Queen Latifah is making sure her fans know she's alive and well, after a death hoax rumor began circulating online earlier this week. The Beauty Shop actor posted a video on her social media confirming there's nothing wrong with her health.

Death hoax rumors have a way of gaining traction online, and Queen Latifah couldn't stay quiet about her own. On March 5, the actor posted a short video on her Instagram to tell fans not to believe everything that's posted online and to simply prove she's alive.

"Good morning! It's me, Latifah," Queen Latifah, 55, said in the clip. "I'm 100% a-ok," she said. "Can't believe what you read on the internet or see. Can't believe nothin' now, right? I'm good. Peace."

She later posted another video of herself in her car, sporting metal aviator glasses and listening to music, to once again tell fans the hoax they saw on Facebook is "fake." The actor appeared in good spirits and danced to the beat of the song playing. Many fans came to her support to show to Queen Latifah with heartfelt comments.

"So glad I didn’t see something. That woulda taken me out. Love you," said one fan under the video.

"Whew lawd she so fine. idk what happened but I'm glad it didn't reach me and you're ok," said another.

Actor Chester Gregory also commented on her latest video, saying, "That smile!!!! We love to see it Queen!!!!" Janelle Monae also posted a quick message, saying, "My sister !!!!"

Some fans said they hadn’t even heard about the death hoax the actor is now denying — and were relieved they hadn’t, instead using the moment to show their support for her. Queen Latifah hasn't revealed any issues with her health, but did openly speak about going through menopause in an interview with People.

She spoke about visiting her gynecologist two years ago and being "shocked" to learn she was going through menopause after not having experienced symptoms. The Equalizer actor does reveal that she feels "in control when it comes to this."

After a long week, when Friday rolls around, there isn't always much energy left for making dinner. And if you have kids who would happily eat chicken nuggets every night of the week, Sam's Club has something new in stores that can shake up the routine while still keeping things simple.

Even better, it fits right into Meatless Fridays.

The warehouse retailer is now carrying Safe Catch Breaded Fish Nuggets, a frozen seafood option made with wild-caught pollock. The nuggets come in a 2-pound family-size box and cook up quickly in either the oven or an air fryer, making them an easy option for weeknights when time is short.

You can see the latest heat-and-serve freezer find in a March 5 TikTok from @samsclubfinds2:

@samsclubfinds2

Sam’s Club find March 5 🛒✨ Safe Catch just dropped their FIRST frozen product — Fish Nuggets made with wild-caught Alaskan Pollock! 🙌 ✔️ Tested to a strict mercury limit ✔️ 18g protein per serving ✔️ Sugar free ✔️ No seed oils ✔️ Nothing artificial Better-for-you nuggets are officially in the freezer aisle at Sam’s Club nationwide 👏 #safecatchfishnuggets @Safe Catch #samsclub #samsclubfinds #safecatch

Safe Catch may already be familiar to shoppers who buy canned tuna or salmon. The company is known for testing its seafood for mercury levels, and this frozen product expands the brand's lineup into the freezer aisle.

Safe Catch Fish Nuggets Bring a Cleaner Twist to a Familiar Favorite

The nuggets are made with wild-caught pollock and coated in a light breading designed to deliver the classic crispy bite people expect from nugget-style foods. According to the brand, each serving contains 18 grams of protein, making them a filling option that still cooks quickly.

One detail that stands out for many is the ingredient list. The nuggets are made without seed oils, artificial additives, or fillers, and instead use avocado oil and plant-based ingredients in the breading.

The cooking process is straightforward as well. In the air fryer, the nuggets cook at 400°F for about 10 to 11 minutes.In a conventional oven, they bake at 425°F for about 18 to 20 minutes, with a quick flip halfway through.

These fish nuggets work well for quick dinners, after-school snacks, or casual weekend meals when you want something warm and crispy with minimal effort.

For anyone trying to mix up the usual rotation, Safe Catch's fish nuggets are an option that's still familiar enough for kids while adding a little variety to the menu.

So when Friday night rolls around, and dinner needs to come together fast, an option like this one at Sam's Club can be a welcome change.

Jonathan and Ana Rivera Towns placed third on season 37 of The Amazing Race.

Now, the couple is suing the network for $8 million over claims that producers weaponized Jonathan's undiagnosed autism to portray him as a villain. The San Bernardino County residents filed the complaint on March 4 in Los Angeles Superior Court. The lawsuit names Worldrace Productions, Paramount Global, CBS Broadcasting, ABC Signature Studios and Jerry Bruckheimer Films. The couple is representing themselves and claiming defamation and false light invasion of privacy.

A Post-Show Diagnosis

The core of the lawsuit centers on a recent medical discovery.

Since filming wrapped, three independent licensed professionals diagnosed Jonathan with autism spectrum disorder. The couple alleges producers watched him experience severe neurological episodes on camera and failed to offer medical assistance. Instead, they claim the footage was edited to make him appear abusive to his wife.

The filing states Jonathan exhibited episodes of acute emotional dysregulation, autistic meltdown, behavioral shutdown, sensory overload, involuntary dissociation and prolonged weeping during the 33-day shoot in May and June of 2024. Neither Jonathan nor Ana knew he had autism at the time. The complaint alleges that no licensed mental health professionals were made available to the cast during production.

What Made the Final Cut

The court documents highlight specific footage producers allegedly chose to ignore. The couple claims the network cut footage of Jonathan crying in concern while Ana completed a skydiving challenge in Leg 6. A warm embrace in Leg 3 and cheerful interactions with locals in Leg 7 were also scrapped.

In contrast, the complaint alleges that other contestants had their conflicts quietly buried. The filing claims multiple people witnessed cast member Lori Thompson physically shove another contestant during Leg 5, but the incident did not air. Contestants Han and Holden were also recorded raising their voices at each other during Leg 10, which was also cut. The lawsuit argues that Jonathan's difficult moments were centered across multiple episodes under a standard applied to no one else.

Public Backlash and Requested Damages

The legal filing also targets show host Phil Keoghan. The complaint alleges Keoghan made unprecedented public statements calling Jonathan "tough" on his wife. It further claims a single publication ran 13 negative articles about Jonathan over the course of the season in a coordinated effort.

In addition to the $8 million in compensatory damages, the couple is seeking punitive damages and a formal written public apology. They also requested a court injunction to force producers to either re-edit the season or add disclaimers on all streaming platforms.

CBS and Paramount did not respond to requests for comment.

Rock legend Cyndi Lauper is making it very clear who she thinks deserves a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, and fans of The Black Crowes are loving the support.

In a recent Instagram Reel, the 2025 Rock Hall inductee, 72, enthusiastically backed the iconic rock band’s nomination, urging fans to rally behind the group as this year’s induction voting continues.

Lauper, whose own long-awaited induction into the Hall was celebrated by fans and fellow musicians alike, didn’t hold back in showing her admiration.

"Congratulations! Put that champagne on the ice! You're a rock band! A classic!" Lauper boasts in the video. "Who don't love ya? I do!"

"Thanks for the love Cyndi… right back at ya!," The Black Crowes account captioned the post.

For many rock lovers, it’s hard to argue with her take.

"Keep that positive vibes and happiness!" one fan commented.

"So sweet and she’s correct," another chimed in.

Formed by brothersChris and Rich Robinson, The Black Crowes became one of the defining rock bands of the early ’90s thanks to their blues-infused sound, gritty vocals and unmistakable swagger. Their breakout debut album, Shake Your Money Maker, spawned hits like "Hard to Handle" and helped reintroduce a classic rock energy to a new generation.

Now, decades later, the band is still going strong, and arguably more visible than ever.

The Rock Hall nomination arrives at a particularly busy moment for the group. The Black Crowes are preparing to release their highly anticipated new album, A Pound of Feathers, arriving March 13. The record follows their 2024 GRAMMY-nominated album Happiness Bastards, which marked a major creative comeback for the band and reminded longtime fans why they fell in love with the group in the first place.

The band is also gearing up for a massive tour that will see them headlining shows across the country, along with several high-profile dates supporting Guns N' Roses — a pairing that feels tailor-made for rock fans who still crave big guitars and arena-level energy.

With a new album on the way, a major tour ahead and one of rock’s most recognizable voices publicly championing them, the timing of their Rock Hall nomination couldn’t feel more fitting.

Now the big question is whether voters—and fans—will agree with Lauper and help push The Black Crowes across the finish line.

You Can Customize Each Bite

Part of the appeal is how customizable it can be. While it is tasty on its own, some people like to add toppings to make it even heartier. A drizzle of hot honey adds a sweet-and-spicy kick. Others suggest adding buffalo chicken or barbecue chicken for extra protein. Pairing it with a fresh salad and a simple dressing can round out the meal and balance the carbs with greens.

Because this item is offered as an Aldi Find, it will only be available while supplies last. That limited availability is part of what makes shoppers look forward to it each year. If you want to try it again or experience it for the first time, it is best to grab one soon before it disappears from shelves.

Whether you are feeding a family, hosting friends or just craving something cozy, this returning favorite delivers convenience and comfort in one box.

Just off the Southern California coast lies one of the most surprising camping destinations in the United States. While millions of travelers crowd into places like Yosemite National Park or Joshua Tree National Park each year, the rugged islands of Channel Islands National Park remain a quieter frontier.

Accessible only by boat or small plane, this remote park feels more like a wilderness expedition than a typical California getaway. When I first learned about camping there, the idea sounded almost mythical. A national park with sea cliffs, dolphins in the surrounding waters, and campsites overlooking the Pacific, yet without the crowds that dominate many iconic parks. Outdoor travel outlets have highlighted the park as one of California’s best camping destinations, largely because of its remote landscapes, wildlife encounters, and the feeling of stepping into a place that has remained largely untouched by modern development.

Channel Islands National Park is renowned for its large number of complex, beautiful sea caves, vast array of marine life and incredible views that not many people get the chance to see. Highly recomend booking a trip, the islands include guided tours/ snorkeling/ hiking and camping.explorecalifornia california peaceful wildlife marinelife wildlifephotography photography fox nationalpark travellife travelbucketlist hiking views vibes traveltiktok explore kayak seacaves dolphins

♬ Outro - M83 Why Channel Islands National Park Is One of California’s Best Camping Destinations

The park consists of five islands scattered across the Pacific Ocean, each with its own campground and terrain. According to the National Park Service, camping is available year round on all five islands including Anacapa, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, San Miguel, and Santa Barbara. Each island has a single established campground, making overnight stays limited and special.

Unlike many mainland parks, there are no hotels, restaurants, or stores waiting at the trailhead. Once you arrive, you carry your gear to the campsite and rely on what you brought with you. Campgrounds are primitive with simple facilities like picnic tables and pit toilets. In many cases, campers must bring their own water and pack out all trash.

That level of simplicity is exactly what draws travelers here. The islands sit within a protected marine ecosystem spanning roughly 1,470 square miles of ocean waters, creating a haven for marine life, seabirds, and rare island species. Hiking trails weave across coastal bluffs and volcanic ridges, offering sweeping views of the Pacific that feel more remote than Southern California usually allows.

Camping on a Remote Island: What the Experience Is Really Like

Planning a camping trip to Channel Islands requires more preparation than most national park visits. Unlike driving into a park entrance, visitors must first book transportation by boat or private vessel, often departing from Ventura Harbor on the mainland. Campsite reservations are required and typically open up six months in advance, which means popular weekends fill quickly.

Once the boat pulls away from the harbor, the experience begins to feel very different from a typical camping trip. Dolphins frequently appear alongside the ferry, and during migration seasons it is possible to spot whales passing through the channel. By the time the islands rise out of the water, the mainland skyline has faded behind you.

The campsites themselves are intentionally simple. Some, like Scorpion Canyon on Santa Cruz Island, sit within walking distance of dramatic coastal viewpoints. Others require steeper hikes from the landing area, adding a sense of expedition to the arrival. With no cars and almost no infrastructure, the islands quickly settle into a quiet rhythm defined by ocean wind, seabird calls, and the sound of waves below the cliffs.

Wildlife, Coastal Views, and Outdoor Adventures Beyond the Tent

Camping here is only the beginning of the adventure. The islands are known for their wildlife, including the tiny island fox that exists nowhere else on Earth. Bald eagles, seabirds, and migrating whales also make regular appearances depending on the season.

Many visitors spend their days hiking coastal trails that climb to dramatic viewpoints above the Pacific. On islands like Santa Cruz, trails lead to places such as Cavern Point where cliffs plunge down toward turquoise coves. These vantage points often feel astonishingly empty compared to similar coastal landscapes on the mainland.

The surrounding waters also offer some of the best kayaking and snorkeling in California. Sea caves carved into the cliffs create surreal paddling routes, while underwater kelp forests attract sea lions and colorful fish. Because the surrounding waters are protected within a marine sanctuary, marine life thrives in ways that surprise first-time visitors.

Best Places to Camp in Channel Islands National Park

• Scorpion Canyon Campground (Santa Cruz Island): The park’s most popular campground offers easy access to coastal hiking trails, sea cave kayaking, and scenic viewpoints like Cavern Point, with basic amenities including potable water and picnic tables.

• Water Canyon Campground (Santa Rosa Island): Located about 1.5 miles from the pier, this campground sits near rolling coastal hills and beaches and is one of the few places in the park where campers can access potable water.

• Cuyler Harbor Campground (San Miguel Island): One of the park’s most remote camping spots, this dramatic bluffside campground overlooks the Pacific and offers opportunities to see massive colonies of seals and sea lions nearby.

• Anacapa Island Campground: Perched along the island’s cliffs, this small campground delivers sweeping ocean views, easy access to the historic lighthouse, and excellent seabird watching.

• Santa Barbara Island Campground: This quiet campground sits above the island’s landing cove and offers panoramic ocean views along with hiking trails that circle the entire island.

• Del Norte Backcountry Campground (Santa Cruz Island): Reached by a challenging hike from Prisoners Harbor, this secluded campground offers a more rugged wilderness experience surrounded by oak groves and coastal views.

You can grab the four-pack of Trader Joe's snack shelf for $2.99. And don't forget the fixins for dirt cups, because this pudding is perfect topped with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and colorful gummy worms.

Sissy Spacek will always be associated with her role in the legendary horror film Carrie, but we think the beloved actress is absolutely perfect in 2026.

Spacek, 76, had her breakthrough role in Brian De Palma's horror classic, Carrie, based on the Stephen King novel of the same name. The story of a shy girl who suffers from relentless bullying at school and develops telekinesis went down in film history and continues to be a classic to this day. But Spacek's resume is filled with endless additional roles that deserve credit too, from her portrayal of Loretta Lynn in Coal Miner's Daughter to the haunting 2001 film, In the Bedroom. In the last couple of decades, Spacek has delved into television with memorable roles on Bloodline, Big Love, and Castle Rock. More recently, Spacek starred opposite Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson in Die My Love.

Not one to show up on every red carpet, Spacek was spotted in Paris attending the Loewe/Winter 2026-2027 show as part of Paris Fashion Week, and looked every bit the long-haired beauty we know and love. It's hard to believe it's been 50 years since Carrie, but Spacek is clearly thriving.

Who is Sissy Spacek's Lookalike Daughter, Schuyler Fisk?

If you think Spacek's daughter, Schuyler Fisk, looks familiar, that's for good reason. Fisk, 43, is a successful actress and musician in her own right. She got her start playing tomboy Kristy Thomas in 1995's The Baby-Sitters Club, but had her most prominent role in 2002's comedy hit Orange County opposite Colin Hanks and Kevin Kline. Fisk has also released several albums. A dead ringer for her legendary mother, Fisk could easily double as her mom in the '70s.

Where Did Sissy Spacek's Nickname Come From?

Last year, Spacek sat down with Ethan Hawke for a chat for Interview magazine and explained the origin of her name.

"My real name is Mary Elizabeth, and when I started school in first grade, they said, 'Is it Mary or Elizabeth?' I knew at that moment I had to fight for my name because my brothers, whom I idolized...." Spacek explained. "That's a common Southern nickname for girls. In fact, when I was working on Coal Miner's Daughter, and they'd call Sissy on the set, there was a stampede. Every little girl was nicknamed Sissy."

For the global "Disney Adult" community, the wait is finally over. While the Disney Adventure was first announced as a massive expansion into Asia, the first wave of social media reactions and official "first look" details from the ship’s debut in Singapore on March 4 have turned it into a worldwide phenomenon.

From the second guests stepped onboard, the verdict was clear: this isn't just a ship, it's a "dream come true" at sea. Influencers and fans who snagged a spot on the inaugural "first look" sailing have been flooding feeds with footage of the seven themed lands, describing the atmosphere as "electric."

The community reaction reached a fever pitch during the christening ceremony in the Walt Disney Theatre. While the appearance of the Avengers had the crowd cheering, it was the arrival of Robert Downey Jr. that nearly broke the Disney fandom internet. Clips of RDJ’s "thunderous" blessing have been shared thousands of times, with fans obsessed with his description of the ship: "There's an entire amusement park up there. It's bananas." One enthusiast on social media wrote, “I am completely obsessed with San Fransokyo Street... the lantern lighting alone makes the whole space feel warm and inviting.”

It’s not just about the characters, though. Foodies in the fan community are already praising the ship’s sophisticated touch, highlighting the signature Poison Apple cocktail and the inclusion of high-end brands like Bacha Coffee and TWG Tea. After dinner at the Navigator’s Club, one first-look guest noted that the "hospitality was top notch" and the dining experience was "genuinely impressive."

The Disney Parks Blog officially pulled back the curtain on the ship’s "Seven Lands," a layout that mimics the immersive feel of a theme park more than a traditional cruise ship. At the heart of it all is the Disney Imagination Garden, an open-air courtyard that features the first-ever "castle" on a Disney ship. This garden acts as the ship's atrium and is home to the Garden Stage, where fans can catch the Avengers Assemble! show and the high-energy Let’s Set Sail dance party.

For those looking for thrills, Marvel Landing on the upper deck is the place to be. It houses the Ironcycle Test Run, which is not only the first roller coaster on a Disney ship but also the longest at sea, spanning over 820 feet. Fans are already calling it a "game-changer" for cruise entertainment. Meanwhile, families with younger kids are flocking to Toy Story Place, a massive water play area featuring "Woody and Jessie’s Wild Slides" and a "Flying Saucer Splash Zone."

The ship also honors Disney’s newest favorites. San Fransokyo Street brings the world of Big Hero 6 to life with a "Big Hero Arcade" and Baymax Cinemas, while Disney Discovery Reef offers a bioluminescent paradise at night, inspired by The Little Mermaid and Luca. For a more serene experience, Wayfinder Bay offers a tiered outdoor oasis inspired by Moana, where guests can relax by the pool or catch the Moana: Call of the Sea live show.

While the majority of fans are rating the experience an "infinity out of 10," the consensus is that the largest Disney ship ever built is worth the global trek. As one fan put it, "It’s only Day 1 and there is still so much to explore!" With the maiden voyage set for March 10, 2026, the Disney Adventure has officially set a new standard for what a vacation at sea can be.

Nicola Coughlan is speaking up after having experienced body shaming while working on Bridgerton, especially after her leading role in Season 3. The actor revealed why she has "no interest" in being a body positivity activist, and the public response fans had to her nude scenes in the series.

Season3 of the Netflix series finally gave fans a long-awaited friends-to-lovers story between Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Coughlan). While fans were enamored with the passionate storyline, it also led to a slew of online comments, both criticizing and praising Coughlan's nude scenes and weight. It went so far as for Julia Quinn and the showrunners having to publicly explain how Penelope's weight loss is addressed in the season.

In an interview with Elle, Coughlan revealed her true feelings about the intense focus on her weight and how absurd it was for her body type to be considered plus-size.

"You know what was really bizarre was, when I was shooting that series, I was exercising a lot because I knew I had to, so I had lost a bunch of weight – I was probably a size 10 and one of the corsets was a size 8," said the actor. "And then people talked about how I was plus size, and I was like, ‘How f----ed are we that I am the biggest woman you want to see on screen?'"

The actor even recalls an embarrassing moment when a drunk fan ran into her in a bathroom and started to praise the series, but also talk openly about the actor's body. Coughlan found the situation embarrassing, and thought about how it's hard to "work on something for months and months of your life, you don’t see your family, you really dedicate yourself and then it comes down to what you look like – it’s so f---ing boring."

The Bridgerton star soon added that her outlook on body positivity is something that "pisses people off," but her reasoning is based on her own experience. She admits having "no interest" in becoming an advocate or speaking up about it as an actor, and its largley due to it not having been a focal point growing up.

"When I was a kid growing up, I never thought about that. I didn’t look at actors and think about their bodies. So, I actually don’t care. There’s a lot of things I’m passionate about, it’s not one of them… That’s someone else’s thing. It’s not mine," she said.

For Coughlan, she feels very "lucky" to have been a part of two very successful series, Bridgerton and Derry Girls, which is not always a "guarantee." While keeping her stance on body positivity, she does encourage women to get tested for ADHD, and how her own diagnosis has given her "a little more grace" for herself.

"I wanted you to know that I'm still standing and I still have hope," she told them. "I don't know what version of me that will be, but it will be."

“I’m holding onto my faith,” Savannah continued. “I still believe. And as my mom would say, ‘Where else would I go?’”

Additionally, she confirmed that she eventually plans to return to Today. She did, however, not share a date for her return.

“I have every intention of coming back,” she told her Today coworkers. “I don’t know how to come back, but I don’t know how not to. You’re my family. And I would like to try.”

On Feb. 1, the Pima County Police Department (PCSD) launched its search for Nancy, who was last seen at her Catalina Foothills home on Jan. 31. Savannah and her siblings, Annie and Camron, have posted several video messages to the potential captor(s) since then and have received several alleged ransom notes. Most recently, Savannah offered a $1 million reward for any information leading to Nancy’s return.

Those with any information about Nancy’s missing case are advised to contact the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Georgio Poullas just went six minutes on a wrestling mat with one of the most dangerous fighters on the planet. Now, his power broker says the 27-year-old is getting paid like one.

On Thursday, March 5, Poullas' representative Andrew "Andy" Bachman — the CEO of Creators Inc. and BuzzStar — told Sports Illustrated that he brokered "the largest purse ever for a competitive wrestling match" on behalf of Poullas with Real American Freestyle (RAF), the professional freestyle wrestling league that airs on FOX Nation. The outlet reports that while exact numbers haven't been revealed, Bachman noted that speculation places the figure close to seven figures for a six-minute match.

For those unfamiliar, Poullas is a former Ohio state champion who blew up online through his "Take Me Down, Win $1,000" challenge series, where he dares strangers to try to wrestle him for cash. Millions of views later, he's become one of the most-watched wrestling personalities on social media.

That visibility landed him on the RAF 6 card on February 28 in Tempe, Arizona, opposite UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan — a 23-3 fighter ranked No. 2 in the world at 155 pounds who has been repeatedly passed over for a UFC title shot due to a string of controversies, including punching a fan at UFC 300 and headbutting an opponent at weigh-ins. 

The match ended in chaos. While Tsarukyan appeared to win on points, his hand was never raised, and moments later he rushed Poullas and threw a punch after the final whistle, igniting an all-out brawl that sent both camps flooding the mat.

Earlier this week, Poullas sat down with Bachman on his podcast Creators Think to unpack the fallout.

"I broke him in that match and he didn't know what to do," Poullas said. "Wrestlers are supposed to have respect for each other. When you're in the match, you're trying to kill each other, but the second the match is over, it's automatic respect, and fighters should know that."

He also told The Ariel Helwani Show that he's open to fighting Tsarukyan and is pursuing a call with UFC CEO Dana White to make it happen. White, meanwhile, was asked about Tsarukyan's post-match antics at the UFC 326 press conference on Thursday and made it clear the whole situation is off his radar. "I don't give a s*** about any of that stuff," he said. "I focus on my own stuff. That's somebody else's problem, not mine."

Somebody else's problem, maybe. But for the serial entrepreneur behind Poullas, it's very much the opportunity. "RAF is a standup organization run by professionals," Bachman said. "For the first time, elite wrestlers can realistically set their sights on a career after college. That changes everything for the sport."

The modern home is often a battlefield between minimalist aspirations and the inevitable accumulation of daily essentials. Whether it is the kitchen junk drawer that seems to swallow keys and batteries whole, or the bathroom vanity overflowing with skincare bottles, the physical environment profoundly impacts our mental clarity. Finding a sense of order isn't just about hiding the mess; it's about creating a sustainable system that feels intentional. High-quality organization fosters a sense of calm, allowing the architectural beauty of a home to shine through without the distraction of visual noise.

Interior designers frequently emphasize that the materials we choose for storage are just as important as the layout itself. Plastic bins may be useful, but they often lack the soulful, organic texture needed to make a space feel truly lived-in and sophisticated. By integrating natural elements like earth-toned grains and sturdy hardwoods into storage solutions, homeowners can achieve a high-end, "Pinterest-perfect" look that bridges the gap between raw nature and modern efficiency. This shift toward eco-conscious, aesthetically pleasing materials marks a new era in home styling, where every object serves a dual purpose: function and form.

In September 1975, Happy Days was in its third season, and changes were afoot. The ABCsitcom had gone from a filmed single-camera series to a multi-camera comedy taped in front of a live studio audience,  and it had a new opening theme song. The shift of the show was also moving toward Henry Winkler’s Fonzie character, and co-star Don Most’s favorite episode paved the way for it.

In an interview with Woman’s World, Most was asked to name his favorite episode from Happy Days' 11 seasons. The actor admitted that if he had to pick one, his favorite was an episode that featured his character, Ralph Malph, in a bigger role. But it was also a very Fonzie-heavy episode.

“It was the first episode where the storyline really revolved around Ralph,” Most recalled. “There’s this scene where I walk into Arnold’s with a suitcase, and Richie [Ron Howard] asks, ‘Where are you going, Ralph?’ I say, ‘West.’ I was getting the hell out of Dodge.”

“I got really into preparing for that one,” the actor added. “I would go out at night and sneak around alleyways just to get into the mindset of what it felt like to be really scared. I was just so committed to making that moment real."

The episode Most referred to was the second episode of Season 3, titled ”The Motorcycle.” The episode featured a furious Fonzie freaking out after finding that someone wrecked his beloved motorcycle. The culprit was Ralph, who hit the parked bike with his car, and later explained why he stuffed parts of the wreckage into the Cunningham family’s mailbox. “I thought, if I could just hide it…” he explained.

Suddenly, Fonzie’s motorcycle was a new character on Happy Days. “The Motorcycle" episode led right into the iconic two-parter, “Fearless Fonzarelli,” which featured Fonzie jumping his bike over 14 trash cans. From that point on, Fonzie became a much bigger focus on the show, to the point that producers considered changing the name of the show to Fonzie’s Happy Days.

Don Most said producers were good about giving all of the characters' storylines

In an interview with Pop Goes the Culture TV, Most revealed that fans often asked him to name his favorite Happy Days episode.

“It’s tough,”  he admitted. “I'm obviously a little biased and lean towards ones where the episodes really featured my character, because they were really good about that, where once or twice a year, there'd be a script where Ralph was a sort of the central part of the story. So I lean towards those.”

“I guess the closest [to a favorite] was one written by Bill Bickley and his partner at the time, Michael Warren," Mots shared. "And it was the one where somebody had totally demolished Fonzie’s motorcycle, and he was out to get the guy who did it, and it turns out I had accidentally hit it. And then I panicked and I backed up, and I went forward and back, and then I was hiding pieces in the mailbox and all that. And he was out to get the guy, and I was like, ‘Don't kill me!”

Fonzie remained a focus but didn’t get  the title change

The Fonzie character had originally been a side character in Happy Days. and had very few lines. But following episodes such as "The Motorcycle" in Season 3, his popularity soared, and he became a main character for the remainder of the series. Still, producers stopped short of changing the show’s name.

In an interview with Vulture, Howard admitted he threatened to walk if the series became the "Fonzie" show.

“I never, ever challenged what they were doing creatively. It made perfect sense that you’d build this Fonzie character and maximize that,” Howard said of Happy Days producers. “But the optics of now being in a show called Fonzie’s Happy Days, my ego wouldn’t allow for that. I wasn’t bluffing. I would’ve left. And my contract, I’m sure, had no clause connected to titles. …But thank God for great bosses. [Showrunner] Garry Marshall said, ‘If you’re not cool with it …'”

Garth Brooks is mourning the loss of someone who played a profound role in his life. In a heartfelt post uploaded to his website, Brooks, 64, reflected on the personal and lasting influence that former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz had on his career and outlook, describing them as a mentor and guiding presence whose impact he will never forget.

Holtz died on Wednesday, March 4, at the age of 89, according to a statement posted on X. While many remember the legendary football coach for his contributions to the sport both on and off the field, Brooks recalled the time that he got to spend with Holtz back in 2018.

RELATED: Garth Brooks Reveals the Moment That Changed Music for Him: ‘You Can’t Go Back’

According to Brooks' official website, the country music superstar played a historic concert at Notre Dame Stadium. The concert, which kicked off Brooks' Stadium Tour, wouldn't have happened without Holtz. Brooks' show was the first-ever to be played on the field that is dominated by The Fighting Irish.

Holtz—who served as coach for Notre Dame from 1986 to 1996—was very excited to welcome Brooks. In fact, Holtz traveled to Nashville to share the exciting news alongside Brooks.

"'Never Before' is about to happen. To be able to bring all of the enthusiasm and enjoyment to people by having a concert with Garth Brooks, I think, is long overdue. You’ll say, ‘Why didn’t it happen before?'" Holtz told the crowd, according to Brooks' website.

As for Brooks, he said, "Every gig you take, you take it as if you never get to play another gig again. This one fits perfect. They could’ve chose anyone. And I’m very proud for us, I’m very proud for the people that allow us to be an artist, and most of all I’m proud for country music."

The show, held on October 20, 2018, sold out in just two hours. Brooks said that Holtz "played a substantial role [in his] story."

Brooks returned to Notre Dame for a second show on May 7, 2022.

"Holtz is remembered for his enduring values of faith, family, service, and an unwavering belief in the potential of others. His influence extended far beyond the football field through the Holtz Charitable Foundation and the many players, colleagues, and communities shaped by his leadership," his family wrote in a statement. "He is survived by his four children, nine grandchildren, and two great‑grandchildren. Funeral arrangements, including a Mass of Christian Burial at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame, will be announced as details are finalized."

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives'Jessi Draper is finally speaking out after undergoing a number of plastic surgeries.

Earlier this year, the reality star, 33, underwent multiple cosmetic procedures to her face, including an upper and lower blepharoplasty and facial fat grafting.

For weeks, fans have commented on the drastic changes to her face, including swelling that was supposed to subside several weeks post-surgery.

On Thursday, Mar. 5, Draper finally addressed the criticism of her looks—and revealed she's "extremely unhappy" with the results of her procedures.

"I have not talked about my surgeries in a while because I don't want that to be the only thing that I get comments about, and it was really hard because I did get a lot of hate," Draper said via Instagram. "I'm getting so much criticism about my looks, and I want to say— rightfully so, honestly. I want to tell everyone that I am extremely unhappy with my results, and I didn't quite understand what I was getting into."

Draper then explained that she initially asked for the upper and lower blepharoplasty—surgeries that remove excess skin, fat, and muscle from the eyelids—before being convinced to get facial fat grafting, a procedure that uses liposuction to harvest fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs to then inject in the face.

"I just kind of listened to a suggestion, not really understanding what it was, what it would do, what the results were gonna be, what the recovery was gonna be, and I really wish I would have asked more questions," Draper said. "
I wish I wouldn't have done it. I wish I would have said no."

"It was also put in my lips, which I didn't ask for, didn't want," she continued. "
And it's made my lips really lumpy. I have one that dips. I'm getting a lot of comment about my lip filler, and I agree, it looks awful."

The JZ Styles hairstylist then shared she recently got Kybella injections in hopes of breaking down the extra fat in her face and reducing the swelling before revealing the impact her procedures have had on her self-esteem and confidence.

"I'm really insecure. So I just wanted to hop on here and say that I understand that I look really different, and I hate it. 
I really do," she said. "I look back at how I used to look. I watch season 4 [filmed before her procedures], and I'm like, 'Damn, I looked really good,' and I wish I could have seen that."

Draper then said she feels like her last surgery "ruined [her] life" as her job entails being on TV, doing press, and being on camera. She also noted that she's currently filming SLOMW season 5, saying she looks "f--king hideous" the entire season.

"I'm dreading the next season after this one coming out because of how I look," she said. "And it's ruined my career in a sense because I don't feel comfortable doing anything. 
I don't feel comfortable taking opportunities, but I have to. I am trying to push past it. I tried to just be brave and do press, even though I don't feel confident with how I look."

Throughout SLOMW's run, Draper has openly discussed her insecurities and has been forthcoming with fans about all of her cosmetic procedures, which also include a nose job, breast augmentation, and a labiaplasty.

All ten episodes of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 4 premiere on Hulu and Disney+ on Thursday, March 12 at 12 a.m. ET.

Fresh white towels and linens can sometimes feel like a feat only luxury hotels can accomplish—if you’re anything like us, you’ve probably strayed from whites in favor of more forgiving shades like grey or beige despite preferring the high-end aesthetic that only plush white linens offer.

But according to Martha Stewart, keeping your whites white and stain-free is actually a lot easier than most of us think. In a recent post on the Martha Blog, the reigning queen of homemaking breaks down how she and her staff keep her whites looking brand new with a surprisingly simple laundry routine.

Here’s the step-by-step process Martha and her team swear by in order to have the freshest white linens possible.

Martha Stewart’s Bleach-free Routine for Washing Whites

Martha Stewart doesn’t necessarily have a fancy cleaning routine. In her blog post she explains that “the right appliances and the right cleaning products work together to brighten and whiten.” Here’s exactly how she tackles washing whites to ensure a clean and fresh finish every time.

1. Spray Any Stains or Discoloration

Martha starts by examining her linens for any stains or discoloration. She explains that Shout is an effective stain remover that she’s been using for years. “It works by breaking down the stain molecules and restoring a fabric’s original color,” she explains. “Just spray directly onto the stain, rub together gently and let it sit a few minutes before washing.”

2. Don’t Overload Your Washing Machine

Martha swears by her high-end Miele washing machine—but you don’t need a pricey appliance to get similar results. She explains that the key to a good wash is not overloading the machine, which can prevent proper washing.

3. Use Warm Water

She runs her washes on warm rather than hot, explaining that warm water works perfectly fine on everyday loads and gentle staining.

4. Opt for Tide Free & Gentle

Martha’s secret to fresh-smelling and looking linens (and all her laundry) is the Tide Free & Gentle detergent. She doesn’t feel the need to go for fancier or more expensive detergents and simply uses the necessary amount of Tide to get her linens clean.

4. Skip Fabric Softener and Bleach

“I do not use fabric softeners or bleach,” Martha adds. “For me, a high quality detergent alone works best.”

5. Dry Normally—Without Overloading

“Check your dryer’s options, but for a regular load, ‘normal’ drying is usually sufficient to get them completely dry,” says Martha, adding that you’ll want to take care not to overload your dryer once again.

What's So Special About Crumbl Cookies?

Courtesy of Crumbl Cookies

There is a lot of hype around Crumbl Cookies. Not only are they gourmet, but they're also highly coveted and have gone viral thanks to the company's unique strategy of releasing the flavors of the week on social media. All of that makes for a great cookie and a fun brand, but it also makes it expensive too.

Price aside, what Crumbl fans seem to love most is the limited-edition feel each cookie has. If you don't get it now while it's available, it's unclear when you will be able to get it next. Hence, the hype.

How Long Do Crumbl Cookies Last?

Courtesy of Crumbl Cookies

Since Crumbl makes gourmet cookies, they should be kept in the refrigerator where the cookies can stay fresh for about seven days. If you leave them out at room temperature, Crumbl Cookies should last about five days.

The 28 Best Cookies on the Crumbl Cookie Menu, Ranked28. Confetti Cake

Courtesy of Crumbl Cookies

There's nothing wrong with the Confetti Cake Crumbl cookie, but the best way to describe it is this: you can think of it like the pink cake pop at Starbucks. It's fine, it's yummy, but at the end of the day, the only palette it really appeals to is kids. Order it once and then move on to bigger and better flavors. You'll thank us. 

27. Triple Berry Cobbler

Think oatmeal raisin, but elevated. That cinnamon cream cheese frosting and swirl of strawberry, blueberry and raspberry jam bring it up a notch in the best possible way.

26. Texas Sheet Cake

If chocolate fudge was a cookie with pecans sprinkled on top, that's the Texas Sheet Cake. You have to really like chocolate (and think, fudge-y chocolate at that) to make this your go-to order.

25. Carrot Cake 

Courtesy of Crumbl Cookies

With a thick cream cheese frosting and a pecan garnish, anyone who goes for carrot cake will also appreciate the Crumbl Cookie version.

24. Dark Dream

Dark Dream is the best of Crumbl's best decadent flavors. Rife with chocolatey goodness (it is a chocolate cookie stuffed with chocolate chips, after all), it's melt-in-your-mouth good.

23. Cinnamon Roll

The Cinnamon Roll Crumbl keeps it simple with cinnamon brown sugar and cream cheese frosting—a tried-and-true combination that (almost) never fails.

22. Rocky Road

Served warm, this chocolate cookie has marshmallow filling, chocolate chips and almonds. It's a fine enough take on Rocky Road as a flavor, but it'd be easier to chew if the almond pieces were smaller. 

21. Macadamia Nut 

Courtesy of Crumbl Cookies

It's an acquired taste, macadamia nut, but if you enjoy it and prefer white chocolate to milk or dark, you'll love this one.

Related: All OREO Flavors, Ranked

20. S'mores

Apart from looking extremely aesthetically pleasing, the S'mores flavor is full of good stuff: graham cracker texture, milk chocolate chip sweetness and a soft, puffy heaven in the form of a marshmallow.

19. German Chocolate Cake

Rich and filled with ooey-gooey chocolate, the German Chocolate Cake Crumbl flavor is as packed with flavor as one slice of the cake would be. In addition to milk chocolate, you'll taste caramel, coconut, pecan and all-around sweetness. The thing is, if you're not acquainted with German Chocolate Cake before trying this one out, you might find it to be too sweet.

18. Cookie Butter Ice Cream

Featuring the peanut-buttery spread Biscoff, Cookie Butter Ice Cream can be described as a cookie within a cookie on top of another cookie. Meaning: You've got the regular cookie, then it's stuffed with Biscoff cookie butter, then topped with Biscoff cookie butter spread, which is then topped with cookie butter crumbles.

17. Monster

If you're going to go the PB route, just go straight for Ultimate Peanut Butter. The Monster flavor isn't bad (no Crumbl flavor is "bad"), but it has too many things going on. With peanut butter, oatmeal, M&M's, chocolate chunks and brown sugar, it could probably be renamed "Everything But the Kitchen Sink."

16. Classic Pink Sugar

Courtesy of Crumbl Cookies

Crumbl's sugar cookies are vanilla-flavored, chilled and then topped with almond frosting. The only other staple on the menu, the Classic Pink Sugar gets the frosting-to-batter ratio just right, which is probably why so many people with different palettes enjoy it.

15. Ultimate Peanut Butter

Let's just say this Crumbl flavor is for serious PB enthusiasts only.

14. Lemon Poppy Seed

If this is a flavor you tend to gravitate toward, then you're going to like the Crumbl version regardless. With a base of zesty citrus and a shiny almond glaze, it's your favorite muffin upgraded to a cookie.

13. Raspberry Cheesecake

This one is rich with flavor, and thanks to that latter ingredient, Golden Girls approved. Its swirls of raspberry and graham cracker pair sweetly with the ice cream base without being too over-the-top.

12. Key Lime Pie

Courtesy of Crumbl Cookies

With a citrus filling and a graham cracker crust, Crumbl's Key Lime Pie cookie is every bit as tasty as the pie itself.

11. Strawberry Cheesecake

Add "cheesecake" to the end of any flavor, and it's instantly that much better. While a strawberry Crumbl Cookie would be mediocre on its own, Strawberry Cheesecake is as decadent as it is obvious. It's got vanilla cream cheese frosting, strawberry jam and graham cracker cookie.

10. Peanut Butter Creme (Nutter Butter)

The Peanut Butter Creme takes its inspiration from the fan-favorite Nutter Butter and uses pieces of it, too. Though it's similar in design to some of the aforementioned PB-forward flavors on this list, Peanut Butter Creme has a distinct Nutter Butter je ne sais quoi.

9. Snickerdoodle Cupcake

It's your favorite Snickerdoodle cookie recipe, only with a more sugary edge thanks to cream cheese frosting and decadent cinnamon sugar.

8. Honey Cake With Teddy Grahams

Courtesy of Jessica Wrubel

It went viral pretty quickly with TikTokers everywhere trying to get their hands on the cookie covered in Teddy Grahams, but is it really worth the hype? You can read our Honey Cake With Teddy Grahams review for the full effect, but the short version is, "yes."

7. Maple Bacon

This buttermilk cookie is topped with maple frosting, maple syrup and fried bacon bits. It's sweet and savory—the perfect combo of breakfast and dessert all in one.

6. Chocolate Peanut Butter Oreo

Three words that go together beautifully: chocolate, peanut butter and Oreo. This chocolate cookie has Oreo cookie pieces and PB chips oozing out of it. On top? Peanut butter mousse and a mini Oreo to top it off. Tres delicious.

5. Blueberry Crumb Cake

A slightly better version of the Lemon Poppy Seed Crumbl, Blueberry Crumb Cake combines a lemon-flavored graham with blueberry and lemon drizzle. Take our advice and warm it in the microwave a bit before that first bite.

4. Milk Chocolate Chip

Courtesy of Cumbl Cookies

Definitely worth the hype. Known as Crumbl's version of the traditional chocolate chip cookie, Milk Chocolate Chip is a staple on the weekly menu for good reason.

3. Sea Salt Toffee

There is something so perfect about a cookie that's both sweet and salty, which is why this cookie's perfect ratio is what makes it the only flavor better than the classic Milk Chocolate Chip.

2. Brownie Batter

Plenty of chocolate-forward flavors can tip it over the edge into territory that's just too fudgy. But Brownie Batter is the shining example of a chocolate flavor done right without going overboard.

1. Cookie Dough

The Cookie Dough Crumbl cookie is a brown sugar cookie with cookie dough buttercream and chunks of cookie dough pieces. What's not to love?
