Pringles Quietly Drops ‘Tasty’ New BBQ-Inspired Flavor
Pringles is welcoming the summertime vibes early, launching a new limited-edition flavor inspired by a classic cookout meal.
Last year, the iconic brand of potato crisps dished out a special collaboration with Miller Lite that took beer-braised meats to the chip aisle, launching some rather controversial flavors—including Pringles x Miller Lite Beer-Braised Steak, Beer Can Chicken and a Grilled Beer Brat variety. This year, it's reinventing how it offers barbecue-style flavors by nixing the beer and turning up the heat (just ever so slightly).
From the looks of it, the recently spotted newcomer is still turning heads, but instead of dividing fans, it appears to be uniting them. Here's what fans are saying about Pringles new Carolina Pulled Pork BBQ flavor.
Pringles Quietly Drops New Carolina Pulled Pork BBQ FlavorThe new item was spotted on shelves as early as a few days ago, and while the brand itself has yet to officially announce its arrival, Pringles has been seen interacting in the comment section of posts from excited fans sharing the new flavor on social media.

Pringles Carolina Pulled Pork BBQ is available in a standard 5.5-ounce canister that's light blue and features an image of pulled pork with vinegar and what appear to be smears of barbecue sauce across the front. Given the symbolism on the can, we would expect the flavor to be a mash-up of similar flavors found in its Salt and Vinegar, All-Dressed and Barbecue varieties, just with a little added heat as the can is clearly labeled "mild" with a few peppers to indicate some sort of spice component.
According to an official description on the Walmart Business website, the new flavor features a "sweet and tangy" blend of "savory and spicy Carolina BBQ plus cheesy flavors for delicious taste and crunch," and fans are pretty much sold, saying the variety "sounds good."
"Pulled pork pringles sounds tasty 🔥🔥🔥," another applauded before a third cheered, "Those pringles look [fire] 🔥."
"Carolina Pulled Pork is one of the 10 best foods EVER in my life. I grew up on it," someone else shared, hinting that they have high hopes for the flavor.
"These could be sooo good," one more agreed.
View this post on InstagramThose who've tried them say the chips certainly smell like barbecue pulled pork and suggest that they're "really good" and have a little bit of spice to them.
So far, the new chips have been spotted at Walmart, but it's currently unclear if they're exclusive to the retailer. That said, they are limited-edition and given what some reviewers have said, they might be worth going out of your way for—especially if you're typically a fan of barbecue-flavored chips.

Fans Can’t Get Enough of These Sarah Michelle Gellar ‘Cruel Intentions’ Moments 27 Years After Cult Classic
Back in 1999, Cruel Intentions was all the rage, as was its young, hot cast. The movie featured Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon, Selma Blair, and Joshua Jackson.
27 years later, and the cult classic film is still as popular as ever. That was proven on the anniversary of the movie's release, with fans flooding social media to feature some of Gellar’s iconic moments as the deceitful Kathryn.
One of those moments floating around on X features Kathryn delivering an epic monologue to her brother Sebastian, played by Philippe, as she tries to manipulate him in another one of her games.
“Eat me, Sebastian. It’s alright for guys like you and Court to f--k everyone, but when I do it, I get dumped for innocent little twits like Cecile. God forbid I exude confidence and enjoy sex. Do you think I relish the fact that I have to act like Mary Sunshine 24/7 so I can be considered a lady? I am the Marcia f--king Brady of the Upper East Side, and sometimes I want to kill myself. So there’s your psychoanalysis, Dr. Freud. Now tell me, are you in or are you out?” Kathryn declares.
The monologue moment is so good, a fan shared it on X to declare it “iconic” and announce they could never hate Kathryn. One fan commented on the X, agreeing that it was iconic while also expressing that Gellar “nailed” the scene.

Another scene fans can’t get enough of is the end of Cruel Intentions, where Kathryn is speaking at Sebastian’s funeral, only to learn that all of his deepest darkest secrets have been put into a book. Kathryn learns exactly what he thought of her in a chilling moment that has Gellar showing Kathryn's vulnerable side to the character.
The song "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve plays during the ending, making it even more memorable as it went perfectly with Gellar’s performance.
Jane Seymour Looks Positively Ageless at Her 75th Birthday Celebration
Actor Jane Seymour continues to show the world what a life well lived looks like as she forges ahead with 75th birthday celebrations... again!
Seymour's actual 75th birthday was on February 15th—which makes her an Aquarius if you're wondering—but she's stretching out the much-deserved joy for this milestone birthday. Last month, she told People about her lineup of birthday plans, which included a private dinner party hosted by some close friends and a family lunch the day after her birthday. At the time, she also mentioned a "proper small gathering of close friends" that would take place in March.
Well, today's birthday partyInstagram reel from Seymour sure looks like a "proper" gathering, as a few dozen folks sing "Happy Birthday" to the Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman actress and present her with an adorable two-tier cake topped with a glittery 75.
"You're all in my wish," she says to the room full of her loved ones and blows out her candles. Then later she laughs, "My first wish will be for better lungs."
As always, Seymour continues to defy the hands of time. She stuns in a gorgeous red wrap dress.
"Blowing out the candles and feeling incredibly grateful for another year and all of you. 🎂 🫶," Seymour captions the Instagram reel, along with a timely question for her fans. "What is one thing you are grateful for today?"

Fans React to Apple Music's New AI Tagging System: Progress or Just a Start?
On March 4, Music Business Worldwide announced some fascinating news: Apple Music was adding 'Transparency Tags' to its songs. Considering how difficult it's become for many to tell if something was created with AI, this seems like a very progressive and timely decision by Apple. The move was met with applause and hope online.
"This is… better than nothing," one fan wrote on Popbase's Instagram post. "Still, ban it."
"They should make it so if you dont label it ai you get a fine or you get banned," another commented.
Some others agreed it was a start, but thought that it should be taken a step further.
"Calling AI slop music is the start of the problem," wrote one frustrated music lover. "Allowing it to stay and have a platform is just as bad no matter what label u may give it."
The system will cover four separate sections of the content: Artwork, Track, Composition, and Music Video. This means that, if the artist used AI to create either their lyrics or music elements, the tag would be on Composition. If AI is used to create any of the sound recordings, the tag would apply to Track. Likewise, if AI is used to create either the Artwork or Music Video. This means a track could have up to four tags per song.
However, the plan is far from perfect, as it puts the onus on the record labels and music distributors to apply the tags, not Apple Music.
"We believe labels and distributors must take an active role in reporting when the content they deliver is created using AI," Apple said.
In contrast, the streaming app Deezer has begun actively searching for and tagging AI-created music, becoming the only streaming platform to do so. In 2025, it discovered 13.4 million AI-generated songs on Deezer. In January, it began making the tool available to other companies.
"We detect and tag AI-generated music and remove it from algorithmic recommendations, so that our users have a clear choice regarding what to listen to, while making it harder for fraudsters to game the system," Deezer's CEO, Alexis Lanternier, said in a press release.
This Cult-Favorite Pizza Chain Is Opening Over 80 Locations in Massive Expansion
A beloved pizza chain, known for its innovative specialty pizzas, carb-friendlier pizza bowls, and signature deals, is expanding in a major way in 2026.
Marco’s Pizza, which grew by over 60 stores in 2025, is capitalizing on that expansion with plans to open over 80 additional locations in 2026.
Related: This Cruise Line’s Pizza Was Just Recognized as Truly Authentic
The chain, one of the fastest-growing pizza brands in the country, plans to grow its footprint in several ways, primarily by going into new markets domestically, making its claim on international territories by expanding further in places like Mexico and the Caribbean, and opening in nontraditional venues like ghost kitchens.
Ghost kitchens, for the uninitiated, are restaurant operations that prioritize takeout and delivery meals, often by not including a storefront or dining area for guests to eat in-store.

“Marco’s momentum is driven by a commitment to thoughtful expansion and strong franchisee support,” said Gerardo Flores, Chief Development Officer of Marco’s Pizza, in a statement. “As we look ahead, we remain focused on building the infrastructure, technology and innovation needed to support the next phase of growth.”
Part of that innovation and technology growth includes an update on its customer loyalty program as well as an exploration into AI-powered ordering capabilities.

The chain is also looking forward to introducing new product innovation in 2026 under the guidance of Chef Kathleen Kennedy, who prior to leading the charge at Marco’s, held similar culinary leadership positions at other popular chains like Starbucks and Jack in the Box. Kennedy has recently focused on limited-time offerings at Marco’s like the Margherita Magnifico and Triple Pepperoni Magnifico pizzas.
Earlier this year, Marco’s launched another limited-time offer: a heart-shaped pizza to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Customers could get a seasonal one-topping pie for $7.99, or bundle it with brownies for just $13.99.

Ashley shared multiple Instagram stories of people cheering her on for her speech at the altar. She posted two pictures of herself with her father on the big day on Instagram with the caption, "my biggest supporter."
The officiant asked Alex if he will say "I do" first, and Ashley interrupted. "I know your answer, and it doesn't matter to me. I know you don't choose me, and I'm not choosing you either." She said they didn't align after the pods and he didn't put in effort.
"There was no intimacy," she said. "There were no questions you had for me. And I felt like as soon as we moved into the apartment, we were roommates." The day trader nodded. She explained that she was confused by their conversations. "Lying is a non-negotiable for me," Ashley said. Alex's mom looked surprised.

She believed Alex "missed that mark" on having integrity. Alex said he disagreed with her about his integrity. He felt like Ashley didn't understand him. She walked away and asked her dad to help her down the aisle.
It's hard to imagine that the former couple will have more to say to each other. But they do reunite for season 10's reunion, which will be released on March 11 at 9 p.m. EST on Netflix.
‘80s Pop Queen Belinda Carlisle, 67, Makes Waiting at the Airport Look Glamorous in Beautiful Selfie
Belinda Carlisle is so beautiful that she can make something as boring as waiting at the airport look attractive.
The beloved '80s pop icon, 67, who burst onto the scene with her band, the Go-Go’s, with hits like “We Got the Beat” and “Vacation,” also had a successful solo career, marked by hits like “Heaven Is a Place on Earth” and “Mad About You.” These days, Carlisle is still touring like crazy as a successful solo artist and released her new album, “Once Upon a Time in California,” back in August. But in a new Instagram photo, the strawberry-blonde stunner showed us how she managed to make waiting at the airport look glamorous.
"Waiting on a friend here in beautiful Mexico City. #vivamexico🇲🇽 ♥️♥️♥️♥️," Carlisle captioned her photo, which showed the beauty with perfect makeup as she sat near a terminal at the airport.
View this post on Instagram How Much Has Belinda Carlisle Changed Since the '80s?Recently, the iconic singer shared side-by-side photos of herself sitting in the same chair in Mexico City 32 years later. However, the legendary star has barely aged a day.
“Same chair, 32 years later. Photographed in Los Angeles in 1993 for US Magazine and then Mexico City 2025. Leopard print never goes out of style……❤️,” the star shared on her Instagram page.
View this post on Instagram What's Belinda Carlisle's Sobriety Story?In a recent interview with The Sunday Times, Carlisle opened up about her past issues with drugs and alcohol, which continued for many years.
“I thought, I’ll just drink wine, and I won’t do coke. I realised that in order to continue with my career — which was in the toilet — the most important thing was to get sober. I remember playing this little club in Northampton at the end of my drinking and using. There were 12 people in the audience, and my dressing room was a closet for cleaning materials, mops and brooms. I thought, wow. I was able to turn things around, but I wouldn’t have been able to if I had been behaving in the way I was before I got sober,” she recalled.
Now clean and sober, Carlisle still knows how to rock. Here’s a throwback from one of her most legendary tunes:
Sam Heughan Calls Out Jimmy Fallon for 'Outlander' Season 8 Comment: 'Jimmy, How Dare You!'
We don't yet know if Jamie Fraser dies in the final season of Outlander or not, and neither does Sam Heughan.
The subject came up when Heughan appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallonon Wednesday night to promote Season 8 of Outlanderahead of its premiere on Friday, Mar. 6, on Starz. While speaking with Jimmy Fallon about the final season, the subject of spoilers came up, specifically, whether Jamie will die in a battle, as "the internet" claimed.
It all started with Fallon sharing, "The internet is kind of going crazy because there's rumors that your character... they die."
With that declaration, Heughan pursed his lips and looked shocked while the audience jeered loudly. Fallon exclaimed, "The internet said! Not me! The internet!"
View this post on Instagram"Jimmy, how dare you! How could you?" Heughan joked before explaining, "No, I mean in the trailer, we do hear... He gets some information that tells him he's going to die in a battle and yeah, he's obviously not sure if this is true or not, but that is something that he's certainly contending with this season. Yeah."
"Does he die? I don't know. You'll have to tune in and find out," the Outlander heartthrob continued. Then, as the audience reacted in a chorus of laughter, he claimed, "I don't know the ending. I actually don't know the ending."
"You shot multiple endings?" Fallon questioned.
"We shot multiple endings," Heughan confirmed. "I was there. But I don't know how it ends, so I'll be watching with you."
Heughan previously addressed the show's ending with Parade, stating, "“I know Diana’s ending."
"We won’t get all the books done, obviously. We’re only Season 8 and she’s still writing. What I believe is there are going to be multiple endings and we will choose one eventually. We’re going to shoot various endings, but I don’t know which one they’ll use. One of the ideas I’ve been asking for or pushing for is very similar to the way Diana’s book will end," he added.
Ahead of the Outlander Season 8 premiere, Heughan appeared alongside his co-star, Caitriona Balfe, on Monday, Mar. 2 for the premiere party at Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center, New York City.
He wore a modern take on a traditional tartan plaid kilt while she stunned in a red silk lingerie-style slip dress. While posing together for photos, it's easy to see why the on-screen lovers have been "shipped" together for so many years after the series began on Starz on Aug. 9, 2014.
JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Got Married in Georgia's Biggest Hidden Gem—7 Must-See Sites
As viewers make their way through the nine-part limited series Love Story, they are becoming more and more infatuated with the details ofJFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette's relationship. The two were the definition of a power couple, and every moment of their lives was tracked by paparazzi… except for one. Somehow, the two were able to elude the media and "secretly" get married on September 21, 1996.
The special place they tied the knot was on Georgia's wildly underrated Cumberland Island. The remote national seashore is the largest of the barrier “sea islands” in Georgia. It is accessible through the town of St. Marys and is where wild horses roam free along secluded sandy beaches.
It's an idyllic island that hasn't been over-commercialized in the slightest. It is only accessible from St. Marys via a ferry. There are no shops, restaurants, or even trash cans. However, it is a stunning place worth the experience, even if for just a day trip. Here are seven things to see and do on this iconic, little-known island.
@lo._boCumberland Island National Seashore in Georgia is a rare sight to see as no commercial buildings are permitted to be built and most of the land is untouched, protected wilderness. No condos, no hotels, no piers. Just raw organic nature at her finest 🥹 #beach #island #coast #ocean
♬ original sound - 🐠 1. Take a TourThe slow-paced island isn't exactly a mecca of things to do, but the tours help really round out the experience. The one motorized tour is the Lands and Legacies tour and aims to give visitors an experience that allows them to see both cultural and natural landmarks, lasting a full day.
If you prefer to walk or see the island at your own pace, the Footsteps Tour is a 1.5-mile walking tour led by park rangers that takes you to the Dungeness Ruins and offers a robust history.

2. First African Baptist ChurchA humble chapel that has no electricity was actually the exact location the two tied the knot. In a recent exclusive interview with Parade, Rosemarie Terenzio, JFK Jr.'s executive assistant and one of his closest friends, divulged that he insisted they get married there for a very personal reason.
Apparently, when his uncle Bobby Kennedy was shot, the church's deacon raced to tell the island, and they gathered in that church for a service for him. He was so moved that he insisted on having the ceremony there despite the lack of electricity and seating for their 35 guests.
It was established in 1893 and served as a place of worship and community center. You cannot just mosey up to it, though—you need to see it through the Lands and Legacies tour, which takes you to all the island's finest sites.
3. Southend LoopThis hiking trail spans 4.3 miles and is the best way to see all the island's iconic scenery. It winds alongside the waterfront, where you can spot native birds or even dolphins.
Many visitors love to rent bikes and explore the island that way. You'll need to do some prep, though, and arrange a rental from Camden Bicycle Center, as on-island bike rentals are not a thing.
4. Dungeness RuinsWalking through these ruins will give you a glimpse of what life was like in 1884. The Carnegie Dungeness mansion burned in the 1950s, but the ruins are frequently visited by the wild horses that roam the island.
5. Beach DayThe 18 miles of pristine beach are comfortably swimmable from April through September. It's perfect for relaxing or picnicking, and collecting shells, driftwood, sand dollars, and more along the shore.
6. Plum Orchard MansionThis stunning mansion was built by Lucy Carnegie for her son George and his wife Margaret Thaw in 1898. You can tour the historic building—which was donated to the National Park Service in the 1970s—daily as part of the Lands and Legacies tour.
7. Stay at the Greyfield InnThe only accommodations on the island are at the Greyfield Inn, an all-inclusive stay on the remote island. It really is for a person looking to totally unplug.
There, you can have your three meals a day and pay extra for any bar and wine services. The evening dinners are more formal, so make sure to pack nice evening wear.
It also happens to be where JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette had their intimate wedding reception. The inn still offers wedding services for anyone interested.
Overall, the remote and stunning island is made for a slow-paced experience. If you truly need to unplug, this is the weekend trip for you.

Guy Fieri Shares the Time Bobby Flay Roasted His Signature Style
Food Network star Guy Fieri has a trademark style that works for him, and he's never been one to hold back. In a recent podcast appearance, the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives star recalled one of his colleagues giving him a bit of a hard time on his flamboyant style. That colleague was Bobby Flay, and the story prompted some chuckles as he shared it.
During an appearance on Elvis Duran and the Morning Show on March 4, Fieri recalled something Flay said to him years ago. Upon noticing the chef's signature style, Fieri recalled that Flay asked, "So, are you a chef or a jeweler?"
Everybody on the show agreed that sounded just like something that Flay would say, and one person joked that it was a "fair question."
View this post on InstagramNot long ago, Fieri revealed on the show, he had an opportunity to turn the tables on Flay. During a luncheon hosted by Flay, Fieri noted his counterpart was wearing "a big gold chain."
Fieri noted, "I've never seen Bobby ever wear jewelry and I said, I just had to say it, 'Bobby, let me ask a question, 'Now, are you a chef or are you a jeweler?'"
Flay took the comment like a champ, apparently telling Fieri he "deserved that one."
Fieri shared during the podcast that it's always been "my mantra" not to worry about "anybody else's design or expectation." That philosophy came, in part, from Fieri's father, who gave him some key advice early in his career.
His father, who he considered his mentor and "my coach in life," told him "Just go be you." That moment came as Fieri was just embarking on the career Food Network fans know him for today. He pointed out that, especially at the time he was beginning with the Food Network, nobody else had a style like his.
Fieri recalled needing to fly to New York to do his first show. He'd never been to New York before, and he was anxious about leaving because his wife was eight months pregnant with their second son. The day he needed to leave happened to be his dad's birthday, and Fieri remembers admitting to his dad he was quite nervous about the trip.
In addition to his dad telling him to just be himself, Fieri recalled that his father told him, "Don't be anybody that you're not. Don't, as soon as they ask you to do something that's not you, don't do it. Just stay true to who you are."
Fieri has stuck with that advice all these years, meaning he's held onto his style that includes spiky blonde hair, jewelry, and tattoos.

Alysa Liu Says Most People Say Her Name Wrong—Here’s the Right Way
Alysa Liu has been making headlines around the world after her standout performances at the 2026 Olympics. But there’s one small detail many fans have been getting wrong: how to say her name.
During an interview with Newsweek shared on Thursday, March 5, the 20-year-old ice skating champion cleared up the confusion, revealing that even she understands why people sometimes struggle to pronounce it.
“My name is Alisa Liu,” she said, carefully pronouncing it “ah-lee-sa leeoh,” with her last name notably being one syllable.
View this post on InstagramThe explanation came after she was asked about the many different ways broadcasters and fans have said her name throughout her rise in figure skating. According to Liu, there are actually a few variations depending on who’s saying it.

“Yeah, so technically this is how my family says my name,” she explained. “That's technically how you say my name, but Alyssa (pronounced uh-LISS-uh) is how my friends call me, and that's how the world calls me.”
Her last name is where the confusion tends to show up most often. “And then my last name, a lot of people say Liu (pronouncing it lee-ou with two syllables)” she said. “I personally don't care because technically the right way is Liu (leeoh, one syllable), but that can be hard to annunciate"
She added that she doesn’t expect everyone to get it right. “Yeah, I don't expect people to know how to say that.”

However fans say it, Liu has certainly made sure the world knows who she is. Earlier this year, she delivered one of the most memorable performances of the Winter Olympics in Milan, capturing the gold medal in women’s singles. The victory made her the first American woman to win Olympic singles gold since Sarah Hughes in 2002.
The moment was almost surreal for Liu herself. Shortly after the win, she admitted she was still processing the achievement. “I literally can’t process this,” she said after the event.
Heading into the free skate in third place, Liu stunned the crowd at the Milano Ice Skating Arena with a confident, high-energy routine that pushed her to the top of the leaderboard. “The feelings I felt out there were calm, happy, and confident,” she later reflected.
Her individual title came just days after helping Team USA secure gold in the team event—although the medal itself didn’t quite survive the celebration. Liu joked that while jumping up and down afterward, it slipped off the ribbon and ended up scratched and dented.
Award-Winning Filmmaker Celebrates Longtime SNL Creator Upon Trailer Release
If anyone has been interested in the life of Saturday Night Live's showrunner, creator and executive producer, well, they are in luck.
The trailer for a documentary created and directed by Academy Award winner Morgan Neville, following Lorne Michaels and his career, was released on Thursday via Focus Features. Lorne will be out in theaters on April 17.
Michaels, 81, is a Canadian-American producer best known for creating SNL and the executive producer of the Late Night series and TheTonight Show since 2014. As the producer for SNL since its premiere in 1975 (minus when he took a five-year break in the 1980s), he has received 24 Primetime Emmy Awards from 112 nominations, holding the record as the most nominated individual in the award show's history.
SNL is currently in the middle of its 51st season, and celebrated its 50th anniversary on Valentine's Day weekend last year.

The trailer that was posted on X showed snippets of old SNL sketches, along with clips of Michaels sitting down for the rare interview. In addition, many former SNL cast members, friends of the producer and comedians were featured, including Paul Simon, Kristen Wiig, Tina Fey, Seth Meyers, Colin Jost, Conan O'Brien and Steve Martin.
The untold story of the legend behind the legends.

Micheals was born and raised in Toronto, Canada, and graduated with a degree in English from the University of Toronto in 1966. He started his career as a writer and broadcaster for CBC Radio before moving to Los Angeles with Hart Pomerantz to work as writers for Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In and The Beautiful Phyllis Diller Show. Two years later, they returned to Canada to star in The Hart and Lorne Terrific Hour, a series of comedy specials that ran on CBC.
In 1973, Michaels returned to the United States to write for The Burns and Schreiber Comedy Hour. His work there earned him his first Emmy Award and drew the attention of Lily Tomlin, which eventually led to his hiring by NBC to create Saturday Night Live 51 years ago.
Along with the help of Pomerantz, fellow NBC employee Dick Ebersol and president of the network Herb Schlosser, Michaels debuted Saturday Night on Oct. 11, 1975, with host George Carlin and musical guests Billy Preston and Janis Ian. The name was changed to Saturday Night Live by 1977. The show, performed live in front of an audience at 30 Rockefeller's Studio 8H in New York City, immediately established its reputation as unpredictable and became a vehicle for launching the careers of some of the most successful comedians.

Lorne is not the first attempt to tell the producer's story. Jason Reitman's movie Saturday Night, followed Michaels (Gabriel LaBelle) the night of the show's premiere in October 1975. The film had a limited theatrical run on Sept. 27, 2024, before its wide release by Sony Pictures on October 11, the 49th anniversary of SNL's premiere.
Michaels has so far not commented on Reitman's film, but some original cast members, like Laraine Newman, talked about their thoughts on Saturday Night. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter back in December 2024, Newman told the publication what actually happened versus what didn't that night in October 1975. Newman was portrayed by English actress Emily Fairn.
"The whole ice skating thing with John [Belushi] and Gilda [Radner] — that never happened. The fight between John and Chevy [Chase] never happened. However, it is true that John didn’t sign his contract until the last minute!" Newman recalled. "But I understand. I love Jason Reitman, and he’s so talented."
Laraine Newman attends SNL50: The Anniversary Special on February 16, 2025, at 30 Rockefeller Center in New York City.Lorne will be out in theaters this spring on April 17. Fans can watch the trailer for Neville's documentary here.
A new episode of SNL will air this Saturday at 11:30 pm ET on NBC and Peacock, with Ryan Gosling as a host and Gorillaz as the musical guest.

Reese Witherspoon's Cult Classic Teen Romance Premiered 27 Years Ago Today
Cult classic movies often become fan favorites years after their initial release, and the 1999 film Cruel Intentions celebrated another anniversary, having premiered 27 years ago to the day. Ryan Phillippe, Sarah Michelle Gellar,Reese Witherspoon, and Selma Blair cemented themselves in the Hollywood spotlight with the teen romance drama.
In the late 90s, Phillipe and Gellar were already at the forefront of their careers, having both starred in the horror classic I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Gellar starring in Scream 2, All My Children, and the infamous Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Blair and Witherspoon were still up-and-coming actors, with Witherspoon having gotten recognition for her role in Fear a few years before.
Cruel Intentions is a modern retelling of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos' 1782 novel Les Liaisons dangereuses, and was set in New York City among the elite and high schoolers. It started as an independent film, with the cast receiving praise and making $75 million at the box office.

It focuses on wealthy teenager Sebastian Valmont (Phillippe), who's notorious for secuding woman for her own personal amusement. He sets his sights on the daughter of his new school headmaster and makes a bet with his stepsister. If he loses, she gets his vintage Jaguar, and if he wins, he finally gets to sleep with his stepsister. The film soon creates a manipulative story that turns a bet into unexpected true love.
Among critics, Cruel Intentions received mixed reviews, but its future cult classic status led it spawn a media franchise. A prequel was released in 2000, and later a standalone sequel in 2004. In 2015, a jukebox musical was developed, and an Amazon TV series was developed in 2024.
The movie also became known for Witherspoon and Phillipe having already been dating during the filming of the movie. They met in 1997 at her 21st birthday party, married in 1999, and divorced in 2006.
Burned Out? A New Survey Says Visiting Spain Is Basically Medicinal
According to a new report on wellness tourism, Spain has emerged as the top destination for travelers seeking a rejuvenating retreat this year. With burnout rates on the rise across all corners of the globe, more people are prioritizing trips that focus on self-care and holistic healing.
Research conducted by the supplements brand Ben's Natural Health examined over 40 countries, evaluating six key factors: the number of retreats, digital detox resorts, and sauna facilities in each country, as well as hotel costs, week-long retreat prices, and safety. By comparing these indicators, researchers identified which countries provide optimal conditions for wellness tourism.
Overall, Spain achieved a Restorative Travel Index score of 80.8, a measure combining its impressive wellness infrastructure, accessible pricing, and general safety.
Spain offers 621 retreats centered on yoga, meditation, and holistic healing practices. These retreats cater to those looking to restore their physical and mental health, providing a wide range of experiences from guided meditation sessions, sound baths, and spa treatments to nutrition-focused programs and movement therapies.
For those seeking digital detox, Spain offers 75 dedicated resorts where guests can unplug entirely, fostering a deeper sense of presence and purpose. The country's sauna culture further enhances its appeal, with roughly 350,000 facilities providing travelers with the opportunity to unwind and detoxify.
Cost is also a factor that makes Spain highly attractive to wellness-minded travelers. A typical seven-day wellness retreat costs around $1,400, which strikes a balance between high-quality offerings and reasonable pricing. It's the second most cost-friendly destination on the list's top 10, behind only India ($940, on average) and just below (but pretty on par with) its neighbor, Portugal ($1.43k, on average). Meanwhile, Spain's safety rating of 62.4 is sufficient to ensure travelers feel secure while exploring the country's diverse regions.
Among some of the most popular regions for a retreat in Spain is Andalucía, particularly the Costa de la Luz and Costa del Sol—from Cadiz and Conil de la Frontera to Tarifa and Malaga. This area is world-renowned for its long, pristine beaches, perfect for yoga in the sand and mindful morning walks. Retreats here often combine surf lessons or horseback riding with meditation, breathwork, and holistic nutrition workshops, allowing visitors to recharge both mind and body while enjoying the warm, relaxed Andalusian vibe. Local wellness centers also offer immersive programs in mindful movement, such as through sensual bachata or flamenco-inspired dance therapy, both of which hail from the south of Spain.
Heading north, the Basque Country and Cantabria regions provide a completely different wellness experience. Surrounded by lush green mountains and rugged coastlines, retreats in cities like San Sebastián and towns like Santander focus on nature-based healing. Guests can explore guided forest walks, thermal spa treatments, and mindfulness retreats overlooking the Bay of Biscay. Northern Spain is ideal for travelers seeking restorative travel in cooler climates, with wellness programs that emphasize hiking and digital detoxing in serene natural surroundings.
Across Spain, diverse regions illustrate the country's versatility in wellness tourism. Whether you prefer the sun-drenched sands of the south, the forested tranquility of the north, or the coastal charm of the east, there's a retreat to suit every type of restorative traveler.
Its abundance—combined with its modern wellness amenities, easier-on-the-wallet pricing, and overall sense of calm—makes Spain well-positioned as the premier choice for travelers prioritizing health and wellness in 2026.
Uniqlo Is Selling a Classic Spring Layer That's So Stylish, Shoppers Are Ditching Other Brands
Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.
With spring just around the corner, warmer weather ahead and plenty of reasons to venture outdoors while dressed to impress, it's nice to know your local Uniqlo has a way to elevate your favorite seasonal fits. And just as every other brand is vying for your attention with an assortment of new spring-ready pieces, Uniqlo reminds us all that you simply can't beat a timeless classic.
Perfect for those transitional days when the weather can't make up its mind, and ready to upgrade your wardrobe with a layer that will never go out of style, Uniqlo's Denim Trucker Jacket is a must-have in your daily rotation. With a striking appearance, a casual fit, and an affordable price point that doesn't scream cheap, it's a worthy $70 investment in year-round style and comfort.
Denim Trucker Jacket, $69.90 at UniqloAvailable in store and online in light blue and dark blue, the unisex Denim Trucker Jacket transcends gender barriers with a classic, easy-to-style design that's ready for everyday wear and seasonal layering alike. It's made from 100 percent cotton denim with a slub texture, meaning it comes stock with a naturally worn-in look that doesn't require a long break-in period to look and feel its best.
With a moderately relaxed silhouette and a slightly shorter length, it's a great fit for a wide range of body shapes and heights. It's not so long that shorter folks feel tiny in it and not so short that it throws off your casual, yet practical style either. That said, Uniqlo recommends pairing it with wide-leg bottoms, straight-leg jeans or relaxed pants, though we'd challenge anyone to find a scenario where it doesn't complement an existing everyday fit with ease.
As for sizes, online availability is moving quickly. In both colors, sizes XS–XXXL should be available both in-store and online, though it appears anything above XL has already sold out on the website. And for good reason, this jacket is thoughtfully constructed to support comfortable movement, making it great for mild to cool weather, whether it's worn over a T-shirt, long-sleeve top or light sweater.
Paired with carefully designed features like button details, two-tone stitching, a patch pocket on the left chest and side seam pockets at the hips for practical storage, it's no wonder shoppers have expressed zero hesitation choosing Uniqlo over other denim jacket brands.
"It fits super nice and I like that it's not too long," one fan wrote in a review. "It's very comfortable to wear and I love the amount of pockets." Another added, "It's a great alternative for other brands of denim jackets."
One fan chimed in to call the jacket "stylish," noting it's made with "good material" as well. "I had no trucker jacket, so I was looking for one. I considered other brands, but Uniqlo has it. So why not?"
And why not indeed. As we ditch our winter layers, this jacket emerges as a welcome update to your everyday style, one that's easy to wear for any occasion and bound to earn plenty of positive feedback from friends and strangers alike.
If you like what you see, snag one while your size is still available. And while you're at it, check out Uniqlo's sleek, stylish deck shoes and ultra-cozy, lightweight sweater for more must-have seasonal essentials.
