Tutoring, babysitting, meal prep, bookkeeping, flipping furniture, there are so many creative options.   And don't underestimate the value you already bring to your family. Finding deals, meal planning, and managing the household can save your family thousands every year. #sahm #sidehustle #sidehustleideas #extraincome

♬ original sound - Rachel Cruze Rachel Cruze Shares Some Side Hustle Ideas for Stay-at-Home Moms

Looking to earn extra money? Cruze has got some great ideas for you! She shared a few of them in a TikTok video on June 4, 2026, telling her followers that the best way to "earn extra income" is to do the things you're already good at.

Her list included things like:

• Music lessons
• Tutoring
• Babysitting
• Bookkeeping
• Meal prep for families

And while most of these ideas are geared toward moms who already do these things with their own kiddos, they are also tasks many seniors may enjoy taking on.

Of course, her suggestions didn't end there, and she shared some ideas that would allow people to make money off of the things they already have—like selling things on Facebook Marketplace or renting out things that you're no longer using—and ones that would allow you to get those creative juices flowing, like flipping furniture.

People Shared Their Own Tips in the Comments

Cruze's fans were quick to share their own success stories in the comments. "I make an extra six to eight grand a year putting planters together for people," one person wrote. "It’s fun, and people love to outsource that."

"My mom always worked the elections as well," another person wrote, noting that some places pay $200 for a single day's work.

"I run a laundry business from our home, my kids go with me for pickup and deliveries," yet another person wrote. "It has been a blessing, and I feel so good being able to pay for my son's therapy and taking something off my husband's plate!"

Do You Have to Report Side Hustle Income

While it's clear that there's a lot of money to be made with some of these suggestions—like the woman who makes a few thousand dollars a year creating planters for people—that extra money can have tax implications.

According to the IRS website, gig work (another name for these side hustles) must be reported each year. The IRS has a page fully dedicated to this type of income, and you should carefully review it before getting started.

Those retirees who are collecting Social Security should also be aware that earning additional income may affect their benefits, but only for those who haven't reached full retirement age yet. Those who have (currently 67 for anyone born in 1960 or later) can earn as much as they'd like without any reduction in benefits. Either way, it's worth talking to a financial advisor before diving in to make sure a side hustle doesn't create any unexpected financial complications for you down the line.

Kathy Hilton will no longer serve as Grand Marshal Icon for the 2026 WeHo Pride Parade.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was previously announced as one of this year's West Hollywood Pride honorees, but the city and parade organizers confirmed Wednesday that she will no longer hold the honorary role following community pushback.

"The announcement of Kathy Hilton as Grand Marshal Icon for the 2026 WeHo Pride Parade has generated a range of perspectives across our community," the City of West Hollywood and WeHo Pride organizers said in a joint statement, according to Entertainment Weekly. "In recent days, community members have shared thoughtful feedback regarding the role and significance of Pride honorees."

The statement continued, "After thoughtful discussions, the City of West Hollywood, the WeHo Pride production team, and Kathy Hilton have determined that the 2026 WeHo Pride Parade will not designate a Grand Marshal Icon honoree."

Hilton had been set to appear in the ceremonial role at the parade on Sunday, June 7.

Why Kathy Hilton's WeHo Pride Honor Drew Backlash

Hilton's selection drew criticism from some community members after she was named Grand Marshal Icon.

According to Entertainment Weekly, critics raised concerns about Hilton's alleged ties to President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. The outlet also noted that Hilton faced renewed attention over an allegation from her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills costar Erika Jayne, who previously claimed Hilton used a homophobic slur during a cast trip to Aspen, Colo.

Hilton has denied making the alleged comment.

Entertainment Weekly also reported that Indigenous Pride LA had pulled out of this year's event after Hilton's selection, saying the choice did not align with the values and lived experiences the group wanted Pride to uplift.

Kathy Hilton Responds After Stepping Down

Hilton addressed the change in the statement, saying she was honored to have been considered.

"I am honored to have been considered for this recognition and appreciative of the support I have received from members of the community throughout the years," Hilton said, according to Entertainment Weekly.

She said her reason for wanting to be involved in WeHo Pride was "simple."

"To celebrate, support, and share in the joy of a community that means a great deal to so many people," Hilton said. "Pride is, and always will be, about celebrating and uplifting LGBTQ+ voices, experiences, and achievements."

Hilton also pointed to her past support for LGBTQ+ organizations and causes, including GLAAD initiatives, the Elton John AIDS Foundation, the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, God's Love We Deliver and Project Angel Food.

"My support for the community and WeHo Pride is unwavering," Hilton said.

What WeHo Pride Said About the Decision View this post on Instagram

WeHo Pride organizers also thanked Hilton for her response to the controversy.

"The City of West Hollywood and WeHo Pride Parade organizers thank Kathy Hilton for her grace and her continued support of the LGBTQ+ community," the organization said, according to Us Weekly. "Pride has always been strongest when it genuinely reflects the community."

The statement added that WeHo Pride is strengthened by "open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to inclusion."

The city had announced Hilton as the 2026 Grand Marshal Icon in May, praising her "commitment to the LGBTQ+ community, allyship in the entertainment industry, and unwavering support across pop culture."

The original announcement also named former Los Angeles Rams Cheerleaders Quinton Peron and Napoleon Jinnies, along with the current Los Angeles Rams Cheerleaders, as Trailblazer Icons for the parade.

The Parade Will Still Go On

The 2026 WeHo Pride Parade is still scheduled to take place on Sunday, June 7, at noon on Santa Monica Boulevard.

This year's WeHo Pride Weekend runs from Friday, June 5, through Sunday, June 7, with events including the WeHo Pride Street Fair, OUTLOUD Music Festival, Women's Freedom Festival, Dyke March, and WeHo Pride Parade.

Hilton will not hold the Grand Marshal Icon title, and organizers said the 2026 parade will not designate anyone else for that specific honor this year.

New Jersey Named the Most Expensive State for Homeowners

You'll need to have pretty deep pockets to own a home in New Jersey, according to the 2026 report. That's because the Garden State has the highest effective tax rate in the country, with a median property tax of $9,358.

It sounds like higher-than-average home values play a role, since the taxes are calculated based on those figures. And while knowing your home is worth a pretty penny could offset some of the sting of those high taxes, it's likely that some people still feel the pain when their tax bills come due.

Some of the other states that made the list include:

• Washtingon
• Rhode Island
• Vermont
• California
• Illinois
• Massachusetts
• New York
• Connecticut
• New Hampshire

How to Save Money on Your Real Estate Taxes

Whether you live in New Jersey or are simply looking to cut costs wherever you can, there are actually a few ways you can try to lower your real estate bill, according to Investopedia. And while these tips will vary from state to state, it's worth checking whether any of them would work in your town.

First, you can request your property tax card from your tax assessor's office to see what they are basing your taxes on. Some of the items you can expect to find on this card include your lot size, number of rooms, your home's dimensions, and even the types of fixtures you have in your house. If you notice anything is off, you can ask your assessor to make an update to see if that will lower your tax bill.

After that's done and your property information is updated, you may want to check whether you are eligible for any property tax exemptions. Some places offer help reducing your tax burden if you or your property meet certain criteria. That can include discounts for older adults, agricultural properties, and even homestead exemptions.

Lastly, if you still believe that your taxes are higher than they should be, you may want to file an appeal with your assessor to see if you can get them lowered that way. This may come with a filing fee, so you'll want to do your research ahead of time to make sure you'll actually save money in the long run if you decide to go this route.

Of course, it is worth remembering that while you may think your real estate taxes should be lower, there's always the chance that the assessor could come back with a proposed increase instead, so be sure to do plenty of research before following these steps.

There are plenty of popular songs that have become well-known for lifting spirits and having a fun time. Supertramp's 1977 soft rock track became a feel-good anthem thanks to its inspiring lyrics that tell the story of showing people love.

"Give a Little Bit" was released in late May of that year as a folk-rock/soft-rock track written by co-founder Roger Hodgson. Released as a single, it was also the opening song for their album title, Even in the Quietest Moments. The track would be one of the band's biggest hits that gained international fame and a spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at No. 15.

Believe it or not, it took some time for the song to come to life as Hodgson originally wrote it years earlier when he was 19 or 20. It took almost six years for the song to get a full work-up from the band to become an official track. Hodgson has previously stated that "Give a Little Bit" was inspired by a track the Beatles had released in the late '60s: "All You Need Is Love." The era was also the time of the love and peace movement, with Hodgson wanting to develop his own feel-good track.

In an interview with Louder in 2023, the singer said, "Even at an unwizened young age when I wrote this song, I saw that the world needed love. I believed in love – it was always for love – and I just felt that was the most important thing in life."

"This song has really taken on a life of its own, and I think it’s even more relevant today than when I wrote it. Because we really are needing to value love in a much deeper way, and also we’re needing to care. There’s a spirit in the song that touches people and a magic that comes out in myself and in people around the world when I sing it. It's just one of those songs... that has a profound and beautiful message, which is give a little bit and show you care."

Hodgson still has fond memories of the song and playing it live, where, at the very end, he would see fans with their arms around each other and singing along. Drummer Bob Siebenberg recalls Hodgson working on the track for a long time and becoming familiar with its tune while hearing it in hotel rooms and other places.

"Give a Little Bit" is credited to both Hodgson and Rick Davies, who often shared credits on the band's work. The track was a favourite in the U.K. and was even loved by Princess Diana. It would also gain some resurgence in 2004 when the Goo Goo Dolls released their own cover.

When a 21-year-old Reddit user posted to r/personalfinance asking whether to pay a $400 medical bill, they weren't expecting to spark a debate. Imagine this: You get a $400 medical bill. Your dad tells you to ignore it — says it's a scam, claims responding will hurt your credit, and promises nobody pays these things anyway. Do you trust him?

What the Law Actually Says

Honestly? It's the kind of advice that made sense 20 years ago but could genuinely cost you today. In March 2022, three main nationwide credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion) announced that paid medical debts, medical debts less than a year old, and medical debt under $500 would no longer be included on consumers' credit reports. Under that policy, the Redditor's $400 bill technically couldn't hurt their credit score.

But the laws are always updating. In June 2024, the CFPB finalized a rule to eliminate all medical debt from most credit reports and ban lenders from using medical debt collection information to make financial determinations. However, by July 2025, a judge overturned this rule, so medical bills over $500 will appear on a credit report and negatively impact a credit score if the account is sold to collections. Overall, the dad's advice wasn't entirely wrong, but it wasn't completely sound.

Risks of Ignoring A Medical Bill

Commenters in the Reddit thread flagged early on that a $400 bill wouldn't affect their credit score, but ignoring it carries real consequences. Several replies noted that unpaid balances can result in a provider refusing future treatment or requiring payment up front for non-emergency services. And even though the bill doesn't appear on your credit report, it can still be sent to collections. Once a debt collection agency is involved, the original provider is largely out of the picture, and you'll have to ask yourself: Is the stress of collection calls, letters, and the threat of legal action worth the hassle of addressing the bill proactively?

One of the most upvoted responses in the thread offered up two choices: pay the bill when you're working, or fill out a financial hardship form provided by the hospital and pay less. In certain cases, some nonprofit hospitals must offer financial assistance programs that can forgive or significantly reduce bills for qualifying patients. One commenter bluntly put it, ignoring a valid bill doesn't make it disappear.

The Final Consensus: Pay It

While the Redditor's parent probably meant well, medical debt rules have changed significantly in recent years. Some state governments have taken proactive steps to help their constituents, and others have rolled back or rejected similar legislation. The safest approach remains the same: communicate with your provider and ask about financial assistance to pay what you can. Not paying a bill is never the answer.

Fear is in the forecast this summer with the return of Max Cady. That's right, the acclaimed thriller Cape Fear is returning in a new iteration, this time for the small screen. The limited series, executive produced by Academy Award winners Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese, was inspired by the 1991 remake, which was directed by the latter and produced by the former. 

When the series, created by Nick Antosca, was greenlit by Apple TV back in November 2024, it was described as "a tense, Hitchcockian thriller and an examination of America’s obsession with true crime in the 21st century."

The 1991 movie earned Robert De Niro an Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of killer Max Cady. Now, Javier Bardem is stepping into the psychopath's shoes in the 10-episode series.

"It's a masterpiece," Bardem previously told British GQ of the 1991 film. “And in a way, we are trying to achieve that – not the masterpiece part – but the goal to bring [the story] to a new audience.”

Before Max Cady stalks the Bowdens once again, here is everything to know about the Cape Fear limited series, including the star-studded cast and premiere date.

Who has played Max Cady in Cape Fear?

Max Cady was portrayed by Robert De Niro in the 1991 movie and by Robert Mitchum in the original film.

"In both movies, it's very clear from the beginning that Max is bad, he's the bad guy, and it's clear what his intentions are," Antosca told Entertainment Weekly in 2026. "And I think bringing the element of uncertainty and slow-building dread felt very timely in our version."

Who did Gregory Peck play in the original Cape Fear?

Gregory Peck played Sam Bowden in the original horror movie directed by J. Lee Thompson.

What is the Cape Fear series about?

Adams and Bardem play happily married attorneys Anna and Tom Bowden in the series. According to Apple TV, "a storm is coming" for their characters when Max Cady, whom they are responsible for getting locked up, gets out of prison after 17 years and wants revenge. 

"I like the way that it explores where we are as a society now, and how much we seek justice, and how easy it is to divert justice, and who gets justice," Adams has told EW. "And I think it's a really great examination of what a miscarriage of justice can do to someone's life. I'm constantly watching all of those crime documentaries — let's be honest, I'm watching Dateline — but it's because there is something that is really timely about examining how justice is applied in our society."

Is there a trailer for Cape Fear

Yes, the official trailer was unveiled on May 7 and Bardem's laugh alone might give you nightmares. In the trailer, Max is out of prison and Anna wonders if there is any way he could know about what she and Tom did. "We did what we thought was right," Wilson's character tells his wife.

Netflix has renewed Devil May Cry for a third season, but the announcement also confirms the end of Dante's animated journey.

The streaming giant revealed on June 4 that the hit series has been renewed for a third and final season following the recent debut of season 2, which remains on Netflix's Global Top 10 list.

While the news definitely confirms the cancellation of the series after the upcoming third season, creator and showrunner Adi Shankar says the series was always designed to conclude after three installments.

"For those of you who have been paying attention to the episode names, I have been showing you the structure the entire time," Shankar said in a statement. "This was always Dante's 'Divine Comedy' with guns and a red coat. Season 1 was 'Inferno.' Season 2 was 'Purgatorio.' Season 3 will be 'Paradiso.'"

He continued, "These three seasons make up 'The Force Edge Saga.' Since inception, 'The Force Edge Saga' was designed as a movie trilogy disguised as a television series."

Based on the popular Capcom video game franchise, Devil May Cry follows demon hunter Dante (Johnny Yong Bosch) as sinister forces threaten to open a portal between the human and demon realms. Across its first two seasons, the animated adaptation has become a notable success for Netflix.

According to Netflix, season 1 accumulated 21.7 million views in 2025, while season 2 has already drawn 6.4 million views in its first two weeks on the platform.

Season 2 raised the stakes considerably, focusing on Dante's conflict with his estranged twin brother Vergil (Robbie Daymond) as a war between worlds threatens to erupt. The upcoming third season is expected to bring that storyline to its conclusion.

The voice cast includes Bosch as Dante, Daymond as Vergil, Scout Taylor-Compton as Lady, Hoon Lee as the White Rabbit, Chris Coppola as Enzo Ferino and Graham McTavish as Arius von Erenburg. The series is produced by Studio Mir and is based on the long-running action-adventure game franchise created by Capcom.

Seasons 1 and 2 of Devil May Cry are currently streaming on Netflix. A release date for the third and final season has not yet been announced.

On June 4, 1983, The Police hit No. 1 in the U.K. with "Every Breath You Take" — a song Sting would later call "nasty" and "rather evil." Forty-three years on, it's still one of the most misread hits in rock history. 

It may be a first-dance favorite, but according to the frontman, anyone who's used it at their wedding may want to give the lyrics another listen.

“I think it’s a nasty little song, really rather evil. It’s about jealousy and surveillance and ownership,” Sting told New Musical Express in 1983. 

That said, he gets why the darker meaning tends to go over people's heads. “I think the ambiguity is intrinsic in the song, however you treat it, because the words are so sadistic,” he continued. 

“On one level, it’s a nice long song with the classic relative minor chords. And underneath, there’s this distasteful character talking about watching every move. I enjoy that ambiguity.”

The song gave The Police their fifth and final U.K. No. 1, sitting at the top of the charts for four weeks. Taken from their album Synchronicity, it also swept the 1984 Grammys, earning Sting Song of the Year and the band Best Pop Performance.

While "Roxanne" and "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" also dominated the U.K. charts, neither made it to the top spot in the U.S. "Every Breath You Take" remains the band's only Billboard Hot 100 No. 1. 

In May 2019, BMI named "Every Breath You Take" the most-played song in radio history, surpassing 15 million airplays and breaking a 22-year record previously held by The Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin.'"

But the song's success came at a cost. Behind the scenes, "Every Breath You Take" was helping drive the band apart. 

The group was already showing signs of strain, and their manager Miles Copeland, brother of drummer Stewart Copeland, was outspoken about his views on the track.

“In my humble opinion, this is Sting’s best song with the worst arrangement,” Miles later said. “I think Sting could have had any other group do this song and it would have been better than our version — except for [band member Andy Summers’] brilliant guitar part.”

“Basically, there’s an utter lack of groove,” he added. “It’s a totally wasted opportunity for our band. Even though we made gazillions off of it, and it’s the biggest hit we ever had.”

Creative differences and Sting’s growing interest in a solo career led to the band’s breakup just one year after their biggest hit. 

They regrouped briefly in 1986 to put out a singles compilation, Every Breath You Take: The Singles. In 2007 they returned, reuniting at the Grammy Awards before heading out on a world tour that ran through 2008.

The furniture can hold up to 380 pounds, and weighs 42.5 pounds, so we recommend utilizing an extra set of hands to help set it up. The table is made of fir wood, which is known to be durable, but it's instructed that you wipe the material down with a dry cloth to ensure it's long-lasting. If there's inclement weather incoming, you may want to consider storing it indoors (like inside a garage) to prevent mold and dry rot from ruining the piece. 

The table can comfortably fit four people at a time, while the bench is ideal for two people. There's a 1.5-diameter built-in umbrella hole located at the center so you can gather some shade on sunny days. You can even paint the natural wood to match your outdoor decor, or add throw pillows on it to create a more upscale ambiance. The beauty of this piece is that the options are endless, so you can place it in your garden, on your patio, etc.

For someone who has spent the better part of a decade playing an invincible superhero, Tom Holland has found that the hardest thing he's ever done happened entirely off camera. On the June 2 episode of Good Hang with Amy Poehler, the 29-year-old Spider-Man actor admitted he quit drinking because he had a problem, and that at its worst, he simply couldn't stop.

'I quit drinking because I had a problem, and I just couldn't put it down and it was affecting my professional life. It was affecting my personal life. And my health,' Holland told Poehler. 'I decided to pack it in and I got through that first year, which I think was the toughest challenge that I've ever been on.'

Holland's sobriety journey began with what he described to Poehler as an ordinary British Christmas and an unsettling revelation. After noticing that all he could think about during a self-imposed dry month was having a drink, he extended his abstinence further and further, eventually pushing through to his June birthday before allowing himself to fully accept that he had turned a corner.

What made that first year especially difficult was the lack of options for people who don't drink in social settings. 'During that first year, I noticed that there was limited options for people like me, that were looking for something that would scratch that itch, that would help you live or go to the bar and be a part of the social experience, but not feel like the only person with a lemonade,' Holland told Poehler. That gap became the foundation for Bero, his non-alcoholic beer company, which Holland founded in October 2024.

Holland revealed on the podcast that he created a new 0% alcohol shandy specifically as a 'ploy' to make something his partner Zendaya (whom he called 'the best actor going') could enjoy, since she has never drunk alcohol.

For Holland's fans, none of this came entirely out of nowhere. He had previously discussed quitting alcohol in a 2023 appearance on the On Purpose with Jay Shettypodcast, where he described feeling 'enslaved' to drinking and spoke about the mental clarity that sobriety brought him. But the conversation with Poehler comes at the peak of what is shaping up to be his biggest professional moment yet. Holland is weeks away from the July 31 release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and also has Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey on the horizon.

The version of Tom Holland who steps back into the Spider-Man suit this summer is, by his own accounting, a different person than the one who first put it on. For Holland, founding Bero came directly from his own sobriety experience, and he says he loves seeing young people turning away from alcohol and toward alternatives, describing the shift as creating 'a safer environment, a more communal environment.' What started as a private struggle has become, in its own way, part of who he is publicly.

In the 90s, the ultimate flex lay within your lunchbox, and we all knew that whoever had the best snacks ruled the lunch table. It wasn't just about eating; it was about status. Lunch was a marketplace where trades were made, alliances were formed and reputations were built one snack at a time. If you pulled out the right item, you instantly shifted the energy of the entire cafeteria. Kids would lean in, negotiations would start, and value was determined by hype and scarcity more than anything else.

Some snacks carried legendary status and were treated like currency. They represented more than flavor; they represented prestige. This is where cafeteria hierarchy was born. Whoever came prepared with the most sought-after snacks became a heavy hitter and sat at the top of the social food chain.

These kids naturally attracted attention and admiration from others who hoped for a trade or just a taste. If you had one of these popular 90s snacks back then, you were considered elite. You weren’t just eating lunch. You were setting the tone for the entire school day and quietly ruling the cafeteria without saying a word. Looking back at these snack items now, those simple trades and snacks defined our childhood memories. Take a look back at some of the top snacks of the 90s.

Discontinued Snacks From 1998

These are the discontinued lunchbox snacks from the 90s we still think about today. How many of these have you tried?

3D Doritos

3D Doritos were one of the most unique snack innovations of the 1990s, taking the familiar flavor of Doritos and transforming it into a crunchy, puffed-up chip unlike anything else on store shelves. Their hollow shape gave them a satisfying crunch that made them stand out from traditional tortilla chips. Kids loved bringing them to school for a fun lunch treat, while adults enjoyed them as a crispier alternative to regular chips.

Despite their popularity, the original version disappeared from store shelves in the early 2000s, leaving fans disappointed. Even today, many people still consider the original 3D Doritos superior to modern snack alternatives.

Bubble Jug Gum

Bubble Jug Gum turned bubble gum into an interactive experience by packaging shredded gum pieces inside a plastic jug designed to resemble a miniature milk container. The novelty factor alone made it a favorite among kids throughout the 1990s. Instead of grabbing a single stick of gum, you could pour out as much as you wanted, making it feel like you had endless bubble gum at your disposal. The powder-coated gum strands added an extra layer of fun and sweetness. While it eventually disappeared from many store shelves, Bubble Jug Gum remains one of the most memorable novelty candies from the decade.

Butterfinger BB’s

Butterfinger BB's transformed the classic Butterfinger candy bar into bite-sized balls packed with the same crispy peanut butter center and chocolate coating fans loved. Their small size made them perfect for sharing, snacking and sneaking into lunchboxes. The colorful packaging and clever advertising campaigns helped make them one of the hottest candies of the late 1990s. Many kids preferred them over the traditional candy bar because they were easier to eat, less messy and fun to share with friends.

Although they were discontinued, Butterfinger BB's still have a devoted following among nostalgic candy lovers who remember them fondly.

Dunkaroos

Dunkaroos were the ultimate lunchbox status symbol during the 1990s. Each package included crunchy cookies paired with a sweet frosting dip, creating an interactive snack experience that kids couldn't get enough of. The excitement came from choosing how much frosting to use with each cookie, often leading to strategic dipping decisions to maximize every bite. Available in several cookie and frosting combinations, Dunkaroos became a staple in school cafeterias across America. Their disappearance created years of demand from nostalgic fans, proving just how beloved they were among an entire generation of snack enthusiasts.

Flintstones Push Up Pops

Flintstones Push Up Pops combined the appeal of a lollipop with the fun of a retractable holder featuring characters from the popular animated series. Kids loved being able to enjoy a few licks, push the sherbet back down and save the rest for later. The colorful sherbet and recognizable Flintstones branding made them a playground favorite throughout the decade. Unlike traditional ice cream treats, Push Up Pops felt interactive, adding an extra layer of excitement.

While various versions have appeared over the years, many fans still remember the original Flintstones-themed Push Up Pops as a defining iced treat of the 1990s.

Fruit String Thing

Fruit String Thing transformed fruit snacks into an edible activity. Instead of simply eating a gummy snack, kids could peel, twist and unravel long strands of fruity goodness before taking a bite. The interactive nature of the snack made it feel more like a toy than food, which helped fuel its popularity. School lunches became more entertaining as kids compared flavors and challenged each other to peel entire strings without breaking them.

Despite developing a loyal following, Fruit String Thing eventually disappeared from shelves, becoming one of the most requested discontinued fruit snacks from the decade.

Orbitz Drink

Orbitz was one of the strangest beverages ever released during the 1990s. The clear drink contained colorful floating gelatin balls suspended throughout the bottle, creating a futuristic appearance unlike anything consumers had seen before. While the visual presentation generated curiosity and excitement, the unusual texture proved divisive among drinkers. Some loved the novelty, while others found it too strange to enjoy.

Despite its short lifespan, Orbitz became an unforgettable symbol of the decade's willingness to experiment with bold and unconventional food products. Today, it remains one of the most talked-about beverage failures in snack history.

Oreo O’s Cereal

Oreo O's Cereal brought the iconic flavor of Oreo cookies directly to the breakfast table. Featuring crunchy chocolate cereal rings with a sweet creme-inspired flavor, it quickly became a favorite among kids who wanted dessert for breakfast. The cereal captured the essence of America's favorite cookie while delivering a fun and satisfying crunch in every bowl.

The cereal's disappearance from many markets left fans disappointed for years, sparking countless online petitions and nostalgic discussions. For many people who grew up during the 1990s, Oreo O's represent one of the greatest cereal creations ever produced.

Philadelphia Cheesecake Snack Bars

Philadelphia Cheesecake Snack Bars gave consumers a portable way to enjoy the rich flavor of cheesecake without needing a fork or plate. The refrigerated dessert featured creamy cheesecake filling coated in chocolate, creating a combination that felt both indulgent and convenient. They quickly became a favorite treat for families looking for something different from traditional ice cream bars. The product also carried the trusted Philadelphia cream cheese name, helping establish instant credibility among dessert lovers.

Although they eventually disappeared, many fans still consider them one of the best refrigerated desserts ever created.

Pizzarias Pizza Chips

Pizzarias Pizza Chips delivered the flavor of pizza in a crunchy chip format that quickly won over snack lovers throughout the 1990s. Created by Keebler, these chips featured a distinctive pizza seasoning that offered a savory alternative to traditional potato chips. Their unique flavor profile made them stand out in an increasingly crowded snack aisle. Many consumers found them incredibly addictive and often finished entire bags in a single sitting.

Despite their popularity, Pizzarias eventually disappeared from shelves, leaving behind a loyal fan base that still campaigns for their return decades after their discontinuation.

Planters P.B. Crisps

Planters P.B. Crisps were a peanut butter lover's dream. Shaped like peanuts and filled with creamy peanut butter, these crunchy snacks delivered an irresistible combination of texture and flavor. Their unique design and rich filling made them stand apart from nearly every other snack on the market. Kids loved them, adults loved them and they quickly developed a passionate following.

Despite strong consumer demand, Planters eventually discontinued the product, creating one of the most famous snack-related heartbreaks of the decade. Even today, countless nostalgic fans continue requesting that Planters bring P.B. Crisps back.

Shark Bites Fruit Snacks

Shark Bites Fruit Snacks dominated lunchboxes throughout the 1990s and became famous for their colorful shark-shaped gummies. What truly made them special was the excitement of finding the rare Great White Shark piece hidden inside select packs. That element of surprise turned an ordinary snack into a daily treasure hunt for kids. The soft texture, fruity flavors and ocean-themed shapes made them an instant hit. While several fruit snacks have attempted to fill the void left behind by Shark Bites, few have achieved the same level of popularity.

Squeezit Color Changers

Squeezit Color Changers took drinking juice to another level by allowing kids to transform the color of their beverage. Each bottle included small flavor pellets that could be squeezed into the drink, creating a dramatic color-changing effect right before your eyes. The experience felt almost like a science experiment, making it one of the most entertaining drinks available during the decade.

The colorful bottles and interactive concept helped Squeezit stand out in a crowded beverage market. Although the brand eventually disappeared, many 90s kids still remember the excitement of watching their drink magically change colors.

Surge Soda

Surge Soda arrived in the mid 1990s as a bold citrus-flavored soft drink designed to compete directly with Mountain Dew. Its bright green packaging, extreme marketing campaigns and high energy image made it an instant hit among teenagers. Surge developed a cult following thanks to its refreshing flavor and rebellious branding that perfectly matched the decade's edgy advertising trends.

Fans were devastated when the drink was discontinued, leading to years of online campaigns demanding its return. Few discontinued beverages have inspired as much loyalty and passion as Surge, proving its lasting impact on soda culture.

Trix Yogurt

Trix Yogurt made breakfast and snack time more exciting by combining creamy yogurt with vibrant swirls of colorful flavors. The eye-catching colors and sweet taste appealed directly to kids, while the recognizable Trix branding helped it stand out in grocery store dairy aisles. Many children spent as much time mixing the colorful swirls together as they did eating the yogurt itself. Its playful presentation made it feel more like a treat than a traditional yogurt product. Although it eventually disappeared from many stores, Trix Yogurt remains one of the most nostalgic dairy products of the 1990s.

Where to Buy Discontinued Snacks

Finding discontinued snacks can feel like a treasure hunt for anyone chasing a taste of childhood nostalgia. While most of these products have long disappeared from grocery store shelves, there are still a few places worth checking.

Online marketplaces like eBay often have collectors and resellers offering vintage snacks, promotional packaging and occasionally unopened products. Specialty candy stores and retro snack websites sometimes carry limited run re-releases of fan favorites too. Social media groups dedicated to nostalgic foods can also be great resources for tracking down hard-to-find items. Just remember that truly discontinued snacks are often collector's items, making them rare and sometimes expensive.

Grey's Anatomy star Jason George is confident in his future on ABC's long-running medical drama despite the cast shakeup for Season 23.

The actor, who has played Dr. Ben Warren on Grey's Anatomy and its spinoff Station 19 since 2010, confirmed his return to the upcoming season in an interview with Us Weekly published on Thursday, June 4.

"I think I can confirm that Ben is coming back," the 54-year-old told the outlet on the heels of Season 22's May 6 finale. "I’m pretty certain I’m coming back."

Following the news that broke in March that Kim Raver and Kevin McKidd would be saying goodbye to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, George praised the Grey's Anatomy creative team for continuing to push the series forward after all these years on the air.

"They’re not afraid to make the hard decisions in terms of story to keep the story as fresh and alive as possible. But they do it with respect," he explained while giving insight into what a cast exit looks like on the ABC drama.

"As early as possible—as soon as you’re thinking about it—you’ll get a call and a conversation," he shared, remembering that when he first got the call to appear on Station 19, he thought it was a call to tell him he was being written off the show.

Comparatively, George said he's heard stories from other actors who have been "blindsided" with their exit from a production following their final table read.

Reflecting on his time working with Raver and McKidd, who played Dr. Teddy Altman and Dr. Owen Hunt on Grey's Anatomy, George called his former co-stars "some of the best people I’ve met my entire time in Hollywood."

Looking to the future of Grey's Anatomy, which premiered in 2005, George acknowledged that "every show that gets on the air gets canceled someday," but noted that "it’s just a matter of if people treat it with respect while you’re going along the path," adding, "So that’s what I have, and that’s a good time."

Blue Bell is getting into the patriotic spirit, just in time to celebrate America's 250th anniversary.

The beloved creamery announced the return of a fan-favorite summer flavor that will leave you feeling like the Fourth of July.

"Celebrate America’s 250th anniversary with Blue Bell!" the Instagram post began, revealing that Red, White & Blue Bell Ice Cream returns to stores starting today, June 4.

While the flavor leans into patriotic vibes, it’s also the perfect way to cool off during the hot summer months, with a refreshing mix of fruity flavors that capture the taste of the season.

The "festive flavor" consists of "Strawberry Ice Cream loaded with succulent strawberries, a creamy vanilla flavored ice cream, and a smooth blueberry flavored ice cream with real blueberries packaged side by side in one carton."

Customers can pick it up in the half-gallon size for a limited time.

Blue Bell press release

Fans couldn't contain their excitement over the flavors' timely return, writing, "ITS BACK ITS BACK I BEEN ASKING FOR YEARS AND ITS BACK ITS BACK," "YES YES YES FINALLY ITS MY FAVORITE," and "So happy to see it back! So good!!!"

And it's understandable, as the ice cream, which first debuted in 2014, hasn't been back for almost a decade, last being spotted on freezer shelves in 2017.

While it's the perfect choice as America celebrates its 250th birthday, it's also perfect for a variety of summer celebrations.

"A bowl of Red, White & Blue Bell is a great way to welcome summer and celebrate America’s 250th anniversary,” said Carl Breed, vice president of sales and marketing, in a press release, adding, “This season is filled with barbecues, Fourth of July parties, and sunny days by the pool. Red, White & Blue Bell Ice Cream is a delicious treat for all those fun occasions.”

As for the decision to bring back this specific flavor, Breed expressed, “It was a unanimous decision to have Red, White & Blue Bell return this year.”

Blue Bell's Red, White & Blue Bell Ice Cream joins the newest summer release, Black Raspberry Fudge, along with another seasonal fan-favorite, Peaches and Homemade Vanilla.

It's an inevitable trend within the larger entertainment industry that a successful movie eventually results in a sequel continuation.

Sometimes, these sequels might live up to or even surpass the quality of the original, as happens to be the case for 1980's The Empire Strikes Back, 1991's Terminator 2: Judgment Day or 2008's The Dark Knight.

Sadly, this rare phenomenon does not apply to any of the Jaws sequels, all of which failed to live up to the critical esteem and popularity of the original 1977 horror thriller.

In the case of Jaws's immediate follow-up, director Steven Spielberg (who famously received his breakthrough directing credit courtesy of the original film) revealed on The Rewatchables podcast that he was actually approached with the opportunity to direct Jaws 2.

Pointedly, the 79-year-old Schindler's List director said that he flat-out refused to return to the franchise, mainly due to the fact that he believed there was little story potential following the wake of Jaws.

Above all else, Spielberg said that, because the titular shark died at the end of the first film, the chance that a similarly massive shark would invade the same small town was next to impossible.

"They tried to get me to make it," Spielberg said on the podcast. "And I kept saying, 'We blew the shark up, guys! We blew the shark up. It's unmakeable. The shark got blown up.' And they said, 'Well, there's other sharks.' There are no other sharks 26-feet long! Only Jaws."

Interestingly, Spielberg's indifference to the idea of a Jaws sequel resulted in the director avoiding Jaws 2 for decades after the movie's release.

"I didn't even see it," the Indiana Jones filmmaker said. "I didn't see it for 20 years."

In spite of Jaws 2's middling critical success, it nevertheless proved to be a box office smash hit, paving the way for two universally panned sequels, Jaws 3-D and Jaws: The Revenge.

Peter Frampton had a hard time handling superstardom 50 years ago.

The legendary singer wasn’t exactly a new kid on the block when his live album Frampton Comes Alive! was released in 1976. But the massive success of the album put him in unfamiliar territory—and it happened fast.

Frampton Comes Alive! was released in January 1976 and debuted at No. 143 on Billboard’s Hot 200 album chart that month. By April 10, it was the No. 1 album in the country.

“I went from a musician to a pop star overnight,” Frampton once told the music magazine of his breakthrough album. “That’s a very hard thing to scrape off.”

Fifty years later, the music legend admitted he found himself in a scary situation amid the massive success.

"I've never been driven by money, only by music and the playing of it,” Frampton, 76, told People magazine in a June 2026 interview. “Unfortunately, there was at least one, maybe more, that saw me as the golden goose and stopped caring about me and treated me more like a commodity. 'He'll do this, he'll do that.' I was scared to death with the situation I was in."

He added that he was against recording the follow-up album, I’m in You, so soon after the following year, but reluctantly did it.

"When we became the biggest album of all time in America and Canada, that was the scariest thing for me, because it took me six years to write those songs,” Frampton explained. “I'm a perfectionist, and that's why I wasn't thrilled with following up the live album at all. I didn't want to make that album then.”

Frampton Comes Alive! featured some of Frampton’s biggest songs, including the singles “Show Me the Way,” ‘Baby I Love Your Way,” and “Do You Feel Like We Do.” It introduced the world to the singer’s talk box and remains one of the best-selling live rock albums of all time.

The I’m in You follow-up ultimately included what would be Frampton’s highest-charting song. The title track to the 1977 album peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 on July 30, 1977, just a year after his Frampton Comes Alive! fame made him a reluctant teen idol.

But by 1978, Frampton fell from popularity after his accelerated career had him appearing in the critically panned Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band movie with the Bee Gees.

In the trailer for the newly released documentary Frampton, the singer looked back on his post-Comes Alive! period which came to a tragic halt following a near-fatal car crash in the Bahamas in 1978. “You don't realize what the onslaught is like until you're number one in the world. And that's when the s--- hit the fan,” Frampton said in the documentary. “Drinking too much, too many drugs, and then a car accident. Broke just about every bone in my body.”

Frampton told Billboard he wanted to share the ugly side of fame with his fans. “I wanted people to see it’s not all glamour; I wanted to show the story all the way through — the good, the bad and the ugly,” he said. ‘it was very important to say I failed, even though (failure) doesn’t sit well with me, being a positive man in many ways.”

Following his arrest in New Orleans during Mardi Gras in February, Shia LaBeoufappeared in court and pleaded guilty to simple battery. The actor also received the conditions of his sentence.

According to Page Six, the Orleans Parish Criminal District Court reveals the 39-year-old actor pleaded guilty in relation to a physical altercation that occurred at a Marigny bar earlier this year. Reports at the time stated that an inebriated LaBeouf had gotten into a fight with a staff member that resulted in blows to the face before being treated by paramedics and arrested.

The Transformers actor has now been sentenced to a six-month suspended sentence and two years of active probation. Per the terms of the sentence, the actor must also complete anger management and sensitivity training. Following his guilty plea, the case has been officially closed.

LaBeouf's attorney, Sarah Chervinsky, issued a statement about the sentence and what occurred in February.

"The police and District Attorney’s investigation proved exactly what Shia LaBeouf said from the beginning — that this was nothing more than a minor Mardi Gras bar tussle," she said. "There is no evidence it was about bias or prejudice, which is why the state only charged these low-level misdemeanors."

"Mr. LaBeouf came to court today wanting to take accountability for his part in what happened, and he has done so. Now he’s looking forward to focusing on family, work, and new creative projects."

The incident occurred on Feb. 17 as the actor was on a bar crawl through the French Quarter when he got rowdy inside an establishment. Staff and patrons describe the actor as being intoxicated and "somewhat belligerent" before being escorted out. Once outside, LaBeouf reprotedley began fighting the employee who escorted him before walking away. A short time later, the actor returned and had to be held back by several patrons and later taken into custody.

Reports later revealed that LaBeouf turned himself in to the New Orleans Parish PD a few days later, once learning of an arrest warrant in his name. The warrant was in relation to the brawl and two battery charges, with the actor later posting a $100,000 bond and agreeing to substance abuse treatment and drug testing. 

The Disturbia star has yet to make a public statement about pleading guilty to simple battery. He recently teased the possibility of returning to the Transformers franchise.

Sarah Ferguson’s post-divorce relationship with the royal family reportedly included one surprising request of Queen Elizabeth.

Express reported that the former Duchess of York requested only one thing from the late monarch. She wanted to continue their close relationship.

She had a two-word ask to Elizabeth upon divorcing the queen's third child, Andrew. The couple was married from 1986 through 1996.

The outlet reprinted commentary Sarah made in a 2007 interview with Harper's Bazaar. "When I met with Her Majesty about [the divorce], she asked, 'What do you require, Sarah?' and I said, 'Your friendship.'"

She continued, "I think it amazed her because everyone said I would demand a big settlement. But I wanted to be able to say, 'Her Majesty is my friend '—not fight her nor have lawyers saying, 'Look, she is greedy.' I left my marriage knowing I'd have to work."

At the time, Sarah said she still loved and admired Elizabeth. She admitted, "The queen and I always got on well." She added, "I uphold everything Her Majesty represents, has given up her life for. It's her duty. For her country, she's selfless to the grave."

In 2023, Sarah appeared on The View, where she discussed her relationship with the royal family's longest-serving monarch.

Her appearance came just months after the monarch's passing in September 2022. When asked what she missed the most about Elizabeth, Sarah responded, "My friend."

"We did chat a lot. The last three years in particular," she explained.

"I used to call her Mama. She was so brilliant, and has such a great sense of humor. She was more of a mum to me than my own mum. She was so incredible and so forgiving and didn't judge me."

"She'd say to me, 'Just be yourself Sarah. One day you'll be all right.'"

After the Queen's passing, as a final show of respect, Sarah Ferguson took ownership of her beloved corgis, Muick and Sandy, alongside her own Norfolk Terriers.

Love Island's Iain Sterling and Laura Whitmore have added an adorable new member to their family!

The beloved Love Island narrator, 38, and former Love Island UK host, 41, announced on Thursday, June 4, that they had welcomed their second child "unexpectedly early," giving their fans a first glimpse at the "new player" in their family in separate social media posts.

Whitmore's birth announcement came alongside a photo of her newborn's hand resting on her chest as she declared that "a new player has entered the game!"

"We welcomed the most precious baby last month, unexpectedly early and with dramatic flair (wouldn’t expect anything else)," she wrote in the caption. "I had made a 5 hour birthing playlist this time.. only played about 3 songs - ended up using it post birth."

She joked that the playlist was "reaaally good," and requested that people "please use it," linking it in her Instagram Story.

In the meantime, Whitmore said she had "been enjoying baby smells, lack of sleep and scrumptious hands and wrists."

Sterling's post, meanwhile, showed off a custom sweater featuring the phrase "littlest living legend" in tan stitching and accompanied by a matching hat and baby booties. "Say hello to our newest living legend," he wrote in the caption, joking, "I always wanted someone in the house who would stay up late and watch the World Cup with me. But this feels a little excessive."

The couple, who previously welcomed daughter Stevie Ré in March 2021, have yet to share the name of their newborn, and have kept much of their family life out of the public eye.

Whitmore announced she was expecting her second child back in February, posting photos from a maternity shoot on Instagram on Feb. 18 while breaking her big baby news.

"Instagram V Reality — Spoiler: It wasn’t just a big meal mama ate," she wrote of concealing her pregnancy news. "She’s been cooking away! I’d like to thank stretchy pants and travel sick bags." In the comment section, Sterling gushed, "I love you."
