie grew into a global phenomenon. More than 500 billion Oreos have been sold worldwide, and the brand is now available in over 100 countries. The cookie also shares a birth year with the Titanic, which sank just weeks later in April 1912. Only one of them is still around.

Wild Reimagining of a 1935 Horror Classic Was Born From a Dare

Fri, 03/06/2026 - 12:02pm

Maggie Gyllenhaal’s monster has finally been unleashed onto the public. 

Following greenlight for a “Frankenstein lore feature” back in January 2024 per Deadline, the writer-director’s passion project premieres today in theaters, and reactions from both fans and critics are like the inner workings of a mad scientist’s lab: chaotic, unpredictable, and electric.

@entertainment_weekly

She’s alive… and starting a revolution! #JessieBuckley is starring in MaggieGyllenhaal’s dark romance TheBride. Dive into the monster movie magic ahead with Buckley, ChristianBale, and more in our latest cover story.

♬ original sound - Entertainment Weekly

“It’s a conceptual delight,” one fan writes. “Fantastic. Unique movie unlike anything I’ve seen before,” another says. “Incomprehensible mess, tries to say something but says nothing by the end,” another shares.

Over in the critics’ corner, you have The New York Times calling the film “entirely heartfelt and yet also relatable, perhaps especially for women who, when confronted with unrelenting monstrousness, need to give birth to their own monsters.” BBC writing, “At times it's as if the film itself was stitched together from the parts of other movies, but collecting all those bits and pieces is a sign of Gyllenhaal's huge scope and ambition.” And TIME calling it “an intellectual joy ride without the joy.” 

No matter the direction of the critique, Gyllenhaal seems to be here for it, as she was while testing her monster picture with audiences in pre-screenings.

“I loved [the test screenings], honestly,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “They were super vulnerable -- so vulnerable, so scary, so living on the fucking edge. But I was like, ‘OK, let’s go.’”

Sharing that she sought a little guidance from fellow filmmakers like Adam McKay (Don't Look Up), Denis Villeneuve (Arrival), and Greta Gerwig (Barbie), Gyllenhaal drops another fun nugget with the publication -- that her film, much like her film's original source material, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, was made on a bit of a dare.

“I was thinking the other day, we say in the beginning of the movie, Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein on a dare,” she says. “This movie is a kind of dare. Can you step into a new language, into a new grammar? Can you try something new? What if it turns you on? What if it excites you in a way that you haven’t felt before? Can you take it?”

Delivered with an A-list cast led by Jessie Buckley as The Bride and Christian Baleas Frank, the film also stars Annette Bening, Jake Gyllenhaal, Penélope Cruz, and Peter Sarsgaard.

Relishing the current awards circuit alongside The Bride!’s opening, the Entertainment Weekly cover girl is the front-runner for Best Actress at next Sunday's Oscars.

Buckley's tour-de-force performance in Chloé Zhao's Hamnet has already raked in a Golden Globe, BAFTA, and SAG award. And now, she's just waiting on the Oscars to say, "I do" think you're the best, too.

Will Reeve Shares Emotional Message Marking 20th Anniversary of Mom Dana's Death

Fri, 03/06/2026 - 12:01pm

Will Reeve is carrying on his mom's legacy two decades after her death.

On Friday, March 6, the Good Morning America reporter and son of famous actor Christopher Reeve honored the 20th anniversary of his mom Dana Reeve's death.

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

In a heartfelt message shared to Instagram, Will, 33, shared a throwback photo of him and his mom, while writing in the caption, "20," to mark the years since her death.

Dana, who had been married to the Superman actor for 17 years, died at the age of 44 on March 6, 2006 just months after she was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. She was preceded in death by her husband, who died from heart failure at age 52 in 2004.

In honor of his mom, Will asked fans to consider donating to the Reeve Foundation or the Lung Cancer Research Foundation in memory of Dana.

View this post on Instagram

"If you’d like to honor my mom today, or any day, please consider @reevefoundation, @lungcancerresearchfoundation, or any organization or cause that means something to you," Will wrote, before also offering his followers a way of honoring his mom's memory that doesn't require a donation.

"Or just be kind and compassionate and full of life and love," he suggested.

Will was only 12 years old when his father died and just 13 years old at the time of his mother's death. Will was the pair's only child together, though Christopher also had two older children, Matthew, 46, and Alexa, 42, from his previous relationship with Gae Exton.

United Airlines Passenger Reacts Badly to New Headphones Rule

Fri, 03/06/2026 - 11:57am

On Feb. 27, 2026, United Airlines quietly rolled out a new rule that would allow the company to remove passengers from if they failed to wear headphones or earbuds while using their devices to listen to audio or video content. And while a grateful nation rejoiced, there were apparently a few passengers who didn't get the memo.

Now, less than a week into the new rule, everyone has gotten a firsthand view of how United Airlines is handling those who don't comply after a woman was filmed arguing with the flight crew about a short video she watched while preparing to take off for a recent flight. Spoiler alert: The airline isn't messing around when it comes to the peace of its passengers.

This is the moment a lady was removed from a flight after not complying with new headphone rules. #Aviation #Planes #Travel #News #Viral

♬ original sound - The Sun A Woman Was Kicked Off a Recent United Airlines Flight Over New Headphone Rule

A United passenger is going viral after appearing to be the first person to be kicked off of a United flight for not following the airline's new rule about headphone use. The video was shared to TikTok by The Sun on Mar. 6. In it, a woman can be heard loudly cursing and yelling at the flight crew about her "30 second" video.

The expletive laden video appears to begin after the woman had already been made aware of the airline's new rule. At this point she seemed very upset about being chastised for listening to a short video before the plane even took off, telling the crew that she "paid money for it." The video then cuts to a scene that took place moments later, when she appeared to be fighting with fellow passengers before saying, "go ahead and call the police."

Predictably, the police show up in the next time jump, and the passengers erupt in applause and cheers after the woman is removed from the flight.

People Are Glad to See United Enforcing the Rules

Much like the passengers on the plane, the comments on the clip appeared to be full of people cheering the airline on for cracking down on those nuisance passengers. "Good, I hate people disturbing others," one person wrote alongside a thumbs up emoji.

"That shouldn’t even have to be a rule, people should just know that stuff as a common courtesy," another person chimed in.

United Airlines Flyers Now Have to Wear Headphones While Using Audio Devices

I can usually find a little sympathy for passengers, because traveling can bring out the worst in even the best people sometimes thanks to the high stress nature of it all. However, it's hard to feel bad for people who are actively disturbing the peace of those around them, especially when they appear to be aware that it's in violation of the rules, like the woman in the video was.

If you want to make sure you're not the next passenger to the get the boot from United, make sure that you review the changes to the Contract of Carriage Document that appears on the airline's website. Not only will you find the new rule, which requires passengers to use headphones or earbuds while listening to any audio on their devices, but all the other things the airline expects of its passengers, which includes rules surrounding things like:

  • Baggage
  • Travel documents
  • What happens during flight delays and cancellations
  • How to file customer service complaints
  • Service animals

Otherwise, you may find yourself grounded like this woman did.
