Across the U.S., there are more than 41,000 ZIP codes, ranging from vacant plots of land to vibrant cities. And interestingly, some of the most bustling ZIP codes today were barely more than empty lots or farmland a decade ago.

For a new report, RentCafe looked at data from 32,000 ZIP codes, and examined factors like population growth and housing availability in each area. The housing rental platform analyzed this data to determine the 50 "newest" neighborhoods that have experienced the biggest transformations in the past ten years, as well as 50 of the most up-and-coming neighborhoods, which have experienced an increase in well-paid jobs and educated residents. Read on to see the lists and learn more.

Garth Brooks has broken just about every record in country music. Now he might be coming for one more — and this one has a comma and a lot of zeros.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Brooks is reportedly considering selling his music catalog, with a price tag somewhere in the neighborhood of $2 billion. 

If the deal comes together, it would not just make him the richest artist in country music. It could put him toe-to-toe with Jay-Z for the title of wealthiest singer in the world.

To put that number in perspective, Sony purchased Queen's entire publishing catalog for $1 billion in 2024 and acquired half of Michael Jackson's for over $1 billion. 

When you look at what Brooks has actually accomplished, his asking price starts to make a lot more sense. 

He has sold more than 200 million albums in the U.S., making him the bestselling solo artist in American history. He also surpassed the Beatles in U.S. album sales and is the only artist to earn Diamond certification for 10 albums. 

Any catalog deal would come with some of the biggest songs in country music history. "The Dance," "Friends in Low Places" and "Shameless" alone would justify the asking price. His record-breaking success has also earned him two Grammy Awards and an induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2012.

On top of all that, Brooks has spent the last several years selling out the Encore Theatre in Las Vegas as part of a five-year residency. 

His current estimated net worth sits at $400 million, and that is before any deal. Of course, to reach billionaire status, Brooks would first have to move past some pretty heavy hitters.

Sitting at the top of the country music net worth list is Beyoncé. Her album Cowboy Carter won Best Country Album at the Grammys last year, and between her R&B career and various business ventures, Forbes confirmed her net worth crossed $1 billion earlier this year. 

Even so, $1 billion puts her near the bottom of that exclusive tier. Jay-Z leads the list at an estimated $2.53 billion, followed by Taylor Swift at $2.1 billion, Paul McCartney at $1.3 billion, Bruce Springsteen at $1.17 billion and Rihanna at $1.03 billion. 

Within country music specifically, Dolly Parton sits just behind Beyoncé with an estimated net worth of $650 million. Brooks comes in third at $400 million, with Shania Twain close behind at somewhere between $350 million and $410 million.

As of April 2026, an estimated 7.4 million p eople received Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social Security benefits, or both, according to the Social Security Administration (SSA). And each month, those beneficiaries have to consult the SSA's schedule of benefits to find out when their Social Security checks will be sent.

In June, that payment schedule looks a bit different than normal, and some people may be wondering exactly when they can expect their money. Keep reading to find out when your Social Security benefits will arrive this month, and what you should do if they don't hit your bank account when you expect them to.

When Are June 2026 Social Security Payments

If you are an SSI recipient, you likely received your benefits on June 1 this year. That's because the payments were sent out on the first of the month for this group of recipients. However, several groups of recipients still haven't received their benefits. According to the Schedule of Social Security Benefit Payments for 2026-2027, people should receive their payments on the following dates:

• Social Security recipients who started receiving benefits before May 1997 or those who receive both SSI and Social Security benefits should receive their money on June 3
• Social Security recipients with birthdays between the 1st and 10th of the month should receive their benefits on June 10
• Social Security recipients with birthdays between the 11th and 20th of the month should receive their benefits on June 17
• Social Security recipients with birthdays between the 21st and 31st of the month should receive their benefits on June 24

What to Do If Your Social Security Payment Is Late

A lot of people rely on these payments to help afford everyday essentials, which can make it stressful when they don't arrive when you expect them to.

According to the SSA, if you believe you were supposed to receive a payment and it hasn't arrived yet, you should contact your bank or financial institution for more information. Sometimes these payments can be held up by these institutions before being disbursed into your account, and a customer service representative from your bank will likely be able to help you figure out where your money is and when it will arrive.

If you've called your bank and they haven't received the transfer from the SSA, you should reach out to the administration for more information. You can either call 1-800-772-1213 between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. local time, or contact your local SSA office.

Just remember, some offices may be experiencing emergencies or disruptions, so check the SSA website before reaching out to confirm whether they are open for in-person visits, offering virtual services, or closed altogether. Additionally, you may want to keep in mind that the SSA will likely experience higher-than-normal call volume around the time payments are disbursed, so you may need to be prepared for long wait times.

Jessica Simpson got emotional onstage as she discussed her struggles with alcoholism.

Simpson, 45, rose to fame as a pop singer and reality star, whose role on the MTV series Newlyweds alongside then-husband Nick Lachey skyrocketed her to stardom. While she triumphed professionally and personally, there was a dark truth behind the surface: she was struggling with alcoholism and spent her days drinking.

In a new concert appearance at the Yaamava’ Resort & Casino in Highland, California, on Tuesday, Simpson fought back tears as she recalled realizing alcohol was holding her back.

"I realised that the drinking wasn't numbing my pain, it was actually causing more pain," Jessica told the crowd as she introduced a song titled “Give It All Away,” which was cowritten by Linda Perry.

"In all honesty, I'm just a work in progress, and I celebrate each and every day that I feel alive and in my body, and I'm very proud of myself," she added, in a video captured by The Hollywood Reporter.  “I want all of you to know that you should have a little grace for yourself, and everything is gonna be OK if you just give it all away, and that’s what this song is about.”

Sharing that she hoped she could "do this without crying," Simpson started to sing the previously unreleased song.

How Long Has Jessica Simpson Been Sober?

Jessica Simpson has been sober for over eight years.

In November 2025, the singer celebrated eight years without alcohol in a touching social media post.

“8 years ago today I made the choice to confront, to confess and to let go of the self sabotaging parts of my life that I was choosing. Making that decision allowed me to fully live in the pursuit of Gods purpose for my life. Alcohol silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency,” she shared in a selfie. “Today I am clear. Today I am driven by faith. Both fear and faith are something that we feel and may not see, I’m so happy I chose faith over fear. It was not in the fight that I found my strength, it was in the surrender.”

Step aside, orange chicken, there’s a new sheriff in town! Panda Express recently launched its take on American Chinese barbecue with a first-of-its-kind dish, a Cantonese BBQ brisket that sits at the crossroads of two popular barbecue traditions.

Inspired by the use of beef brisket in American barbecue, but with a decidedly Chinese twist, the new menu item is made with aromatic Chinese spices and is loaded with a whopping 44 grams of protein per serving.

The brisket is slow-cooked before it’s tossed in a barbecue sauce that has notes of char siu and is made with soy sauce, spicy fermented soybean paste, mirin, and sesame oil. Not only is it the first brisket dish from Panda Express, but it’s the first time the chain has launched a barbecue dish in over a decade. The new menu item is available nationwide now through August 10, or while supplies last. 

“Cantonese BBQ Brisket is the most ‘American Chinese’ dish we’ve ever made,” said Chef Jimmy Wang, Executive Director of Culinary Innovation at Panda Express, in a statement shared with Parade. “We've taken the spirit of American BBQ and fused it with Cantonese flavor, slow-cooked to achieve that signature tenderness before flame-searing it in a char siu-inspired sauce. It's all built around the soul of BBQ: the bark, the tenderness, the smoky finish. If you really want to taste what makes this brisket special, I’d pair it with a side of our white steamed rice.”

Others agreed, stating, “Had it last night. 10/10!” and proclaiming that they’re “Ordering this RIGHT NOW.”

Céline Dion is remembering the "kind spirit" and "incredible voice" of R&B legend Peabo Bryson following the singer's death at age 75.

Dion took to social media shortly after Bryson's family announced his death on Tuesday, June 2, to mourn the passing of her Beauty and the Beast collaborator, with whom she sang the title track of the beloved 1991 Disney film.

"I’m heartbroken to hear that we lost Peabo Bryson today," Dion began her tribute. "His incredible voice and his kind spirit embodied the beauty of song and performance."

Dion and Bryson won a Grammy award in 1992 for their duet on "Beauty and the Beast," which also marked the Canadian singer's first U.S. and U.K. top 10 hit. Bryson would go on to win his second Grammy the following year for his performance on another iconic Disney song, Aladdin's "A Whole New World," with Regina Belle.

"He was so wonderful and generous to me all those years ago, when we recorded Beauty and the Beast," Dion remembered of her time working with Bryson. "He made me so comfortable, as I was just learning to sing in English."

She concluded, "He will remain for me always as a real symbol of the joy that music has brought to my life. His voice and his talent will be missed…My heart is with your family, and may you rest in peace, Peabo."

Bryson's family announced on Tuesday that the singer-songwriter had died surrounded by family after he had suffered a stroke over the weekend.

"For more than five decades, Peabo's extraordinary voice served as the soundtrack to some of life's most cherished moments," the family shared in a statement. "His music carried generations through joyful celebrations, great love stories and enduring moments of comfort and inspiration, creating a legacy that will forever live in the hearts of those who loved him and the countless lives he touched through song."

Rod Stewart is sharing the details of the "awful" illness that forced him to cancel two recent shows in his Las Vegas residency just hours before he was set to hit the stage.

The 81-year-old "Maggie May" singer addressed the audience after returning to the stage of the Colosseum at Caesars Palace on Tuesday, June 2, giving insight as to why he abruptly canceled his May 29 and May 30 Encore residency shows on "doctor’s advice."

"Before we go any further, last week I passed on two shows, and I'll tell you why," Stewart told the audience in social media footage shared by E! News. "I had this awful f--king sinus infection. I should've gone to the hospital, but I didn't."

Stewart continued that his reticence to seek medical help led to his ears and eardrums getting infected, and that he eventually "couldn't hear a thing."

"When you've got your ears blocked up, it ruins your equilibrium," he told the crowd, adding that while he's since recovered from the infection, he "might stumble a bit tonight."

Despite the health setback, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer insisted that he was back with his "good voice" and ready to perform once more, encouraging the crowd, "Enjoy yourselves!"

Prior to last week's cancellations, a representative for Stewart told the Las Vegas Review-Journal in a statement, "Following his doctor’s advice, Rod Stewart has regretfully cancelled his performances at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on May 29 and 30, but is scheduled to return with shows beginning June 2.”

Stewart added in a message of his own, “My apologies to my family of fans. I am on vocal rest as I recover from a sinus infection. I look forward to seeing you at a future show at Caesars Palace or on tour this summer."

The rock icon is scheduled to perform shows for his Rod Stewart: The Encore Shows residency through June 6 before taking a break, returning to the stage on Aug. 18 for another string of performances running through Aug. 29.

CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss addressed the staff on the morning of Wednesday, June 3, following the news that the network had fired veteran 60 Minutes journalist Scott Pelley.

According to Variety, in a conference call, Weiss began by saying that she needs "to address what’s transpired in our newsroom over the past two days and what is making news."

"I know I speak for myself, and I hope I speak for everyone here, when I say that I’m only interested in working in a newsroom that is built on trust and mutual respect," she added. "We cannot do our work without it. That foundation was broken on Monday, and despite our attempts to engage with Scott Pelley and to find a way back, unfortunately we weren’t able to do so, and so we had to part ways.

"We did not want that to happen, but that’s the path that he chose.”

Pelley's firing came after he clashed with management and specifically the show's new executive producer, Nick Bilton, in a staff meeting. As a result, Bilton sent a letter to Pelley on Tuesday, June 2, informing him of his termination, and said that his "antipathy to the future of the show has come through loud and clear."

Bilton also sent a separate not to 60 Minutes employees, addressing the decision.

"“I know how much Scott meant to many of you, and I don’t say this lightly,” Bilton wrote in the letter, shared by NBC News. “I made repeated attempts to have direct conversations with him over the weekend, and this afternoon I tried to find common ground. That was not the path Scott chose.”

Pelley then released a statement of his own, accusing CBS and the new owners, while explicitly saying the show has "lost its DNA."

“The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well,” Pelley added.

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are looking back on the day they became parents.

The Live with Kelly and Mark hosts celebrated their eldest son Michael Consuelos' 29th birthday during the Tuesday, June 2 episode of their daytime talk show, but Ripa made it clear that she was paying attention to the exact timing.

According to People, Ripa joked that she had texted Michael that morning to remind him he was not technically born until later that day.

"I said, 'Remember, you weren't born until 7:17 p.m., so technically it's not your birthday yet,'" Ripa recalled. "You haven't made your grand entrance yet."

Consuelos then joked that Ripa always makes a "speech" about their children's birth times on their birthdays.

Ripa and Consuelos then started looking back on Michael's birth, including the long wait before he arrived.

"I remember, I was watching Entertainment Tonight when they were like, 'Ready to have a baby?'" Ripa said. "And I was like, 'Okay, can we wait 'til this episode's over?'"

Consuelos said Ripa had a "very long labor" with Michael, and the couple ended up staying at the hospital overnight.

But Ripa said that even though her labor was long, another woman at the hospital seemed to be having a much more urgent experience.

"I remember hearing someone having a baby on the floor," Consuelos said.

"The woman in the hallway, [she] gave birth in the hallway," Ripa added. "[She] got to the hospital too late for an epidural and was in active labor."

The moment stayed with both of them.

"I remember thinking I had gotten to the hospital too early, but then I heard that, and I was like, 'Just in time! I got here in the nick of time!'" Ripa said. "We both woke up. It woke us both up, and I was fully under the haze of an epidural. I was feeling nothing, but I felt that."

In a "World Cup Cookoff" episode, the MasterChef kitchen is transformed into a backyard barbecue, with the remaining home cooks tasked with cooking dishes that would be perfect for a FIFA World Cup watch party, but not finger food or handhelds, rather plated meals.

But, of course, there’s a dramatic twist. At halftime, Dave Patera, who is the holder of the Immunity Pin after winning last week’s team challenge, gets to bench one cook from this challenge, which could change the whole game. That person will be safe. But there’s a strategy to it. If he gets rid of a territory’s best cook, the chances of that territory getting a win go way down, but if someone from his own team looks like they’re in trouble, he can bench them to save them.

Watching from the balcony, Dave, who is a member of Team Africa, gets to oversee all the cooks below and decide who he’s going to take out of the game. Watch the exclusive sneak peek as he tries to make his decision.

“We’re getting closer to halftime, and it’s actually kind of an intense experience,” he says in this early release clip from tonight’s episode. “I’m not entirely sure which strategy I’m going to use. Asia-Pacific, their team is fully intact. There are five of them, and I could potentially take out one of their top cooks. The Americas also have some really strong cooks. I could bench someone and potentially weaken their territory. On the other hand, Europe tonight, they’re giving enough hectic energy on their own, and I think that will work itself out.”

Who will Dave select? Tune in tonight to find out if his strategy works.

MasterChef airs Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT on FOX. Streams next day on Hulu.

Following this week's episode, MasterChef will pause for the World Cup and new episodes will continue on July 15th.

In 1976,Tom Pettyand the Heartbreakers were ready to release their debut album as a band. One of their biggest hits was a sultry rock song with a guitar lick that became known as one of the best rock anthems of the era, but never actually topped the charts.

The band developed "Breakdown" as one of their lead singles for their self-titled debut album. Written by Petty, the song's lyrics speak about the reality of the heartbreak of a failing relationship. The singer says there's nothing left for each of them to say, as if recognizing there's nothing left to do.

"Breakdown" was released in November of 1976 and landed at No. 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 33 on Cash Box. Despite not ranking higher, the track became a popular hit among fans not only for its lyrics, but for having one of the best guitar riffs that made the track almost six minutes long.

According to Guitar Player, guitarist Mike Campbell was working on a guitar lick he called a "mindless doodle" that would become the song's signature hook. The guitar lick was originally used as the outro for the song and was buried among everything else. Petty and singer-songwriter Dwight Twilley were the ones to realize the star potential of it being a guitar riff for the track.

“Everyone had gone home, and I was sitting there listening, and in walks Dwight Twilley," said Petty. "Twilley turns to me and says, ‘That's the lick, man! How come he only plays it once at the end of the song? It's the whole hook.’"

After relistening to it, Petty agreed that they needed to make the guitar lick a more important part of the overall song. Some details on exactly what time vary about the song's creation, with Petty having called the band in the middle of the night back to the studio.

“So I called the band up — 4:00 in the morning — and told them to come back down. We did it again around the lick, took a couple takes, and there it was," said the singer.

"Breakdown" was reported to have been either six minutes long or well over eight minutes when it was re-recorded. The band had ultimately trimmed the track down to over two minutes for its single release. Campbell remembers having used a One a Day vitamins pill bottle during the recording, but they scrapped it as the sound wasn't what they were looking for.

“We decided that the bottleneck was too bluesy. So I just played the part without the bottleneck and it worked. It’s just one of those things you stumble onto," said Campbell.

"Breakdown" would become one of the most well-known tracks by the band, which also included guest guitarist Jeff Jourad and Phil Seymour as backing vocals.

Rachel Maddow publicly voiced her support for Scott Pelley following the shocking news of his firing from CBS on Tuesday, June 2.

That same night, Maddow spoke about it during her latest TV appearance, saying that she hopes Pelley will land "right here," referencing MSNBC.

“There’s nobody who is more acutely attuned to the value of a free press than those who are trying to take it away," Maddow said of Pelley. "There's nothing else going on at CBS News other than what we can see is happening at CBS News. And I don't know where Scott Pelley will land. Frankly, I hope he lands right here."

And she wants him back on screen as soon as possible.

 "I hope he’s on TV tomorrow," Maddow stated. "And I hope that everybody in journalism and everybody who values a free press figures out ways to outmaneuver the people who are trying to take the free press from us. But it is a fully joined fight at this point. And there’s no, I just don’t think there’s any pretense that anything else was happening here."

The 60 Minutes veteran was fired from CBS, with executive producer, Nick Bilton saying that Pelley showed  “performative display[s] of hostility” and had “no interest in contributing to the future success of the show.”

Following Bilton's termination letter that was made public, Pelley released a statement of his own, defending his actions and calling out CBS's leadership.

"But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well," he wrote. "I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return."

In a 2025 Senior Report by the United Health Foundation, researchers studied 36 measures across five overall health categories to see how well each state supported adults aged 65 and older. Climbing up two spots from 2024, Vermont claimed the No. 1 spot for senior health out of all 50 states — making it the healthiest state for older adults in the country.

It's hard to argue with the Green Mountain State's four-season climate, scenic mountains, tight-knit communities, and access to outdoor recreation. For seniors specifically, the data shows positive trends that make this Northeast state a coveted spot for retirement planning.

Vermont Senior Health Rankings by Category

The United Health Foundation study broke its data down into Behaviors, Social and Economic Factors, Clinical Care, Health Outcomes, and Physical Environment to determine which state is the most senior-friendly. Each of these main categories studied specific measures to inform the report.

Here's how Vermont ranked overall:

• Behaviors: #1
• Social and Economic Factors: #2
• Clinical Care: #14
• Health Outcomes: #13
• Physical Environment: #12

Landing in the top 15 across all 50 states in terms of quality of life is no small feat. It's clear that Vermont is a sought-after state that takes care of its senior residents and sets the bar for a retirement experience.

So, What's the Catch?

Retiring in Vermont comes at a cost. The Green Mountain State is one of the most expensive places to retire, and experts recommend having at least $1,185,274 in retirement savings to live comfortably.

On the tax front, Vermont retirement taxes are among the most complex in the country. The state still taxes Social Security benefits for many retirees, and most other retirement income — including pensions, 401(k)s and IRA distributions — is subject to state income tax. Vermont's income tax range of 3.35% to 8.75% surpasses California's top rate in some brackets, and property taxes average around $5,000 annually.

But retirement planning in Vermont goes beyond finances. According to retirement industry expert and Broadcast Retirement Networkproducer Jeffrey Snyder, relocating for retirement requires thinking beyond taxes and the cost of living. "It's most important to consider your social interactions and to be challenged intellectually to prevent cognitive decline," he tells Parade. He also points to proximity to medical care and family as critical factors when choosing the best place to retire. "Healthcare needs increase as we age — and we may need more assistance from others with even our basic needs."

The Bottom Line

Vermont ranks as one of the healthiest states to retire in — but the lifestyle and health benefits come with a real price tag. As Jeffrey Snyder reminds us, the best retirement relocation decisions weigh community, healthcare access, and proximity to loved ones alongside the financials. Before making the move, stress-testing your retirement savings with a financial advisor is a smart first step.

When a "Your tickets to Disney are confirmed" type email lands in your inbox, it should spark excitement and anticipation. However, if you never bought the tickets or had no intention of seeing the mouse in person, it raises some red flags.

A Redditor user recently took to r/personalfinance, outlining a string of suspicious emails and a $970 charge that left them asking the internet: "What's the scam?"

How Disney Ticket Fraud Unfolded

• An email from Disney confirmed a new account had been created under the user's name.
• A second email notified the user that the account had been updated. Fifteen minutes later, a third email confirmed the purchase of four Disneyland tickets totaling $970. The first ticket was booked under the user's full name with three other unknown first names attached.
• American Express contacted the user about the unusual $970 charge.
• A few minutes after the first purchase, another email from Disney indicated a new sign-in location.
• American Express flagged the user's account after an attempt to book a Disney cruise.
• The cardholder contacted American Express, had the charge reversed, and received a new card.
• Days later, the user received a "Thank you for your visit" email from Disneyland.

Piecing together the "what" is one thing, but it's the "how" that Reddit couldn't stop dissecting.

How the Scam Worked (And Didn't Work)

According to commenters on the thread, the answer is straightforward: the scammer obtained the user's credit card information and used it to purchase Disneyland tickets, which are easily resold for cash.

How could a thief get their actual email? Redditors pointed out that a data breach (especially if they had accounts like Disney+, Hulu, or ESPN) could be the culprit. Some theorized that by using the victim's real name and email address, the scammer bypassed Disney's automated fraud detection systems, which flag purchases when billing information doesn't match account details.

What to do if you notice fraudulent activity on your accounts

• Contact your credit card company immediately to reverse charges and request a new card
• Flag the account created in your name and change the password to reclaim it
• Change your email password and enable two-factor authentication
• Update passwords on any account that shares the same credentials
• Check your email account for unrecognized logins from unfamiliar locations
• Visit Identitytheft.gov and follow the steps if you think your information was stolen or part of a data breach.

5 Top Picks

According to a ranking by SeniorLiving.com, there are at least 10 affordable cities in California where retirees on a budget can retire. They offer affordability, amenities, and the beautiful California weather. Here are the top 5 picks that stood out:

Bakersfield - Considered one of the most affordable cities in California and ranked 5th for affordability among 100 major U.S. cities. According to KGET, Bakersfield is 18% more affordable than the rest of the state. If your annual income is under $100k, you'll still be able to afford a home here.

Chico - Last year, Advance America surveyed real estate agents across the country to determine which U.S. cities strike the right balance between quality of life and affordability. Chico was the top-rated city in California on the list. The median home price is $466,126, higher than the national average but lower than in many other parts of the state.

Redding - Northern California still has some of the most stunning wilderness in the United States, and you can grab a home in Redding for an average of $392,359. According to real estate agent Faith Barrett, the average income in the city in 2024 was $70,000, well within the budget of many retirees.

Merced - Another California city that's seen home prices decrease in the past year is Merced. They're down 1.5% and sit around $397,040, according to real estate website Zillow. As of 2025, the population was under 100,000, but it's been growing steadily since 2010.

Hemet - Located in Riverside County east of Los Angeles, Hemet has a median home price of $445,441, which is down 0.04% from last year. It's centrally located between Los Angeles, Riverside, and Palm Springs and offers a variety of senior living options for those not interested in homeownership.

Other Things To Consider

Retiring in California is certainly a dream. With SoCal’s sunny climate and NorCal’s stunning wilderness, the landscape won’t ever disappoint. There are other things to consider, however, if you want to spend your third chapter in the fourth-largest economy in the world. 

Consider the AARP Livability Index and check medicare.gov to help you compare cities in California against your personal needs. Living in affordable cities in California often means a trade-off, requiring you to drive farther for access to activities or medical care. Many of these cities are improving, as California continues to push for better livability for all residents.

You don’t have to live along the coast to enjoy the natural beauty and benefits of California. Most of the state offers stunning natural beauty, higher-quality healthcare, and plenty of activities to keep you occupied during your retirement.

Over 30 years after Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow first rose to fame on Friends, the duo is open to reuniting onscreen with Courteney Cox.

Kudrow, 62, who is best known for her memorable role as the blonde Phoebe on the beloved series, sat down with Aniston, who played the spoiled Rachel Green on the show, for the new Variety cover story. Along with their costars, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer, and Matt LeBlanc, the stars skyrocketed to fame and went down in TV history. Both Kudrow and Aniston have earned significant acclaim for their post-Friends roles, with Kudrow back for a third and final season as actress Valerie Cherish in HBO’s The Comeback, and Aniston on Apple TV+'s The Morning Show. However, the duo says they are willing to appear alongside each other once again.

"I would love to do another one, if anyone wrote a good one. Let’s do it. You heard it here!" Kudrow shared during the interview. "Can we do you, me and Courteney? What would that be?"

"Girlfriends. Let’s pitch it. Let’s workshop it in front of all of these wonderful people," Aniston said in response.

With millions of Friends stars around the world, it's safe to say that the show would be a success.

When speaking to the HollywoodReporter, the comedy queen shared that she’s grateful she kicked off her relationship with Stern before she became known as Phoebe Buffay on the iconic series. (The couple married in 1995, one year after the show began.)

“I feel like the luckiest thing that happened to me was that I met and fell in love with the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with before Friends, right before,” Kudrow said.

Get ready for whiplash at sea—because Below Deck Mediterranean Season 11 delivers some of the most historic storylines in franchise history.

A mix of baby drama, weddings, and cast shakeups, the new season finds Captain Sandy Yawn juggling messy crew drama, rising tensions, and a bosun balancing life on land and at sea.

For the first time in franchise history, a crew member returns with his family in tow. Bosun Nathan Gallagher and former Below Deck Med deckhand Gael Cameron welcomed baby Kayden, bringing their newborn to Dubrovnik, Croatia, as Nathan splits time between the yacht and home life.

Captain Sandy says she was fully supportive of production accommodating the arrangement—but admits the reality quickly set in.

“Every time I saw Nathan, he was so excited to see his family—but when he came back, he was exhausted,” she told Us Weekly. “It was important that Nathan got to see his son. As far as his job, how many people get to do that? Not many. So the fact that we were able to do that for him was great.”

Chief Stew Aesha Scott was also going through her own happy life change during filming. “Coming back this season, I was a little wary. I was getting married soon, but it honestly ended up being my favorite season ever!”

Deckhand Joe Bradley returns feeling regret from last season, where he found himself in a love triangle with stews Victoria "V" SanJuan and Kizzi Kitchener. The fallout soured Nathan’s attitude toward Joe after the two were once close friends—something Captain Sandy didn’t fully understand.

“I still don’t know what happened,” she admits. “You see how many times I’ve asked… I know about the dynamics between Joe and Nathan, but I don’t know why. I’ve gotten no answer.” She adds, “They had a bromance, and now they don’t… it’s so odd.”

Aesha, meanwhile, says she wasn’t surprised by the tension. “So I just tried to ignore it and let them handle it, until I couldn’t ignore it anymore.” She added Joe and Nathan’s friendship was beyond repair.

Joe, for his part, says he adapted to the dynamic. “I know how to work Nathan, I know how to deal with him. All you got to do is keep your mouth shut and don’t laugh,” he said. “That’s how you deal with Nathan.”

He added, “Nathan does say things, and he wants you to blow up. But if you just keep your mouth shut, head down, tail between your legs, that’s what he likes. He’s an aggressive man.”

On the interior side, Aesha had a very different experience. “The interior team this season was fire! For the first time ever, I finally got three stews. All of them were very capable, so we had the hands to make the guest experience even more elevated. Their dynamic starts OK like always, but things never stay OK for very long in yachting.”

And oh—former Chief Stew Hannah Ferrier returns for a cameo. “Hannah and I were in a great place, and having her there was wonderful,” Captain Sandy shared.

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 11 airs Monday, June 8 at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
